This super-genius real-life-Tony-Stark has revealed himself to be a chaotic doofus incapable of running a successful company when he's not insulated by more capable people.

I thought the Tesla board approved a massive bonus for him. Where did that money go?

The bonus was in stock. It was pretty much just replenishing the stock he dumped when he was buying twitter.

wouldn’t life be easy if you could just use everyone else’s money for whatever you want

Why tho? He doesn’t need it to be profitable, he already has it as his own echo chamber. Any more money in is just sunk cost fallacy to bring back people he’s happy to see gone in the first place.

“It’s my house and I’ll shoot out the windows if I want to,” Musk was heard screaming, yesterday.

This, and if he doesn't keep burning money, What-Was-Once-Twitter's ebbing audience will ebb faster.
