Given that Musk seems hell-bent on becoming the villain from every piece of science fiction ever, I kind of expect him to keep fire departments around but have them start fires.

Very handy for book burnings.

Literally Fahrenheit 451

I'm still shocked at how america is being taken apart and taken down by a white supremacist south african. Maybe their power wasn't so super after all.

I'm sorry, the preferred nomenclature is 'African-Amercan'

Yes—say and do things that are going to make you more unpopular.

Tesla's stock did not go up 17%.

I definitely did on this one and it's a good reminder that I'm amplifying my echo chamber by getting lazy and only looking at headlines.

Oh man, he's going to pull a Crassus. I hope he ends the exact same way too, nothing would be more fitting.

Was he on drugs when he posted? It’s a pretty bizarre read.

I don't know if it's drugs or trying to be funny or both

Weird thing to want when people are setting your businesses on fire.

Elon just wants to get back to the traditional roots of firefighting.
Private companies standing around and watching buildings burn, until the owner comes out and pays them.

Godamn this is borderline believable.

The same fire department preventing his shitty cars from burning down entire cities?

Aren’t the fire departments the one “saving” his burning show rooms? I mean if you wanna let them all burn down without being stopped by all means 👐🏼
