Honestly i question what he really knows/understands.
He has a undergraduate degree in physics. But nothing in computer science and majority of his companys are mostly computer science. I feel like he just has a fasod that hes "smart" but pays other people to tell him stuff and he just relays that as if it were him that knew this information. Very similar to path of exile de-bockel
Just like Trump is a poor person's idea of a rich man, Elon is a stupid persons idea of a smart man. He's not a complete moron like Trump, but he's no Stephen Hawking either.
Think that mask dropped a while ago. He used to have a PR/management team that would stop the stupid shit he'd say from becoming public or affecting the actual businesses. He fired them around the Twitter takeover iirc and that's when we've all been able to easily see how stupid and bigoted he actually is.
And ex co-workers. And most of his family.
DOGE is making the person Musk more known and (judging by these precedents) knowing Musk better doesn't seem to be conducive to liking him more
His interfering with European politics is despised over here - promoting far-right groups in Germany, France and the UK deliberately to destabilise our countries. The man is genuinely dangerous to all democracies, not just the US.
Poor baby. I still don't understand why all the austerity measures. Because when donvict came into office, he was handed an economy with very, very great numbers.
I mean, in their fictional universe - the real reason is likely to defang any oversight of these criminals and steal as much money for themselves. The cover story they tell the idiot base is what?
If trump legit won the election, he only won by about half. I think it's fair to assume probably all dem voters do not like musk now, and I'm sure many Republicans don't either. The majority is against musk.
That's definitely part of it. I would say the trucks that are literally becoming unglued (while the CEO is figuratively) are causing equal, if not greater, damage.
Pretty sure that's the express goal with all the protests and the burning cars and the like.
When I think on it though, given his personality this comment is probably just a big FU to the protesting public, "See? You can't stop me, I still have hundreds of billions and will fuck things up at will."
lol yeah right institutional investors are selling their stocks because of political reasons. LOL no stock went down long before Teslas were burning and before the data of dropping sales came out. It's because you are a fuck head Elon you are the CEO of Tesla you are supposed to run the company not pretend you are the president. These big investors really don't like it when the CEO of a company they own is being distracted doing other things.
What sucks is on the way down, between Trump’s tariff and preference for ICEs and foreign markets retaliating, he’ll take down the other US EV players. The ones run by what seems like genuinely nice people like Rivian and Lucid.
In the greater scheme of things it wouldn’t matter so much, but quite a shame.

He'll just create another company to purchase the failing company from himself, pocket the money he paid himself, and write it off on taxes.

pleasegoaway@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 1y
The austerity is an attempt to offset the money the US will lose from tax cuts for the ultra wealthy.
It’s their way of giving the appearance of a balanced budget.
In reality, the austerity measures are just another transfer of wealth to the ultra wealthy.
