Musk had 6 mansions. He sold them all so he could supposedly just live by couch-surfing and sleeping in the office. Some sort of stupid attempt at humility, I guess. Looks like he realized he'd rather live in comfort and luxury. But not pay for it.

It's the classic 'i work long days without complaining, my workers should too!' His workers job is being on their knees at the coal face with pickaxe, his is playing golf and dining with rich buddies because they're going to mention work maybe.

Uh oh, outright stealing shareholder money. That can put you in prison for real.

But that’s only if you’re poor.

If you’re rich, you just pay the $10 fine.

You're just not smart enough to buy your footwear from the gardening department.

The company wrote algorithms about a decade ago to create “rosy” in-dash driving range estimates, Reuters reported a source as saying, and set up a “diversion team” to cancel range-related service appointments.

The carmaker deployed the team because its service centres were inundated with appointments from owners who had expected better performance based on the company’s advertised estimates and the projections displayed by the in-dash range meters of the cars themselves,..

Musk is a lying grifter. Everybody except his fan-cult are aware of that.
