Is it mean to say I want this company to go bankrupt?
Elon is an idiot but if we could get him to fuck off to an island somewhere I'm hoping Tesla can still do some good.
I think they lit a fire under the big car companies and made them invest in electric. They are still playing catch-up.
But yeah I want Elon to disappear and stop being a dip shit.
True. I also disagree that he's an idiot. He's just an evil/asshole person.
Why not both?
I’m not a fan of Musk but dumb luck will only get you so far. He’s been successful for too long to be a stumbling idiot. Maybe a successful market manipulator that never got caught, or a great salesman for his ventures, but I wouldn’t use idiot to describe him.
And the “he started with millions” doesn’t cut it fully either. He’s the richest man on earth, surely he had to bet on the right things more than once.
He just never should be at the helm of a company structured like Twitter was. Apparently Tesla built their VP level around Musk with great success.
He's a more techy Steve Jobs. And a complete asshole
