he never had any business acumen; the guy is Steve Jobs if you took away the business acumen but left the hype

Musk himself has said that Tesla was days away from bankruptcy in 2018; it would've imploded back then if it weren't for federal electric car subsidies (which effectively took money from GM and Ford and transferred it to Tesla) as well as cash grants from New York and California

for fuck's sake, the guy was so desperate in 2018 he tried to close a deal to sell Tesla to the the Saudis by tweeting that the deal was already done when it wasn't

he's a narcissist and a bully and kind of an idiot. Reusable rockets are cool though.

This is exactly why I can't stand those centralized social media platforms, where some asshole has total control over everything. Hopefully, you guys will open your eyes and venture into the realm of decentralized platforms like Sylo for a more decentralized way of communicating, Phaver, DSCVR, and other Web3 platforms. Stupid ass move..

AI was their exit grift. Get every last investor cent they could before the bottom dropped out. The internet has never been as low quality as it is now, even the weather is wrong.
