Well he more or less built his imperium by promising ridiculously ambitious things, which allowed him to attract people who'd otherwise never work for him, but who see him as a sort of "visionary". Especially with stonks going down the drain it makes sense that he is doubling down on this.

Elon is quite literally the exact type of individual who the current administration is attempting to deport without due process.

An illegal immigrant bent of adversely affecting and undermining US government and law
All his companies are failing, the government has to create scenarios and contracts that cost billions to keep him afloat
Elon is costing the US taxpayers billions simply by existing
Scamming old people out of their social security, forcing them to use his specific technology
Having tons of anchor babies in an attempt to further entrench himself
Almost forgot, despite being "one of the busiest people in the World" still time to 'sit on his ass' playing video games.... extremely poorly

He is every single thing this administration claims to be against.

It's funny watching a bunch of people who will happily spend $1000's on egoistic desk weights getting their knickers into a twist over those 'damn rich people'.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume the overwhelming majority of regulars on this forum are very comfortably within the 1% of the 1% of the world's wealth holders and are just jealous that you're not in the 1% of the 1% of the 1%. Go get some fresh air and sunlight.

Look,  This asshat is sitting up there, talking about Oligarchs, and Governments that STEAL from people.

THAT"S HIM, he's talking about himself.. They all do it.

So the device here, is to DIVIDE the population,  no my political opponent is the thief, vote for me and my constituency. We're team not-thieves.

This is my basic litmus test for if the person's opinions are worth more than a passing thought.

If you're calling out something ****ed up, I don't care what side of the particular artificial-divide-of-the-moment you're on as long as you are equally critical of the same behaviour on both sides of that divide.

If you only care about something when #theotherside is doing it, oxygen is too precious to waste on you. Real meaningful progress will never come from tribalists and hypocrites.

The majority of these programs go to local slush funds. These small towns are not solvent. There are people living there, but they do not perform economically to even support the roads/ power/ water leading into them. So, the local leadership can't invest it even if they wanted to, they might do the bare minimum just to pretend like there's a point. Then they divide the bulk of it into their own laundering services/accounts.

You have the crumbling of urban infrastructure due to City rot (poor urban planning, whereby the block can not recoup their own expenses),  the same is the case for a developed nation as a whole as we "age".

In time, these programs and small towns would have to be trimmed anyway. The people there have 3 options, Leave, Die, or Hills have Eyes.

The money for now, will just go to "Some other" slush fund, to pay for cocaine and hookers. It'd be wasted either way. The system for managing this money effectively was broken from the start.


A non issue, it wouldn't have been better, just a different bad in a different place.


This racket is one of the oldest.  The King decrees, here's gold for the flood victims, local leaders bow, take most of the money, keep it for themselves,  barely shore up the local levies, people die,  Repeat, asks for more gold.

What are the odds that he's not gonna be in charge even when he's no longer CEO though?


He is probably hoping that a little distance from his toxic name and face might help.

It would be nice to think that the adults on the Board might start concentrating on producing quality products not held together with spit and glue.

If they replace Musk, TSLA ^roof ?

There's nothing wrong with the technology or the company itself. (other) than ecocide, environmental destruction, etc, but that's still par as far as capitalism goes.

The other thing is, there are no alternatives, America doesn't "Another" labor force or the technological brain mass to produce another EV company, TSLA is our last ditch at a car company.



But then the other end is, welllll... damage is done, brand is a no go.

It's about time.

Not going to happen.
He controls the board, it's effectively privately controlled.

They'll probably survive but only as a small part of what it is and only after the stock tanks.
Public sentiment is lost, the cars are not that good and there's now plenty of alternatives, you don't recover from that easily. Oh and if you own one, if the company folds those cars are going to be worth scrap metal. Tesla controls the entire parts network and the software side making them effectively dead without the company.

The research is interesting, but climate change will kill us all long before we're space-faring.

We're missing so many key technologies for space travel, that researching Ships right now is attempting to research the Kart before even inventing wheels.



It's unlikely that humans will ever populate space in our current form. We need radical biogenetic modifications before we can endure space travel.

Spacemen, if by miracle we get there solving climate change, 3body problems etc,  will likely be a hybrid of Jellyfish+Tortoise+Beetle+Ape+Tree Hybrid.

It will also not likely be an individual unit, The biology would be an immobile block built into the ship itself, the ship is the body.
