Despite its CEO railing against Biden, Tesla was more than happy to take the administration's money.

    Imagine taking your most strategic asset, and an industry leading product, then doing this to it.

    Musk is this generation’s Howard Hughes. He was always eccentric and weird, but he’s aggressively sliding into his compulsions like Hughes did.

    Hughes ended up locked away, in a dark penthouse, getting yearly fingernail cuts, with a collection of urine filled bottles.

      He’s another Trump. Musk may have money but he has no idea how to spend it.

      Just like trumps ventures they all failed because he’s a shmuck with zero business clue.

      Inherited mommy and daddy’s money but pisses it all away on shit ideas and terrible execution.

      Soon we’ll hear musk is broke because he spent it all on shit he can’t handle.

        He seems to have gotten a lot worse lately, obviously he’s always been a jackass and narcissistic. But up until recently most of his business decisions have been mostly rational. From the accounts I’ve read he has gotten rid of most of if not all of his competent advisors and has been doing a lot more drugs. I think what we are seeing here is an extended manic state, brought on by a lack of stability/stress, some underlying psychological issues, and a whole bunch of drugs.

        Oh and just in case people think I’m defending him. I hate that fucker. I just think it is much more complicated than simple incompetency.

          I hope his drug addictions bring him a lot of pain and anguish.

          Fuck that clown.

        He is broke. He spent his money on a website, immediately crash and burned it, and interestingly wants the purchase value back as pay from Tesla’s board.

        This shit don’t pay for itself

          Provided to him on a silver fucking platter… I mean, it’s astonishing how incompetent he is/was/or is becoming. Holy shit.

      Nah, Musk is an incompetent idiot who got incredibly lucky and managed to fail upwards. He’s not eccentric, he’s just an asshole
