he said. “We’ll be gone, and it’ll be gone because of an advertiser boycott.”… eeer, no.

    I hope the boards of Tesla and SpaceX are paying attention. Once Xitter goes down in flames, he’ll be looking for the next project to micromanage into bankruptcy.

      Why wouldn’t he have done that first?

      Twitters downfall is intentional, if he wanted to micromanage Tesla and SpaceX he would have. This is all a symptom of the fact that he didn’t want to buy Twitter in the first place, he was using it as a coverup for selling stock in Tesla.

        Both companies had teams of handlers that followed him around and kept him from messing with important work. Now that he’s addicted to 24/7 media attention, I doubt the handlers will be able to contain him.

      I don’t understand why Tesla won’t remove him. He isn’t even the majority stock holder. I highly doubt he adds any value for the company at this point so the only thing I can think of is that there must be some weird clause in their agreements.

      I’ve owned a Tesla since 2017 and at this point, I’ve only replaced tires and spent less than $1000 on electricity to go a bit over 50k miles, but I’m ashamed to be driving it every day and it sucks.

      Sounds like a win for Tesla and SpaceX employees.
