Yeah great move.... shows how easily people are manipulated by the mainstream media. <deleted> banging on about climate change & fossil fuels, then attack the company making electric cars which are supposedly trying help to save the planet.

Libtard logic

And then people like you glorify it. 🤡

Thanks Mr Cliche. "Legacy Media" blah blah blah.

I dislike Musk due to his actions. His lies and misinformation constantly posted on Twitter, his outrageous views, his massive ego, his callous behaviour, his almost complete lack of morals.

I don't need "legacy media" to tell me what to think. You guys just trot out these cliches whilst getting your info from Fox News, Sean Hannity and the like and believing ANYTHING that comes out of Trump's mouth without checking or verifying any of it.. The hypocrisy is amazing.

Does this mean self combusting 3 ton behemoth vehicles that have an expected lifespan of a decade and made from materials mined by children in the Congo are not going to save mankind after all? Who could have guessed?

Trump and Musk campaigned on a populist platform. But what we've now got doesn't have a lot of populism left in it. Instead, Musk  and the other Tech Barons have instituted the beginnings of a radical anarcho-libertarian makeover. Musk, Sacks, Thiel, and the rest are a new version of robber barons, ditching laws, taxes, and regulations that impede their personal empires, while allowing the country to descend into chaos.

Do you actually follow him on Twitter? Please tell me you do. If you do you can not not know.

I followed him for years as I respected his achievements with Tesla, SpaceX etc. But last year I had to unfollow him as he would flood my feed with nonsense, constantly reposting false memes and faked rubbish.

Deepfake videos of Kamala Harris. Tweeting that the UK is building detainment camps in the Falklands for British rioters. So many electoral lies too (no, I'm not going through his thousands of posts to find them). Mass election fraud in Michigan (easily explained by election officials), but Musk's lie got 62 million views, the correction got only 63,000 so the lies get bigger and bigger.

 

Literally hundreds and hundreds of misleading or false tweets, often just retweets of someone else's lies with no checking. And this rubbish goes out to his 200 million followers who then believe it and retweet it, and the cycle perpetuates.

My internet life has become much better since I unfollowed him.

Yes that will make the world safe again and have massive impact clearly.

 

I would also like to give some life advice to Elon Musk, even though obviously I'm not a business tycoon like Torquayman. As such my advice centres on another area where I can offer more expertise: dating.

 

Looking at the dating history of Mr Musk, Amber Heard, Grimes, I can't help but think something is amiss.  Clearly Elon has understood that his sexual market value is through the roof. Not because of his fetching face, his muscular body or his dance moves, we all know women don't care about looks, no, women care about one thing only, the cold hard cash. And given that Elon can rightfully claim to be a billionaire, and give away Teslas like confetti, he knows very well that his sexual market value is throught he roof. And yet, and yet....Amber Heard and Grimes.

 

Now, whilst sleeping with another man's wife, even if that man is a film star, I would not consider an accomplishment, but far worse than that, to not vet your women properly is a recipe for disaster. And here Amber Heard and Grimes can rightfully be placed in the cockooo like cocopops category. Yes, Amber  was stunningly attractive before she gained 60 pounds and went to the other side of sapphic love. However, just because a woman is pretty, we should not assume she could make a good life partner.

 

Elon, could it be some of your time would be wisely spent on vetting your women more carefully? Then again your own actions, dating Natasha Basset and then fathering a child with Shivon Zilis WHILST dating Ms Basset appear to indicate that you are perhaps reinventing monogamy the way you have reinvented the car and house building? I await to see the results with great anticipation.

I guess as some kind of financial genius, a 50% drop in sales in your most important markets would not concern you. Or the fact the Chinese are making  cheaper alternatives of better quality, just like the Japanese and Koreans before them. Tariffs will fix all that, right?

 

Like most men, Musk has a big head and small head. Perhaps the mission of the small head is to repopulate Western society with Aryan stock. He's certainly giving it a try.

Purely from a business perspective, Musk needs to get back to his own business, instead of messing disastrously with USA and World affairs

And purely from a business perspective, all of these other businessmen and businesswomen (below) need to get back to his/her own business instead of messing disastrously with USA and World affairs too?  Well, in your world and in the world of the terminally triggered anti-MAGA/anti-Trump/anti-conservative/anti-Repubican community that is. You do understand that every administration in the history of the United State as drawn cabinet members and Presidential consultants and advisors from the business community?  Elon Musk is no different.  And Trump is now running the government like a business, so he has surrounded himself with those from the business world to execute his vision. If his vision falls flat and leads to economic and Geo-political instability, hell, I'll vote for alternative candidates myself come the mid-term and 2028 elections.  If it succeeds, I'll vote to have these people continue to run the show.

The new administration has only been in office for 45 days.  I seriously hope we aren't going to hear 3 years, 244 days of angst and whinging?  Hopefully ya'll will get tired after 100 days or so and begin to give it a rest.  But judging from Trumps last term?  Probably not.

So not much difference to any of the MSM outlets then, they've being doin it for years there never seems to be any accountability or apologies.

I havent looked at X for a while, i find musk quite entertaining. Especially calling out the democrat lies and misinformation.

 

I dont watch fox either, that's another cliché.

Speaking of financial genius, how is your electric car company?, what was the name of your rocket company?, didnt you have a tunnel boring company? too...... 

Musk has done rather well in life. I doubt he needs your advice.

I would not say the performance of his companies does not concern him, clearly it would. However, I suppose your number of fkks given is limited, when your net worth is 347 billion US Dollars. 

 

I mean no matter what happens Musk is not going to worry about paying bills and nor will his children and grand children, and their children.

 

In that constellation I suppose it makes sense to look at other challenges like politics.

Thanks Connda, you make fair points and thanks for the reply.

 

Those you list as being staffed from the world of business were appointees to existing Govt departments. Musk's DOGE seems rather different to me. And Musk is surely unusual in holding Court in Cabinet meets?

 

You say, "If his vision falls flat and leads to economic and Geo-political instability, hell, I'll vote for alternative candidates myself come the mid-term and 2028 elections."

 

It may be only 45 days so far, but it seems to me we have our fair share of 'economic and Geo-political instability' already. ATB

Wow, maybe Trump isn't a complete idiot - there's a huge backlash against Musk, and smart decision to rein him in a bit.

Musk's ego is out of control. If even Trump (the ego of egos) can possibly see that now it says a lot.
