While government doesn't operate for a profit, that doesn't make it ok to confiscate private money with the threat of prison and then waste it. Efficiency should be at least as much of a goal in government as it is in the private sector.

Don’t forget when he was talking about getting his engineers to crash develop a solution to get the kids out of the cage in Thailand, and showed up with a shite product that wasn’t used, and started bashing on social media the guy who actually got the kids out by saying he must only be doing it because he’s a pedo.



The other guy started it. He later sued Musk and lost. I don't think Musk is blameless in the affair, but calling that guy a pedophile was a pretty funny retort, IMO. It was kind of like, hey buddy, I think you're getting a little too worked up about those trapped young Thai boys... what's up?

Because politicians take your money which you could use for private purposes and spend it on public "works." It goes from people who may be watching every dollar to assholes who don't mind setting it on fire, usually to buy votes. In the meanwhile, they devalue the dollars they let you keep. Wake up.

I think he knows what he wants to do, but I think the more he digs into things he will learn that what he wants to do and the way he wants to do it isn't going to be as easy as he thought.



I think he has a bunch of ideas, some he knows won't work or he can't implement, and is going to take a messy path to something that is probably going to be quite successful by some metrics and not others. And we'll all look and go, yeah, I guess we should have assumed he'd do something pretty impressive even though it was a circus for a while.

Kinda missing the point of him turning into an impulsive egotistical a-hole over the past few years.

I think he bought a little too much into his own hype, and forgets that he is where he is by layering gambles over gambles. Luck as well as acumen played a role.

But so many of his projections and public statements falling flat implies that while he might have vision, they are only loosely tied to reality.

Same thing. How do you explain public officials with 6 figure salaries yet they’re all worth millions?

These pictures will be sure to trigger Leftists:




All these guys know they’re about to get the opportunity of a lifetime from Elon after he threw out 90% of the workforce and all the assholes have now been kicked the frick out.

Also from my count, I can only see five women present. So seems like once Elon took away their kombucha, foosball table, and free gourmet lunches all the woke bitches either left or were fricking fired. Gives off the exact opposite and based vibe as when Arianna Huffington showed off the “diversity” at her website:

Ah yes, a picture of people with 80% being minorities will surely trigger the left.

Elon knows what he’s doing. He has 40 billion at stake. Not just his money. He’s not going to let it all fade away.

Given that Leftists get more vicious and angrier at minorities that don’t support their initiative, yeah they will. The Woke think white males are inherently evil and it’s in their very nature to be such, so they give them a slight break. Minorities though that don’t go along with their Woke ideology they view as full blown traitors. The Woke are racists who think they know what is best for minorities, and when they don’t they’ll hurl any racist insult that they can think of towards them.

Plus they care more about the gender pay gap over the race pay gap. They want minorities to be poor and oppressed so they rely on Democrats for sustenance. Plus they don’t consider Asians and Indians to be minorities.
