Tennessee or Texas would be great for Tesla's production facility.

He's talked a lot about the threat that "Big tech" is to privacy. He is a real interesting person and very smart. He is no different than most, he's learning from life.

Yea same, I don’t agree with him on a lot of things but I enjoy and appreciate him challenging the powers that be.

I don’t track him a ton but he appears to put his money where his mouth is.

He’s easily the most introspective leader in tech and the only one who seems to have any self-awareness or a pair of nuts.

Good for Musk.

He’s standing up for what’s right.

So he’s down there on the front lines & willing to take one for the team, while the betas try to shame him on their phones & social media. Then the dem. politicians will crucify him when someone dies. Hmm, sounds like someone I voted for...sucks being a man doesn’t it?

I always wondered if he was the source for the guest character on Friends that dated Monica awhile - the guy that was a rich tech entrepreneur and kept getting beat up trying UFC or something like that.

IIRC he only came to the states in 2002. Enrolled at Stanford for 2 days and then overstayed his visa. His frick you money came long after friends was written...,I think. I hope he leaves California.

Probably. He’s already publicly said so.

But there’s apparently a school of thought that tech companies can only exist in Silicon Valley bc that’s the only place on earth with the best computer nerds and the nerds aren’t capable of relocating.

What's to hate about Elon Musk? Dude is a badass at everything. Whether it be manipulating a system or inventing shite or smoking weed.

I like the guy. The hate is due to the heavy subsidies (although many companies get subsidies) and the fact he’s making electric cars and not big block V8s.

He's the only guy with the balls to get off his arse and create new things. Meanwhile all the fat cats don't give a rats arse about scientific breakthroughs and use tech as a way to squeeze money out from the public. Elon gives them the finger successfully and i say good on him.
