No. Because once sanity prevails again he’ll be richer than ever been or dead. And by that time his bones won’t care

Because I am aware that Elon gave Trump $250 MM and in return he gets to do whatever he wants in government? It’s not like that’s a secret. What does that have to do with my kids?

what makes you think I have a problem with him? I’m just stating facts.

Would money be more important to you if a group of people destroyed one of your children like they did Elon's?

A little over a year ago, leftists were singing his praises and buying his cars.

Well the guy benefitted so heavily from US Subsidies that it only stands to reason that he cut off subsidies to his competition. That part is worth it.

And the Stock price of his AI company is up.

Has Musk changed at all?

Was he always doing the Seig Heil salute?

Or plundering through Americans sensitive tax information?

Or cutting US aid programs, cutting veterans jobs and benefits?

Or advocating for mysoginists?

No. Nobody really knew what this guy’s real interests were, until he made them more public after the election. The list goes on and on…

No, because the Left was going to try and completely ruin Elon. This all started when he spoke out against his boy being turned into a "girl".

I'm not a big proponent of EV vehicles but if I were to invest in a company that manufactured EV vehicles, I think Tesla is a decent company for investment.

I enjoyed listening to his reasoning for space exploration and Mars settlement. Seemed a genuine interest in advancing civilization and sustaining life. He's prioritizing course correction where he recognized we’re not sustainable. Those other two things you mentioned are just typical Dem flailing in quicksand. frickin soy.

I like to imagine an alternate reality 3-4 years ago where Musk had the most opportune time to establish himself as the richest man in the world x20, because of course this is his motivation, when the EV craze was in full swing. He's campaigning for Biden, he makes a hand gesture, and republicans call it a Nazi salute. The response from liberals for anyone calling a socially awkward nerdling Asperger's person a Nazi would be APOCALYPTIC.

They would of course burn down cities and commit crimes in retaliation. The hypocrisy is what burdens my soul the most, I truly want to understand it, but I know I never will.

A short term bump. people like Musk are successful because they don't let negative things deter them from their goals.

Yeah, he’s shaking things up. But he’s definitely helping roll things back. Supervisors are getting encouraged to get rid of baddies aka lazy fricks. Much needed purging.

MAGA!

The world is full of hypocrits. He's in it for the long haul. This is but a blip. He can withstand the drop in sales as long as the shareholders and board don't oust him as Chair. Not sure of their bylaws or if that is even possible. I would imagine they know getting rid of him would be even worse. The quality of the vehicle won't change. Never wanted but I could pick a used one up on the cheap, I would bet.

They were coming after him anyway. No one should regret not being evil.

He's competing now with fsd being released three. Chinese are posting videos and saying how Chinese self driving doesn't come close to the humans like driving of Tesla's fsd. Their software are full of bugs and built very cheaply.

I’ll help you here, this is as close as it gets. His income fluctuates daily.


Elon Musk


* Elon Musk's daily earnings average $96.1 million, translating to $672.8 million weekly, $2.93 billion monthly, and $35.1 billion annually, based on his wealth growth over the past decade.


* If Musk's wealth continues to grow at the same rate, he could become the world’s first trillionaire within 17 years.


•Elon is worth $300 Billion, if he invested his money in Tax Free Government Bonds, he would get $15 Billion a year, without touching the principal.


I don’t think he regrets much. People like him, love new challenges. They can’t settle down with just one thing going.

A relative of mine has started numerous businesses, gets them lined out, starts something else. When I talk with him, I see a new direction, onto another adventure.


I’ve done a bunch in my lifetime, much of it has been very enjoyable. I’ll keep doing as long as I can. Now, I do things for no charge. I stay busy, some say, too busy.



Going on the roads less traveled, adds to the adventure!
