Nah. All they have to do is make him “Chief Futurist” or some other bullshit title that has no power but lets him keep his twitter account. That way they can put someone in charge who actually understands how to run a profitable and growing global manufacturing company, but also gets to take advantage of his cult.

The board should have forced him out years ago. I doubt they will now.

Oh the people going “If you are afraid, stay home and curl up in a ball”, “this is all overblown” and so on are a perfect circle with folks who have MAGA memes, pro Trump/FOX News posts on their profiles or swapped their profile image for that preo resistance thing. No way would they buy something as ecologically…

Musk is a moron. But he is not that stupid. He will join others like Thiel and just fund a SuperPAC supporting Trump.

1000%

Don’t give him ideas.  He will likely make a twitter poll and say that is the will of his workers.  

Said this in the other thread - No way would he actually move the HQ. Costs too much. How many of his critical HQ staff would want to move to Nevada or Texas? Will they pay the moving expenses for all of those people?

With the exception of a handful or retiress clearly trying to boost their retirement funds, nobody in my community who is in the “End The Lockdown NOW!” crowd could afford a Tesla. 

Yup. and even someone as narcasistic as Musk knows that the real reason Tesla is doing so well is its top management. He will not lose them in a move.

Yup. Just saw his tweets. Absolute moron.

Yah their recent “OMG this guy hates Telsa stock and now he is BUY BUY BUY!” articles are absolutely rediciousl. They are so fawning even if the author does not have any stock, I won’t be surprised to find out their spouse or relative does (or some other roundabout way of making themselves richer). 

Nah he will not go anywhere. He is far too cheap to spend the money to move the factory.

I see that site in my feed all the time. It is kind of amazing to jump in every once in a while and see how absolutely cultish they are.  

It seems to slowly be moving in the right direction. I used to encounter the dangerous and ignorant “I will never vaccinate my family” people often. Now it is more “I will do it, but on a delayed schedule”. Still just as uninformed and dangerous. But at least they are giving the vaccines. So I see that as slow…

I am 100% on the side of this being some sort of *wink**wink* way to get to the real name. That the boy has a normal-ish name and he is pretending this is some sort of pretentious smartness test so only a precious few in his private cult know the real name.

I had this happen in Hawaii on one of those one lane volcano roads. Guy in a giant rented jeep just barreling through the middle of the lane at way to fast speed for the very bumpy, pothole filled road. If he moved over the the extreme edge of the road, everyone could pass safely. But he would not move over one inch.…

They took him off the DLC - so chances are incredibly high they will never work with him again.

Seems like nobody is the winner here.

ABsolutely. Yoda would be the one to roid up to compensate.

I think it is because Yoda was an asshole who was the school gym coach equivalent of a Jedi Master. He put more time into playing pranks on the students than actually teaching them.
