Seeing how it’s CEO appreciation week, someone needs to show Elon some love. 

And just like that, you’ve summoned him!

This is a better, and I think more standard, solution.

$30,000 in damage to save a $20 Etsy necklace! Huzzah!

I know a couple people that came from UK to USA. They were Physical Therapists. They came for higher pay and less taxes. Now they’re moving back because the supposed net gain ended up being a net deficit after having to figure out health insurance, etc. that their taxes paid for in England.

1st gear: It’s just too bad that pretty much all of the investors and board are enamored with his bullshit and determined to prop up the emperor with no clothes, die-hard yes men to the end. And nothing and no one else has any way to influence his grifting - his ill-gotten wealth is an impervious shield.

I’m willing to believe that the number was somewhere between 1M and 2M, for three reasons:
1) They promised a base price of $40k, making it competitive to other trucks, which are the best-selling market segment in the US
2) Reservations were open world wide, so it certainly includes Canadians and Europeans as well
3)…

This x1,000,000.

It’s like reserving a spot in a line for 10 cents.

Worth doing if you expect the item may be amazing and line may be long, but once those are found not to be true ..whoopty do

It only cost $100 to reserve one so a lot of people reserved them with the intention to wait and see if they’d actually want them.  I saw on a cyberstuck forum that someone had wanted a new one every couple of years so got a few reservations spaced out hoping they gauged the gaps right.  It turned out that their…

the numbers become more plausible if buyers believed that they could get one for $40k, which is less than the current average new car price. but at 2 1/2 times that, most people obviously ran for the hills

Those numbers just don’t line up at all. Let’s say they had a million deposits/reservations. That’s 1 in every 300 Americans. Now figure that half of America has pretty much ruled out an EV, at least for now. And at least half of those those that would consider an EV won’t consider a Tesla and/or think the CT is a…

At this point, you’re a complete fool if you believe a word that man says.

The Equinox EV starts at $33.6k. Again, stop.

Looks are subjective. The Equinox EV looks great, has plenty of technology, and comes in well below $66k. Same for the Blazer EV. Hell you can even get Lyriqs below $66k.

“Became lost while using his GPS"? I read that as "tried to cut across illegally after missing his exit"

Starlink will never be profitable. It is hiis hyperloop space project.

Oh, and btw, to go further than low earth orbit, you need to go even faster

Not a fanboi but I suspect if he were to colonize Mars he would have 100% complete control over those people and there would be no way any governments can control what he can do. 

SpaceX is operating in a field worth only a few billions a year. Surprisingly, there is a limit to how much stuff you want to put up there.

The EV maker founded by Musk has become the world’s most valuable auto company, with a price tag of about $710billion. That makes it worth more than Coca-Cola, Bank of America and Boeing combined.
