    I know of several people interested in EV that either chose some other maker for EV, or have not yet opted into buying at all, entirely because of Elon.

    And that’s before the endorsement of donOLD.

    Over the years, Phony Stark went from some sort of [anti]hero to straight up supervillain. I guess kinda like Robert Downey Jr. from Iron Man to Dr. Doom.

        They were wondering if it’d be possible to fire 500,000. Maybe from one of the smaller companies where no one would notice, like one of the cab companies?

        Zorg: fire 1,000 000.

      Supervillains have some sort of charisma. People love to hate them. When a Bond villain is on screen, it’s like oh, this guy is cool… if Musk was in a movie it would be like wow, please skip this shit, this guy is boring and creepy. Musk is far from authentically charming. He tries though, and it’s nauseating. I admit that the deranged tangerine baboon has some sort of natural charisma - Musk does not. His special facial expressions are atrocious. His attempts at humor are embarrassingly bad. He has very little social awareness. To top it all off, despite being an off putting and repellent petty, immature and clueless ignoramus, he clearly radiates that he think he is the absolute best. So, his new sycophant relationship with Trump is perfect. He’d be like the #2 or 3 evil henchmen, kind of a side character, who gets knocked off 2/3 through the film and the crowd is relieved.

    I won’t forget that Musk played a front-facing role in trying to put an insurrectionist criminal back in power to finish the job of destroying American democracy.

    NASA should be very careful about how they deal with SpaceX since Musk also frequently spreads Russian propaganda.

    IT DIDN’T BACKFIRE! THAT’S A LIE!

    Elon musk pointed a gun at his own head and fired, that’s not backfiring.
    But some people may be surprised that somehow it wasn’t a good idea.
    But I’m sure Trump is left there laughing. Maybe he is going down, but at least he can take some people with him.

    Does no one else see that Musk is becoming a cliche´ bond villian?

    He owns a company that facilitates worldwide communications thru satellites in Earth’s controlled by him.

    He owns a company that facilitates the movement of people where each one of his vehicles report back to him everything in and around it and exactly where it is in the world.

    He owns a company that a good number of people worldwide use to communicate with each other the most mundane to confidential things. He rules it with an iron fist allowing comminications of those who wish to subjugate others and commit violence to flow free while censoring or banning those who wish for peace and understanding.

    He owns a company focused on space travel, and whose goal is to colonize another planet but whose technology can also be sold to anyone with enough money to use as an airborne delivery system for weapons.

    And let’s be honest. Musk doesn’t want to just colonize another planet, he wants to control it by controlling the means of getting there, how people travel, communicate, and live once there. Who is going to tell the King of Mars no? It’s not like the gov’ts that stopped their own programs to give him money to do it instead can do anything.
