I can’t imagine anyone that has decent prospects would agree to go back to Tesla after getting canned with those kinds of wild swings in decision making.

I read in another thread that a lot of people agreed Elon lost it when he called that diver of the rescue team for kids trapped in a cave in Thailand a pedo. I mean wtf. If I remember correctly he never apologized and defended his insult. That’s completely unacceptable.
That definitely opened my eyes. Also, a lot of rich people lost their minds during COVID because they were briefly treated like the rest of us.
Like during the Pandemic, the tone-deaf video of celebrities singing because they were bored and stuck at home?
Yeah. That’s when we noticed it publicly. I was pretty online at that time period and Elon was well regarded before that. There were the his family wealth issues and the whole ousting Tesla founders and calling himself one or whatever that whole thing was.but they seemed like an alright side effect of genuis at the time…
Certainly sometime before that and the purchase of X but at one point with tesla, spaceX, and solar/battery stuff he seemed to be going somewhere. even the boring company. It was around or post hyperloop. I think he needed an excuse for the boring company and then I dunno somehow lost it with it being impractical.
The solar/battery stuff was just him saving an almost bankrupt company his cousins had. SpaceX and Tesla had both invested in the company, and he would have lost the money and like faced regulatory scrutiny had it went under.
Hyperloop was his effort to disrupt California’s high-speed rail plans.
Hyperloop? The failed project he pushed just to make sure other possible projects that would just work would not be done? Yeah, he was better back then… not.
Not only did he never apologize, he paid for investigation in the hopes that the diver randomly turned out to be a pedo and vindicating him. Then when that failed, he tried to play it off as “of that’s just a common south African generic insult, no one takes it literally”, with no one banking him up on that one.
Pedo Guy Musk let us know it’s just a South African phrase that’s common.
That’s just Elon being petty and he was attacked first.
It was his trans daughter coming out and disowning him when shit started spiraling into the right wing must save the world from wokeness.
There’s a big difference in being petty or vindictive or an asshole and this anti wokeness stuff which is going to cause great harm to society.
He always had the asshole/ petty thing going if you followed him before.
Also, I bet if we ever saw those 2 reconcile their relationship, we’d see a change in his public persona.
I’m not holding my breath on that one though.
