    At this point, it’s pretty obvious his entire goal with DOGE was to dismantle federal agencies that were either investigating him in some way, or were trying to regulate his companies. So, I guess this means Tesla can’t survive without him actively gaming the system in his favor.

    That’s surprisingly modest of him, I’d have thought he would have put it the other way around.

    Just gotta love the sudden change in demeanor in the pictures of articles regarding him.

    Destroying the country? Laughs and jumps. Losing everything he “worked” for? Serious face.

    Bye Elon get out of here.

    It’s because the company is fully subsidized by carbon credits and government funding. The crazy brand valuation is based on fully autonomous driving and person less cabs which will never happen at Tesla.

      Exactly! I’m ardently waiting for someone to dirt nap this clown, so I never have to think about him again.

        He’s scared to take a shit without an armed guard. Aparently, conveying this information counts as inciting violence on reddit. I just publically imagined having to stand there and listen to that flabby windbag take a shit and declared he couldn’t pay me enough. He thinks everyone else is as greedy as he is, and in his shitty vampire circle, he’s pretty much right. You couldn’t pay me enough to kiss that ass. My self respect is not up for sale

          I would genuinely rather live under an overpass than have such a horrible job as having to work directly for that monster.

          Also, it makes sense he would have such a fear of the bathroom; rats, snakes, specialized robots, and tentacles (in Futurama) can all make their way up into a toilet through the sewer system.

          Edit: I just realized elon’s ketamine addled brain might genuinely worry that the sewer mutants from Futurama might pull him down there.

        There’s the guy who urges the captain to increase the ship’s speed, so they can arrive a day early and impress everyone that the “unsinkable” ship is also super fast. And then sneaks his way onto a lifeboat at the end, when they’re only supposed to be taking women and children. Arguably a parallel to Musk in that he’s partly responsible for the sinking of the ship.

        Much more prominent is Rose’s (Kate Winslet) rich scumbag fiance who refers to Jack (Leo DiCaprio) as a “gutter rat”, responds to “half the people on this ship are going to die” with “not the better half”, tries to bribe with cash one of the men loading boats in order to secure himself a slot, and ultimately manages to get on a boat by picking up a random crying child and claiming it as his own. Much more like Musk himself, but not really a parallel in having resposibility for the ship sinking.

      Model 3 was my next car for years. Now it’s the Ioniq 6. I’m just so grateful that we are only now able to plan a car purchase this year, and not in the last 2 or 3 years where we would now be stuck in a Tesla.

    I was living under the idea that the Load bearing snake oil salesman of the American Economy was Sam Altman.

    Sorry buddy, but the US has seen bigger industries rise and fall in its time and survive. Your one company will be a blip.
