    Elon musk is the modern Icarus - he wears the wings someone else invented, does not know how to wield them properly, flies too close to the sun and dies crashing. Except, it’s not only wings, it’s a fucking airplane and we are all along for the ride.

    Wonder why he’d be pondering America being destroyed. I thought his team was making everything better for the US.

    Can we deport this asshole to some random prison already and/or use the big droppy-sharp-thingy? So sick of hearing about him and knowing he’s freely traipsing around the world unhindered.

    Then whyyyyy did he work so damn hard to sink us? Fucking idiot. No matter what happens, even if I hear about it in a Salvadoran labor prison, if he kills himself, it’ll be a good day.

      No matter what happens to the rest of us, Musk’s future is on a mega yacht cruising around molesting any mammal that moves, and he knows it. He’s the world richest man, he’ll be fine.

    Why do I have a feeling he meant to say “If Tesla goes down, America will go with it”

    The fuck it will.

    Elon might go down with it (probably not), but one shitty, Nazi-led, small time automaker going from circling the drains to out of business won’t hurt the US.

    The US will be better off once all remaining Teslas are in history museums. Preferably in the section where kids on field trips can learn about Great Mistakes in American History.

      Isn’t the implication that he’s saying Tesla will fail if America fails, not that America will fail if Tesla fails? He’s basically saying he has tied his fortunes to America’s future, not necessarily the other way around.

      They still turned a profit thanks to tax credits despite all the down sales numbers and it’s a meme stock

      Irrational markets are irrational.

      There is a reason people lose all there money on the stock exchange and there is reasons idiots make loads of money.

      Any expert on this stuff are probably avoiding and have been avoiding Tesla for about 10 years. But cryto Bros have been investing for 10 years and been making loads of money.

      Remember people. You don’t own the money until you cash out. $100,000 in Tesla isn’t the same as $100,000 in the bank.
