Years ago you would have done a double take on this, assuming it was just a Musk parody account posting stuff like that...but nope.
Its 2024 and the Free speech absolutist really posts stuff like this on the platform he overpaid for and lost 80% revenue because it caters to nazis.

Well, yeah, Cybertrucks are still in Beta. Anyone who buys one is still testing them for Tesla.

Just a quick glance at the transcripts, any of his lawyers first job is to keep him away from any deposition. No wonder he caved so quickly in the lawsuit to force him to buy twitter.

EDIT: Damn, Bankston just called Elon's lawyer, Spiro, worse than Alex Jones lawyers, who handed over a whole bunch of incriminating ****.

You keep thinking that Musk cant drop any lower, but somehow he still manages to do exactly that constantly.

AI is already smarter than Musk and the Techbros who worship him.
Like, what kind of smart are we talking about exactly?
If it becomes smarter than actual smart people, then we should maybe worry...but as long as the bar is guys like Musk, we are fine.

Those layoffs sounds harsh. Any Tesla investors still with their head in the sand that Musk is the right person for the job going forward and not totally distracted by Twitter and the culture war (which also has a knock on effect on a large proportion of the EV potential customer base) is finding out too. Tesla is supposed to be a MAG 7 stock but is not even close to half the market cap of the smallest member (Facebook/Meta). There's also another 5 companies that are bigger than Tesla now that aren't on the list.
