Or Elon picked out a random Uber rats driver to gently caress with out of nowhere. He will probably call him a pedo before the day is out

This poo poo is like if Elon made a dinky little single engine plane , marketed it as some transcendent innovation, had someone point out

"Hey Elon, your plane is maybe a bit small and dink to really be used for anything other than light cargo and training"

And Elon responds saying

"Well maybe you should read your flight text books because lift is generated by a differential in airspeed over the wing"

Like all he is doing in defense is describing the mechanics he isn't grasping , this level of ignorance is wild

Can we get confused back in here to describe how this is actually a deep understanding of markets and Elon is actually a very smart boy?

And he bailed after, what 2 minutes? And then pulled the plug on literally all of Twitter's ability to host conference calls so no one else could get together and laugh at him in private.

The stock market in general has had a rough year, so I was curious about the comps. Since Musk kicked off the Twitter acquisition on April 14th, Tesla's value has decreased by 58% (lol). As a point of comparison I looked at the NASDAQ, which lost 21% over the same time period. So huge fuckin lol at whatever "it was the FED's fault" or "it was savings account's fault" bullshit excuse ol' Musky trots out.

I'm trying to understand this article. So, the "suspect" in the article is a member of Musk's security team, who followed the "stalker" into a parking lot, then hit the "stalker" with their car? Then the "stalker" filed a police report and also told the Washington Post that Grimes was sending him secret messages?

It kind of seems like the guy was stalking Grimes and a member of Musk's security team confronted him about it and then tried to block him from leaving with their car. Not sure how this reflects on Elon.

Looking at the article, there's two separate guys involved here.

The first guy is the one the WaPo dug up, he's the UberEats driver who thinks Grimes is sending him coded messages across Insta and, yeah, probably is a stalker if not the stalker. The second guy is this dude from CT who allegedly got hassled by one of Musk's security people out of the blue and then filed a police report, which is what the Guardian is reporting.

So (I think) this is the timeline of events:

* Musk's thug hassles Guy#2 at random & films it in order to make it look like His Holiness is being stalked thanks to ElonJet.
* Musk then bans ElonJet, that whole comedy happens.
* WaPo finds or is found by Guy #1, who (because stalker) decides to say that he's Guy #2 in the stalking video. Whether or not he actually is is up to debate at this point.
* Guy #2 contacts the cops, the cops start digging into it.
* The Guardian finds out and posts this article.

Nothing happened because nothing was ever going to happen because Musk would only "abide by the results" if it agreed with his preconceived notions.

The biggest development is that he's started insinuating the results were ruined by bots and has agreed with suggestions that only people that pay for checkmarks should be allowed to vote.
