In the past 3 days, Elon has killed:
- Charging
- Batteries
- New Cars

and is just betting the entire company on self-driving taxis and a lovely humanoid robot

Were I a serious investor, I'd be pretty pissed that Elon completely destroyed the part of the company that was making money and is going all-in on things that don't loving exist

This is "bi-monthly curated basket of snacks" level of new direction he's taking the company in.

The only real buyer is if somebody thinks they can squeeze value from the name cause the rest of Tesla stuff is not super useful to actual car companies, especially if he tanks the supercharge network and other pieces.

So by the time they're ready to be sold I assume BYD and others have no thirst for it.

Zip2? Is that more juvenile humor? Was he sneaking racial slurs into stuff even then?

Pretty sure it's in the sense of moving quickly somewhere.

I was under the impression Musk knew the robotaxi and robot stuff was horseshit - he had a dancer in a bodysuit on stage to announce it for fucks sake - and they'd keep putting out cars and chargers and poo poo but this is either him having some form of meltdown or he really buys the "we're a tech company" line.

In all likelihood, it's just Elon describing how he had opened a share folder on a computer that he enabled peer-to-peer with, but he's using billion-dollar C-suite language to describe it.

Wall Street loves layoffs but not executive layoffs. THOSE ARE REAL PEOPLE, DAMNIT!

Before yesterday's layoffs, Musk reportedly had about 35 direct reports (CEOs usually have 10). Could it be he's trying to make himself indispensable by getting rid of literally anyone who could lead the company?

That reminds me of this very lovely Elon anecdote. He still denies it but uhm I think he's kind of a liar so

quote:

Vance wrote that when Musk’s assistant of 12 years, Mary Beth Brown, asked for a raise, Musk told her to take two weeks off. Musk took on Brown’s duties, so the story goes, and when she returned from vacation, Musk let her go because he realized he didn’t need her.

Business Insider painted the anecdote as “an important career lesson.” Entrepreneur picked up the story, too. And Fortune promoted the Business Insider story on its Facebook page.

The CEO of Tesla and Space X categorically refuted the story in a string of tweets.

quote:

refute | rɪˈfjuːt | or | rəˈfyo͞ot |

The core meaning of refute is ‘prove a statement or theory to be wrong’, as in attempts to refute Einstein's theory. In the second half of the 20th century a more general sense developed, meaning simply ‘deny’, as in I absolutely refute the charges made against me. Traditionalists object to this newer use as an unacceptable degradation of the language, but it is widely encountered.

Return to tradition.
