I thought it had more to do with the fact that his response to his company doing bad was to just go crazy and try to fight the media and make a website where you can rate journalists on their credibility.

He's always been a massive fraud, Tesla has never been able to manufacture cars anywhere near the promised volume and has consistently lost money almost every quarter. His family made his fortune from blood diamonds. His insane vacuum subway system has always been regarded as a mind-boggling terrible scheme by anyone who knows anything about public transit or urban planning. All of that has been widely available information. But still people generally thought he was some kinda disruptive genius who was gonna have us all driving electric cars to Mars and make Pickle Rick real.

But then he started dating Grimes and everybody realizes that Musk is terrible.

I literally have no idea who you're talking about. I'm mostly mad because he's always been a tech bro who made money by abusing PayPal users. But I thought the reason poo poo was going down about him going crazy the media. Who the hell cares about some musician?

Let's all just focus on making GBS threads on Elon Musk, which is even more on-topic since he probably thinks he's Tony Stark or Bruce Wayne or John Galt or something.

Musk appeared in Iron Man 2, Grimes did a WicDiv variant cover. This is all on topic but Grimes hitched her wagon to a better product at least.

I rewatched Iron Man 2 a few weeks ago and it was weird to see him pop up there because I didn't think he was that famous at that point.

Wait, Musk is getting into Twitter fights? I got the vibe in recent months that this man lives off of everyone thinking he's a genius. When he couldn't handle his investors and ran to a sycophant publicly, it really made it clear how fragile he is. I don't know what he expects going to happen to all of that after this public display of stupidity and childishness.

hes been having a slow public meltdown on twitter since the media has been rightly covering tesla cars complete lack of safety, consumer reports came out blasting whatever the "consumer" price car is a week or two ago, and after he admitted to forcing employees to give up stock options if they want to unionize he's been in their crosshairs

If anything, there's a non-zero chance he's getting it at home too because she went "He's good on unions, y'all!" a few hours before he publicly engaged in union-busting.

I heard about him running from his investors and attacking the media, but I did not hear about him forcing his employees to lose stock options if they try to unionize. The guys a real piece of work, it seems.

The person he's talking to is a public transport expert, while Musk thinks that public transport is full of murderers and his main tunnel project is literally designed around his commute.

Elon Musk is, like Donald Trump, a Wharton boy. My partner used to work in academic administration and was briefly working at Wharton, the most agonizing job she ever had, just a boot camp for vampires as portrayed by Udo Kier.
