    I’d say just about the same thing if I had lost a whole Boeing’s market cap worth of stock value in just about few days.

    Two comments:

    1. If you and Elon Musk are playing bad-cop-good-cop, how shitty of a person do you have to be for Musk to play the good cop?

    2. This sound a lot like Russia saying they want peace. You know the argument that"if Ukraine just gave up their territory, government and freedom there would be no war, it’s their fault!". Same here, if Europe removed all their social security and pesky regulations so that US companies could do everything they wanted there would be no tariffs!

      After the report the other day that Trump said Musk would soon be gone, with Musk responding that that was fake news, I was expecting Trump to be playing the good cop.

    Dude is gonna get whacked by a mentally ill vet he got fired. Calling it. I know so many mentally ill vets that could only work for the government. Those people won’t find jobs and they will blame Elon. Calling it.

      Oh god you’re right. Research into lone actor grievance fuelled violence shows that people who are more likely to do it include unemployed people with MH issues and access to firearms. Musk inspires a lot of hatred and the news is saturated with him, someone already shot at Trump… it’s gonna happen.

        Musk wears a kevlar vest and a kid of his shoulders everywhere he goes, you either Chris Kyle him or you get left with a handful of dust and a death sentence if you get caught.

        You might be onto something with gay vegans. The democratic party leadership has been flailing around looking for a cause they can rally around without solving any problems for anyone.

        He took loans against his tesla stock to buy Twitter. If the value of that stock gets low, The banks or whoever will ask for their money. They could also sell the stock to try and recuperate some of the money and that will cause tesla to drop. Which will cause investors to sell and it’s a spiral until hopefully he’s broke. Thata why hes crying about the protests, telling his workers not to sell their stock, and having trump and his propagandists say support the asshole buy a truck!

          How is this affected by him selling X to his AI company? I know banks don’t like letting you off the hook, but I also know banks do things differently for rich people. I figured that was the reason he did it in the first place.

            according to Reuters , he sold it for 33 billion with 12 billion in debt. So 45 billion total, which is conveniently 1 billion more than what he paid originally. It also says that the banks that lent him 13 billion were finally able to sell. I wonder if the Saudis bought it.

            This is something I was curious about. I figured there was some kind of financial trickery happening with that deal.

    They’ll still hate Tesla almost as much as they hate you, Elon. They won’t suddenly start trusting Xitter or Starlink, either. Just shut up and go away.
