Both cisgender and transgender people can be hetero, this guy is an idiot.

The words straight and gay aren’t ’heterophobia’ either, ya dip **** diarrhea mouthed bigot.

Yep, also not trusting my money with him.

At this point I am now waiting for Musk to just start saying Nazi rhetoric verbatim instead of couching it inside of other phrases.

A $94B loss is good, but I think Elon can get it even lower, you know.

The more musk turns into a right wing nutjob, the more money he should lose.
So im fine with everything tanking he touches.
It probably wont change him because he already blamed the left, jewish people etc on all his problems...but it feels good to me to see that.

Failing business for a dude that acted like he is the best businessman ever, is something i enjoy.
Sure he is still the richest man in the world and that sucks, but i take everything i can get that angers bad people like him.
And it hurts him far more when his businesses are failing.

I guess ads like this are pretty much all that Twitter has left at this point:

Guessing someone told him no. And he is throwing a fit.

Considering how the Cybertruck is coming along, him going outside of Tesla sounds more like a godsend then a threat to the company.

X Might Be Leaking Data From Your iPhone

X, formerly known as Twitter, appears to be sharing crash reports tied to your identity, even when you have crash reports disabled in the iOS app.

Guessing someone told him no. And he is throwing a fit.

He is notoriously thin skinned and whiny when he doesn't get his way. It might be contagious as there are a few other rich types who suffer from it too.

To be fair to electric, many gas cars would struggle in this kind of weather too. But I do think electric can work in it if properly insulated and engineered.
