He certainly doesn't seem to treat his employees any better than Bezos. :(
 
Wow, Tesla is down 14% so far today!! Down to $105. (Nasdaq is down 1.4%)
 
The Verge - Twitter says it will allow more political ads as it tries to claw back revenue
Exactly what will change under the new policies outside of what’s mentioned in a tweet is unclear. The company is also ‘relaxing’ its policies for ‘cause-based’ ads in the US.

Zoe Schiffer, Platformer: "NEW: Behnam Rezaei, Twitter’s head of product and engineering, and one of the last non-Elon Musk appointed leaders at the company, just resigned"

More political ads to add to the fire? That should be fun.
 
Been seeing performance problems on Twitter (not embeds) tonight again. Had to reload a bunch of tweets >3 times to get it to display.

Well, if Elon says McCarthy is great he must be, right? :rolleyes:
 
^I saw it last month on the hacker forum that rhymes with ‘Teach’ but as I had no way of verifying it I didn’t post it. The hacker was demanding money from Musk and threatening to release more beyond the samples if not paid.

Gizmodo - Tesla Brings Back 'Boring' Round Steering Wheel Elon Nixed
The Tesla CEO favored a yoke [rectangular] steering wheel, similar to those used in race cars or planes, and refused to offer buyers a round wheel option back in 2021.

Poor build quality is how Tesla has maintained their higher margins on every car sold versus the competition. People pay all that money for crap that was a status symbol.

And yet there was a Tesla driven by an attempted suicide off a cliff and all four passengers survived. The cars can't be that bad, right....?

Just pray it doesn't burst into flame. Or you are in a situation where you have to get OUT of the car.
 
I would say his buying Twitter was a major influence on Tesla stock tanking. Even without the Twitter purchase though, Elon's behavior would have harmed the stock.

Basically what I am getting at is Musk is causing Tesla stock to tank.
 
Geez.... shouldn't someone be getting arrested for that?
