You're talking easily falsifiable bullshit mixed with truth. Most importantly for this thread, Tesla has only a small amount of nonvoting stock, in the form of the standard Preferred vs Common split where the former lacks voting rights but has priority in dividends (if any) and bankruptcy and...

Tesla stock has been divorced from anything approaching reason for years. Musk has even said this at least once, and likely only kept from constantly saying it by fear of shareholder lawsuits. That Tesla is the financially healthiest car manufacturer in america doesn't matter when its market...

Speaking of which, recent poll says among likely purchasers of EVs, 35% are more likely to purchase Tesla because of Musk's recent actions while only 27% are less likely. Needless to say, this is despite likely purchasers of EVs not being evenly distributed among the political spectrum by any...

Musk literally has a company for that: Boring Company. Probably the least of Musk's corps though. Ultimately the idea of achieving a middle ground between mass transit and road transport though automated cars in cheap tunnels might be too niche to have much impact.

At least more on topic than half this thread: The Ars article on how the next Starship test flight seems likely NET 11/13 The comments section is hilarious, around half are trannies and other leftists raging about Musk acquiring Twitter. For that fraction of the right that has offloaded their...

At least two separate groups of people at Twitter. First in Trust and Safety, then Brand Safety launched their own rebellion after Musk stepped in to unban. The VPs of both have been canned, as have an unspecified number of their underlings. A bigger deal I think was that they were trying to...

You guys know Gwynne Shotwell is affiliated with the WEF too right? And she brutally crushed the last woke uprising at SpaceX and was actually the one to demand SpaceX stop directly supporting Ukraine in combat (which Musk intentionally took the heat for so the Left can keep telling themselves...

Disputes happen all the time against senior management for not representing the interests of the corporation, attempting to reverse actions or pass on costs. Several against Elon Musk were hugely publicized by the media as a part of their hate train, so it's pretty hilarious for you to still...

Ah, the problem seems to be your chatbot level understanding of the relevant issues. The question of who the lawyers actually served as their client is an entirely legitimate question as to determine who ought to pay for their services. Lawyers that don't do their job for their actual clients...

No, I said the Left certainly thinks that. I haven't offered my opinion on the virtue of unilateral disarmament in the context of lawfare, merely on the hypocrisy of any Leftist going on about it. Other people have offered opinions on retaliatory lawfare, but you should probably also try to...

Yeah no. Disputing contract termination clauses, which is what all the other examples are, is extremely common. You care about them solely because of leftist media focus, same way leftists go on and on about every Tesla crash. And my entire point about the lawyers was on who exactly was their...

And why are you going on that, when this line of conversation is specifically on those hired for the legal battle?

He said he would step down as soon as he found a satisfactory replacement . . . which is exactly what he had said even before the takeover went through.

Seems to me that fighting against a takeover was not in service to Twitter the corporation but rather to the board and management personally. Especially if, as everyone says, Musk was taken for a huge ride, and his offer was vastly better than deserved.

The moment the U.S. goes to war next and OSINT types start tracking their movements, it would have been banned anyway. There's no way to ban doxxing only of "good guys" except in the eyes of tyrants that want to control that definition.

Sweeney wasn't a specifically SJW thing, though he is of course running that way currently for support. He had been tweeting Elon's personal location long before the Twitter buyout. Musk tried to pay him to stop but ended negotiations when Sweeney tried to extort millions. I hope a direct...

Unfortunately, praising nazis is actually illegal in big chunks of Europe while praising commies isn't, and Musk can't afford to wage war on the EU yet. At least until the EU openly declares war on him instead of just threatening. Finding some excuse to ban Kanye that isn't explicitly the nazi...

Heinleinian Libertarian ubermensch is as American as it gets. Lol at the idea that a family associated with the apartheid era white opposition would ever be surprised at government restraint, either before or after ANP rule. That's all pure American. Elon Musk is, in the irony of ironies, the...

NYT associated news site Semafor goes for a hatchetjob, claims that Musk offered special buy in deal for Twitter to Sam Bankman-Fried, the now disgraced crypto former billionaire who was second only to Soros as a Dem donor. Immediately backfires as it turns out that (1) all existing twitter...
