@Aicila I think it's more that he really believes he's an epochal genius and that anything he does will turn to gold.
@RationalLeft delusion is a real thing.
@RationalLeft That’s my fault. I nixed the planned Tesla in favor of this Ford Mustang Mach-E GT. See ya in the rear view mirror, Eeeelon!!
@cassandra17lina A lot of truth in that, actually. Now that there are non-Tesla EV competitors and Musk is alienating his core consumer base, people don't have to stick with him. And why would they?
@RationalLeft I strongly suspect that most Tesla buyers were rather left-leaning. #musk buyout of The Bird and his coming out as a MAGA oligarch probably convinced quite a lot of buyers to look elsewhere.
@Bald_Guy_With_Bike No question about it. Maggots don't buy EVs, and they won't start just because Musk is pissing off the libs.
@RationalLeft If Tesla goes out of business what happens to the people that bought Teslas? Car maintenance, etc.
Can anyone other than Tesla fix a Tesla?
@coolserenity An interesting question. AFAIK, all of Tesla's systems are proprietary.
I'd imagine another company would buy the rights so they could do the maintenance.

"Right here in Fremont City.
Trouble with a capital "T"
And that rhymes with "P" and that stands for TOOL!"
@RationalLeft Did Musk just wake up one day and say, how many lives can I destroy in 6 months? This is nutty on the outside.
