Imagine taking your most strategic asset, and an industry leading product, then doing this to it.
Musk is this generation’s Howard Hughes. He was always eccentric and weird, but he’s aggressively sliding into his compulsions like Hughes did.
Hughes ended up locked away, in a dark penthouse, getting yearly fingernail cuts, with a collection of urine filled bottles.
So you’re saying there’s a chance he’s just gonna disappear one day. DON’T YOU TOY WITH MY EMOTIONS IF YOU DON’T REALLY MEAN IT!!
I thought Bezos was the piss bottle guy.
Bezos distributes them to employees, but I'm not aware of him using them himself
Hughes was the OG rich pee bottle guy.
He’s another Trump. Musk may have money but he has no idea how to spend it.
Just like trumps ventures they all failed because he’s a shmuck with zero business clue.
Inherited mommy and daddy’s money but pisses it all away on shit ideas and terrible execution.
Soon we’ll hear musk is broke because he spent it all on shit he can’t handle.
He seems to have gotten a lot worse lately, obviously he's always been a jackass and narcissistic. But up until recently most of his business decisions have been mostly rational. From the accounts I've read he has gotten rid of most of if not all of his competent advisors and has been doing a lot more drugs. I think what we are seeing here is an extended manic state, brought on by a lack of stability/stress, some underlying psychological issues, and a whole bunch of drugs.
Oh and just in case people think I'm defending him. I hate that fucker. I just think it is much more complicated than simple incompetency.
I hope his drug addictions bring him a lot of pain and anguish.
Fuck that clown.
He is broke. He spent his money on a website, immediately crash and burned it, and interestingly wants the purchase value back as pay from Tesla's board.
This shit don't pay for itself
I said somewhere that I believe Tesla as a csr manufacturer is fucked but they light pivot into being a charging company and battery provider, it seems big brain musket is hellbent on ruining the good parts of his company too
Dude could’ve owned America’s next generation energy infrastructure if he played his cards right.
Provided to him on a silver fucking platter… I mean, it’s astonishing how incompetent he is/was/or is becoming. Holy shit.
i believe nowadays the only thing motivating musk that comes on a silver platter is a pile of coke
e: wtf my grammar had a stroke
Nah, Musk is an incompetent idiot who got incredibly lucky and managed to fail upwards. He's not eccentric, he's just an asshole
