I've said this before, but Musk just never grew beyond adolescence. [Tesla models S3XY! 42069 amirite! Ligma! Tesla fart noises! hahahahaha!] Which is a real problem because he was raised as a socially-ignorant rich white boy in full-apartheid South Africa.
I dunno, S3XY is pretty fun and I could forgive all that cringy stuff if he wasn't such a fuckin narcissistic loser.
It's only S3XY because Ford wouldn't let him make a Model E. It was going to be the far less creative SEXY originally. Meh.
There is a lot to hate in that pic.
Crazy how coke and aderall make these 2 morons believe they should get to decide what direction the planet spin.
Why people worship idiots born in wealth will always be beyond me. If any of you ever suffered imposter symdrome, think of this picture in the thumbnail.
And ketamine. Don't forget the ketamine.
Because Elon Musk is just Donald Trump with business sense. I get roasted every time I say this, but I've never been more sure of anything in my life.
Lol, Musk has had his bad ideas shot down since he tried to rename PayPal to "X". He was just lucky enough to buy valuable companies and have capable people stop him from ruining them with his terrible ideas.
I honestly think if you gave a random person a billion dollars and told them to buy a company to run they could do just as well as Musk
Not roasting, but don't really agree. I mean, look at what's left of twitter. He was never directly controlling Tesla and certainly not SpaceX, just had the money, practiced bullshit artistry, and made specific orders if it suited him.
I can almost certainly thank him for the ability to make my car fart from my phone, but that's about it.*
*Disclaimer: Comment author (hereby "jerkface") fully acknowledges jerkface has no insider experience in the Tesla product pipeline, and jerkface carries hopeful bias in that Musk has very little to do with the success of Tesla in order to assuage jerkface's emotional guilt for loving the absolute shit out of jerkface's Model 3 Performance because it's awesome.
Edit-crap, no superscript with ^ I guess.
"Twitter went to court because it wanted to tell Trump about the request despite the court-ordered secrecy."
Musk told him. I guarantee it.
