On principal, I hope it crashes and burns and ruins him. And I know this will cause a lot of people to suffer some. I am so sorry for that. But these piss ant billionaires need to start facing real consequences when they behave so abhorrently. I hope all of his ventures fail similarly. Fuck him and his petulant behavior forever.

Billionares have a support system of other billionares giving one another handsies. I'm sure if Musk was in danger of feeling pain someone like Thiel or Bezos would step up to give him a hand perhaps without interest even.

I agree "fuck him", but sadly I doubt he'll suffer much of a fallout of this.

That said I am riding the sweet wave of schadenfreude and do hope that twitter crashes and burns (and that everyone who works there gets severance)

Agreed. It is great watching him eat the shit sandwich he has made for himself.

Wow. The guy who started sending more rockets to space than NASA and almost single-handedly made electric cars cool is suddenly the most evil man alive.

Yikes.

We had electric cars before Tesla and they worked just fine. With better build quality too.

The ends don’t justify the means. And his ends are dubious at best. He didn’t singlehandedly do anything. The successes of SpaceX and Tesla are mostly do to the hard work of thousands of workers.

Who gathered, organized, and aligned these thousands of workers? Is him being chief of breakthrough innovations merely a coincidence?

Single-handedly except for, ya know, all the people that actually designed and built the cars at Tesla
