So his social media site disappeared and so did he.
Can’t wait for that to happen Musk.

I’m actually fond of him.
The book on Elon Musk by Ashlee Vance is a staple recurrent read to me (though I also read books on Tim Cook, Satya Nadella, Steve Jobs, et al).
He may do things and make decisions in weird ways, but the Starlink project and the SpaceX project are very forward looking and realistic.
Never have I seen rockets landing back in the upright position, to be reused in future flights. And those Tesla cars are not too bad as well. There’s one orbiting the earth as we speak.
True that it does take a special team of individuals from electric car engineers to rocket scientists to realise these farfetched projects, but right now I can’t think of another person who is that out-of-the-box enough to manage and fund a team into the impossible and coming out possible.
He could have gone the Richard Branson route and provide high speed trains and planes and zero-gravity ones with all that money he started with. But instead he went for innovations that are too ahead of their time that needs more convincing.

Give your personal details to Saudi Arabia or twitter becomes unusable.
I bet the free speech lot won’t like this.

Tesla’s capitalisation is still twice as high as General Motors, Volkswagen and Toyota combined with just 10% of their combined profits and a fraction of their sales so I’ll stick with my opinion that it’s still way overpriced and has a long way to drop, especially as all of those manufacturers along with every other car manufacturer in the world are investing heavily in EVs meaning Tesla’s market leading position in EVs will be difficult to sustain. I reckon Tesla is the motoring equivalent of the dotcom bubble from 20 years ago.
And their largest shareholder and CEO is a twat.

Something will come along and replace twitter
Something will come along and replace Tesla
Then we will be rid of him

Feel sorry for the Devil really, he's getting him some point with no way to get rid.

Genuine answer: read the thread.
He's been a **** for a while, just more people are finally coming to that realisation everytime he opens his mouth.

The first clue for me was a couple of years ago when he accused the rescuer of the Thai boys from a cave of being a pedo because his offer of help was turned down. Nothing he has said or done since has changed my opinion and plenty of things have reinforced it, most recently propagating conspiracy shite about Paul Pelosi.
Jealousy?
Making electric cars?
Having a space program?
Or is it really the fact he has bought twitter and dared to decide what sort of moderation it will have under his ownership that has suddenly triggered this hatred?
