Here are thoughts from my personal experience. Silicon Valley has more grifters than legit tech inventors. Musk is the top of that heap of reprobates, carnival barkers, and miscreants who pose as visionaries. They trade on the fear of missing out that grips VCs and investors. They trade on creating a mystique about themselves as mavericks and creators of disruptive technologies.
My take on all this: Tesla is no longer “the next best thing.” If you doubt that, read Will Lockett’s postings on Medium. Look at how Tesla is losing ground to global competitors. Also recognize that Tesla’s valuation is based largely on hype generated by Musk about its AI play, which is 90% marketing and 10% reality, like virtually all the current AI investment options coming from the Valley.
Keep your hand on your wallet when Elon is in the room and ask for peer-reviewed proof of his claims. And don’t fall for that age old BS of “I can’t show you the proof because I can’t do so without giving away intellectual property/trade secrets or tipping off my competitors.”
Remember what PT Barnum, a famous mid 19th century circus owner and showman supposedly said, “There’s a sucker born every minute.” Musk is counting on everyone being a sucker or at least unable to escape from his powers of persuasion. Why do you think he turned Twitter into X and uses it as a powerful megaphone, just as carnival barkers have done for hundreds of years to fill the circus tents that feature exciting illusions?
Of course! The guy is a professional criminal as are most of this regime’s members . They could give a shit about the people in this country as long as they continue to make cash , who cares. And look there is no one to stop them so why the hell not 😡
He’s a conman and a thief, just like Trump. His crimes need to be prosecuted and his government contracts terminated.
Of course they did!! Grift is the only game going now!
I’m no expert but IMHO the actions seemed planned, timed for maximum benefit for Musk.
