      The catch is that Tesla has a bunch of problems that might cause the company to be in serious trouble soon, and if musk leaves before the company starts tanking then we’ll have to hear endless bullshit from people about how musk was so great that he single handedly was what kept the company going.

        It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make it that means musk is given a “fuck off” instead of 56 billions.

        His other ventures will show he’s not the Tony Stark level genius some thought years ago, so it’s a temporary problem anyway.

          If the company really tanks even after saving 56 billion dollars that they could spend on literally anything else to improve their products, maybe they shouldn’t be a company anymore.

      You get permabanned from that one right wing hellhole social media network, whatever they call it nowadays

      Edit: was it 3? No, maybe Y? S? I swear it had something to do with a Tesla model

        I have been so fucking disappointed since I learned their naming scheme for car models. It’s so intensely sophomoric.

          “Their”? No, it’s literally just Elon forcing his childish sense of humor on the world.

          I am the tiniest bit less annoyed since the Y was announced. For a while I thought he literally just thought the word “sex” was funny or something.

          Honestly. the naming scheme is not a problem for me. What is a problem is that they took away the option to have Tesla cars make fart noises to warn pedestrians that the otherwise quite quiet cars are coming.

        When I was using that failed platform Reddit, I got permabanned from a Elon Musk sub because the mods read some anti-Musk comments I made IN OTHER SUBS. Talk about a clusterfuck. Hey hey ho ho, Phony Starck has got to go!!!

          nearly all my bans when I was on reddit were from posts on other subs on reddit. Libertarian banned me for a post in antiwork I think, lol.
