    Elon musk is the modern Icarus - he wears the wings someone else invented, does not know how to wield them properly, flies too close to the sun and dies crashing. Except, it’s not only wings, it’s a fucking airplane and we are all along for the ride.

      I love that you’re not giving him the benefit of a rocket in the metaphor.

    Seeing a billionaire complain about shit like this is so fucking funny.
    Bro could have fucked off with his money and done literally whatever he wanted for the rest of his life and instead gets bullied by normies and cries about it online.

    There is nothing i could do to be as pathetic and as much of a fucking loser as this guy. hahahahahaha

    The fuck it will.

    Elon might go down with it (probably not), but one shitty, Nazi-led, small time automaker going from circling the drains to out of business won’t hurt the US.

    The US will be better off once all remaining Teslas are in history museums. Preferably in the section where kids on field trips can learn about Great Mistakes in American History.

      Isn’t the implication that he’s saying Tesla will fail if America fails, not that America will fail if Tesla fails? He’s basically saying he has tied his fortunes to America’s future, not necessarily the other way around.

      Unfortunately, there are millions of dumb people who are still kissing his ass.

    Wonder why he’d be pondering America being destroyed. I thought his team was making everything better for the US.

    Most people: “If the world explodes everyone will die!”. Musk: “If the world explodes I will die!”.

    Even if you have to sink it yourself, eh Elon?

    You know drilling holes in the boat and then saying you’ll go down with the ship isn’t gonna stop the passengers from stealing your life jacket, right?

      Irrational markets are irrational.

      There is a reason people lose all there money on the stock exchange and there is reasons idiots make loads of money.

      Any expert on this stuff are probably avoiding and have been avoiding Tesla for about 10 years. But cryto Bros have been investing for 10 years and been making loads of money.

      Remember people. You don’t own the money until you cash out. $100,000 in Tesla isn’t the same as $100,000 in the bank.
