2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

Elon is destroying himself. Bad investment on Twitter and dumb political antics have made me no longer a potential buyer for a Tesla. I can't be alone in this.

Unfortunately it doesn't matter. With that kind of wealth he could (and largely has) fuck up literally everything he touches and he'll never not have billions. The most effect he'll experience is not being the richest on the planet.

If it doesn't matter to him, then why is he still trying way too hard?

Billionaires always want more, and Elon will never have a true friend or experience real love. His current stage of trying to get something real is to make stupid jokes and put on a cool guy persona. Go watch the interview where he told his advertisers to fuck off. He immediately scans the crowd to see how his "too cool for you" declaration landed.

He's just a sad sack piece of shit but unfortunately because we still haven't made being a billionaire illegal we all have to put up with his influence over certain aspects of the world.

Completely agree. Making him less of a money maker is the best path forward for all of us. A Rivian will probably be my next ride. Really liking the look, performance and range of the R1S!
