    It’s a single car company. World economy doesn’t depend on Tesla’s success. Not even the American economy. If Tesla dies, it’s just a canary in the coalmine for much, much bigger economic problems. Like, you know, how they put dipshits in the White House, or something. So it’s kind of interesting that Elon has a moment of lucidity here, because no one around him seems to realise how screwed they are.

    “If I drive us all off a cliff, I won’t be using my eject button”

    Even in his expressed delusions, he continues lying to everyone else

    Just gotta love the sudden change in demeanor in the pictures of articles regarding him.

    Destroying the country? Laughs and jumps. Losing everything he “worked” for? Serious face.

    Bye Elon get out of here.

        There’s the guy who urges the captain to increase the ship’s speed, so they can arrive a day early and impress everyone that the “unsinkable” ship is also super fast. And then sneaks his way onto a lifeboat at the end, when they’re only supposed to be taking women and children. Arguably a parallel to Musk in that he’s partly responsible for the sinking of the ship.

        Much more prominent is Rose’s (Kate Winslet) rich scumbag fiance who refers to Jack (Leo DiCaprio) as a “gutter rat”, responds to “half the people on this ship are going to die” with “not the better half”, tries to bribe with cash one of the men loading boats in order to secure himself a slot, and ultimately manages to get on a boat by picking up a random crying child and claiming it as his own. Much more like Musk himself, but not really a parallel in having resposibility for the ship sinking.

    It’s because the company is fully subsidized by carbon credits and government funding. The crazy brand valuation is based on fully autonomous driving and person less cabs which will never happen at Tesla.

    I was living under the idea that the Load bearing snake oil salesman of the American Economy was Sam Altman.

        He’s scared to take a shit without an armed guard. Aparently, conveying this information counts as inciting violence on reddit. I just publically imagined having to stand there and listen to that flabby windbag take a shit and declared he couldn’t pay me enough. He thinks everyone else is as greedy as he is, and in his shitty vampire circle, he’s pretty much right. You couldn’t pay me enough to kiss that ass. My self respect is not up for sale

          I would genuinely rather live under an overpass than have such a horrible job as having to work directly for that monster.

          Also, it makes sense he would have such a fear of the bathroom; rats, snakes, specialized robots, and tentacles (in Futurama) can all make their way up into a toilet through the sewer system.

          Edit: I just realized elon’s ketamine addled brain might genuinely worry that the sewer mutants from Futurama might pull him down there.
