    He’s literally his own worst enemy. If he’d just shut the fuck up and work - but no. He’s used Tesla stock to fund his idiotic twitter shit. Boring company is a dead end. Cybertruck has already seen two recalls and is trickling out to confirmed fanboys only. My only hope is that he doesn’t fuck up spacex. Apparently they have a whole ‘elon management’ team and it’s working.

      The problem is that a large part of his success is loudly creating his “genius” persona that brings in investors.

      But when that persona went full right-wing conservative racist troll, that may have won him some supporters but lost many others.

        Any success behind him has just purely been because he’s a walking money bag, otherwise he just seems like a hindrance.

        The system sure works /s

      Yes I think the government is one of the ‘big sponsors’ for him. Even if he dislikes the government 🙄.

      I imagine it’s deeeefinitely in their best interests to ‘manage Elon’.

      “Sorry Elon we wanted to introduce you to the hardworking rocket scientists, but they hate you and would rather jump off a bridge than be in a room with you. Soooo, we made some nice snacks and joints, and there’s a hot tub you can use too. Doesn’t that sound nicer than belittling people and causing chaos? Yeah? Good? Good. Aww ok you want Ice cream too. Thats ok, just stay away from Mission Control sweety.”
