While Elon indulges in political theater and self-aggrandizing quips, Tesla is experiencing an unprecedented slump in both sales and stock value.

    Dressed in sunglasses, a gold chain, and a t-shirt proclaiming, “I’m not procrastinating, I’m doing side quests,” he paraded on stage.

    What’s the side quest for Elon; being on stage for the republicans or trying to get to Mars?

    Behaving like a shithead has consequences. Hanging out with corrupt shitheads has consequences.

    Welcome to the real world Elon. Now cry me a river and get the fuck over it.

      The dumbest part is, he absolutely could have gotten involved in politics and still been fine. Zuckerberg and Bezos have both publicly supported fascism and not seen nearly as much backlash. All Musk had to avoid was making two brazen Nazi salutes on national television and then becoming the face of the most moronic, questionably legal, regularly reversed (by both the courts and DOGE itself) funding cuts in the history of our nation.

      But billionaires are actually narcissistic and lucky, not smart and hardworking, so here we are. The richest man in the world, probably high most of the time, crying on TV. If someone had written a novel with this plot 20 years ago I would’ve dismissed it as too stupid.

        becoming the face of the most

        Exactly why he’s doing it. The details matters less to him than beating other billionaires you mentioned at something, even if that something is abhorrent.
