    Elon predicted what would happen to him when he stopped supporting Democrats. That's all it took.

    Imagine how unforgivable it was for Democrats when the world's smartest man decided to oppose there corrupt plan to "radically transform America" and turn it into a "s___hole country" like the UK and other European states.

    An advocate of "replacement theory" is seeing progressives not buy his cars? Breaks my heart.

    Democrats wanted to steal our democracy. Trump and Elon are trying to save our democracy, that's why they are hated.

    Peter Thiel didn't want to believe it but eventually he realized Elon was right:

    Big, Giant . . . . They all are. MAGA is the epitome of "can dish it out (poorly), but can't take it".

    Elon Musk took the pre-1995 SAT and scored 670 verbal and 730 math.

    Today the verbal test is about 90 points easier and the math test is about 10 points easier

    Elon's 1400 score would be about 1500 today. That score converts to an IQ of 145. Based on Elon's business accomplishments that score seems a bit low to me.

    Worth a quarter-tril with middling smarts.

    Guess I chose the wrong line of work.

    Like Trump, his parents are loaded. It’s easy to become a multi billionaire when you start as a billionaire….

    I’m not a huge fan of Musk, but this sounds like a trope.

    For some people, when they try to spell "truth" it comes out as "trope". Interesting.

    Musk's parents were not worth a billion dollars, but they apparently were worth upwards of $20 million. His mother was a well-known author and model. Musk was a pauper compared to what Trump started out with, but he probably didn't have to work odd jobs to pay for college.

    Musk pulls a fast one. Tesla has allegedly figured out how to void people's warrantees faster by having the odometer read more miles than actually driven. This is after Tesla modified the electric charge gauge to indicate higher range in the first half of the battery charge, and then rapidly ramp down the remaining charge in the second half of battery usage, to give the illusion that the car had more range than it actually did. Boy genius seems to be a little light on ethics. Nice.

    Lawsuit claims Tesla deliberately inflated odometer readings in its cars

    I’m surprised their customer service isn’t down to just auto responding with a poop emoji at this point.

    Musk apparently tried to pay off one of his baby-mommas, a conservative influencer, but only if she agreed to produce nine more children with him. For some reason, she decided that she was not quite THAT conservative. If she could only produce eight more kids, she would not receive the payout. Musk seems to be a very classy and dignified man-whore.
