Tesla sales are down 20%, the Cybertruck is a flop of unprecedented proportions, Starship keeps failing to make orbit while leaking fuel into its engine bay, X is worth a fraction of what Musk bought Twitter for, XAI has to pay Telegram to become the first adopter of Grok, Elon does nothing but miss

The dude was never great at business, but he has been washed for a solid decade now.
Starlink could be but he’s ruining that too.

I'm saying this iteration of the Starship is a complete turkey - I've been saying loudly iit might never work.
The F9 is still the best launcher in the world right now.
No other launch company comes remotely close.
Thanks, Obama.

I don't think he's gonna sell very many around here anyway.
Oh well.🤷♀️
Afaict half the reason Starship still exists is to keep that guy from messing with the real stuff
This has been around awhile & is still totally relevant:

His plans for PayPal was to be X: The Everything App.
If that happened it would be an exciting year or two. (But they're low enough that it probably wouldn't be too long lasting.)

Starship
blows up?
Mighty
expensive
fireworks.
He can sell to China or train his AI.
Whatever mistakes he's making, he's still getting insanely rich and his company is in no jeopardy at this point
And this is despite a concentrated boycott effort and the horrible press he's brought on the company
But let us remember his extraordinary accomplishments in technology, even if he simply improved original ideas!
He revolutionized the automobile f. ex.
Elon had a vision and his legacy will be remembered!
He was dumb when he made the heil hitler salute but from what I discovered when communicating with him was not racial hate but an immature adult!
When will this meme stock bubble finally burst?

Weird world in which we live in
also let’s not forget the Boring Company, much as Elon would like us to
and the disastrous solar panel company
He has made every business he's a part of worse or has been a scam from the very beginning. But he has enough money that he can buy government contracts or get bailed out by the Saudis.
