That's like saying since aqualini owns the Canucks "If you dont like something about the team then either buy it from him or shut up." Hows that complaining about Aquilini working for us? You think he is going to sell the team anytime soon or not get his grubby mitts involved in decisions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do what ever I wanted on there too for that price tag. If people dont like it, make 45 billion dollars and buy it back. Agree,is the same situation as before he bought it. Both him and the ones who owned it before can do almost what they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has an estimated IQ of 155 (Einstein was estimated to be around 160), specializes in rocket science, and mainstreamed the electric car. Yet everyone with a computer thinks they know more than him, he definitely has a lack of social skills and probably limited in the way of a filter but he is not a global terrorist and hate monger. You mean he specializes in hiring real rocket scientists with government funding. He's only a genius in marketing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Musk had used his brains he would have bought it around those numbers. It’s only that he messed up that made him pay 45B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not selling it but if he wants to pledge it for margin loans firms will mark it at $10-15 Billion tops. He's pledged his Tesla stock for margin loans and it's at a new 2 year low. He's repeatedly being forced to liquidate his Tesla stock to satisfy margin requirements. In other words "he done f***ed up". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nux_win Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I hope Musk goes broke and as quickly as possible. I used to actually like the guy but somewhere along the line he lost the plot. Just because he's a workaholic doesn't mean that he has the right to insist that his employees are too. Not everybody puts money ahead of absolutely everything else. As it turns out he's just another evil billionaire. Is it even possible to become a billionaire without questionable ethics? I used to think that Musk was an exception but no longer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 What's really kind of sad is that yesterday the biggest news effecting mankind and our future survival on this planet came out. For the first time scientists have created a net gain in energy from nuclear fusion. There's practically no one discussing it in the science thread. Yet here we all are (myself included) bloviating about the actions of an attention whore who clearly seems to be a couple sandwiches shy of a picnic. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
