At this point, either he went insane, or he is just making bad decision on purpose to destroy the company out of spite
Come on, read his statements and actions of the past, say, 5 years. The sanity ship sailed ages ago.
It was never in harbor to begin with.
Given the fact that all of the ultra wealthy are by default already batshit insane id argue its more that his facade started cracking and is finally breaking down.
Never attribute a bad action to malice when it can be just stupidity.jpg
I mean the guy clearly isn't that smart but have "managed" car company, rocket company, so why not media company, same probably right?!!
He's not actually stupid. He learned orbital mechanics just to run SpaceX, for example.
You can be smart about some things and stupid about others.
This is fair.
I learned the basics of orbital mechanics to play ksp. It took about 2 hours. This is not an achievement.
So go build a rocket to Mars if you know so much about it in so little time. Prove Elon is a flake in that respect.
I'm sorry, what?
