If the news could just never pay any attention to that little freak again all would be well in the world. I'd also love it if Lemmy could stop posting stuff about him!
Hit him right in the wallet. He keeps it in his heart.
Yeah, this fucks him personally, as so much of his wealth is tied up in Tesla shares. Tanking Tesla directly tanks Elons wealth.
He cannot sell large tracts of shares without further depressing share price and his usual trick of promising random bullshit like self driving taxis or cars that deliver themselves does not work anymore to boost share price before he sells some off.
Maybe he'll hit that threshold, and his kids he never sees will get a ton of money. Wouldn't that be something
..it brings on many changes...
these contrived reports of him quitting politics or being depressed to try to get some sympathy and stop the stock selling are pathetic. He's never cared about anyone else, even his own children, and he still absolutely does not. He's a spoiled psycopath who thinks he can manipulate people.
This.
I wonder how many people will have to die for Elon's self driving taxi Hubris in Austin for Texas to pull authorization. As I understand it, the Texas state government hates the City and Its residents. I expect it to be atleast a 9/11s worth.
Good for him!
Of course he is. His stocks are extremely overvalued and he has leveraged them to hell and back.
Maybe he should kill himself.
Say what you want about Hitler, but he killed Hitler.
Or did he?
Good. He's actively making the world a worse place for everyone else. He should feel bad.
There's not really any news in that article.
Notably, Musk said he would be stepping back from DOGE after May but didn’t go into any detail about what that would mean. Even though he said he would be easing up on his involvement, the billionaire said that he would remain in the government through President Trump’s entire term,
This is meaningless.
And do you know how to know it is meaningless... it starts with "musk said". Everything after that is worthless.
Even the word "notably" before that is useless. Notably something un-notable occurred. Great, thanks.
stepping back from DOGE after May
Appointed temporary government employee which means he only could work until June without congressional approval. Set this up from the start to take heat off of Trump and allow Trump to seem reasonable compared to Musk when Trump 'fires' him in June.
I'm aware of that, but obviously the concept of "work" doesn't apply to Musk as it does to government employees generally.
He will have the same influence and whatever level of involvement he wants regardless of whether he's a temporary government employee, a consultant, or just a contact.

Hey Elon, keep yourself safe!
Or you know, don't.
Well, that really is uplifting news. For me that is, not for that fuckhead.
He’s leaving Trumps team to spend more time at Tesla. The one thing that would benefit Tesla is him spending less time there.
The board should have replaced him a long time ago
nice!
"Oh no! The consequences of my actions!"
Nah fuck this guy. We need to make Nazis unforgivable again. None of this halfway bullshit or trying to see their side of the story.
He will never feel any external consequences.
Best we can hope for is a bout of depression that'll make him do something we all won't regret.
I want him to lose it so badly that he starts blaming this administration for everything that happened to him and starts going off against them. That'd be hilarious.
It's a start but we can do better, guys
Building a business and getting involved in politics is financial suicide 99% of the time. It's one thing to work behind the scenes but to be the poster boy is just reckless. It is a tragic situation because Tesla was the only EV company in competition with the Chinese and now the Chinese will dominate global EV sales.
Oh no, please don't hang yourself Mr Elmo, that would be such a waste of good rope.
Not if we reuse it.

extremely
yet, not enough, if his troglodyte head still has the same amount of stupid holes.
Can’t read the article due to being at work but the title makes me smile. His actions actually have consequences. However, I’m curious whether it actually ‘hits’ his wealth.
Hope he fucking dies.
Wow. I mean, just wow...my new socks are really soft and cushy.
Also, I agree.
Nothing beats a fresh sock.
Refreshing news!
You are a piece of shit and now everyone in the entire world knows it. There's no coming back.
With all that money and influence you had the chance to make a real difference but instead you decided to be a greedy disgusting fuck.
No one gives a shit about you. Go to Mars and live out your pathetic existence.
Yeah there's really no coming back from this. He could go to work at Testa 14 days per week and it wouldn't make any difference. That brand is toast.
