I will say this about Elon Musk. He built a new billion dollar car factory in Ca., not in Mexico like Ford, or Japan, like Chrysler, or wherever GM went, that didn’t shift to more lucrative government contracts. Also he hired engineers, obviously competent, instead of relying on the FAA to approve anything he produced. There, I’ve said it.
Unlike the totally conned MAGA hats he knows there are very few honest politicians on the red side. Remember, the definition of an Honest Politician is one who stays bought.
Hahah, there may be a bit of truth in this. In any case it is funny and the expression on elephant in the last panel is hilarious. In any case, Elon has definitely shaken up the industry. This latest is just the aftermath of Musk doing his due diligence and makes sense. He got wind that an unknown number of subscribers were actually fake ‘robo’ accounts which, if true, would make Twitter less valuable than it actually is and his initial offer overpriced. Thing is, if the Twitter board had accepted Elon’s initial offer, they and the stockholders would have made out like bandits. The other side of that is if he had taken ownership of Twitter and later found out there were a lot of bogus accounts, Musk could have sued the board for fraud and some of them might have wound up with prison time. That still might happen.

Despite all his business successes and wealth, Elon Musk IS a yo-yo.

The top ten billionaires saw their wealth double during the pandemic. How did the rest of us do?

Hey the man is a brilliant business man, and when he finds flaws in a product he is interested in, he points it out and tries for a better deal.

Elon is fighting off his sexual harassment accusers while Tesla stock is falling and Musk might not get twitter.

It was kind of amusing to watch electric cars drop off the Right Wing Media attack list for the weeks that Musk was gonna buy twitter.
But now, “We have always been at war with electric cars.”
