Except for the fact that he is single handedly responsible for a massive decrease in teslas value. I would not bet on anything he touches because even if he were loved inside the US, he is now despised everywhere else. Tesla was built on left wing progressive ideals and so was spacex, and solarcity, etc etc. Musks turn to the right betrays all of those who liked his companies for ideological reasons. I don't expect tesla stock to recover any time soon.

This.

Not sure how he imagined a hard pivot from the left to the right was going to pan out.

Early on I was a huge fan and kept telling others he wasn't like the other CEOs, it wasn't about the money. It became obvious a couple years ago I was horribly wrong. The worst part is some of the people who distrusted him before now are all in.

These people are not charismatic at all, I don't get how they keep fooling people.

He's been a known union buster for a long time tho

Yeah at that point I was still believing his BS about how it wouldn't be good for the employees or the company. I just got hopped up on someone finally helping stop climate change in a meaningful way.

Simpler times...
