Are 'we' complicit in sponsoring Elon Musk?

It is reasonable to ask, Indeed, you should not have the need to ask. However, as much as I personally would love to see it, it’ll never happen, at least not to an extent where it would have any significance to his sales

 

I left Twitter soon after Trump won the election. I would certainly make a conscious decision not to buy anything from Musk. I don’t see the point of him outside business, other than to create havoc.

 

Everything online is complicit.

 

I'd definitely think twice before buying anything on impulse.

 

It's the scientific growth and wanting to speed up space travel that I'm behind.

Tesla's research was taken away and put in vaults.

Musk wants to try and ultimately save humanity...doesn't he?

 

NO! He really doesn't. He wants to make money.

 

How much money can you have though?

 

Musk wants everyone to look at him and bow down to him.

 

Exactly same reason why we keep buying iPhones, particular shoes/trainers & Disney+ etc. It's a sad reality of life.

 

The only benefit of boycotting Tesla and X would be for your own wellbeing and moral fibre. He wouldn’t even notice.

He could close x tomorrow, never sell another car, and the interest alone on his personal wealth as it stands would dwarf the gdp of a lot of sovereign nations.

His wealth makes him powerful. That power and his leanings and views make him very dangerous. Trump with essentially bottomless resource and less moderate.

The only saving grace being his nationality. He will fall out with Trump soon enough for the constitution not to be altered in the USA.

It’s no coincidence that he’s switched attention to U.K. affairs and all of a sudden started mentioning his British heritage - the grandmother born in the U.K.

 

He hasn't actually got any. The deal to buy Twitter is the worst deal that has ever been brokered. It's such a poisonous debt that it's more toxic to banks than the subprime mortgages of 2008. He's broke. And so you get this right-wing propaganda. The first thing you do is mobilise people who will react to crimes against children. You get a reaction from all sides with that. And then you start insinuating that it's the foreigners who are doing it, and we're already there, we're back to the 1930s when it was the Jews who were animals, and now it's anyone who isn't white.

 

I really didn't go that deep. Everyday's a school day. Apologies for my ignorance.

 

Don't apologise mate, you have an opinion, you're allowed it.

You're not, in any way, attempting to put down the opinion of others. You're just expressing yours.

I think Musk is attempting to belittle the opinion of those who don't agree with him. I'd encourage you to look at what he writes and judge that for yourself, rather than listen to what I write.

 

Is it really the worst deal? It's basically bought him the whole US government

 

Tesla is surely wildly overvalued, and by every measurement I can't see why it's where it is. But unfortunately we've got to the point where it's become one of the big stocks propping up the market. And most of that is Musk, unfortunately.

Let's just say I'm glad I'm going to be paying in to the stock market over the next couple of decades, rather than withdrawing.

 

In my opinion ( if you are even allowed one these days without getting labeled, something or other)

Musk
He's either attempting at becoming or as become the Riddler ( i cant quite figure him out and id say im not on my own on that score) however
The easiest way to describe it all would be, to say
Welcome to the mad world of Gotham city
Fiction played out In real time effecting the real lives of everyday folk

It's just a game to the those at the very top
We are but collateral damage in their wake
