  1. The only reason Musk bought Twitter to artificially pump Tesla stock. That’s been his scheme from the beginning. Promise a tech revolution, show a prototype, get investors, delay the unveiling, then come up with another project to distract when the previous one fails.

    He repeatedly lied on earning statements and he never got in trouble because despite what everyone thinks he is THE government guy. You can’t be in bed with the Chinese and US governments and call yourself a freedom fighter.
