Elon loves firing people, he walks around his plants and does it at random. His executives have said as much (off-the-record, of course) and he’s been caught on hot-mic bragging about it. The only thing he hates about these layoffs is that it makes him and his company look weak. A much bigger problem for Elon is that Tesla’s stock price is 1/3 the value that it was in December 2021.
As for the downfall of Tesla, this is where it starts. As soon as a company starts letting people go “to get stronger and re-focus our efforts”, it doesn’t stop. Companies like General Electric can put it off for years but the crash is coming. Elon knew last year that he was underwater and wasn’t coming back, that’s why he sold off $15 billion of his personal stock while telling his morons to keep theirs. He’s got the island fortress and offshore bank accounts all set up in case he has to run, or even just lay low for awhile. Anybody that held onto their stock when Elon started selling his is an idiot and I don’t feel sorry for them when it all crashes. It’s happening right now despite the flowery press-releases. Any CEO or executive will tell you that.
That’s crazy. As for Anne Coulter, I haven’t followed her for a few years. I just read somewhere else that her cheese has slipped off its cracker. She must have a tumor or something, I hope she’s been checked.
I looked it up on Google maps later thinking I must’ve been seeing things. Nope, Elizabeth Warren Ave. is real. I guess Fake-Indian Drive was already taken.
And their “feared” air force has been a total non-player in this war. Putin’s biggest sin is that he’s shown the world just how weak and decayed his military is. I figured that was the unforgiveable sin as a Russian premier and the Politburo would’ve taken him out by now (put him in Siberia, eventually shoot him, and tell the world that his cancer finally got him).
The clowns that got their hooks into Colorado are making “progress” in Montana. The last time I was in Butte, I saw that they had a street named after Elizabeth Warren. Damn I hate that.
And the only guy to get prosecuted was their chief pilot/salesman, and I think he wound up getting off. Apparently it’s OK to lie your butt off when you’re a salesman making a sale!
Oh, you want my money? Your org shouldn’t have pulled my two posts in General/Chat about the end of Hyperloop. It wasn’t some e-mail or blog post, it was a legit story in Bloomberg business. (Meanwhile, idiotic stories about cold-fusion abound here.) You do realize that one of your mods is an Elon Musk fanboi, right? Then there was that time in 2013 when everybody was sneering and jeering about DoD civilians being furloughed, like they somehow magically know what it takes to run a weapon system.
It’s the golden rule, don’t treat me like crap and then ask me to do something for you.
