Elon Musk is remarkably perceptive! The more I learn about him, the more respect I develop.
Unlike much of the corporate community, who (hopefully), are more intelligent than they appear to be, Musk has no fear in expressing what he believes to be true, and he’s almost always right.
Musk is one who sees the roots of things, disregarding the windstorms of opinion and the sales pitches of the media (propaganda) and government. While Musk profits from the vaccine machines Tesla makes for CureVac, he also recognizes the nature of the COVID-19 scamdemic.
He didn’t stumble onto this skepticism accidentally, he took 4 COVID tests on the same day and saw what was really going on. He commented, “Something extremely bogus is going on. Was tested for Covid four times today. Two tests came back negative, two came back positive. Same machine, same test, same nurse.”
A follower on Twitter commented that “revenues are likely not bogus…” to which Musk responded, “exactly.” Indeed, money to be made and governmental control to be increased! Musk has been taking some heat for calling Bill Gates “a stupid person,” and “a knucklehead.”
Personally, I think Musk was being far too kind.
Of course, the propaganda goes into high gear to refute Musk’s irrefutable logic. Forbes comes out with, “Elon Musk’s False COVID predictions: A Timeline,” which contained no actual truth and was irrelevant in some cases, “As worldwide Covid-19 cases topped 100,000 and deaths exceeded 3,000, Musk tweeted, “the coronavirus panic is dumb.” Which it is. A panic over a typical season of flu fatalities, in this case being less serious than some in the past, .2% fatality rate, going down to almost 0% when comorbidity is left out of the equation. Shutting down the world economy? Yes STUPID!
Or, “Musk insisted “kids are essentially immune” to the coronavirus, despite research that children can contract the virus and get sick from it.” Children CAN, but it’s incredibly rare that they get sick and even more unusual that they die. Over a million cases of COVID-19 in children in the US and 271 (claimed) deaths, .02 % fatality. “Forbes,” do you know what the word, “essentially” means? “Musk and Tesla did not respond to requests for comment.” What would they say? “Duh?”
Other headlines from various propaganda machines include, “Inside Elon Musk’s World: He’s Going Mad and Everyone Knows It,” “Elon Musk veers off the road in assailing the media,” YouBoob presents, “Why Does the Media Suddenly Hate Elon Musk?” which presents some intriguing aspects of Musk’s history, and then devolves into utter nonsense. They titled it “…the Media Suddenly…” but then go onto the pitch that “everybody” hates Elon Musk. The most interesting thing about this video is the remarks made about it which seem to rather enthusiastically refute the idea that everyone hates Elon Musk.
Musk has correctly pointed out that nationwide stay-at-home orders amount to “de facto house arrest.” Elon Musk has described lockdowns as “forcibly imprisoning people in their homes” and “To say that they cannot leave their house and they will be arrested if they do, this is fascist.” “This is not democratic, this is not freedom. Give people back their goddamn freedom!”
It seems Elon Musk is not only a genius, he’s a true American! Hell, I might switch from Cadillac to Tesla!
Somebody should ask him where he is going to get all the electricity needed to power those EVs and how far can those cars really go in cold, bad weather. Give him credit for making some interesting products and a fortune along the way, but what is the endpoint?
He doesn’t sound too perceptive to me, in this.
This has NOTHING to do with money.
Get us to Mars, Mr. Musk. Take only the uninfected and un-“vaccinated”.
Bring weapons to destroy later ships from Earth. You’re going to need them, when the Branch Covidians try coming.
Business is the business of business........................
I like him. I recently subscribed to be a Beta Tester for Starlink. It is for my house at the farm.
I will not be buying a Tesla auto.
Musk himself said there's not enough electricity to power all the electric cars if normal cars get outlawed.
We have Teslas all over the place here in NW Florida. I see them as common as any other car that size. You can’t mistake them, as they have no grill.....................
Yes, he knows it.
He also knows it’s not his problem...............
No question Musk is bright, insightful and unafraid. I don’t always agree with him, but I respect him.
I still won’t be buying one.
Nor do I believe the crap about electric powered semi trucks.
Not going to happen.
That guy is as whacky as a Sh*thouse Rat, but I admire what he does with SpaceX.
He reminds me of the Bond villain...the one who gets tears of blood...
Musk is Great! A rrue visionary. And a nice guy, to boot.
Always bet on Musk, and you will make a fortune.
re: “He didn’t stumble onto this skepticism accidentally, he took 4 COVID tests on the same day and saw what was really going on.
He commented, “Something extremely bogus is going on. Was tested for Covid four times today. Two tests came back negative, two came back positive.
Same machine, same test, same nurse.” “
Science: Elon conducts his own test on PCR (or whatever) test method.
Results: Ambiguous.
Conclusion: Covid-19 tests aren’t worth the paper the ‘results’ are printed on ...
Hydrogen powered fuel cell trucks are still electric. They destroy the performance of diesel trucks. I know first hand this is very real...production plans are now, start of production late next year.
Without getting into a rat hole debate on the generation of hydrogen, the point is that they work and are being demanded (emissions) by governments.
He has said there isn’t enough grid or power to support the idea government greenies are pushing.
“We have Teslas all over the place here in NW Florida.”
Probably the best place in America for Teslas. Flat as a board and never cold.
The stat I want to see is how many households with Teslas ONLY own electric cars.
People tend to canonize Musk. He has made a fortune and managed some real accomplishments. However this guy has some real flaws that otherwise rational people overlook. When confronted with difficulties he can be counted on to get stoned and avoids decisions. This business of taking a one way trip to Mars is really a death wish that suggests an underlying agitated depression. Yet there is little doubt that not many men could have organized Tesla and Space X that have had some real accomplishments despite their inherent contradictions. In the case of Tesla there has been no other company with a higher book value and actual capital invested with such a low return on investment. Musk has gambled the future of Tesla on Chinese production and marketing. So far the company has had to share all its patents and techniques with China and its Chinese competitors and has not returned a dime from its Chinese operations to investors.Tesla at its core has troubling similarities a Ponzi scheme. If reality ever caught up to the people investing in its stock, it would collapse. Space X has had an interesting ride but again what is the basis of a profitable endpoint? how will the company really make the money to justify the capital comitted and spent?
Bwahaha, Tesla owners are destroying Gaia!
“EPA accuses Tesla of failing to report emissions from its cars’ coatings”
a few years back i was reading that America’s electric grid is archaic and falling apart, in need of literally MEGA billions of dollars to improve it.
Yet the moonbats are pushing us to have millions of cars plugged into it every night.
California’s grid can’t even handle air conditioners in the summer..
BIG Musk fan here as well
