Weak on reading comprehension, it’s OK, public school let you down.

I have more important things to do today than tracking down and cataloging all of Musk past weird/extreme/self serving/inane/manipulative statements and actions.
I am not writing a book on him.

Since you confer sainthood on him, how much was that fine he had to pay for stock manipulation? How long was he barred from running Tesla?

“Except Musk has never advocated for outlawing of ICE cars.”
Yes, he has, his lobbying to ban all ICE cars was a power and market share grab.
About the same time he also demanded the same for aircraft.
You are denying it happened, since he lobbied congress for it there should be better records than just the old threads on this very forum.

Market dominance of the whopping 4% EV market, established by a no longer available to Tesla (But he lobbies hard for a return) taxpayer funded subsidy.
I have my own cars to support, I have no desire to pay for others virtue signaling vanity purchases.

I said the few WHO CAN AFFORD THEM, not the few who already buy them.
Being too expensive for the average American is no barrier to Musk demanding everyone go into debt to buy his toxic products.

Inability to deliver has not slowed his grand claims, please remind me, how many of his fully self driving taxi’s are in service today?
Only one example of many available.

Let me be clear, I am not a Musk disciple and find his sort of “Disruptor” activity unethical and likely not in our best long term interest.

His plan for copying the totalitarian Chinese model for all in one social media should give even his most rabid fans pause.
He has stated that buying Twit is a short-cut to achieving that goal faster.

The blind loyalty and subservience to him by so many is creepy in a Joseph Stalin fan club sort of way.

Here I go, getting banned for speaking the unpopular truth?

1. Give us the link.
2, Tesla ALREADY had a close to a MASSSIVE 70% market share, so why does he need to lobby anyone to “grab market share” again.

I am not writing a book on him.

Thank God for that.
You've saved us a lot of agony.

How long was he barred from running Tesla?

Elon Musk has NEVER been banned from running Tesla. Ever.

You are denying it happened, since he lobbied congress for it there should be better records than just the old threads on this very forum.

Again, give us the link, since it never happened.

About the same time he also demanded the same for aircraft.

Demanded what for aircraft?
1. Musk does NOT make aircraft.
2 Let alone electric aircraft. So how can he lobby for something he doesn't even make?

I said the few WHO CAN AFFORD THEM, not the few who already buy them.
Being too expensive for the average American is no barrier to Musk demanding everyone go into debt to buy his toxic products.

Again, Tesla sold nearly a million EV’s last year and are selling close to 1.4 million this year.
And again, every car they make in instantly sold out. They have a long waiting list for ell their cars. They are not running short of buyers.

Your entire post doesn't make any sense. You are ranting and raving like a demented fellow, so why don't you just go and take your meds and go to sleep like a good boy?

I don’t remember Elon ever advocating for the banning of ICE cars. I did a search for that and did not come up with anything supporting that contention. He did say that he expects ICE cars to be in museums someday but that’s a far cry from calling for them to be banned.
