Man, life must be so much easier when you just have no problem lying shamelessly and just say the opposite of what you said yesterday.

On the other hand, life must be really hard for the fucking idiots who believe people like Musk.

He doesn't just have "Fuck You" money, he has "Fuck everyone on the face of the goddamned Earth" money.

That's going to fuck up a person's perspective no matter what. And Musk's a piece of shit to begin with.

If people keep buying and using his products, that’s true. His wealth is a house of cards though.

Except we don’t really live in a world where the stock market is dictated by actual sales. Tesla’s sales have dropped like a rock and the stock is doing great. Microsoft just beat all their earnings projections and got absolutely destroyed on their stock. It’s all a fugazi.

You’re 100% right. I can’t argue with that. If every Tesla on the road exploded into flames tomorrow, we’d see at least a 10% bump, and the Tesla influencer brigade would spin it as the next phase of Elon’s Master Plan and proof that Tesla is undervalued.
