    No effect as I noticed he had gotten distracted:

    DOGE and Trump certainly made Musk a target for some.

    For example:


    This report has a lot of flaws mixed with a few correct observations.

    Just think what these posts would have been like if he hadn't gone crazy ..... or showed his true colours, I guess we will never know

    Crazy and true colors?

    Like being responsible for the best EVs available to the general public, making internet available to most of the world and becoming the first trillionaire and richest man on earth?

    Yep...wish I had some of his problems...and smarts too.

    FTR...I still don't knowingly own or use any of his products/services.

    I know this is going to a tough call for the Elon fan club, but if you can watch to the end of this video and then point out where he is wrong, I'd love to hear your thoughts .... For those that didn't understand just what they were buying and bought into the hype .... ummm..... best use what ever cash you have to buy a good motorhome with a shower and toilet and plenty of house battery capacity and solar .... that way you will at least have a roof over your head ......

    Let's just say you are limiting the general public to the US buyer, but it is the name most associated with EV fires and EV deaths, so maybe that is a US bench mark ..... but please, try looking outside the US borders before making sweeping statements that include the rest of the world, but do it sitting down, the shock might weaken your knees .....

    I've already made my observations as related. As for investments...I don't need or want any advice from anyone here in a car forum. This old Mechanic already worked his azz off for our f-ck you money and will be retiring in 6-8 months...very comfortably I might add.

    ...and as I stated before, "FTR...I still don't knowingly own or use any of his products/services."

    Are yes, the amazing money they pay the man who fixes their car, yet a fitter with a 1/4 of the skill gets more than double the pay, upskill as a hydraulic fitter or heavy industrial fitter or plant mechanic, in other words using a fraction of the skills you used as a motor mechanic back in the days when you actually fixed things, and they pay you crazy money ...... but I still miss a few things from back then .... being poor isn't one of them ......
