For who?
That’s the real question.

For the light of consciousness. Elon was the singular solution.

Hey, if science if fake then....
What you think about the origins of COVID is irrelevant. What's true is what matters. And no, the general consensus among scientists is that it was likely of natural origin, but they can't be absolutely sure (science is like that). That a bunch of Republicans publish a report claiming otherwise doesn't make it so. In fact the report itself really doesn't say anything, similar to Elon's "Twitter Files" lame nonsense.
Looks like twitter is not going bankrupt after all

Twitter's ad platform sees traffic increase following Elon Musk acquisition
Despite speculation that advertisers would flee Twitter following its acquisition by Elon Musk, new data shows that traffic to the platform's ad management subdomain has actually increased. This suggests that advertisers are still interested in using Twitter to reach their target audience.

His tweets are not significantly different to anything he has previously posted (see previous covid related tweets circa 2020). You're all just getting swayed by recent negativity in modern media.
Telsa hasnt had any major mis steps so far and by all objective metrics has exceeded or acomplished all expectations. There really isnt an objective reason to remove elon on the basis of the companies performance. That may change in the coming months to years. But right now you're participating in cancel culture.

Again, for Elon and for any MAGA types that will take dumb actions based on the “big breakthrough Twitter files”. PizzaGate 2.0…[467.0?] in the making. As a slight aside I do genuinely feel badly for most of the lied to and left behind MAGA folk.
Also I wonder if it’s sunk into Elon’s big beautiful mind that he just accused China of causing this pandemic. More mistakes like this and it will end poorly for leveraged Tesla investors. We all know that, for the time being, China has all our balls in a vice with Giga Shanghai. Elon knows that and up until now has been very cautious with his words concerning China.

Lots of information was bad. The job of Public Health is to try to figure out what's best amongst a number of lousy choices and set policy. It's the public's job in an emergency that they don't understand to basically STFU and follow policy as best they can. We've had pandemics before. What was true then has proven to be true now: when people listen to demagogues rather than follow public policy then far more chaos and death ensues.

7 words throw that out the window along with making everything an “emergency”.
Never let a crisis go to waste.

That's an interesting point I did not consider. The implicit accusation is something I wonder if its something he considered; in a rush to "own" certain people he did not consider the repercussions of what he has said (I'm reminded of how some people feel about Brexit). Seems to happen quite often when people are blinded with rage and rush to checkmate people.
Like it or not, Elon & Twitter has some linkages to Elon & Tesla by way of things like this.

Nope. It's different this time. He was just a
poster before. Now he owns the joint.

Putting it mildly. He's gone off the deep end.
The time has come: Should there be a shareholder vote to remove Elon as CEO?
"Since the company’s inception in 2003, Tesla’s mission has been to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy." https://www.tesla.com/elon-musk How does Elon's recent behavior and him buying Twitter accelerate the transition to sustainable energy? It doesn't. In my opinion, it's...

If that’s where the trail of crumbs leads then so be it. We can’t pick and choose what’s convenient to us as shareholder and customer and discard what makes us uncomfortable.
Absolutely Not!
Deceit by omission and suppression is still deceit. Worse, even!

A Tesla is basically a giant MAGA hat on wheels are this point.
He is so caught up in his right wing fever dream that he believes in the supreme righteousness of his cause. Tesla and TSLA investors be damned in service of his mission to preserve humanity and universe (as he sees it). This seems to be a deep held conviction and further mistakes will happen that put Tesla in peril. It won't stop until the board/shareholders intervene. Will they before it's too late?

Extended threads on Twitter with folks saying driving a Tesla is like wearing a MAGA hat now, with many saying they were considering buying a Tesla but would no longer do so. Others saying they walked the walk and bought another brand of EV based on Elon’s shenanigans. Maybe just talk, but worrisome nonetheless.

Not sure what you imagine public health is about, but doing their best to ensure the collective good is pretty much their job description. And while I didn't hear any lies, I know that I decided at the time that masking properly was obviously the safest thing to do, it was also obvious that we didn't have enough good masks for everybody, so they should go first to those on the front lines.
This was actually one of the most correct bits of guidance from the CDC.
You seem to be confused, thinking that they've supposed to tell us what's best for us individually. That's simply not true. Public Health is about what's safest for us overall.
Fauci did a fine job (although far from a perfect one). Musk is making an ass of himself, and cozying up to crazy people and criminals. Very sad to watch. I wonder what is wrong with him, and whether it will mean he becomes non-functional for Tesla and SpaceX.
