It's fun how all of us that have owned Teslas for years and have learned that nothing Elon tweets has anything to do with reality are just ahead of the curve with all the promises he's making tweeting about other things and then completely going back on them 3 weeks later.
Speaking of…did he ever followup on his Fauci tweet where he seemed to be accusing fauci of something criminal? Then Elon went silent when people asked for proof?

It's still useful to bad actors to delay EV adoption, renewables, electrification, sow some Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt (FUD). $2.75 billion a day someone once claimed just for the oil business & quite a lot of the money goes to people I despise, who cause huge amounts of harm.
The discussion is about Elon buying Twitter. Not only does his purchase not stop FUD it has actually increased it, unfortunately for valid reasons because of his actions. Elon has opened up another unnecessary vector of attack and his enemies are using it. That is a failure on his part.
 
Who did Elon ban from Twitter?
What were the accusations against them?
A bunch of journalists. His claim was they were "doxing him in real time" which was 1. Not true, and 2. A rule he had just made up.

This one, which just happened today was because she was reporting on him in a negative light.

Ex montrealer here, btw! I miss it.

Every single decision he takes on Twitter is now scrutinized and converted to FUD.

I hope you don’t miss the snow too much. We just had 1 foot of snow this morning and they are announcing 1 more tomorrow. The road are crazy.

As for Twitter, It was written in the sky Elon would have to ban some members for not obeying the rule and that he would himself transgress his own rules made on the way. He has been firing employees in Tesla for under performance reasons (sometime it has to be done) but it was obvious he was going to do the same on Twitter and it would serve as FUD fire.

Here's what brand destruction looks like. US order backlog has gone from close to 200k at the end of July to just 60k at the end of November:

Time for Musk to sell more stocks?

Twitter stiffs software vendor with $8 million left on contract, lawsuit says

In May, a few weeks after Musk struck a deal to buy Twitter, the company notified Imply Data that it would not renew the contract again but "acknowledged the License agreement would 'continue in full force and effect' until the end of its term on September 30, 2024," the lawsuit said.

Payments stopped after Musk took over

Twitter continued making quarterly payments on the contract until Musk completed the purchase in late October. "However, shortly after Musk's purchase of Twitter closed, Twitter refused to pay the outstanding quarterly invoice, which was due on November 30, 2022, and Twitter disclaimed any obligation to pay any future invoices from Imply, despite the unambiguous language in the software license and service agreement requiring Twitter to do so," the lawsuit said.
 
It's really time for the board of Tesla to find a new CEO. Actually it's passed time for them to do so. It's becoming very clear that Elon's new mission in life is to become idolized, silence anyone that is critical of him, and ultimately destroy Twitter. How about we get someone who can focus on quality, customer service and taking Tesla to the next level.
 
for a Texas resident he does spend a LOT of nights in LA... that's for sure. Could be interesting for California tax authorities. Claiming Texas residence but spending most time in Cali.

Clearly you have no experience in how this actually works.


His CPA will keep tabs on the # of days worked in Cali. Then YEARS later when he sells shares / exercises options, an appropriate and proportional check will be cut the the FTB. Elon knows this and is aware of it. It is all handled by his accountant, and there is nothing Elon himself has to do.

Except for staying less than 183 days in California per year … Elon himself has to do that.
