What did he actually contribute to those companies besides money / getting investors on board? You really believe he's ever done any real coding or engineering in his life?

And it seems he has a very clever plan to destroy one, too - Twitter....

Period after the word, "scamming" works better... True definition of a Charlatan...

Yes, it was discussed in another thread.... Like all of the other fudged numbers on the order page and coming out of Elon's mouth, this bogus torque number is after differential gear reduction! Top CT model has less than 845HP. Top Rivian has 900HP. The real Rivian torque number is 908 lb-ft. The laws of physics are the same for RJ (Rivian) as they are for Elon (Tesla). Fudging like Tesla did would put the Rivian "higher" than the top Cybertruck. Sorry, Elon, you are not above the laws of physics....

Breaking news:
Looks like George Santos needed the Cybertruck to pack his things and move back to New York.
Embattled GOP Rep George Santos expelled from House
Rep. George Santos, D-N.Y., was expelled from the House on Friday after being charged with nearly two dozen federal counts, including identity theft and falsification of records.

yes.
I just wonder if his bio is correct in that he started with nothing and is now where he is. Maybe his engineering father beat technical into him during the abuse. Elon Musk - Tesla, Age & Family
Technical or not - doesn't matter to me.
Started with nothing except for the money and privilege that comes with being the son of an apartheid emerald mine owner.
If you want the real story of how skilled Elon is, just look at how he's running twitter. That's what happens when he doesn't have anyone left to say no to his batshit insanity.
I wonder why Twitter is different than his other 7 companies. I really do.
If I have 8 things and one goes bad.... then I'm defined by the single one in today's society. It's a sad place to live. Just like TV news stations. Just bad news after bad news and then right before the commercial - a good story to get you to come back.
8 companies + one bad one = Failure. SAD
I agree. What will happen to the pricing if:
Interest rates go down.
Tesla is producing its own lithium.
etc.
For goodness sake - I can't remember what the financial status of the US was like 4 years ago when all of this started.
I HIGHLY doubt Elon is managing twitter by himself.
Whoaa..... wait a min. Adults are running Tesla? Not Elon? Which is it?
Let's come to a consensus here.

I suspect it will be "Plaid like"... after all early adopter, fanboy, shill and influencer orders are fulfilled, price cuts and mass depreciation will reign supreme.
If the price cuts and mass depreciation come down to 2019 prices (as has happened with every other model before) ...will there be any forum apologies for today's price criticism?
I HIGHLY doubt it. HIGHLY
It's possible/likely this is the "early adopter/influencer" pricing and by 2025 the prices will come down as it becomes profitable with volume production.
Then again, Elon has stressed interest rates play a big role and those are predicted to go down. So might that float prices up? They also face a hard cap of $80k for the EV tax credit on the lower two variants at least.

Dude, there was no Plaid in 2019 - so don't confuse the issue/point made. I paid $145,000 for a Plaid in 2021 (not 2019) and the same car today sells for $80-something. My point is accurate and fair. Full stop

And the "quad motor" will go the way of Plaid+. Announce it for some reason only to never make it. Bizarre.
