So... Tesla's stock declined nearly 10% today after Wall Street digested the first quarter earnings results. Meanwhile, Saint Elon's management of Twitter continues to be a hilarious disaster, the latest manifestation being v 3.0 (at least) of Musk's insane paid verification plan. LeBron James and Stephen King declined to pay for their blue checkmark, so to maintain the illusion that this is working, Elon paid for them himself.
Anyone who thinks this man is capable of stable management of any company over the long run needs their head examined.
Buying Twitter has, in my opinion, really shown us just how naked this Emporer is. I've known he's pretty ruthless inside his companies, so I'd never consider working for him, but I thought at least he's smart about business. Watching him overpay for Twitter and then make misstep after misstep says to me the Tesla board should find a different CEO.
Between the blatant bigotry and his weaponizing of Twitter as a hate machine, I don't think he's a man anyone should listen to or work for. Unfortunately, neither the board nor investors care about that unless it affects them personally, so we're all stuck with him for a while. I'm nowhere near as confident in Tesla's future as I once was. I don't think it's going under or anything close to that, but it seems unlikely to be the overwhelming success I once thought it could be.
