Twitter was fucked so can had to carry it with a merger and then carry that by a merger with spacex. Tesla has had ABYSMAL sales so yeah, now it’s time to carry it by merging with something else. Some genius. I mean he IS a stellar carnival barker, and he’s made some novel market moves.. but if he was this mental giant he and everyone claimed, he wouldn’t keep having to bail out all these failures.

    I think for his supporters, keeping all the companies going builds into his mythos. If he lets any of them fail, suddenly he isnt on a perfect game anymore, and his valuation tanks. So he has to keep the circus going...

    The people idolising him are too stupid to realise that he has failed a bunch of companies at this point.

    It's not just stupidity in his fan base, they are all in on the scam. It's a gamble stock, worth practically nothing compared to it's valuation, but they got rich off of it, or see others doing so.

    That is what society respects, not actually doing things like Nikola Tesla, but stealing his name, I would call it an actual form of cultural appropriation that is bullshit and not just white people trying to get offended for other reasons; but rather pumping up values and making parasitical profits.
