Losers don’t create $60,000,000,000 companies from scratch in well-entrenched high-stakes industries.
That major players “have products coming down the pike” is only because he created major competition. They’re a decade behind him, and will be hard-pressed to produce better.

Not sure how you conclude “short it ... put the Tesla to shame.”

It’s not really drug use if you and the joint only exist within a massive simulation.

Works 120 hours a week, takes sedatives, smokes marijuana...." This creep's brain will soon be so scrambled, it'll look like an IHOP breakfast

Ooooh, most excellent. You have to assume someone might steal it.

Rumor has it he’s hired Charlie Sheen and Randy Quaid as advisors.

Go ahead and put your money where your mouth is. DOn’t see any dividend. Don’t know if they’ve even made money. Don’t know. Don’t know of any brokerage firm bullish on this stock still. Sounds like they’re way behind in their production, and they have quality issues.

I drove a Tesla about a year ago. The most amazing car I’ve ever driven, bar none. Next car I buy, probably in three years, will be electric.

I do see that the board of directors of his company better step in before he does more damage....like for example shooting his mouth off that he’s going to take the company private and has the capital to do it.

IN short, his car is looking more and more like a Delorean in the making.

He’s likely always been like this. He is a successful person, but I think he and I are the same.

I have the intellect to run a company - even two of this size. But I don’t have “what it takes” to do either. He has a board, and I have a board. I have to take a step back and let them do them while I do me.

As a designer and visionary he and I both have what it takes, but there are certain aspects that we don’t.

I’m impressed by his life, but I also think he’s a flawed person - like everyone.

As far as where his company is going, it’s going down. And that’s ok - it’s supposed to. You can’t tell investors that but the Tesla car brand was designed not to be the best, it was designed to be the first. After this company broke ground of COURSE other companies will come and improve on it. That’s the natural progression. He understands this. Investors would never invest if they understood this as well.

The Solar industry seems to get it, and it’s investment has been glacially slow. Same with wind power. The first generations won’t be perfect but they are moving toward a goal.

You must not know much about Federal law or contracting. Marijuana cultivation, possession, use, transfer, or sale are still illegal under U.S. Federal law. Federal contracts contain clauses that require employers maintain a drug free workplace, mandate drug testing for certain positions, and prohibit any employee from using illicit drugs, including the CEO. SpaceX and any other Musk organization that does business with the Federal government can be fined and barred from obtaining contracts. Individuals also can be civilly or criminally prosecuted.

Sounds like the federal governments's problem, not Musk's.

Rogan pretty much cheerleads for various kinds of dope on each of his shows, oh, and he's a real Trump-bashing moron. With the right guest the show can be interesting, but with him as the host, the average of his and his guest's /s' IQs has to be above 100, or the show sucks.

Doesn’t help, but also doesn’t negate $60B in new companies making major industry advances.
