Tesla’s Elon Musk has been tweeting as if he’s as high as one of his SpaceX rockets.

Wall Street analysts, regulators and the media have all been recent victims of the eccentric billionaire.

But his calling a member of the team rescuing the Thai soccer kids a “pedo” did more than raise eyebrows.

The July 15 tweet prompted an open letter from Loup Ventures’ Gene Munster, who described Musk’s behavior as “fueling an unhelpful perception of your leadership — thin-skinned and short-tempered.”

Elon, stop trying to alter the timeline. The Trumps have been at this a lot longer than you and they are really good at it, nobody better, just ask the Clintons, ask the Bushes. Embrace it and enjoy the ride, lest you really mess things up for yourself.

Elon Musk's bizarre

Yes he is.

I think there will be a financial day of reckoning for him. I think the whole thing is a house of cars that will make history in a sort of Enron way.

cars = cards

That HAD to be a Freudian slip. :)

“Mr Musk, when do you expect TSLA to become profitable on a GAAP basis?”

“Look, a pedo squirrel on Mars!”

STOP DOING GOVERNMENT BUSINESS THROUGH TWEETS. IT IS DANGEROUS AND UNPROFESSIONAL.

That was good. Liked it the first time.

Is Musk high on something? Is he a cokehead, for instance?

In the future, when politicians try to do Trump, it’s not going to work. It will end badly.

Tesla's the way of the future...
...way of the future
...way of the future....

A wackadoodle and his ego.

Social media and hyper active minds don’t mix well together.

All of this started the minute he was exposed for contributing 7 times as much to Repubs as to Dems. In a nanosecond, he went from cool kid, to homophobic pariah, and now to probably mentally unstable.

Laughable.

Not really. In the modern age, it allows the President to reach 53.1 million followers in less than a second without a media filter. Go back out and yell at the kids on your sidewalk.

My thoughts as well. I get these YouGov surveys and they often ask if it is "right" or "presidential" for President Trump to Tweet. I tell 'em I look on them as the modern day equivalent of FDR's "Fireside Chats".
