To be honest, I never cared for Elon Musk.

But I must say, he's starting to be one of those unlikely sane voices, in a sea of insane deranged Idiots.
Like in the same way, Donald Trump came out of nowhere and blindsided us all. Keep your eye on Elon Musk.
He may be the next guy willing to throw away his whole Tesla fortune and empire to battle with the Marxist evil commie forces.

On one hand it's easy to dismiss him willing to now dismiss the Government subsidy for the EV industry, as "Well I got mine so screw you".
But I believe he realizes the price that comes with taking that money, you're in political debt to Bernie Sanders and AOC at every turn. It's just a matter of time before it bites you in the ass.
.@elonmusk SHREDS Biden's bloated infrastructure bill:

"Honestly, I would just can this whole bill— don't pass it... I would just delete it. DELETE."

Then here he is telling the world to go have babies.

Elon is right, western civilization has been in decline since birth rates started to decline.

The bill still gives you $8k off a Tesla federally.. and then CA gives you like $2500 more. So that’s $10500 off a Tesla when this passes. Sure GM gets over $12k Federal and a total of close to $15k off but that’s basically just one car. The Chevy bolt which no one wants cause they are recalling them all cause the battery catches fire.

If this bill passes you won’t be able to buy a Model 3 until 2023. A base model 3 would cost $35k after rebates. That’s a bargain compared to any car in that price range. Already you have to wait til summer of 2022 to get a base Model 3.

Elon is whining cause he wants to Jack the price of the model 3 up to $50k base and then have the taxpayer on the hook for $15k per car.

He’s kinda known to be a cry baby.

The funny thing is, I really should have bought a Tesla last February 2021. The standard range model 3 was selling for $36k roughly for a short time. Then this EV range bill became a real possibility and he slowly jacked up the price to basically cancel it out.

The long range model 3 is probably the best deal cause the price was raised the least of all models.

Elon is interesting; he basically is a USA government contractor and acts like he’s an entrepreneur.

Tesla cars are powered by natural gas in California and natural gas and nuclear power in Florida.

Guy has neural implants, he's as deep state as it gets. Watch the Joe Rogan interview again, fucking robot.

Doesn't mean he isn't making some true statements, just keep in mind what he really is.

He's John McCain deep state. Not Kremlin deep state. He likes the old school pork barrel carve outs, money for NOTHING.
He's learning with the Commies, that money comes with a huge price. His megalomaniac personality will never allow him to answer to those entities giving him money like his Enterprise has been Nationalized by the State.

I think he's been gone through some deep emotional roiling since his Green Alliance with the Obama administration. Like he's had to slice off pieces of his soul and give up his own decision process. I think that's why he did the pot smoking interview, explains the flame thrower, the silly shinny space ship that really didn't go into use. It was just a huge thumbing of his nose at those trying to control him and his company. His angled Cyber Truck, was meant to be a joke but it took off. Those same folks claiming they like it today. Will look back and think the AMC Pacer was a nicer looking vehicle.

I don't know what he's done lately but he looks more at peace and together and more lucid than he's been in over a decade. He's looking like the Elon Musk back when he was pitching ideas to the Obama administration, before he knew what he was getting himself into.

I think he has the makings of the next political figure to follow up after Trump. And if I'm being honest, I would much rather him, than a Trump kid. They need to develop some political clout out in the wild for a couple decades like Musk has done. He was nowhere near ready back in 2008 to now.

All Musk will need is a well planned walk down the escalator and unload on the O-Biden regime like Trump exposed the Clinton Foundation. l bet he knows where the dead bodies are.

I wonder what flipped him? Could it be, the Green folks in Obama's administration worshiped him, while the Biden Commies don't give a shit about none of that green shit. They just want to see America pay $10 a gallon for gas, so it will destroy the country quicker. What good is all of that work, if you're just going to give them something else nice to drive.
The Biden Commies don't want that!

Headquartering in Texas, which has a con-servative ruling class perhaps. He talks weekly to our Governator.
9   NuttBoxer   2021 Dec 8, 2:32pm  

Wolf in sheep's clothing. Same as Sanders. They'll say all kinds of truth, but they don't believe, or live one bit of it.

Believing he's flipped is like believing we have a two party system...

Elon is pissed that shitty Bezos Blue Welfaregin and Lockheed Handoutspace got billions for decade+ development hell vaporware.

He also said the government doesn't need to subsidize EV charging stations. Elon is doing fine working with Wawa.
11   NuttBoxer   2021 Dec 9, 10:45am  

I don't know, he's gotten a pretty sweet gig. Running the biggest "green" company ponzi scheme to date. Think I'm exaggerating, look at his profits, all from government subsidies. Try to find an early model Tesla still on the road.

His cars crash, his satellites crash, and eventually, he.. will crash.

Agree with everything that was said. Pork Barrel spending made that possible. At least he performed better than Solyndra.

I'm piqued at what he is saying now. Watching him for further development. But he is elevated to a potential Swamp buster, Political class shaker, and the bane of Commies and RINOS everywhere. If he continues this course, it will yet to be seen.

World's first reuseable rocket series that undercuts Lockheed Handoutspace and EUriane. Even Rock Bottom priced Russia can't compete with the price point.
14   Tenpoundbass   2021 Dec 9, 3:11pm  

Yeah but what happened to his "The Day the Earth stood still" Stainless Steel, bright and shinny Rocket ship he was building in 2012?
Didn't it blow up while trying to launch or testing the thruster, or something?

I remember thinking he wasn't taking it very seriously if he's modeling after 1950's sifi television shows.

Upper stage took off and landed several times.

Only 2 years since prototype.

Lockheed Handoutspace is decades into SDHLV aka Ares aka Orion/SLS, tens of billions into dev, nothing to show for it.

The same goes for a family starting out.
The bank is willing to give you $500K for a house move in ready.
But wouldn't lend you $80K for some fixer upper, that is not move in ready. Even if it only needed less than $30K
So they wouldn't lend you $110K, that has $500K value, once fixed up. Nor will they loan a $20-$40K for a lot of land.
Or less for that matter. Try getting a loan for 4 acres of land in in Georgia or South Carolina for around $6K to $12K.
It's as if our financial institutions are designed to ruin people or make a ton of money from the interest over the life of their loan.

You got it. Can't get $100k for a 2 acre and slap a $50k mobile home on it, but you could get $400k for a 1/4 acre 50 year old 1200 sq ft Ranch that is long overdue for new roof, gutters, etc.

Developers and Real Whores are the reason why, too. Why make a commission on $100k when you can make $400k. Why compete with middle class home owners for 2 acre properties when you can slap a McMansion on it and double your money in a year.

I am glad about that. Otherwise, the prices for raw land and fixer-uppers would inflate like SFH.
