Funny how she says a lot of things but I am struggling to find the truth in any of it. Last year she promised GM would be selling 40 different EV’s by 2023, maybe she meant to say “sell 40 EV’s by 2023?

I hope they put out some good options. I think almost everyone in America is almost now at the point where if they needed to buy a new car.. they’d probably go EV or at very least hybrid.

That's a lie.

She can say whatever she wants, media will only focus on when musk makes wildly in accurate predictions. She should be just fine.

Hey, I’ve got some news: he did some things recently that were a bit worse than inaccurate predictions

Long list (he called a cave rescue diver a pedophile for example) but the worst thing he did was inspire a small army of annoying sycophants that desperately want him to be the genius Tony Stark CEO he styles himself to be, despite the evidence to the contrary.

So, you say “long list” as your answer… and of course the cave diving incident, thought you would have gladly jumped in there when I teed you up with an easy chance to back up your bluff, but maybe millionaire Mars Bars isn’t so much better.

This is exactly the kind of semi incoherent pro Musk garbage that makes his followers so insufferable. What the fuck are you even talking about? You aren’t clever enough to be coy.

Lol you do a really good job of giving non answers. I think Reddit is producing a generation of people who have fake arguments.

Here you go:
Claiming in March 2020 that people worried about the coronavirus were “dumb” Predicting on March 19, 2020, that the U.S. was going to have “close to zero new cases” by the end of April Questioning the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines, and baselessly asserting that there were “quite a few negative reactions” to getting a second shot Likening Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau to Hitler Saying the U.S. government shouldn‘t provide subsidies to companies after receiving billions in subsidies from the U.S government Using Twitter to engage in securities fraud Tweeting, “Pronouns suck” Tweeting misogynistic things at Senator Elizabeth Warren because she said he should pay more in taxes Writing to Bernie Sanders, who also thinks the richest man in the world should pay more in taxes, “I keep forgetting that you’re still alive” Tweeting dumb, sexist jokes Tweeting a photo of Bill Gates and writing, “in case u need to lose a boner fast” Tweeting in 2018 that Tesla factory workers could lose their stock options if they unionized Baselessly accusing a British cave diver instrumental in rescuing a trapped football team of being a “pedo guy” because he, like others, said Musk’s idea to send in a submarine wouldn’t work
While off-line, and more consequentially:
Reopening a Tesla factory in violation of public health orders, where 450 cases were subsequently recorded Running a company (Tesla) that was ordered to pay nearly $137 million to a former Black employee who said the company ignored repeated complaints that he was called the N-word and that his colleagues “had drawn swastikas and scratched a racial epithet in a bathroom stall and left drawings of derogatory caricatures of Black children around the factory.” (In a message to Tesla employees, a human resources executive downplayed the man’s allegations, noting he was a contractor, not a full-time staffer, and that other witnesses had said that while they heard racial slurs, they were used in a “friendly” manner. The H.R. executive added that the company was “not perfect” at the time of the incidents, and “is still not perfect,” but has “come a long way.”) Running a company (Tesla), where a female worker said sexual harassment was “rampant,” alleging “nightmarish conditions” and a factory that “more resembles a crude, archaic construction site or frat house than a cutting-edge company in the heart of the progressive San Francisco Bay area.” (The company did not respond to multiple requests for comment from The Washington Post, which noted Tesla “does not typically respond to press inquiries.”) Running a company (Tesla) that employees have called a “modern-day sweatshop” (In response, Telsa said it abided by California laws.) Attempting to “destroy a Tesla whistleblower” Reportedly exploding at “executives and lower-ranking workers” alike, and allegedly firing people who disagreed with him (Musk has denied allegations that he goes on firing sprees) Announcing Tesla’s headquarters would move to Texas one month after the state effectively banned all abortions Paying a private investigator $50,000 to dig up dirt on the cave diver he called “pedo guy”

Now did I write that whole list of terrible things Elon Musk is done? No I did not. How did I find it? I simply googled “bad things Elon Musk has done”
You worry about Reddit create a group of people that give non-answers. I worry about Reddit creating a group of people like yourselves who could easily Google the answer to a question but instead expect individuals to hand feed them answers and if those answers are not supplied, they assume the information does not exist.
The Internet has given us easy access to volumes of information but that is meaningless if people don’t take a minute to actually, you know, look it up.
