To be such a smart guy, Musk can do some really stupid stuff.

He is alienating Tesla buyers all over the world.

He's not smart. Only very rich.

As the US Administration becomes more erratic and Musk continues to meddle in the affairs of other countries, I believe we will see more and more Western countries embrace China and Europe to partner with.

I read today that even Russia is beginning to question what is going on because they are having a hard time accepting the fact that the Trump administration would purposefully destroy the country and its relationship with the West.

It feels like the wheels are coming off the wagon.

If Trump strays ineptly from the Russian script, it may discredit them, and create instabilities that do not benefit them. Let's see.

Here's another dimension to the stupidity: it's probably going to drive some Boeing customers to Embraer, instead of waiting for their 737MAX to be built. I would add COMAC and Airbus but Airbus will have trouble expanding production, and COMAC might still be too risky.

Also Poilievre and the Tories have had to modify their soft-on-Russia stances. Trump is creating blowback that's reducing the effectiveness of influence campaigns elsewhere,

Hope China robs them blind. The negative feelings are an intentional part of the propaganda system. Unfortunately Europe is also under stress from propaganda systems, so even though like the US it's doing just fine, great even, it won't feel that way there either. China is the best bet, North Korea the second.

This article isn’t interesting and I’m assuming it’s a business decision justified by the “outrage”.

Scrolling there’s another article:

Honestly, msnbc is like Pravda.

MSNBC would be correct (but this article is posted to MSN, which is separate since 2012, and it's a repost of some site called BallerAlert; the ATC article is by Mediaite).

Here's the tweet, though: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1895136616441905228

Hmmm, running out of people to fire, need fresh blood (even if its old)?

... But, I mean, he did do that?
