I mean… I think that pretty much removes any last doubt anyone might have had that Elon Musk had any grasp on the reality that he himself exists in.
Dude you missed quoting the best bit!
"If somebody is going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money? Go fuck yourself," Musk said.
Sorkin replied, "but," and trailed off. Musk wasn't done. "Go fuck yourself. Is that clear? I hope it is. Hey, Bob!" Musk said. Musk was apparently addressing Disney CEO Bob Iger, who previously said at the conference that advertising on X "was not necessarily a positive" association and so Disney "decided we would pull our advertising."
The Muskrat told Disney CEO to go fuck himself.
On video.
With a hard F. No dissembling.
The Tesla board should remove him as CEO as he is clearly unstable.
It’s mean to laugh at people self destructing.
But anyway … fucking lol.
Did you watch the clip?
Not what I would be looking for in a CEO.
What a ceo does or doesn't do is immaterial
If someone is so unhinged that he repedatly can't control his language and emotions, it is a valid reason to suspect that these Person might have serious psychological Problems. So this Person might not be suitable to perform his dutys as CEO of a Company. And he also shouldn't because the Stress and Pressure that comes with this Postion might add to his Problem.
I just checked your Account. Created 5 Days ago. Only one Post with Bad ratio, lots of negative Comments. So I guess you are just a Troll and not worth of my Time.
Stop deepthroating Elongateed Muskrat ezpz
Is english your first language? Because "Unhinged" is a pretty common Word even for me, with english as a second Language. Here is a Link to a Dictonary that might help you.
I'm just passing by to say he ain't worth arguing with.
He's literally acting unhinged towards you
Checked his Account probably a Troll. Im just gonna report and block him.
This is wise. I really hope they're trolling as the alternative is they're actually like that.
Repeatedly, isn't that just a typo? Seems weird focusing on that
Spelling is not what was meant with that comment.
I agree with your point you’re trying to make. Him saying bad words is no indicator of being unhinged. He’s edgy. He speaks his mind. Some don’t like that.
Howard Stern was "edgy". Elon's just fuckin' dumb. It's not teenagers buying his rockets and cars. He's not Tony Stark, despite how much he and his fanbois wish he was.
Journalism is owned by corporations. Journalists can’t speak freely because they must bow to their advertiser masters. Elon doesn’t like that.
The contents of his mind are different point of contention.
He's a CEO. His job is to guide his company to make money. His actions are actively doing the opposite: he is causing his company to lose money.
While this happens from time to time, a smart, presumably stable CEO reverses course and engages in damage control when this happens. Instead, Musk is doubling down hard, despite knowing full well this is likely to destroy the platform formerly known as Twitter.
Look at it this way. You have an investment banker than handles investing a great deal of your money. You just found out said banker just made a series of awful decisions which caused the investments of several of their other clients to crash. They are unrepentant and refuse to take responsibility, instead telling those involved to go fuck themselves.
Would you want that person to continue to handle your money?

Well, good decisions aren't his forte, so what else is left there?
We've got another fan boy here who doesn't realize Musk actually isn't directly responsible for any of the innovations of the companies he funded or purchased. He just had money.
A bit of clear eyed professionalism would be a good start.
What he has achieved in the past is in the past.
Tesla is a major public traded company.
Business is business.
Your charismatic public facing CEO has turned from an asset to a liability?
Punt him.
Tesla is facing some headwinds, increasing competition in the EV space, reported troubles with some of its upcoming products, industrial disputes. Nothing that can’t be dealt with … If your CEO is not shitting the bed in public in another company and quite clearly under a lot of stress.
How can he be providing the attention and care Tesla needs from its CEO and for that matter Space X etc etc
More importantly how are the public, shareholders, customers viewing this? Do they think there is a loose unit in charge behaving irrationally and will that affect the confidence in the company?
Because they see what he is doing at Twitter? Like, what the hell dude, that question has such an obvious answer, yet you ask it anyway. And I know why you do it - because now you will try to argue that what happens with Twitter and his public image doesn't matter to Tesla which is a load of bull
His behaviour is pretty self explanatory.
