Is Elon crying now?

I'm still not convinced that isn't just insurance fraud to try to recoup some money for junky cars no one wants while pretending he's a political victim.
- Good luck getting that proven in a court

Common Sense Skeptic's videos sure are fun to watch again.

The funny thing is the first tweet was right, just wrong in his intention. I don't see this ending without a civil war.
- It's what they want. They are gambling on it.
  
  As long as they don't step into canada, all that will be waiting is a bullet and a disgraceful burial.

The best thing about this is that Tesla is massively overvalued. Like, the stock price is more than 20x what it should be based on Tesla's earnings.
If Tesla had a reasonable value, then hedge fund managers and other rich people would probably be buying it while it was temporarily down and getting rich as it went back up. But, with it so insanely overvalued, it's much more likely they'll short it or buy put options and hope to get rich when it finally crashes.
- Relatively speaking, Tesla is far less overvalued than in the past.
  At one point their market cap exceeded every other automaker in the world COMBINED.
  That might make sense if they were making unprecedented loads of money but of course they got trounced in sales compared to Toyota then and now.
  
  Yes, it was at something like 30x overvalued, now it's only 20x overvalued.
  Glad you mentioned Toyota. Their P/E ratio is approximately 7. Tesla is approximately 100. If Tesla were a well run car company with a lot of good vehicles and an anonymous CEO who nobody hates, the fair value of their stock would be about $14 per share. It's currently $236 per share.
  Someone is going to make mountains of money shorting Tesla stock, but unfortunately it's going to be someone rich. The market can remain irrational much longer than normal people can remain solvent. Some rich dude is going to take the risk though and make out like a bandit.

I like it when Nazi man-children cry.
- Just cry?

How the hell do Elon and other oligarchs feel so safe to call for a literal civil war? He thinks the other side cares more about fighting Joe Bob more than the billionaires? Such strange delusional behavior

Does anyone else think the "happening in my town of (insert town name here)" is a bot account he set up to blow up small isolated incidents?
- Their handle "Elizabeth for NV" would suggest that they might be a politician or political candidate
  
  Or a bot that's been optimized to operate in the "NV" region

This is from the same guy who said Hitler didn't kill millions of people. He's being deliberately obtuse and he thinks everyone must be stupid.
- He does think everyone is stupid. You should read the article his first wife wrote about him years ago. He called himself an Alpha among other cringey things during their wedding reception. EM has a superiority complex and bitches about weaponized empathy while weaponizing empathy by claiming to be a victim and, and his father allegedly put it, "retarded".

We brought him a little taste of civil war. He's just mad he's on the losing side.

genocide? cool and good. black bagging people for protected speech? yeah, pretty fucking cool. letting people die of preventable disease and disaster? yeah, what are you, gay?
but damaging a car? you're basically the worst thing a person can be.
- not damaging a car, what he considers attacking his ego by damaging his worthless scrap heaps. Weight on the word his, as they remain his cars even if you pay for them. he can take control of them or do whatever so you literally can't even own a tesla, only suck up to musk.

What did he think was going to happen?
- Like everyone down there, they feel it will happen to everyone else, not them.

Thoughts and prayers.

Property damage is not violence, say it with me now
- "it with me now"
- What I meant to say was that you're wrong. Destruction is violent any way you cut it.
  Don't spout dumb shit so quickly.
  Ask AI if destroying someone else's private property is a violent act.
  "Say it with me now"
  Ew god... I don't know why I torture myself like this.
- Destruction of property isn't violence, but words are?
  This gets a screenshot.
  
  Who said words are?
  
  Which half of that are you confused about?
  Between this and sharing screenshots to giggle about internet people, you sound like a teenager.

I love that we have found a way to hurt him, keep it up.
- Burning lithium batteries are explosive, toxic and released heavy metals.
  There’s a limited supply of the materials for EVs and e-bikes but a huge value in replacing gas cars with these vehicles.
  Burning these huge batteries harms people breathing the air in the area.
  
  hey what if we used trains with overhead wire instead? they're better in basically every way, especially someplace relatively flat like vegas.
  
  More chemicals than a SpaceX launch?
  
  Waaah, waaaah, waaah...!
  
  Time and place
  
  Yeah, it'd be better just to cease their purchase and let them sit, completely useless. A burnt car gets an insurance payout. What about throwing those giant stickers on the windshield that don't peel off without ripping and leave a ridiculous mess? There was a Russian YouTube channel where people would do that to people driving on sidewalks.
  Bonus money and business for car detailers? Lol
  
  Fair point

Musk: "Civil War is Inevitable!"
People destroy his company's products.
- Tracking devices with car (driving) features*

Awhh, boo hoo

It continues to amaze me just how many grown-ass adults have seemingly never moved beyond schoolyard-levels of maturity. This is like typical childhood bully stuff. And that's before we even get into these immature manbabies actually have real power over people...
- When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I'm basically the same. The temperament is not that different.
  Donald Trump
  I'm not even joking.
  https://theweek.com/speedreads/575962/donald-trump-tells-biographer-hes-same-now-first-grade
  
  So, I had to look it up, and first grade in the US is children that are 6 to 7 year olds. Which means that oddly enough, Donald seems to have told something true in his biography.
  
  Holy shit

It would make my year if he cried live in an interview where it dawns on him that he's the cause of his own demise. But he's not smart enough.
- He almost did actually. He was in an interview a little while ago where he was moments away from tears.
  
  So what you're saying is step up the protest.

He assumed his opponents would kill random people instead of targeting his property.
He probably can't even comprehend a worldview where people prefer to attack wealth over taking another human being's life.
- I was looking for someone saying this. He was envisioning a bunch of us poors fighting each other when he called for civil war. He never thought it would be all of us against him.
  It really does show that violence might be the only way to get through to these people. Not that I would ever advocate for such a thing directly myself of course of course. But if this is the only thing that gets their attention, it seems like he's inviting more of it.
- That would require empathy, which he considers a weakness. So he probably is genuinely baffled by this.
  
  I don't know if he consider that a weakness.
  He's a narcissist and it's how they work, they just miss empathy and they can't recognize their errors.

You know what's horrific and evil? Cutting Medicaid and social security for millions of people because your billions of dollars isn't enough money to make up for the fact that you're a giant man baby.
- "It's only a civil war when we do it. Otherwise it's nonsensical violence against innocents!"
  
  "Defending freedom" when we bomb
  <anyone>
  ! Terrorism when they bomb us!

Has he even said 'Thank You' ONCE yet??? So ungrateful...
- And he's not wearing a suit either

Personally i think the level of violence could be a little higher still... Or way higher! Burning megafactories levels of higher.
- Well, civil war levels of violence would be higher. Are you saying Elon was right lol?
  
  "A sufficiently broken clock can randomly be right an arbitrary number of times per day".
  
  If it happens to a poor defenseless megafactory outside the US is it still civil war?

Your self-driving Teslas literally drove a woman to the sea where it acted as her watery coffin, this was also the sister-in-law of a major Senator of the party YOU support
Can't imagine what they'd do to people you actually don't like.
- I thought it was a pond on a ranch and she was drunk driving and the primary issue was the doors wouldn't open so she drowned in the car? There was also recently a Cybertruck that crashed and burst into flames and the doors wouldn't open so the teenagers inside were burned to death in what could have otherwise been a survivable crash.
  
  The problem is the physical latch is hidden for esthetic purposes. So when something happens that cuts power to the main door release, it's not easy to find the physical latch.
  So for liability purposes they get to argue that those people weren't locked in, they just didn't know the safely mechanisms well enough.
  In other words, they're built to kill you and get away with it.

You know how they demolish bridges that have become unsafe to use?
Well... its the same with vehicles... 👀
Who knows how many lives these heroes have saved.
- Seems a shame to waste the batteries though.
  Slashing tyres is probably more eco friendly.
  
  "Vandalise Responsibly" isn't advice I ever thought I'd have to consider but I can't say I oppose it either.

Elon has done some impressive things but his voice carry’s as much weight as the president. Even more. To call for civil war seems reckless and will stir up the MAGA side. So with all his money and power he isn’t able to form some kind of mediation between all parties. He could be a beacon of reason and peace with his immense wealth. Why choose this path so quickly.
- Elon has done some impressive things
  The more I look into that, the more I question this.
  He has has bought companies that have done impressive things and tarnished nearly to the point of ruin all but one of them.
  He wasn't the brainchild behind any of these products; he was, at most, the person who convinced venture capitalists to invest and the one who bargained with lawmakers to allow them.
  I'm increasingly seeing brilliant people who have dealt with him in person mentioning that he has quite sub-par reasoning skills, and we're seeing more and more of that in the news.
  
  Well documented Elon literally hasn't done anything impressive. His whole thing is buying into other companies and claiming to be the inventor/founder.
  America on all sides is woefully bad at bullshit detection. Anyone that constantly talks themselves up should be scrutinized relentlessly
- Because MAGA doesn't respect discourse, only shows of strength no matter how sloppy or feeble
  
  MAGA is also under the false impression that liberals don't own guns.

Sow wind, harvest storm.

Insurance fraud

Horrific and evil? Get the fuck outta here.

He didn't mean for it to affect him, his share prices, or his job!

The funny thing is, he doesn't even feel it that much. His ownership of Tesla is peanuts compared to SpaceX, where the contracts with the government are. Just some food for taught 🤔
- ? ~60% of his wealth is estimated to be in Tesla shares
  His net worth is definitely affected by Tesla shares declining
  
  No, it actually ~13% while on SpaceX being the owner he has a share of ~42%

Who is Elizabeth helgelien?
- Who cares, we know in which asshole her tongue is and that’s all that matters.
