    Elon.

    If you are on a ship… and there is some troublesome bullshit cargo that keeps throwing off the balance of the ship, in a storm, and that cargo is the property of an idiot who keeps trying to erect his own sail, despite have no clue what he is doing, no idea how sailing works…

    You throw said dumbass and his bullshit overboard, so the ship and everyone else survives.

    … Then, you mutiny against the idiot captain whos been bought and paid for by the other idiot who is currently fish food.

    I was living under the idea that the Load bearing snake oil salesman of the American Economy was Sam Altman.

    It’s because the company is fully subsidized by carbon credits and government funding. The crazy brand valuation is based on fully autonomous driving and person less cabs which will never happen at Tesla.

    Just gotta love the sudden change in demeanor in the pictures of articles regarding him.

    Destroying the country? Laughs and jumps. Losing everything he “worked” for? Serious face.

    Bye Elon get out of here.

    Sorry buddy, but the US has seen bigger industries rise and fall in its time and survive. Your one company will be a blip.

      Other way around.

      He didn’t say that Tesla going down would bring the US down. He said that the US going down would bring Tesla down.

      The context here was him saying that he couldn’t justify spending all his time at Tesla, since his expertise was required to keep America from going down.

      Turns out giving him free reign with something that actually has a bigger impact than his own companies had consequences he doesn’t like.

    Translation : “If I can’t keep stealing US taxpayers funds and funnel them into my companies, they won’t be able to exist on their own merit.”

        There’s the guy who urges the captain to increase the ship’s speed, so they can arrive a day early and impress everyone that the “unsinkable” ship is also super fast. And then sneaks his way onto a lifeboat at the end, when they’re only supposed to be taking women and children. Arguably a parallel to Musk in that he’s partly responsible for the sinking of the ship.

        Much more prominent is Rose’s (Kate Winslet) rich scumbag fiance who refers to Jack (Leo DiCaprio) as a “gutter rat”, responds to “half the people on this ship are going to die” with “not the better half”, tries to bribe with cash one of the men loading boats in order to secure himself a slot, and ultimately manages to get on a boat by picking up a random crying child and claiming it as his own. Much more like Musk himself, but not really a parallel in having resposibility for the ship sinking.
