    Elon Musk does spend 100% of his time working. The guy is probably going through a mental break down right now, this shit has been a slow moving train wreck for months.

    The inventor of the smart phone used Cannabis. When is this going to end?
    Smartness has nothing to do with Cannabis, if anything smart people avoid that shit

    People take drugs because they are UNHAPPY, depressed or whatever hurts them
    Happy people don't do drugs. Smart or otherwise.
    All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side

    He's been a bit of a PR disaster of late. It's a shame because I'm rather a fan of what he's done with SpaceX.

    Hughes was the man though.

    [QUOTE=cubby;50082393]Lol, yeah - he's been such a wreck of a businessman during his lifetime. [/QUOTE

    It doesn't matter how well he did in the past, he randomly used twitter to claim he had financing to take the company private. He didn't. They're looking at major investor lawsuits over that and if he doesn't play his cards very straight probably an SEC inquiry. Tesla is not a profitable company, nor does it meet its own targets consistently. There are major engineering and production issues to contend with that can only be solved by the raising of yet more investor cash. His behavior the last few months has not been the sort of behavior that generates large amounts of new funding. Period. And that's getting priced into his stock prices.

    Bro, people have been begging Joe Rogan to have Elon on for fucking years. It has nothing at all to do with Elon's ego. If you had actually watched the podcast you'd know that the interview was great for the most part. Elon was painfully awkward in the beginning but totally warmed up after Joe busted out the whiskey, which interestingly wasn't mentioned at all by the news networks freaking out about Elon smoking weed, even though he didn't even fucking inhale and stated later that he didn't feel anything.

    Stress is happy I guess, instead of resolving it healthily you just suppress it with weed. Way to go, Happy guy. Reflect on that. Do you think stress just goes away? Did it become a routine to smoke weed after work? It helps you relax, of course it does, otherwise stress and unhappiness. Oh junkies and your rationalizations.

    Yeah, yeah, yadda, yadda. It's no surprise that the first step to solve the problem is to realize that you have a problem. It's hard.

    Alcohol is legal, too, and him getting drunk on camera would be as inappropriate as this is. Nobody cares what he does in private, but on camera he represents his companies and the people who invested in those. He's acting like an edgy teenager, he should stay under the radar until he can manage his issues.
    And this is where you miss the point completely, Elon is not a fortune 500 CEO or your run of the mill company Manager he is now a forever will be a celebrity and a quirky one at that, im not sure many people would care what the CEO of Ibm does in his spare time but with Elon people want to know the person behind the genius so to speak saying his actions were inappropriate are ridiculous

    Everyone discussing why you are or aren't a peadophile and what reasons there could be (no smoke without fire and all that).
    And then it keeps going, and each week there's new comments so the papers are still questioning whether you're a "child rapist".

    Like wtf. Things like this ruin careers and ruin peoples lives entirely. And all because Musk is upset that other people ended up rescuing the children and not his submarines? He can't even just be happy they were saved and move on?

    What a fucking asshole.
    Musk is undeniably a pretentious and egotistical asshole, but in his defense the guy he attacked started it.

    For example, Tesla. Where does it get electricity from? World wide there is still a huge power problem. It likely comes from coal plants, which are heavily polluting the planet. So you might feel like you're doing something good driving a Tesla but it's mostly imaginary. It's all a hype. We first need to solve the power problem. After that we can have electric cars, sure.
    But a bunch of solar panels and windmills aren't going to deliver the amount of power we need. Only nuclear power can deliver that, thorium reactors or hopefully nuclear fusion. Or something even beyond that, but that's radical thinking. But right now Tesla isn't solving any problems, it's only a hype that doesn't deliver.
    "The Union of Concerned Scientists did the best and most rigorous assessment of the carbon footprint of Tesla's and other electric vehicles vs internal combustion vehicles including hybrids. They found that the manufacturing of a full-sized Tesla Model S rear-wheel drive car with an 85 KWH battery was equivalent to a full-sized internal combustion car except for the battery, which added 15% or one metric ton of CO2 emissions to the total manufacturing.


    However, they found that this was trivial compared to the emissions avoided due to not burning fossil fuels to move the car. Before anyone says "But electricity is generated from coal!", they took that into account too, and it's included in the 53% overall reduction
    ."

    Maybe take two minutes to do your own research instead of making unsubstantiated claims.

    Media hurt themselves more than Elon with this crap.

    I mean read this crap. Stuff like this all over the place. Pure garbage.

    Happy people don't do drugs. Smart or otherwise.
    Happy people don't do drugs? You've never taken a painkiller? Never drank a coffee, or enjoyed a beer? Happiness and your consumption of drugs are not mutually exclusive, your post shows hilarious inexperience and naivety.

    Good. It was very unprofessional. Someone like him shouldn't be taking drugs; especially weed which is popular among losers, I find.
