politics

As he should be. All billionaires should be afraid.

I'm almost certain that he has been ordered by his board of directors to get back to work, or be removed as CEO of Tesla.

There is almost certainly a shareholder class-action suit brewing over his reckless and irresponsible behavior over the last several months, which has directly caused severe, and possibly irreparable, damage to the company's brand image AND it's sales around the world, as well as tanking the stock price, an unforgiveable sin in the investing world. Now that the bubble has popped, it will never inflate again. As future earnings reports are released, and sales continue to slide, the stock will continue to decline, and the cycle will continue until bankruptcy. And it is all traceable to Skum's self-indulgent, egotistical behavior.

The only question is will Skum be the only defendant, or will the lawsuit also name the individual members of the board, for not reigning him in, or firing him. They don't want to be sued alongside him, so they are forcing him to get back to work saving Tesla, thus letting them off the hook for legal liability.

Its doubtful Skum will be able to save Tesla at this point, its almost certainly too late. It is also probably too late to avoid a shareholder lawsuit. Investors have lost millions of dollars, not due to the vagaries of the market, but due to Skum's outrageous behavior, which, as CEO, he should have realized would damage his company and its investors significantly.

And arguing that he didn't recognize the danger in advance is no excuse at all for a CEO, who should have been able to predict the response to his self-indulgent ego bender.

Shareholders have lost many millions, and they won't just let that go with an "Oh well." He's likely going to get sued, and the board is just making sure they don't go down with him.

I think he means "tired of the pushback and profit loss from actively bribing the system into becoming the shadow POTUS running the world behind the scenes".

How else could he attempt to advance to Mars Colonization, his lifelong dream as someone with a God-Iron-Man-Savior complex, during his lifetime?

He knows with the current progress rate he could help pave the way to Mars for humanity, but not live the dream himself, or take full credit for that achievement. And we know just how "selfless" he is.

You hear that guys? It's working; keep it up.

You keep pressing it until it hurts, then you know where to look.

Wait, when did he enter into politics? All I see is him buying power?

We aren't letting up. Musk is hated, like every Nazi.

Lol. U mad bro? If you can't take the heat...

Oh, he won't leave. I don't believe it for a second. There's too much money and power. He is going to milk the insider connections for as long as he can. But he might adjust his position to try to get the pressure shifted to others.

Lots of people would like to "leave politics", as they find themselves under "vicious and unethical attacks" by politicians. However, those people's political existence was forced upon them, they didn't want to be a "political" object, especially not in the current landscape.

Musk instead took up his political role consciously, and used it to further attack and harm many who would prefer to be left in peace. He had the luxury to activate himself, commit far worse violence upon the people than he has been subjected to by the people, and when he realises he doesn't really like it, even though the issues he's facing are probably comparatively trivial, he (believes he) has the luxury to return to a more secluded, safe position.

It's really quite disgusting. And I fear he'll get away with it. But I am at least satisfied that his story (a supposed tech guru with his marketing bullshit and his comically immature behaviour) has damaged much of the aura of the modern technocapitalist elite.

He already gave himself backdoor access to everything. Don't believe he's really gone.

He's gonna come back like a ransomware hacker, threatening to delete whole systems unless he gets what he wants.

the "mythical left" that he and the right wingers keeps fantasizing about think it exists in the us.

Still hope your businesses all get destroyed.

Bye! Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

He's not leaving politics, he's at most changing vector. From being visible, to working more in the shadows.

He realized that he pissed off the people that were buying his cars. Sorry my dude, this is your identity now. We will not forget.

"The left is attacking me."

What a pussy.

Call yourself Dark Maga. Cry and run when the heat gets hot.

Pussy.

Shit, he could do us all a favor and leave life.

Any chance he got all the data and access that he actually wanted, so now he's good?

I wish.

He’s running because Trump is getting tired of him and he achieved his strategic goals of removing business regulation hurdles.

Blaming attacks from the left makes him look like a victim and play up the “evil leftists” angle so they can attack them more, while giving him a “safe” out.

[Gives Nazi salute.]

"Why are people attacking me? They must hate efficiency."

Whether he stays or goes, he'll still be a cunt.

Good next leave the country.

Get fucked musk for the rest of your days.

When he dies, I hope they at least do me the courtesy of marking the ditch they dump his body in so I know where to piss.

To be fair, from where he’s sitting, everyone is to the left, and any sane opinion is an attack on his point of view.

Is this his planned escape route after he's already gutted and skullfucked government programs that benefit lower income and working class people, environment, etc? Also after he's redirected government funding, tax money, to his businesses?

I'm not saying I have evidence there's truth to this, but I wouldn't be surprised. If he does go away, much of the public will forget really quickly. His shittiness and his obvious nazi salutes should never be forgotten.
