Yeah, I don't quite understand his change unless he plans to run for office because one of his biggest companies, Tesla, tends to lean heavily on left leaning consumers.

This is why companies need to stay out of politics.

I have a theory that his son going trans and becoming a woman is what is driving it as he seems very angry about that.

I pointed it out in another thread. Congress removing funding from EV would actually help Tesla. the grants, tax benefits, etc are the only things keeping big car in the EV business, because they aren't selling.

with his quality, name recognition, and market share, Tesla can probably survive without government help. it started out that way. may take some hair cuts, but shouldn't be an issue.

I used to be more supportive of Musk on a personal/political level, until he turned into a big hypocrite on several things. Probably is spending too much time with politicians.

I can agree with him pushing for Republicans but vocally, he could be isolating his consumer base which probably leans left. So basically, he should have been more discreet with his politics. Kind of like Disney and Bud Light. All three are tards for getting too heavy into politics.

I don’t really know anything about anti-trust law but isn’t there a requirement that the collusion be an attempt to secure a monopoly? Do the emails support that?

Edit: nevermind. Thread seems to have missed a left turn at Albuquerque. 😂

IDK I haven't been able to find the actual emails the congressional committee obtained, just your normal comments about them supplied by committee members. That's why I said "if they exist"

😂 Now in this particular case, I don’t know if what they did was a violation of antitrust laws or not and said so in another post. Now do you want to step away from the ledge and quit making yourself look stupid? I can posy more from the FTC that covers different collusion scenarios If I need to.



Refusal to Supply

Look it SpEd, you need to read your own links:

"In general, a seller has the right to choose its business partners. A firm's refusal to deal with any other person or company is lawful so long as the refusal is not the product of an anticompetitive agreement with other firms or part of a predatory or exclusionary strategy to acquire or maintain a monopoly. This principle was laid out by the Supreme Court more than 85 years ago."

Explain how the sued entities violated its right to choose its business partners.

I like a lot of what Elon has accomplished - especially SpaceX. Unfortunately, he's now become more of a ****-stirrer than anything. Just a strange dude.

It can be tough being both hyper-intelligent and hyper wealthy. You get into that general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. I can't confirm if he's ever been to Rangoon and made helmets of meat or claimed to have invented the question mark but I have it on good authority he has accused chestnuts of being lazy.

Haha, you think? She's trans and her Dad is anti-trans. He literally said she was "killed by the woke mind virus." which is probably a hard thing to hear from your Dad speaking publicly about your choices.

Musk's weird little psychofant followers message her with pictures of her as a little boy with Musk saying he's a great Dad, and weird **** like that.

People have Daddy issues over getting ignored. Imagine this relationship

That's what I am saying. He's not a good father. The child is having / will have issues related to his dereliction of duty as a dad.

Honestly, Elon strikes me as academically intelligent, super nerdy, but also somewhat autistic.

He said he's on the spectrum. I can believe it but not sure if I do. Obviously, this is my experience, but it feels like autistic people have trouble not telling the truth...like they can't help but tell it how it is....and that's not Elon. But he certainly has trouble understanding people and social norms.

The family **** is sad all the way around. Feel bad for him and her.
