Dude can’t build cars that don’t fall apart when they get wet, and can’t build a truck that doesn’t fall apart for uh, existing, and we’re supposed to let him stick stuff in our brains?
Let’s not forget an important distinction here. This man is not making any of these things, and he isn’t capable of making them. But, he is capable of directly and indirectly impacting the people who are capable of making them negatively enough that we get utter failures like the cybertruck.
Oh for sure: Musk can barely make a shitpost on Twitter, let alone actually do anything else.
But, conversely, he’s in a position to dictate culture and policy and direction and that’s led to shitty cars and whatever the fuck is going on at Twitter.
Aaaand yes, past performance is not a predictor for future outcomes, but uh, somehow I don’t think it’s irrelevant either.
I ignored SpaceX because as far as things go, they’re pretty successful. Rockets blowing up and crashing during testing is pretty much just… a thing rockets do.
(And Shotwell is in charge far more than Spaceman Musk.)

No, thanks, but no.

Don’t give him more credit than he deserves.

Banks should have listened to this when he wanted a loan to buy twitter.
Why are you saying “No, thanks, but no” when you could be saying “FUCK NO! GET OUTTA HERE WITH THE GARBAGE!”
You can even add a jersy accient if you want to be extra fun in your telling elon to fuck off.
I’d prefer a more New Yorker ‘HEY! My brain is working fine over here!’, personally.
AY! I’M THINKIN’ 'ERE!!!
Or rocket launch pads that don’t break the rocket launching/get destroyed on launch

It’s more the issues and failures happen a lot more as soon as musk gets involved. Like the starship launchpad failure
He won’t ask you.
