Elon Musk

Yang and Amash showing up in replies to his "we need a moderate party" tweet like "yes sir, reporting for duty sir"...is there a word for when you're both a con artist and a mark?

pathetic thing about this country is a "moderate" party would probably be left of where the Dems currently stand

twitter abhors a main character vacuum and once trump got the boot it was inevitable someone would take his place as the ultimate main character

otm but what grates is he's doing it so deliberately. trump wouldn't have a clue what "the main character on twitter" means to his credit

I like "smark" lol

I will never forgive the media for trying to make this guy look like some kind of brilliant visionary like Thomas Edison

btw if you were wondering what the "woke mind virus" is, it's unions and the people who sue Elon Musk for being a gigantic racist:

NEW: Elon Musk says he’ll vote for Republicans this year because “the Democratic Party is overly controlled by the unions and…class-action lawyers.”

Musk is a notorious union-buster & was hit with a class-action lawsuit from 1k Black workers who alleged rampant racism at Tesla. pic.twitter.com/2SEUBTgDXm

is there a home rapid test for the woke mind virus? i dont want to needlessly expose anyone and be the reason we dont get to mars

fortunately, there is. all true conservative patriots are encouraged to take the test to ensure that they 100% non-woke mind virus. it involves ball tanning

thomas edison was a far more ruthless operator than even musk! but at least "his" inventions were useful

You say that but I’ve never heard an incandescent lightbulb fart

Twitter execs reassured workers in a meeting today the sale to Elon Musk is going through unchanged -- there are provisions in the contract that can be enforced to ensure this outcome. Immediately after, Musk memes about Twitter being 'all bots'https://t.co/hwsmDett9o

Just received verbal govt approval for The Boring Company to build an underground NY-Phil-Balt-DC Hyperloop. NY-DC in 29 mins.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 20, 2017

"verbal govt approval" = he was jabbering about it to a member of Congress at a coke orgy and the guy said "sure, sure, sounds awesome, keep me posted"

And there's nothing those states & DC can do about it

A SpaceX flight attendant said Elon Musk exposed himself and propositioned her for sex, documents show. The company paid $250,000 for her silence. https://t.co/5plOiNJOW5 via @businessinsider

gee now we know what this was about

In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party.

But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican.

Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold … 🍿

After Insider contacted Musk for comment, he emailed to ask for more time to respond and said there is "a lot more to this story."

"If I were inclined to engage in sexual harassment, this is unlikely to be the first time in my entire 30-year career that it comes to light," he wrote, calling the story is a "politically motivated hit piece."

"please don't dig any further into my 30-year career," added musk

this guy is gonna make this all so much worse isn't he

For those interested, we reached out to the principals for comment regarding this story at ~9 a.m. eastern yesterday (Wednesday May 18).

FYI - Twitter is currently at $36 per share, if he’s forced to pay 150% of its value for being a giant dumbass it would be the first time he actually made me laugh

I laughed when Azealia Banks called him Apartheid Clyde.

"politically motivated hit piece"

But you're not a politician... are you??

“But actually” and “your” feel very trumpy.

To be clear, I’m spending <5% (but actually) of my time on the Twitter acquisition. It ain’t rocket science!

Yesterday was Giga Texas, today is Starbase. Tesla is on my mind 24/7.

The attacks against me should be viewed through a political lens – this is their standard (despicable) playbook – but nothing will deter me from fighting for a good future and your right to free speech

Elonald Skump

rotting conjoined twin corpse on groin?

I was trying to come up with something but I don't think I can top that

I see this and…

And there it is: Musk can now be sued for defamation by the woman he has just publicly called a liar—after paying her to not sue him. It would appear he has broken his non-disparagement agreement.

I think this story is going to get very, very interesting over the next few weeks. pic.twitter.com/PQkKse4P49

i was JUST wondering if the agreement had a clause like that but does seth abramson know?

No idea, I assumed he was referring to the nda, am guessing Musk is also prohibited from discussing her as she is him? But I know nearly nothing about how they work.

if she does choose to sue she shd definitely avoid hiring lin wood, "attorney and conspiracy theorist": unsworth deciding on wood to represent him was a bad move

seth abramson is a legendary idiot so may very well be wrong abt this but i have seen others saying musk has broken the terms of the nda

I would imagine any court would invalidate an NDA based on the party who asked for it publicly calling the other party a liar?

Even if Musk did break the NDA it would be suicidal for the victim to press forward here so it seems highly irrelevant. Just a grifter trying to keep his tweets in the trending box.

feel like we’re about to see an avalanche of “no way ol Lonnie Musk wriggles his way out of this one” takes

anyway, heaven help that port walk an when her name gets out

*help that poor woman

again haven't looked into it but he's talking about non-disparagement not NDA (non-disclosure)

if there is one she might not need to sue, sometimes they include what the damages would be in the event of a breach. maybe seth abramson can fill us in since he is allegedly a lawyer but he doesn't appear to understand that this is different from suing for defamation. which would be independent of there being a pre-existing non-disparagement clause.

she was a Space X flight attendant, so maybe signed an NDA on day 1? Like "Elon's probably gonna show you his little rocket at some point, so please sign right here!"

tesla down another 10% today

In 2015 I decided on a whim to check out Tesla's battery swap station that was earning the company 9 figures in California ZEV credits, and found it wasn't real. Instead Tesla was using diesel generators to charge cars. Here's how this changed my life 🧵

"And that's okay"

i have been wondering about this. seems to mean tesla is not reporting safety issues to NHTSA, which is very legal and very cool.

A year later I found another big cockroach: Tesla was hiding defects by requiring customers sign NDAs in exchange for free repairs. This cut off the auto safety regulator's only independent source of information about defects. This led to a couple of important lessons...

yeah teslas habitual rule breakers but the fines are such mickey mouse shit that they dont care, guys seems to be saying that musk is more vulnerable personally

hes been covering tesla for years from the business/tech perspective but is now for the first time at least since ive been following him saying that musks got plenty of skeletons in his closet that shouldnt be too hard to expose, and that hes particularly vulnerable since none of his companies are actually profitable, his success is based on a cult of personality, its a celebrity story, jeff bezos for instance is a lot more protected since amazons success is based on actually making a ton of money
