Possibly.
But also maybe not.
You have absolutely no idea.

I will say alternative pronouns are a bit silly.
It's great if you identify as a woman so use she/her.
To use they/them isn't logical and confusing for common conversations.

Tesla is a dinosaur, Musk knows it
Recent successes at Tesla (whatever that is) is in spite of Elon; not because of him. He gave up running Tesla once he was done naming the models S, 3, X, Y. I’m friends with many Tesla employees and Tesla owners (a sizable Venn intersection). He’s using the company as an ATM to fund his other hare-brained ideas. Just because he used his PayPal $$ to fund Tesla (Elon WAS NOT a Tesla founder, no matter how much he wants to create the impression) he thinks it’s a rinse-lather-repeat algorithm.
And since he bought tesla it has become a trillion dollar company in spite of him?
What part of “recent successes” is confusing? It’s not a trillion dollar company no matter what you hear in the right wing echo chamber. The fact is that Tesla Motors has LOST nearly $1 trillion of market cap THIS YEAR, since April. Primarily one person is responsible for that.

I probably know more people than you that have worked there. The way they describe it, it sounds like it was overloaded with unnecessary staff.

No you don't.
I used to work in advertising - we had a Twitter team - actually multiple Twitter teams.
You, as usual, are making things up.

I guess I have a habit of "making things up", like the Hunter Laptop and the warning that the shots would not work.

If someone wants to identify as a woman but was originally born a man and uses she/her, who cares.
As long as it's introduced in an understanding way if there was an initial mistake, then great, I can remember that now.

Plural pronouns for individuals is just stupid.

Markos is about as liberal as they come. But he’s not wrong.

The left hates him. Because he isn't a leftist extremist.

"Either you're with me or you're my enemy"
"Only a sith deals in absolutes"
The left is the sith
What exactly is this good thing Elon is attempting to do?
"The left" as a whole doesn't hate him. Some on the left hate him because he's brainwashing the easily brainwash-able people.
What''s pathetic to me is that you accuse "the left" of being "the Sith" without realizing you're a sith yourself.
Hes exposing evidence of what people already believed. So it makes no sense to say he's brainwashing anyone.

The brainwashed group is the people that followed every little thing fauci and the covid cult said
Got it. He's attempting to expose evidence of what people already believed. Seems tired/redundant to me but it's his prerogative. I guess that's good for some people but frankly I don't need nor want Elon Musk to be my lord and savior.

Makes a lot of sense - that he's trying to brainwash people into believing he has something that he doesn't. You and I can embellish the truth (or even lie) and convince people of a lot of things.

In regards to Fauci, I have no doubt he's made mistakes but I would rather fall in to a category of being brainwashed by someone who is an expert in a particular field than be brainwashed by dumbfucks who don't believe in science and proven facts. That's just me. I know others feel differently.

In nearly 20 years of posting on the different versions of this board, this thread and its sister threads are rock bottom for the board. The same people saying the same stupid shit and fighting the same fights on different threads on every single board. It is astounding. I guess there is no way to filter the dumbassery to one place.
