Someone please tell me that if we stop Trump, Musk shouts NO IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN THIS WAY! and then spontaneously, melts, or shatters like glass, or gets swallowed up by a chasm, or eaten by hyenas.

And then every cybertruck, every tesla, every Spacex capsule and every Starlink satellite simultaneously turns into magic dust before evaporating into nothing.

Almost 100% onboard. The exception is SpaceX.

Obviously I don't know the exact specifics of how they're successful and I don't care.

Leave SpaceX out as the "black sheep", even though they should be the "golden child".

I wish SpaceX continued success and a future of good luck.

SpaceX deserves a CEO who isn't a complete disaster and enemy of the state.

It has Gwynne Shotwell, and she generally does quite well at managing Musk's impact.

[–] vanontom@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Indeed. She must be keeping very busy. I haven't read much about her in a while (since she publicly defended him from sex scandals).

I wonder how she really feels about his spiralling mental illnesses and tragic obsessions (social media, conspiracies, politics). He seems quite useless and irrelevant to any business decisions these days. Just another investor to keep happy.

Imagine how much better the company would be if she didn't have to burn so much of her time and effort on managing and mitigating Musk's chaos.

I think Tesla could also be a company driving positive change if he wasn't cutting costs and pushing stupid products

[–] Munkisquisher@lemmy.nz 6 points 3 weeks ago

It can be successful with Musk. Would love to see it separated from him

Ready or Not rules: If trump doesn't win in november then Musk and his entire empire explodes.

He will get eaten by hyenas, his investors, and then put in a cell.
