The tweet didn’t go unobserved by avid Twitter user and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. “Starts with a T. Ends with an A. ESL in the middle,” he replied.

At every opportunity, Biden hails progress Ford and GM have made toward fielding an electric fleet. But his ongoing and obvious snubs of Tesla -- a source of mild intrigue within the administration -- have sparked increasingly exasperated public reactions from Musk, the world’s wealthiest person and the CEO of both Tesla and SpaceX, which has government contracts with NASA and the U.S. military.



America needs to vote these Democratic loons out!!!
:lol: So let me see if understand what you're whining about today: Elon Musk isn't getting enough attention.

That's the gripe? Elon needs a hug?

Dude. Why do you go to such lenghts----Dems are bad. Just type that. Stop acting like there's anything else under your hat, Pete.



Why did Joe hesitate recognizing the single most important electric car manufacturer and environmental helper in the world? What’s his problem? Why are Democratic politicians so hypocritical?

... Musk is neither. :roll: He won't be an automotive company, by the time 2027 rolls around he will have sold out to a real automotive company, for the value of the government regulatory credits on his balance sheet. This has always been his game plan. Whatever helping of the world's environment you credit Musk with, is really the doing of the US and foreign governments. :lol: :lol:

Yes, 6th most valuable US company after an over 700% growth in market cap in 2020 though the car part of their business is likely not what is actually being valued so extremely high.

The actual car part is #1 in the world in EV currently, but with 21% of EV market share...that may grow a bit in the next couple of years, but the rest of the incumbent automative industry is now rapidly accelerating their investments in this sector. The sector tripled in 2020 and 2021 and is expected to get to about 20% of the overall automotive market in 2022. That's going to continue to grow at a rapid clip so being the leader is indeed highly valued. But there are serious players with other advantages which will surely be competitive.

We're seeing an explosion of EV here in the US and around the world, so I think we'll eventually see Tesla's market share (units and $) drop precipitously, while still growing sales (units and $) overall.

Tesla's market cap has dropped by 30% in the past 5-6 months.

I don't know about the prediction of being acquired/merging, but the extreme value (multiples) is likely in batteries more than the actual car business. That said, I also think that Tesla's focus on data acquisition and exploitation could be the most exciting aspect of the business...they haven't really cracked the autonomous vehicle challenge (yet) but as they do, the data around that could be transformative as well.

Very innovative group. Musk is no doubt a tremendous entrepreneur, value creator.

A jerk nevertheless.

Musk loses money on his car sales -- without the regulatory credits -- he is a loser. Governments are going to stop giving these credits over the next few years, he will have to start making money without these credits. Volkswagen Group will pass them in EV units sold in 12-18 months. In general Asia and Europe are already selling more units than we are in the US with a larger number of participants.

My report from the trenches of the war for saving the planet. Roxy and i went for a 45 minute stroll this morning. We may be heading on the right track. I only picked up a half of bag of garbage this morning. That means that when all you sanctimonious environmental freaks want to ride your bikes down the trail this morning, good chance you won't slit your tire on a piece of broken glass from a booze bottle tossed out of a passing car... your all very welcome... ;)

Why do I know that suddenly Doc 72s hair just became the victim of spontaneous combustion. You post an article from that heretic Lord Moncton. 😅 BTW there is an article about the mountains of trash on the inner loop in Rochester NY I am going to post. Maybe Doc 72 may rethink who we are saving the planet for?
https://www.newskudo.com/new-york/roche ... being-done

Maybe the good doctor can take a weekend off and get his veal soft hands dirty actually doing something POSITIVE for the planet he loves. How much trash has the good doctor actually picked up with his elitist FLP fingertips??? The world will never know. I forget, actually picking up garbage is waaaaaaay beneath his paygrade. What he does best is lecture all of of us to make a better world for himself. I pick up more trash in a week than his fancy pants liberal ass will ever pick up in his lifetime.

+1, I pick up a bag of trash every morning when Roxy and i go for our walk. George Carlin hit the nail on the head when he said when he said these elitist environmental cretins just wanted to guarantee clean bike paths that they can ride on. If i scarf down faux burgers and drive an electric car and put solar panels on the southern exposure of my roof the planet will be saved. The earth will do what it wants, where it wants, when it wants and how it wants. If the dumb ass environmental freak circus "invests" a 100 trillion dollars in other peoples money to save the planet, nothing will change, the freak circus will guarantee they have clean bike trails to ride on... just watch out for trains.

Nope, I stand by my opinion that Musk is a jerk.
Far as I know that has nothing to do with Aspergers, though, sure it could contribute to some of his quirkiness and social awkwardness. And maybe something to do with his genius as well.

But it's not an excuse for actually being a jerk, which lots of folks with Aspergers certainly are not.

If you know that not to be the case, feel free to illuminate us. I'm definitely no expert, though I do have experience with folks 'on the spectrum'.

Nice window in to you soul. From your article....seems you are no different, maybe you have it? ;) "Apparently, Asperger’s syndrome means never having to say you’re sorry."

Seriously, yet another personal attack is all you have to add?
I don't think Musk is a jerk because he has Asbergers, nor do I give him a pass because he's on the spectrum. Rather, I think he's a jerk because of some of his fully considered value judgments, not any social awkwardness issues...which don't bother me in the slightest.

If you disagree, why?
Come on, you must have an actual original opinion and reason for same...
