    Elon Musk would still own an enormous portion of Tesla, so if you want Elon to be punished you should never forgive Tesla for enabling Musk

      As of February 28, 2025, Elon Musk owns approximately 12.8% of Tesla.

      12.8% is not an enormous portion. It’s shocking how easily people spread misinformation.

          It’s a 100% Nazi bar. If you’ve got a bar that allows one openly Nazi patron, then you’ve got a 100% Nazi bar.

            Maybe it’s because Mr. Controversial Gesture, alias Sir The Nazis Were Actually Leftists aka Dr. Only The AfD Can Save Germany rivals only Ford in his open support of fasism? You know, Henry Ford, the guy Adolf Hitler called “a great man”?

        He owns over 410 million shares and is the largest single shareholder. That is an enormous amount

          It’s under 13% so while he’s the largest single owner, he still doesn’t own an enormous amount. He could easily be bought out.

              For a publicly traded company? Yes that’s an enormous amount in that context.

              Isn’t it?

              I don’t know what the threshold would be… but it would have to be over 50%. If I own 13% of my house, I wouldn’t say I own an enormous amount. I would I own 1/8th my house, which is pretty meagre.

                Your house isn’t a publicly traded company. That makes a big difference in this context.

                  Only if you really want it to be different is it different. The reality is, it’s not. Words have meaning and 1/8th is not enormous. It’s literally a small fraction of the total.

      Meh. The only possible reason to keep accumulating after a billion is for respect and power. I’m pretty sure Elon has fucked up both to the point where most of his money gets him nothing. I’m pretty sure he is headed to a “death of despair” type ending before long.

          It’s pretty hard to OD on ketamine unless you’ve got someone literally injecting your unconscious, k-holed body. There’s a reason why they use it as anesthesia for children, it’s extremely well tolerated.

        I feel so bad for him

        Don’t despair Muskquito, people make new friends all the time, even entirely unlikable video game cheaters. There is a nonzero chance you might not die entirely alone. Don’t let the haters following logical trajectories get you down!
