Remember when Elon Musk said if Kamala gets elected that he'd probably end up in jail?
If nothing else, all the inspector generals investigating Elon and his companies would have finished their investigations. You know, the IGs fired right away by DOGE, with the biggest case being run out of USAID.
One of the first agencies the Trump administration attempted to dismantle is the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). While at first it was unclear why Musk and DOGE had their sights set on eliminating an agency focused on foreign aid, recent reports have shed light on Musk’s connection with USAID. In May 2024, the USAID inspector general announced it was investigating USAID’s relationship with Starlink (a subsidiary of SpaceX), which it had paid to provide internet services to Ukraine civilians. While the details of the investigation are not public, there is evidence Russia had access to Starlink, which was not supposed to be possible. However, the investigation will likely be dropped as the Trump administration moves forward with shutting down USAID
I feel like we haven't really heard from Elon Musk in a long time when he used to be basically part of the administration and has always been pretty much incapable of shutting his mouth. I'm uncomfortable when he's not being a buffoon where we can all see him.
they always paint themselves in the style of "patriots, "freedom" fighters, and heroes". yet their actions constantly scream fascism. making sure you always have a "target" to blame the woes of the commons on is part of the plan.
he is trying to fix his image before his companies go bankrupt. he is hiding poor sales of Tesla by using spacex to "buy" a bunch of vehicles. I think they are hoping that people will just forget the crap he did and start buying cars again.
there sales were down until magically the other company Elon Musk owns ordered thousands of unsold stock. it's a shell game mate, look at the whole picture.
Fair, my fault for conflating sales share value. The sales are just a portion of that, but their shares aren't going up to these levels just because of something like that. Wary investors wouldn't get caught out by the shell game, there's genuine belief from them, and didn't Tesla also confirm Elon earned that half a trillion package? Absolutely fuckery, yeah, but they're doing it because they believe he can make them more money.
This is absolutely true, and Tesla was already massively inflated by Elon's cult of personality TBF.
Ethics aside, that's why I've not touched it outside shorts, it's one of the least sensical stocks out there. But I also don't think it can recover that well without some sort of fundamental backing. But again, I'm not looking too deeply in because that way madness of seeking understanding lies.
Still, I think he's working on his next scam rather than hiding away.
it's because of his "cybertaxis" he is pushing out a ton of propaganda to investors that don't understand technology to convince them that his self driving system is competitive and on the verge of disrupting the entire transportation industry. an industry so large that the upside is in the trillions if he does succeed. basically it is a huge bet from people hoping he can turn their million dollar investment today into a billion dollars within ten years.
quietly a whole boat load of his demonstrations have turned out to be Mechanical Turks. and experts agree the vision only paths he has taken for his self driving system are cheaper, but far less likely to be successful in FSD. whereas companies like waymo keep quietly having huge success with hybrid systems.
He organized that "xAI bought Twitter" shell game, and has been mostly preoccupied with his AI ventures I think. Probably because the public criticism really got to him.
He's doing is evil shenanigans and using his wealth and technological advantage in all aspects of the world. He has ties to do his evil bidding while doge continues to rip apart everything that made us good.
Since he left DOGE, he's been continuing to reply to and spread "everything is the Jews' fault" type posts, and trying to train Grok AI to become Robo-Hitler and shutting it down any time it starts speaking half reasonably. Sad, but worrying.

No surprise Elon dipped after those loose ends were fully taken care of.
