    "The Mad, Magical, Megalomaniac Messiah"
    Whilst I need to do a bit more "information gathering", though from what I've got so far is in short - for me - the man is one - of selective few whose interellect is such that puts him on the fence of Crazy and Genius.
    Having someone with such Power Wealth and Drive for "..what he thinks is best for alI" .
    His ultimate desire?

    • Watching the (UK) BBC documentary on him: -
    BBC iPlayer - The Elon Musk Show
    - Described as "A look behind the headlines to delve into the life of flamboyant, on/off richest man in the world, Tesla billionaire and space pioneer Elon Musk. Includes interviews with those who've worked with him, and those who've gone to war with his companies."
    It gives an insight into someone who comes under the category of 'a Dangerous saviour'
    Like anyone or thing with a mindset of complex calculation, "Mis-understood"; though perhaps accurate, seems too simplistic in its observation and descriptive in it's assessment

    A child dies of hunger or preventable disease every six seconds; 3.1 million children a year.
    All billionaires are villains.

    Two sides to a story?
    Twitter co-founder and ex-CEO Jack Dorsey has addressed the mass sackings at his former firm "I own the responsibility for why everyone is in this situation: I grew the company size too quickly. I apologize for that."
    • The company's workforce as the firm is losing more than $4m (£3.5m) a day.
    There lies the question = Heartless, or Responsible decision?

    Anyone who can take down Twitter is a hero to me, haha. Next is Zuckerberg taking down Facebook.

    If there's one thing I've learned from running social networks, you don't fuck with success or the people who made it successful.

    Interesting how quickly they can spit out a bunch of employees.....just goes to show you, in big companies, there's always a big list of employees and their rankings, top to bottom.

    Pretty decent exit packages for US employees.....any other company, you might get a few weeks pay and your health insurance runs out at the end of them month.....seeya!!

    He's taken over Twitter. And if the conspiracy theory he circulated about Paul Pelosi and assaulter is an indication, not for the better!

    He tweeted that we should vote Retrumplican to counterbalance Biden, a Democrat. An intellect like that puts him on the fence of Evil and Stupid.

    Let's see, operating a company, mostly at a loss since its inception, a sky high PE ratio, developing a product that depends on an unsustainable component, lithium, to a market that cannot sustain its products since they cannot keep the lights on today....we won't even mention him pissing away piles of money on his pet little projects. Seems all he is successful at is burning daddy's money. His share holders should run him out on a rail.

    Just wait until the FTC and all the other lawsuits catch up with him...

    Or did you not hear?

    I also understand he fired all the key programmers and engineers. Then had to hastily call them back as the damned system is so jury-rigged and wonky it needs a complete overhaul...

    Patch upon patch over years leads to many problems.... at some point one must simply bite the bullet and upgrade.

    As to the astrology of it all, he did purchase that under a cloud of bad planetary aspects.
