[Politics] Musk (real life Bond villain planning world domination) needs a thread.

Musk backtracking now pretending it was just a ruse after various departments told their employees not to comply with the order which exposed his impotence. He's obviously feeling a little humiliated to be coming out with this desperate explanation, which is humiliating in itself.

Elon Musk admits email to government workers was a ruse

Department of Government Efficiency head says he wants to test whether federal employees are ‘capable of replying to an email’

It was just a joke people. A joke. Laugh!

I saw this and wasn't sure if it was real. Tesla really is becoming a very toxic brand.

I think all EV sales are down.

We don’t have the infrastructure for them.

A friend of mine recently gave back his electric car.

I’m trying to get rid of my electric motorbike. It’s a total money pit. Beautiful looking thing but next to useless and cost a fortune to get road legal.

Range anxiety is real too!


Oh well. Go back and start again .

Like Trump he is a bully when it comes to business hence the email, however taking on the federal government service is not the same as taking on a business. When the various Departments sent out emails saying ignore his email they effectively said ’f*ck off Musk’. Now his normal reaction would be to sack everyone but in this case he can’t, hence his ‘it was a ruse’ comment.

He reminds me of (P)Rick from the Young Ones, only not as likeable.

The link in the post above yours says EV sales are UP 37% YoY.

Ah,I am wrong. Fairs fair.

Glad to be so.

EV is the way forward and Musk is a ****. So I’m happy with that.

Indeed.
A personality is one thing that money can't buy.

I have an EV, gets me to the Amex and back (250 miles), parking at Lewes station costs me more than the charging.

I very rarely need public chargers, I used a 150kw one of the M6. Very good but pricey

My Audi Q4 has a range of 250 miles, which IS a little bit rubbish, but as i have got used to it, doesn't actually have any real impact other than on rare occasions.

I did have to resort to a Tesla supercharger the other day though, to get me home from business in Derby - which made me feel a little bit dirty. I'll try not to do it again.
