This results in me trusting Tesla less.

If this was fake, how do we know the robovans were not remotely operated? They might as well be too to get the stock price up?

There is no way to know. I am really doubting Tesla now. It wouldn’t surprise me that, in order to prevent mishaps during the event, everything is remotely operated…

People will say: that’s not true. But where did Tesla clearly specify this upfront?

I saw the initial fullscreen disclaimer. But that might also apply to the robovans right?

After reading the Isaacson biography, it’s clear to me Elon is not a stable or trustworthy person. The evidence continues to mount.

after reading the actual words he writes himself and publishes them for the world to see I came to the same conclusion

When people tell you who they are, listen.

I find this thread disturbing, and with 0 examples as to why you guys think that about him. Like what are these things he's written and said.

Do you think you look convincing, trying to pretend you're not aware of Elon Musk's reputation?

He's literally the richest person on Earth. It's as if you're pretending you don't know what Santa Claus is about.

I've heard of Santa Claus, but what does he do exactly?

Elon Musk was insulted over the internet by an emergency worker during a deadly rescue of children trapped in a flooded cave, and he responded by accusing the rescue worker of pedophelia. Elon doubled down repeatedly on the claim, such as by later clarifying that by pedophile he meant sex with young Thai boys.

He also hired an investigator to try and find any dirt on the rescue worker. Now he says this is just his way of having fun.

Anyways, you mentioned something about being disturbed. Please do continue.

There are literally dozens of examples, but not a single one will dissuade you from your pearl clutching behaviour when your bff billionaire needs defending.

Let me translate it for Musk fans. He repeatedly tried to ruin a life of a hero, because he felt insulted. Its also fun.

I know who he is, what are you going on about? Why don't you give me some examples of why you think he's a bad person?

at this point there has to be some assumption that the confusion on your side lies in that all the rest of us think demonstrate that he is a "bad person" are things that you think makes him a "good person", so there is probably no point in supplying them
