This is so weird, did he miscalculate how intense the backlash would be? or he truly doesn't care?

Man has bigger ambitions. Teslas were just a stepping stone to whatever he's unleashing on the world now from the White House.

Or he's completely deranged and the drugs have irreversibly damaged his mind. Both scenarios, or some intersection therein, are plausible.

His Tesla stock is personally levered. I don't know at what point he gets margin called, but a sharp drawdown in Tesla's stock price could force him to sell stock in his crown jewel, SpaceX. (Or just extract money from it somehow. Either way, diminish it.)

Which is why X's investors re-valued X to $44bn recently even though just last September Fidelity valued it at $10bn. Seem to recall Trump's friends the Saudi's are big investors. Sure seems like billionaire deep state stuff when you get financially rewarded for your proximity to the prez.
