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

To me, it's pretty funny. It's like we're being told "hey, don't worry, this is the world's smartest guy, and he's going to, in a heartbeat, examine every dollar of spending and tell us what to cut. And oh yeah, he didn't anticipate that Tesla might be hurt by his actions."

back to when exactly? Let's remember for a moment his behaviour with the Thai cave episode, he wasn't any better.

Thing is, people just put up stupid stickers about purchasing their Teslas before he went nuts, but he has never been centered.

> As we danced at our wedding reception, Elon told me, 'I am the alpha in this relationship,'" Justine, his first wife, revealed in a 2010 column

Or going further back, he got pushed down some stairs as a kid because he was bullying someone whose father had killed himself.

He's an asshole. So was Steve Jobs. We're better off with brilliant assholes devoting themselves to industry than politics.

Elon's not brilliant, he's just lucky.
