Tesla deliveries down 43% in Europe while EVs are up 31%

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.

I have a different idea. He just doesn't give a fuck.

Imagine you're one of the richest people on the planet. What are you going to do? Keep chasing more and more money, like a drug addict chasing more and more high? Nah, that's not sustainable, surely not when you're already virtually at the top, and you can have everything you want. Run a charity? Why? Starving children in Africa weren't your problem when you were poor, why should they be now?

Dick around and do dumb shit, that's what you're going to do. Because you can. You have enough money to buy popular social media and turn it into shit because it's fun and why not. And your best buddy who's on board with doing dumb shit happens to be the president of America. Dream come true.

I wouldn't be surprised if he has full bought into the idea the universe is just a simulation and he is one of the few PC characters (vs all of us NPCs). SO to him life is just a video game and and he's just playing around like someone would do in GTA V.
