The Elon Musk post in relation to Paul Pelosi..will destroy his business. [View all]

While he will still be very rich, his "Tesla business" will be destroyed.

In the end, twitter may be destroyed too. There are lots of alternatives to twitter. Aren't there?
This is now getting world wide attention. I just read about it today.. Musk doesn't have a clue. While this has been
posted before, so it isn't "Late News" anymore,

In the end, Tesla will go bankrupt. Musk, like his hero: Donald Trump, doesn't know when to shut up. For a well
known media figure, that is OK.

......But it is NOT OK, for someone who owns a business that depends on widespread approval of buyers. Since now there
are major competitors to Tesla, buyers who don't approve of Musk's Pelosi comments, will buy something else.
...Also, there are competitors to "Twitter" which he just bought..aren't there?............

If all the people who are upset with Musk for his comments, pull out of Twitter and refuse buying Tesla, it could hurt
him forever. Maybe? We will all find out in a couple of months or more. But, it will take some time for this to get
all around. Because it will. People talking to other people, and repeat in the news media, it will take some time.

I just read about this today in Democratic Underground. The long term response to this stupidity will take a whole
lot of time. Musk clearly doesn't know ....WHEN TO SHUT THE F*** UP, but he will learn the hard way!
