I have no doubt Elon Musk knows a lot more about business things than I do. After all he paid $44 billion for Twitter and wrecked it over night.
Now the stock of his main company, Tesla, has dropped to a new low today– $137. The 52 week high was $402.67. So that means if you have a lot of Tesla stock you will be eating cat food this winter. (I recommend Science Diet, but Purina is good if you’re into fast food. Also, I’ve heard Rachael Ray’s pet food is tasty.)
Every hour of every day there’s a new outrageous post from Musk which leads to outrage on Twitter. This morning or last night he denounced Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren. A slew of celebrities have left Twitter, and everyone’s fighting over linking to the new platforms like Mastadon and Post. Plus, there’s the whole banning of critical journalists.
So if Musk is so smart, why is he doing all this? None of it makes sense. But that’s what we said about Trump and Kanye West. Maybe it doesn’t have to make sense. It’s just a disaster.
