Why, Elon Musk...you look like somebody...walked across your Tesla dealership.

For a guy who has meticulously crafted an image of himself as a "genius" and a "visionary," Musk is woefully ignorant regarding the laws of cause and effect.

This all started when Elizabeth Warren said "Tax Musk & Bezos at the same rate as working Americans." He snapped back and called her "Tax Karen," and a month and a half later, he'd purchased Twitter and immediately began the process of turning it into a right wing propaganda machine in order to sway the election.

An article was published recently in which a number of White House staffers / insiders admitted they weren't fans of Musk's drug-addled "humor," saying "he's never funny." The whole shitty James Bond villain CosPlay and chainsaw swinging over Social Security didn't win him any friends, Now, the WSJ is reporting on Tesla considering a replacement and Musk did his best ALL CAPS Trump impression as he expressed his outrage.

In my experience, no one gave a rat's ass about Musk before he "went political." I think he was just seen as one more eccentric billionaire, and no one cared. Messing with 250,000 Federal employees who are now jobless changed that. Licking his reptilian lips over Social Security changed that. He simply gave the world more Elon Musk than they ever wanted, and Karma just brought the check to his table.

One more arrogant billionaire douchebag who did the Icarus thing and can't understand why his wings are melting.

@elonmusk
It is an EXTREMELY BAD BREACH OF ETHICS that the
@WSJ
would publish a DELIBERATELY FALSE ARTICLE and fail to include an unequivocal denial beforehand by the Tesla board of directors!
