Democratic Primaries

I question this dude's sanity sometimes...

Elon Musk: On Wednesday, March 18, Musk defied a sheriff’s order to “shelter-in-place” by keeping Tesla’s Fremont, California factory open, with employees being told the factory was “critical infrastructure.” After Tesla was confronted by the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department that same day, the factory cut its onsite staff from 10,000 to 2,500. On Wednesday evening, Musk, who has previously dismissed the coronavirus panic as “dumb,” tweeted that Tesla would “make ventilators if there is a shortage.” He added on Friday, March 20, that he thinks the ventilators “probably won’t be needed.” Musk has since talked to ventilator manufacturer Medtronic.

Worrying about coronavirus is "dumb"...uh, okay Elon. Same guy who came up with his idiotic submarine idea when those kids were trapped in a cave in Thailand and when they politely declined he went off on them...

His erratic behavior has also raised a few eyebrows with NASA and the USAF...

Think he's spreading himself a little too thin running too many companies and his workload and stress gets to him. Got a coupla buddies and former workmates now at SpaceX and if they're as busy as they are then his schedule must be crushing.

Nice that all these rich folks are donating but IMO would be better for the government just to raise their taxes and put it where they thought it was best utilized. Not a big fan of relying on charity or the good will of a few individuals (some of them borderline batshit crazy like Musk) to decide where funds should go. Still better than nothing, I guess. But there are too many Carnegies and Rockefellers out there who think they can reap enormous wealth by whatever means including treating their workers like dirt and then clear their names by tossing a few bucks around to good causes.
