    Hold up just a second. I'm not allowed to do cocaine anymore because I'm in my thirties? This is the overturning of Roe 2.0 IMO.

    Weird post. And odd that it’s even allowed on this board. Hope you get some help.

    My attitude when it comes to telling or implying someone on the internet you don't actually know should kill themselves is rather negative.

    but you've been given multiple real world examples of him being a pathological liar, examples that he didn't use that reason basically any other time he's asked about leaving, and examples of racism in his work environments yet you choose to believe this one clip.

    maybe just consider the things you said may have been wrong and that's why people are refuting you.

    On the other hand, starting with Rivals, posters have suffered fools for a long time simply because the fools had the basic skills necessary to create a username and log in. At some point individual posters get tired of suffering fools until it's a critical mass of posters. The fools call it "group think," because, well, they're fools who aren't getting suffered anymore and they liked it better before. Meanwhile, the other posters have become much better at identifying the fools. Circle of life.

    TL:DR

    Fuck off. You took a month off when your shit takes hit the fan and now come riding back into it trying to do whatever you are doing. You’re a Musk fanboy who ran for the hills when the thing that everyone told you would happen happened.

    Elon Musk is a piece of shit and anyone who buys into his garbage is a fucking moron. Sorry that offends your sensibilities, you fucking moron.

    Get some help. My “takes” about Musk have nothing to do with whatever you’ve been posting about in here. If I felt the need to defend him on everything, I would’ve done so the whole time. I’m far from afraid to post my opinions on this board. I only rejoined the conversation because you made an inaccurate post about me while being a coward and acting like you don’t know how to tag me.

    Now that you’ve pretty clearly been shown as wrong and not knowing what you’re talking about, you pivot to projection and general shitposting. If that’s all you wanted to do from the start, then by all means. Maybe just tag me next time you decide to lose it.

    You don’t read much of anything based on what you think my opinions are related to Musk. Pretty weird to fake tag me and then project who you think I am while allegedly not reading my posts and jumping on the “fuck off kill/hurt yourself” train.

    Hopefully all of this was some form of stress relief for you because it’s….odd.

    Ok - got to get to work so last one until this afternoon. I will address sometime this evening, expecting there to be quite a few replies. Referring explicitly to this post

    1. What examples of being a pathological liar? All I've seen are that he promised that autonomous driving was going to be 100% and other broken targets on production and other metrics. Call it salesmanship or just plan failing / not meeting the target but where is the lie? Setting an unreasonable goal and failing is a common mgmt technique, the thinking being that people will go farther in an absolute sense chasing an impossible goal than setting a "reasonable" goal and hitting it. Real ones know.

    2. Workplace discrimination suits are extremely common in companies the size of Tesla. Like Amazon and Tesla get the pub from the media because of their high profile CEO's and involvement of politicians, but these things happen all the time at boring companies like Johnson and Johnson and Georgia Pacific. Saying Elon is racist because Tesla has had discrimination suits is a non-sequitur. It's quite frankly dumb. I know this is going to get a poor reaction, but it is factually correct.

    To summarize, he's a pariah because of his outlandish personality. Things that wouldn't be indications of racism for a normal CEO (e.g., workplace discriminations) in a normal company are, to many, somehow conclusive. It's a fait accompli because anything that can be interpreted as such, will be interpreted as such.

    Talk later this evening!

    Don’t forget that the only lie he ever told was about the availability of autonomous driving vehicles.

    summary of the thread:

    Whammy: “Elon Musk isn’t a pathological liar. You need to show me proof of his lies.”

    Collective TMB posters: “Here are 7832 distinct examples of specific outright lies he has told at various times over the years, including things he currently says.”

    Whammy: “Yeah, but I don’t believe any of that other than his overstating the availability of autonomous cars. You guys are obviously a cult!”

    Who's responsible for the problems in these workplaces? Musk gets credit for anything and everything at any place he's associated with but gets no blame when things go south? That's honestly incredible.

    You love capitalism but do you see a pattern with all these places having a mountain of lawsuits? If you don't care about these lawsuits then that's fine just say that but don't pretend there aren't huge problems when those type of things are happening.

    I give up on most substantive conversations because you're so far off from living in reality that I simply don't even bother most of the time.

    In addition to others, the "secured funding" tweet was objectively false. That's a lie.

    A jury awarded one of the plaintiffs $137 million. That's not something that happens "all the time." It was one of the largest discrimination verdicts of all time. That alone does not make Musk a racist, but his handling and treatment of the litigation has certainly not done anything to show that he's not a racist. Shareholders have sued him for breach of fiduciary duty for his failure to address the climate giving rise to the suits and the handling thereof. You can call it "extremely common" all you want to, but it is not.

    Saying Elon is racist just because his company (a company I’ve told myself many times is exclusively the brainchild of this one special boy) segregates its black employees to an area called “The Plantation” doesn’t make any sense though.
