I'd say mockery was pretty apparent from the context in the first place. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1607494455720022018 > Epic thread!! If you had no idea from who that tweet was from, wouldn't you regard it as mockery?
Musk genuinely still uses "epic" to describe things he likes.
This is so pointless. We often make fun of people who obssess over the Kardashians and yet here we are obsessing over everything Musk..

It appeared to many observers that Musk was mocking the Russian propaganda, he then made the mockery explicit later. I don't understand the thesis that Musk is somehow pro-Russia. Generally his ventures are against Russia interests: SpaceX, launched in the aftermath of Russia being uninterested in selling a leftover rocket to Musk, now dominates the launch industry to the detriment of Russia, among other things halti…

> I don't understand the thesis that Musk is somehow pro-Russia. There's a bit of a conspiracy theory going around that Musk was trying to get out of buying Twitter by publicly aligning with Russia/sabotaging Ukraine a bit. The idea would be being enough of a thorn in the US' backside that they might let him walk away from the deal. It's a funny one in that Musk has done enough bizarre stunts by now that I don't see…

Might be actually, I didn't actually look at the DCF. Just eyeballing their PE and their growth didn't make it attractive enough to me. I feel like it should be abundantly clear.
Where do you check DCF? I had to build my own Excel spreadsheet for this. But I would love to find a place where they've already done this for me!

It's ridiculous to state that Elon praised Medvedev. Medvedev made some insane and absurd predictions for 2023 and Elon replied with "Epic thread!!". It was epic because how insane it was. Elon clarified it later with "Those are definitely the most absurd predictions I’ve ever heard, while also showing astonishing lack of awareness of the progress of artificial intelligence and sustainable energy."

Musk was very clearly mocking the propaganda tweet, not praising it. I wouldn't put much confidence in the predictions of someone who didn't realise that.
Only because of his follow-up tweet -- his first tweet ("Epic thread") was fully ambiguous. He knows better (after all, he owns the platform) so he's also willingly trolling by not being clearer. That said, the media response to it -- pumping his first tweet without clarifying by virtue of the second tweet -- is emblematic of everything wrong with our current news/media/social-media culture.
In fact surely that's a parody account? How could anyone possibly think Musk genuinely agreed with it?

Tesla could go out of business or become a takeover candidate. Electric car subsidies are on the line in many cases in EU. And the coolness factor in contrast to other established brands was clearly damaged by Elno's escapades - and it's not getting any bette
Why tho? It’s not like they’re really good cars, the build quality is sub-par, as you note the brand has really suffered, the home-grown tech would be difficult to integrate, and the automation a liability.
The supercharger network seems like the major asset someone might be interested in.
And secondary would be a pretty strong software team as historic manufacturers have had a hard time taking that turn, but at the same time that would likely clash with the existing teams and practices so the benefit is not a sure thing.
