He founded (for some definition) the two most impressive American corporations of the century and tweeted a lot to build a direct connection to people.
What’s impressive about Tesla? It’s already being outcompeted by companies in China, losing market share, and the other manufacturers are catching up. Besides that, he’s pissed off the demographics most likely to buy Teslas. It’s not like most Trump voters are buying EVs

Reading the other comments in this Twitter thread it seems like it's gotten much worse than in the years before. It's seems so much more political and radicalized now.
> It's seems so much more political and radicalized now. It's more politicized.. now ? More politicized than when literal politicians and three letter agencies were determining what should and shouldn't trend? How can anyone say that?
A lot of people are unsurprisingly throwing shade on Musk being involved here but I think it's really important to understand what this is fundamentally about: stopping or fundamentally changing OpenAI's plans to be spun off. The issue at hand is that OpenAI (the private, currently "capped profit" entity, henceforth in this post referred to as OpenAI-P) is trying to get spun out of control of the OpenAI non-profit (h…
I do not, for a single second, believe that Musk is doing this for altruistic reasons.

He also has several investors backing him, including Valor Equity Partners, Baron Capital, Atreides Management, Vy Capital and 8VC, a venture firm led by Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale. Ari Emanuel, CEO of Hollywood company Endeavor, is also backing the offer through his investment fund.
....Atreides Management? The financing arm of a aristocratic line running a personality cult and who have a nepo baby on the cards contemplating a little bit of jyhad as his ticket out? ....I Do sometimes wonder who comes up with these names.
The same kind of people that idolize the character Patrick Bateman from American Psycho instead of laughing at how ridiculous and pathetic Bateman is.

was looking for a musk margin call in 2023, no such luck, now he’s VP and markets are still fake
We'll see. After throwing out a few Nazi salutes, Tesla sales have been tanking in Europe.

> What’s impressive about Tesla? The fact that it's worth more than all the other automakers combined. > the other manufacturers are catching up Re-read what you wrote, and consider how preposterous it is that automakers founded more than a century ago are now "catching up" to a company that sold its first car in 2008.
to justify this “vapor worth” Tesla would have to sell about 89 billion cars :)
…automakers founded more than century ago…
look-up when BYD was founded…

Nonsense. He's ignoring judges orders to cease and desist in his funding freezes and he's simultaneously attempting to seize control of the AI company through an aggressive acquitision, all the while avoid seemingly all oversight. This can only be described as techno authoritarianism.
Kind of, yes! If OpenAI actually believes that the true value of OpenAI-NP is $40B then surely they will sell it for $97B! But, they of course don't believe that the proper valuation of complete control over OpenAI-P is worth only $40B. That's the point of why this works.
