Elon Musk

"politically motivated hit piece"

But you're not a politician... are you??

“But actually” and “your” feel very trumpy.

To be clear, I’m spending <5% (but actually) of my time on the Twitter acquisition. It ain’t rocket science!

Yesterday was Giga Texas, today is Starbase. Tesla is on my mind 24/7.

The attacks against me should be viewed through a political lens – this is their standard (despicable) playbook – but nothing will deter me from fighting for a good future and your right to free speech

rotting conjoined twin corpse on groin?

I was trying to come up with something but I don't think I can top that

I see this and…

And there it is: Musk can now be sued for defamation by the woman he has just publicly called a liar—after paying her to not sue him. It would appear he has broken his non-disparagement agreement.

I think this story is going to get very, very interesting over the next few weeks. pic.twitter.com/PQkKse4P49

i was JUST wondering if the agreement had a clause like that but does seth abramson know?

No idea, I assumed he was referring to the nda, am guessing Musk is also prohibited from discussing her as she is him? But I know nearly nothing about how they work.

if she does choose to sue she shd definitely avoid hiring lin wood, "attorney and conspiracy theorist": unsworth deciding on wood to represent him was a bad move

seth abramson is a legendary idiot so may very well be wrong abt this but i have seen others saying musk has broken the terms of the nda

I would imagine any court would invalidate an NDA based on the party who asked for it publicly calling the other party a liar?

Even if Musk did break the NDA it would be suicidal for the victim to press forward here so it seems highly irrelevant. Just a grifter trying to keep his tweets in the trending box.

feel like we’re about to see an avalanche of “no way ol Lonnie Musk wriggles his way out of this one” takes

anyway, heaven help that port walk an when her name gets out

*help that poor woman

again haven't looked into it but he's talking about non-disparagement not NDA (non-disclosure)

if there is one she might not need to sue, sometimes they include what the damages would be in the event of a breach. maybe seth abramson can fill us in since he is allegedly a lawyer but he doesn't appear to understand that this is different from suing for defamation. which would be independent of there being a pre-existing non-disparagement clause.

she was a Space X flight attendant, so maybe signed an NDA on day 1? Like "Elon's probably gonna show you his little rocket at some point, so please sign right here!"

tesla down another 10% today

In 2015 I decided on a whim to check out Tesla's battery swap station that was earning the company 9 figures in California ZEV credits, and found it wasn't real. Instead Tesla was using diesel generators to charge cars. Here's how this changed my life 🧵

"And that's okay"

i have been wondering about this. seems to mean tesla is not reporting safety issues to NHTSA, which is very legal and very cool.

A year later I found another big cockroach: Tesla was hiding defects by requiring customers sign NDAs in exchange for free repairs. This cut off the auto safety regulator's only independent source of information about defects. This led to a couple of important lessons...

yeah teslas habitual rule breakers but the fines are such mickey mouse shit that they dont care, guys seems to be saying that musk is more vulnerable personally

hes been covering tesla for years from the business/tech perspective but is now for the first time at least since ive been following him saying that musks got plenty of skeletons in his closet that shouldnt be too hard to expose, and that hes particularly vulnerable since none of his companies are actually profitable, his success is based on a cult of personality, its a celebrity story, jeff bezos for instance is a lot more protected since amazons success is based on actually making a ton of money

not sure they've had to pay any fines for it though, will investigate later

yeah not sure about for that issue, they have been fined a bunch for various things at a rate much higher than a typical car company iirc

I quite literally cannot believe how many people think this guy is some sort of genius. It’s almost more disturbing than the Trump cult.

I've gone through the same 4 stages with him that I did with Trump

1) This guy seems like kind of a clown, but he's had a lot of success so I guess he knows what he's doing
2) Alright, getting pretty weird now, but I am pretty sure he's just trolling/playing the media
3) No, he really is that much of a dipshit
4) He sucks at everything, what kind of fucking country lets this asshole be successful

crazy thing about musk is he has absolutely no personal charisma its just the idea of a visionary billionaire engineer that horrible nerds like

Like Steve Jobs, are there any charities or philanthropic causes that Musk contributes to?

Jobs believe his greatest gift to the world were the products that you bought from him at full price

IDK, maybe he supports the indigent Afrikaners back home

crazy thing about musk is he has absolutely no personal charisma its just the idea of a visionary billionaire engineer that horrible nerds like

yea this is a big deal and why I don't think he's gonna have much success trying to walk in Trump's footsteps. he appears kind of witty on Twitter because he's just ripping off memes he saw and stealing replies he thinks are funny. as a speaker he's fucking awful. every time I hear him talk my first thought is "has he not slept in the last 48 hours?"

all these guys think they can be trump but none of them ever had a hit tv show is how i break it down

I don't think that bar is going to matter much longer. More dopes like Trump are coming.

im saying trump has a talent its not that easy

I don't think that bar is going to matter much longer.

public attention is limited and highly sought after resource

you can't really teach charm

afaics, Musk is only engaged with politics insofar as he can use it to amplify his wealth and power. I greatly doubt he will run for office, because, like Trump, he would have no interest any position but the top job and he's barred from it.

He does like having a big fan club of adulators, so he spends a lot of time feeding and grooming them. Plus, they come in handy for all sorts of things that increase his influence. They are the sole reason why he got to host SNL, f'rinstance.

I agree Trump has some animal cunning/sociopathic skill. I'm just not sure we aren't going to see more of that in politics.

musk has been really successful from a pr perspective, getting the media to tell the story he wants, but hes never had to actually perform, and now hes contradicting the story he told by getting political fucking up the twitter deal and so forth, and now the bad news is starting

Trump has been really successful from a pr perspective, getting the media to tell the story he wants, but hes never had to actually perform, and now hes contradicting the story he told by getting political fucking up his casinos and so forth, and now the bad news is starting

lol nah man trumps been happily on screen every chance he can get for 40 years see aforementioned #1 tv show

I am in no way saying Musk = Trump, I'm must saying don't dismiss him from whatever because he's not actually successful, an obvious moron, etc. etc. etc. He has resources (more than Trump). Like Trump he just keeps his name in the media on end and appeals to a certain demographic.

must = just

not really sure what were talking about now but i stand by my statement that he has no personal charisma, and furthermore hes currently in a tough spot
