CNET reports that a lot of potential Tesla buyers are bailing on their orders because of Elon Musk’s erratic behavior and right-wing trolling.
“The last straw for Heather was Elon Musk’s vitriolic attacks on Anthony Fauci, one of the world’s most respected immunologists and the outgoing director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. For Logan, it was when Musk, days after taking over Twitter, ordered employees to stop paying bills to vendors for services they’d already rendered.
For Tom, Musk’s corrosive and erratic leadership of Twitter since he bought the social media site at the end of October was just too much.
And when each of them called to cancel their Tesla car preorders or to terminate their car leases over the past few months, saying Musk’s toxic behavior was the reason, they were told pretty much the same thing from the Tesla salesperson on the other end of the line: “We’re hearing a lot of that,….”
Twitter CEO Elon Musk tweeted on Tuesday that the United States has “definitely” been harmed by having Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) serve in the Senate.
Warren wrote in her letter that she is concerned Tesla’s board has “failed to meet” its “legal duty” to ensure Musk is not treating the company as his “private plaything.” She also asked how the board is handling “conflicts of interest, misappropriation of corporate assets, and other actions by Mr. Musk that appear not to be in the best interests of Tesla and its shareholders.”
Elon Musk took over @Twitter, but he’s still the CEO of @Tesla. That raises legal concerns — is he creating conflicts of interest? Is he misappropriating company resources? Tesla is not Musk’s private plaything. I’ve got many questions for the Tesla Board.

Elon proved rich people are not necessarily smart people.

Not to worry.
Elon has stated (and he never lies) that he will step down as soon as he finds a suitable replacement.
I hear Mike Pence and Michael Flynn are available.
Maybe Steve Bannon.

Musk would rather be a right wing troll than an honest businessman.
