Summary
Elon Musk, under fire for massive layoffs and controversial political influence, is now complaining about Democrats celebrating Tesla’s stock crash.
At CPAC, Musk mocked job losses, but later whined about Tim Walz reveling in Tesla’s decline.
Public backlash is growing: protests have erupted nationwide, and a Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows 67% wouldn’t buy a Tesla—over half citing Musk as the reason.
With falling approval ratings and criticism over his influence on Trump, Musk faces rising opposition from Americans disillusioned by his actions and rhetoric.
Seems to me that it’s entirely intuitive. A very wise friend of mine once told me “acid will make you more like you are.” The only exception I’ve seen is when it triggers schizophrenia. I think the jury’s still out on whether such people were already at risk, or if the right combination of set, setting and dosage could potentially do that to anyone.
