Tesla and Musk are synonymous.

I think it was obvious that he is awful at least since 2018 when he did this:

Elon Musk came under fire on Sunday after launching an extraordinary attack on a British diver who helped rescue the boys trapped in a flooded cave in Thailand, baselessly calling him a “pedo” on Twitter and then doubling down.

That was in 2018? Wow. I thought that was after his 2020 public slide. He hinted awful even before then. I guess I was still in the forgiving him his trespasses at that time, probably because the news wasn't a daily Leon saturation then.

Yes, I'm that awful. :oops:
I thought his thing was career advancing women within his companies.
This all began because Grimes kicked his ass to the curb. That's what started him down the path of becoming The World's Most Divorced Man. :coffee:

Grimes was like third or more down the line in the rotation. I think it began well before her.

Trump and Musk share a love of trophy wives/girlfriends/bragging rights.
