to give some context, it wasn't that it was his first time, it was that people thought it made him relatable.

personally i think he's really into pills. these podcast guys really love xanax and adderall.

Plus it has now been reported that Tesla stock is nearing the margin call price. Keep in mind that Musk's purchase of Twitter was financed using his Tesla stock as collateral. If that drops to a certain value, Musk's creditors can seize it and liquidate it to protect its value as collateral. And they can also foreclose on the loan. Musk is facing the very real possibility that he may lose controlling interest in both Twitter and Tesla, and the vast basis of his personal fortune. I think the stress of this may be affecting him as well.

Yeah, no.

Tesla stock is still trading higher than at the beginning of October last year. Since Musk bought Twitter it has been down at the $150 level at least once. If Musk was in danger of margin calls, it would already have happened.

This is one thing I get uncomfortable about when I see my fellow Musk sceptics crowing about how the stock price of Tesla has crashed. Yes it has, but only compared to the high levels it achieved after Tr*mp won the election. The reality is that it is still doing well compared to large parts of last year and it still massively overvalues the company.

I don't know. That's why I asked the question. I thought the whole point of that bit was that it was his first time. I don't see why I should be mocked for asking.

I apologize. I wasn't mocking you. I was mocking the idea that this is the first time Elon Musk has tried cannabis. He later admitted it wasn't, and he was really trying hard to backpedal from the idea that he was a recreational drug user because that would jeopardize his ability to bid on federal contracts. He really screwed the pooch by lighting up on television and did one of his non-credible double-down things about it.

i'm assuming that was all before he sold twitter to himself via xai.
 
Rumprs that Musk is breaking with Trump over tariffs. And supporting his tariffs has become Donnie's #1 test of loyalty.
 
Now Musk and Peter Navarro, one of Trump's top ecnomic advisors, openly fighting , with Musk calling Navarro an Idiot. (Well, Elon is not worng there). Another sign the Musk might be nearing the en d of the road as far as being one of Trump's buddies is concerened. Navarro is a long time Trump team member, Musk is a newbie who is becoming a liabllity.
 
President Musk's company xAI has been discovered using gas turbines which release large amounts of nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere to produce electricity for his Memphis facility where Grok processing takes place without obtaining the required permits for them.

And, even if true, you never, never say that out loud and in public.
It was an incredibly stupid move. And might have been the last straw. Now from al lI have read, almost of all Trump's political advisors want Musk to go, the sooner the better.
And he is beginning to make Trump look bad..the one unforgiveable sin in the Trump universe.

You're right! Trump never looked bad before!

"required permits" - I think you will find those are for the little people, they don't apply to Musk.
