FFS, Elon. You had this one in the bag. Even though Thailand didn't end up needing it, the sub offer made you look great and even crowded out the bad news about Tesla for a while. All you had to do after the rescue was over was say "Glad to hear all the kids are safe; we'll keep the sub mothballed just in case this happens again" and you'd have been golden. Instead you go off on these tangents about how Thailand is incompetent and now this, and now you just look like a prick for about the twentieth time this year.
Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
- Millennium 8y agoYeah, pretty much this. I'm actually willing to accept that this wasn't initially meant to be just a PR gesture, but a sincere attempt to help. But now his tantrums over not getting to be the hero have gone and poisoned it all, rendering it indistinguishable-from-PR whether or not it was intended as such in the first place.
- mindslight 8y agoActually, I'm pretty sure that this outburst makes it distinguishable from PR. Not that it's pleasant to see. Elon Musk needs a serious figurative punch in the gut, to get back to the actual outlook of a collaborative problem solver and away from pumped up competitive douchebag. The world already had enough of those.
