I agree that governments have a part to play in creating regulations. But you’ll also notice how Tesla straight left California, because California tax law is just insane and Texas is more competitive.
Government definitely wants a stable economy.
Elon behavior is definitely a problem, although I don’t think it’s one worth worrying about. If he wants to piss on our collective respect for him, that’s his choice to do so.
- jelliclesfarm 4y agoIndeed, you are right. He is making it increasingly difficult for me to continue defending him which I so badly want to do. He seems to be surrounded by sycophants and yes-men. He lacks the discrimination and wisdom to choose the right advisors. It is a special kind of tragedy.
- raydiatian 4y ago> sycophants and yes men (surrounding Elon) This is my greatest fear, although I’m unsure of its validity. It certainly seems like it. Hyperbillionaires basically aren’t human—they’re more like sentient, financial celestial bodies. Money planets. Their mere presence warps the financial world around them. Maybe too many sycophants is like a star with more mass than it can handle, leading to supernova or black hole.
- jelliclesfarm 4y agoHe is human alright. Painfully so.
- raydiatian 4y agoYou’re misinterpreting what I’m saying, but yes he’s obviously human and everything that entails psychologically.
