Isn't this proof that the grading of companies is like the TV show "Whose Line is it Anyway" where the scores are made up and the points don't matter?

Makes me wonder what other things (that we don’t hear about publicly) are being done to try to bring Musk down.

This is the mildest, most forgiving coverage. Elon is replying to Nazis, misogynists, racists, and other vile assholes on twitter. He is taking suggestions from them. As bad as things are now, once the realization that truly vile people have Elon's ear filters out to the public, it will get much worse. Previously I had flippantly mentioned that Hitler gave Henry Ford a medal, to put Musks rants into perspective regarding brand destruction. Now I'm not sure how vile Elon will get. Every day is a downside surprise.

  Could you name a single Nazi that Elon has replied to? The only example I can think of is Kanye West - and Elon banned him from Twitter.

    Seeing as how you are a nativist/racist... > The reality is that the first waves of immigration from the EU (skilled workers from developed nations) were hugely beneficial for the UK economy. But as the EU expanded into destitute former Soviet states, later waves of immigration were not the same demographic, from an economic point of view. And how concerned you are at becoming unemployable for that reason... > When people can (and have) lost their livelihoods by using the wrong language, being in charge of new language is a powerful thing indeed. ...in a way that tells me your bigotry is a kind of bundle deal with, what? Transphobia? You can't manage they/thems? You normally would not merit a response to a bad faith "just asking questions" obnoxiousness. But someone already made a list. You'll have to pick the actual Nazis out from the garden variety racists, homophobes, misogynists, etc. but, as is usual with bigotry, it's almost always a bundle deal: https://twitter.com/RonFilipkowski/status/1601605905866690561 https://twitter.com/RonFilipkowski/status/160160590586669056...

    Kim Dotcom. Owns a very rare signed copy of Mein Kampf, has been seen wearing a SS helmet, commended Ye for questioning Jewish people in the media/positions of power.
