  I recommend doing one's own research on this topic; the well is quite deep. Musk's greatest talent is salesmanship; that sometimes divorces from the truth. This can get you started: https://news.sky.com/story/elon-musks-lies-about-tesla-on-twitter-cost-investors-millions-court-told-12789872 https://news.sky.com/story/elon-musks-lies-about-tesla-on-tw...

    Doesn't sound like such a clear cut case. Has the court decided yet?

      That was just one search result. Again, I recommend doing one's own research. There's a lot to find. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/04/elon-musk-twitter-terrible-things-hes-said-and-done https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/04/elon-musk-twitter-te...

        The usual list. He clearly isn't a leftist and it angers a lot of people very much that he doesn't automatically follow the leftist commands. Doesn't make him evil or a liar. And for example making a prediction that turns out wrong also isn't a lie. It is just an opinion.

        The lies make him a liar, not his political-spectrum position. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/02/tesla-shareholder-suit-says-musk-and-co-lied-about-full-self-driving-safety/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/02/tesla-shareholde...

        Lawsuits don't prove he lied.

You can keep defending him if you want, but the preponderance of evidence is not on his side. On average, I would no longer consider Elon Musk a reliable source.

        You are incredible. 1.) he doesn't have to justify reinstating Trump at all. People who banned a sitting president have to justify their actions 2.) Seriously, what the fuck - you want to hold his dying child against him? This is ridiculous nitpicking, you can say "it died in his arms" even if he wasn't holding his child all the time. You should take a long hard look into the mirror and ponder what your irrational hatred does to your personality. 3.) A couple of cars with a tiny discount proves what? A list of 30 cars, with a generously calculated average discount of 3%, out of probably thousands sold? Keep hating, though. Your hatred is irrelevant.
