Musk's behavior of late has changed my mind. When I need to make a move on a new car, I'd rather spend double on a Lucid than give him any money.

What a racist, fascist loon.

Twitter executives say they aren’t playing Elon Musk’s games. At a company town hall on Thursday, the execs told employees they will not renegotiate the price of his $44 billion takeover agreement, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to The Beast.


The Tesla CEO has been trying to whip up doubt, with little evidence, about the number of fake accounts on the social media platform.
