    I'm sure the news of Musk's $1tn pay deal will have made him reconsider...

    I don't see how he can meet the criteria. Tesla is already overvalued and he has to increase it sevenfold in a decade. Sales are slumping, the range of vehicles is already outdated and other manufacturers have caught up. Trump rolled back any EV credits so they're expensive in America and Europeans don't want them. The Chinese are banging out cheap alternatives. Not to mention Elon losing his core customer base for reasons.

    Surely this circus is about boosting value in the shorter term and then bailing out before the **** hits the fan? A bit like this AI bollocks.

    No relevance whatsoever. He was talking about the state of this country.

    Not sure (or even that interested tbh) but I think I read somewhere he plans to go big in selfdrive taxis and robotics.

    Don't put boring facts in the way of a good gripe!

    edit: also in the post I replied to it did say the world...

    With Tesla already facing several wrongful death lawsuits due to their autopilot, I'm sure nothing will go wrong with a million cars without steering wheels on the road.

    I'd pay Musk $1tn if he made one of my assets worth an extra $5tn

    The comments he made werent very nice
    BBC said a "bike nonce" was a *****phile but surely it changed the meaning with the adjective?
    But should it be a criminal offence to state an opinion (no matter how crazy) rather than a defamatory statement - I know they are not criminal either but they can be sued?

    His tweeted opinion was that Vine had a sexual interest in children, that cost him 75k in damages, and he issued a public apology.

    I read "bike nonce" as somebody who has an unhealthy obsession with bikes.
    It could be seen as a bit of a stretch I know.

    His tweet saying 'if you see this bloke by a primary school call 999' won't have aided his defence much.
