Elon completely lost it in my opinion. He has had so much potential and could have done great things. Many of his past accomplishments will go down in the history books as magical and unprecedented, but he himself will be portrait mostly negatively, unless he gets his shit together and stops spreading lies and misinformation. I’m truly saddened but I have no choice but to divest from Tesla and his companies unless he changes his ways. I won’t buy the Starlink dish I was looking into and I won’t buy another Tesla. I can’t change his was, but I can control how I “vote” with my money. Examples: - Elon misleads via incomplete information: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1829185699184292285 - my take: most of America’s wealth has been extracted and concentrated in the hands of a few via the labor of immigrants, often undocumented or even forcefully brought to America. Many undocumented immigrants became that, not by their actions, and must not enact collective punishment on them. Those that are taking advantage of our society, or are endangering it, should be punished or expelled, but this should apply to everyone regardless of their immigration status. - Elon misleads via carefully crafted video: https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1829216739537949063 - my take: all of us want elections to be fair and secure, voter ID laws if accompanied by unobstructed access to IDs sound awesome! Do not ask minorities in NYC if they have IDs, of course they do! Go to rural Missouri instead.

He’s totally lost and disconnected from reality and is dragging down all of his followers with him. Elon lost his way, likely his absolute power corrupted him absolutely, and instead of saving humanity is now actively destroying it.
