    There was a time when he was very good for Tesla but I’m convinced there’s a mental illness going around in the extremely wealthy.

    Even pondered writing a screenplay or treatment about it. Back in France they sent the elite to the guillotine, nowadays the proletariat infect them with a virus that causes rampant self destructive paranoia and narcissism.

    I voted against many of the board recommendations to do what’s best for Tesla in my opinion, not for Mr. Musk.

    I don’t bear him any ill will, but there’s something fundamentally wrong with him right now.

    Maybe it has always been there but now it’s magnified like crazy ever since this social media crusade he’s been on. Maybe too much social media causes brain damage?

      I think any social media causes brain damage. You and I are getting some brain damage just even pondering some of this stuff.

      I don’t bear the guy any ill will either, but as a fan of the brand, it’s time to move on. We’ve seen this time and time again in automotive history (well not to this extent I suppose, but we’ve still seen some shit over the past 100 years). These guys go egomaniac, and they are always quite eccentric and maybe a bit insane (a key qualification of being an auto baron), but eventually they all seem to go supernova, and then it’s time to go. That’s where we are with this one, I’m afraid.
