Confessing failure at his self-proclaimed mission of cutting $2 trillion in government spending (from fraud), Musk fades away to a diminished Tesla

Without mentioning his $2 trillion proclamation, Musk tries to take a victory lap by claiming he saved $160 billion in a sloppy, performance-infused program that slashed government services and efficiency. Unable to provide evidence of his claim, many audits suggest his antics will actually cost taxpayers $135 billion, largely for the severance costs of slashing the workforce, some of which the government hired back after Musk took gleeful credit for firing vital workers in a haste to support his claim of savings in any way he could (including outright lying).
Musk is hardly a successful genius let alone businessman as his Tesla business is in shambles, his worldwide reputation has crashed and burned, and his promises of ubiquitous self-driving vehicles, the end of personal car ownership, and human colonization of Mars seems as fictional and fanciful as trump's dream-state of being Pope, ruling the world, and reinstating Alcatraz while building a 1900's style ballroom in the White House as he wrecks the worldwide economy with a dementia-induced obsession over tariffs.

In reality, he’s probably COST $135 billion over his haphazard firings that were reversed either by unions or by judicial rulings that the firings were illegal.
The funny thing is he’s alienated the “base audience” for Teslas, the liberals. I don’t see a MAGAt driving one, because it flies in the face of everything they believe (whatever that is).

@jaylar I hope he experiences the full force of Karma
---------That's why I cheer every time Tesler stock falls and every time a Tesler is vandalized.

I did a deep dive into Musk when he was buying twitter. I avoided wikipedia... this is a bone deep supporter of apartheid who ran away from South Africa because the idea of Black Man in power was unacceptable to him.
He lied about going to college and getting degrees. He used his mother's Canadian nationality to get into a school in Canada, crossed the border a few months later, bounced from state to state in the US... borrowed money from his father, ripped off someone else's idea, created his first internet company, sold it, and began creating companies,exploiting workers, then running to his next scam.
He is a repulsive human being who needed power and played subservient to Trump to get power and then used it to destroy many agencies, trying to weed out the non-white employees.
People have proven their distrust and dislike by avoiding his companies... primarily Tesla and also his star link.
Hopefully, there will be enough law suits against him, enough universal disdain so that he tumbles down the worm hole.
