Well, that pretty much confirms that this is all about revenge for him, which makes it that much sweeter to watch.
I can't wait to see what shibboleth of theirs he tears down next.  Attached File |

Love it. I'm no SEC expert but isn't there something illegal about not acting in the best interest of the shareholders?
Or is he allowed to because it's his personal Twitter account? |

 Tesla CEO Elon Musk: I'll say what I want to say, and if we lose money, so be it -smarmy cnbc talking head -"Or are there advertizers on twitter that - Linda Yakarina will come and say 'You gotta stop man, I can't get these ads because of some of the things you tweet'?" Elon glares at him for TEN FULL SECONDS, saying nothing.  -Elon- "You know, I'm reminded of... uh... you see it in the princess bride. Great movie - where he confronts the person who killed his father. And he says 'Offer me money. Offer me power." I DON'T CARE. -smarmy cnbc talking head - "So you just don't care. You want to share what you have to say-" -Elon- "I'll say what I want to say, and if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it." Based AF, as always. |

That was clearly the look of a man trying to put his thoughts into words. He was lost in thought, trying to think of how best to say what he wanted to express. Glaring?!

He received billions in DOD money. He’s a very important cog in dismantling the machine.
Hence him not caring about his stocks crumbling. It’s not all his money. Most importantly, he will come out of this a hero and worth even more. Think Oskar Schindler but instead of Jews he’s freeing our minds and the NAZIs are keeping us mentally trapped. |

Personally I think what he actually said comes across much tougher. He asserts himself as a free individual making his own choice regardless of consequence. Elon- "I'll say what I want to say, and if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it." |
