Teslon
Oh hey, apropos of nothing in particular, here's a fun anecdote:
Back in April when Robert (Aging Wheels) and I made that Florida road trip we spent a couple days at Disney, because of course we did.
When driving up to the parking lot at Hollywood Studios, I asked if the EV charging stations were available.
The mid-50's Cast Member said
"Lemme check, we only have four - it would really help if Elon Musk would stop being so distracted trying to buy Twitter"
Teslon
So. For anyone out there who thinks the general public isn't aware of Elon's foibles, his connection with Tesla, and how he's distracted - I think this anecdote is pretty damning.
Sure, he's one dude, but definitely not the demo I expect to be up on this shit. Yet he was. Back in April.

@TechConnectify yeah 60% of the market cap of tesla has fallen off over the past six months, he's doing an absurd amount of damage to his brand image and the value of every company he's involved with and I figure it's only a matter of time before The Adults ask him to stand down
@PartialGestalt @TechConnectify the people writing the checks at the investment banks (and the saudi government), who are expecting actual returns instead of to plow $44 billion into a comically failed vanity project
I don't actually consider them adults, hence the emphasis caps
