    As funny as the thought is, they won’t remove the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and X.

      Tesla and X no one really cares about. SpaceX could get nationalized (!!!) though. Musk being cozy with Putin is already a problem for the US.

        Oh people care about Tesla, it’s now an important domestic manufacturer. X is more appearance of a giant media or whatever you want to call it.

            I know that people like to throw that term around but, oh you’re an ml user. Not gonna bother explaining the realities of that word.

          Given how his management decisions are impacting Tesla (pushing out buggy, dangerous “full self-driving”, cutting corners on quality, the whole Cybertruck thing, and associating the brand with his junior-sci-fi ideas long after anyone stopped thinking that he’s some kind of visionary technologist, to say nothing of the weird far-right turn and habit of impregnating employees), it could be argued that he’s strangling a company that otherwise had excellent potential, and that at this stage, it would have a better chance under other management. I’m not sure if, say, the suits at General Motors or Ford could have made as much of an impact with it as a subsidiary, but they’d have certainly killed the Cybertruck or at least made it more like a conventional SUV.

      Tesla could easily remove Musk as their head. In fact, lying to government officials and losing your citizenship would be probably the best rules anyone could ever have to oust someone.

      SpaceX and Twitter are both private, though, so those are trickier.
