Summary of terrible year
Sorry Elon: Chinese Company Overtakes Tesla as Most Popular Electric Carmaker
China's BYD now has the top spot in the electric car business as Tesla's bad year gets worse.
Gizmodo (gizmodo.com)
More ridiculous emotionally stunted behavior:
"Musk ridiculed the Chinese company in a recently surfaced TV interview, but today it’s clear that BYD is a legitimate threat to his empire."
"and the CEO seemed to nearly break out in tears on a disastrous earnings call, during which he said: “we dug our own grave with the Cybertruck.”"

""I want to temper expectations for Cybertruck," Musk said, while making the absurd claim that "there have not been new car [brands] that have been successful for 100 years, apart from Tesla.""

And he promised a future of abundance because of robots. Sure. We still don't have a self-driving car
"Musk's defense of the Optimus robots will come as no surprise as he has high hopes for them. When he unveiled them last year, he said the economy could become "quasi-infinite" if the Optimus robots were capable of manual labor.
"This means a future of abundance. A future where there is no poverty, where you could have whatever you want in terms of products and services," Musk said then."

But was upset when media reported on his robot arms grabbing and crushing an employee because they used a picture of the humanoid ones and he loves his humanoid robots
"Musk slammed recent media reports of a robot "attack" in a Tesla factory in Austin.
"Truly shameful of the media to dredge up an injury from two years ago due to a simple industrial Kuka robot arm (found in all factories) and imply that it is due to Optimus now," Musk wrote in an X post on Wednesday."

This is how stupid he is
"Musk had “extensive ties with the persons tasked with negotiating on Tesla’s behalf,” including management members “who were beholden to Musk,: among them General Counsel Todd Maron, who was his “former divorce attorney.”"

After you use your divorce attorney to help you steal 60 billion from Tesla, when a judge overturns the 60 billion on the grounds that the board wasn't impartial (you know because one of them was your divorce attorney), you should definitely get pissy and move your companies to Texas, then badmouth Delaware
