Guest +42×1042 to Elon Musk!
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO said Wednesday such restrictions have robbed Americans of their constitutional rights.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk continued to voice his opposition to shelter-in-place orders imposed by some states to curb the spread of the coronavirus Wednesday, calling the restrictions “fascist.”
Musk commented on California’s shelter-in-place order during Tesla’s earnings call, saying Tesla is worried about production at its Bay Area car factory, where the electric vehicle manufacturer builds the majority of its vehicles. He likened the coronavirus restrictions implemented by the state to “forcibly imprisoning people in their homes.”
“It’s breaking people’s freedoms in ways that are horrible and wrong and not why they came to America or built this country,” Musk said.
“If somebody wants to stay in their house that’s great, they should be allowed to stay in their house, they should not be compelled to leave, but to say that they cannot leave their house and they will be arrested if they do, this is fascist,” Musk added. “This is not Democratic. This is not freedom. Give people back their goddamn freedom.”

Truly strange times when I have found myself praising John Wiley Price and now… Elon Musk.

Elon Musk,
A good guy.
A bad guy.
Many many think and believe him to be a good guy.
Many, perhaps many many, think and believe him to be a bad guy.
So far none think or believe him to be an ugly guy, simply because most probably he is not an ugly one.
Thus far… non ugly is still good. 🙂
cheers
Jeez, I can’t believe what he said about his stocks and shares! He’s such a strange character.
Tesla has always been a target for short sellers, and the precipitous drop in the equity markets likely made some of those lads a lot of money. Mr. Musk is known to hate them, so the stock drop must doubly offend him.
Sure, it can be annoying at times. But sometimes correction is needed and can be instructive.
It gets to be annoying when it enters the “nitpicking” (and the defense of the “nitpick”) phase.
(And sometimes when people are just throwing up a quick comment and it gets “proofed”.)
PS I really did appreciate being reminded of the difference between “affect” and “effect”.)
