Watching the have nots complain about the money he has is rather entertaining. Why should he give it to charity? Most of them are corrupt anyways. Bill Gates doing good in the world? ROFL, that's another good one!! Ask them in Africa how good he did them.
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly those with less money, are so quick to tell those with more money how to spend it, how to use it, etc etc. yet very seldom do you see THEM leading by example. Then again the have nots have always been great at spending other peoples money.
stevenh - never really was into most of his products to begin with TBH. If you watch them closely over the years as they developed and eventually came out, many of them, the power wall comes to mind, the specs quietly slid, sometimes a LOT from promised, to delivery. If he is insane or not, well, doesn't really matter if he makes something you need, OR want now does it? Speaking of, didn't he promise us some sort of solar shingles for our homes? Those kind of quietly went away too didn't they?
Richard, that IS a good question, what is he thinking of on that move? Perhaps deals were made and someone else is going to take them over, or he's just putting new people in there. He just let people go, he didn't dissolve the division. Maybe he's restructuring it under another branch or something. With all the billions he has put into it, I can't see him really just abandoning it. Something is up we are not privvy to yet. Id like to hear from him, his reasoning before I blindly pass judgement on him for that move.
Most the kids today couldn't give a shit less about morals, ethics, stuff like that, it's blind obedience to their SJW bs. They do what they are told, and most couldn't have an original thought to save their souls, god forbid one be unique and not conform to what's being said at the cool kids table!! They'll claim they hate this or that, will buy this, won't buy that, but when asked why, don't have a clue. Look at the morons protesting at all the colleges as a prime example of the Idocracy at work. At first they loved him, then they hated him after he told the govt to take a flying leap at their censorship and were giving their next target to hate for the week.
At the end of the day, the world revolves around money, and more and more people are just coin operated. Elon figured out a way to collect the coins, so good for him. Note that NOBODY is being forced to buy any of his products, you are GIVING him his money, he is not stealing it at the threat of imprisonment or violence, like the government does via taxes. Don't be angry at him for being rich, be mad at the people who made him rich, that would be YOU and your peers.
Now would be the perfect time to open your own charging network, put your money to work and make YOUR millions, that YOU can then donate to charity as you want him to do. If ford / gm etc is SO worried about their customers, then why don't THEY invest in CCS stations all over?
? instead of trying to piggy back off Elon's hard work and more specifically HIS MONEY? Hell, 90 percent of GM's money is government bailouts anyways.
The wealth if ignorance is astounding sometimes.
