I wish people would not make Elmo, something he is not. One of its phoney shuttle rockets blewup a month ago. The thing is such a total fraud and, the fraudulent medias propit up. It only has 2 percent of the total ev sales of the world. 3 million of its cars have recently been recalled, for everything as bad as stearing wheels falling off, to faulty safety equipment. It has dumped so much toxic waste and paint and in calfornia, that they are finally ready to kick its ass out of california. It is a complete criminal fraud and government parasite. What successful flights it has had, with the space station and they are few and far between, were really done by nasa, and nasa alone. It did not start tesla it just had to give back 55 billion dollars it tried to steal from share holders. It has screwed over the stock value of tesla from 600 dollars a share to 128 dollars a share recently. It got a lot of its money through fraudulent cryptocurrency scams and pump and dumps. It did not go to college. It is not an engineer. It has gotten the state and federal govts to finance all of its illgotten pojects. A major wall street analyst says it will be bankrupt by 2025. Its self driving cars have caused 400 major wreccks and killed dozens of people. 3000 of its phoney starlink sattelites have already failed. All of its phoney mars rockets have blown up. Most of its stuff is vaporware, like the billion dollar solar panel plant the state of newyork built for it and is now going bankrupt. Twitter has lost 77 percent of its value according to the moronic bankers, that helped it get 44 billion for its buyout and its oringinal value was maybe 10 billion, so it has lost 51 billion of twotters money. Thousands of its assembly line workers have been injured and severly injured working on its grueling and expoloitative assembly lines. It has completed one .3 mile tunnel in vegas for its totally bogus undergroung transport, boring co. Why glorify this lying fatuous, phoney bastard and write anything about its hyped ass at all . Why post phoney images of its empty space x buildings?
It will crash many banks when its files of lies and houses of cards fall next year.
There have always been brain medical devices for epilepsy and motor control just placing a phoney chip looking thing on the outside of the cerebral cortex is another cruel sadist vaporware lie. The only thing good anyone could say is that all the nonfunctional phoney satellite would impede space weapons and space nukes. But the evil dumn nukeapes would find something. What a phoney unstable world the west is. Probly not so much time left. Ntl
