Thumbs Up, because he can see through the BS. people treat COVID-19 like it's some hardcore plague and it's not even close.
imagine how society would react if there was a true threat to the common person if they are over-reacting this much from something that only has a tiny chance to kill you.

Guess you live in la-la-land. COVID-19 IS a real threat to EVERYone. There is no cure. There is no treatment. There is no vaccine.

Oh please, I understand and agree that we must keep the economy moving. But it's pure greed so his business doesn't go broke like so many others. could be, yes. |

If Tesla is in trouble with the law, then it's foolishness.

I'm still wondering how that greedy little capitalist stole the good name of Tesla though.  Nikola Tesla is a hero to the techno-progressives and the Greens. This fuckhead Musk is just trying to make money off his name. I was wondering about the same too. And wondering how the people of Serbia feel about it. BUT, I do see Musk as an incredibly interesting innovator and futurist, and I do see him being fueled mostly by the "exploration hunger", similar to a lot of inventors, innovators and explorers of the past. Most were borderline crazy and many of them had very serious character flaws as well, YET we worship their inventions and in some cases them also. I mean Tesla himself was a weirdo (which doesnt take away anything from his brilliance). I admire Space X more than Tesla or Boring Company so far, and I dont think its corporate greed thats driving Musk per se. In the traditional corporate greed sense. If anything, I think there is some greed for power but more of "power to be free to do/pursue whatever". The opening of Tesla against the county orders I am still making my mind up about. My Initial reaction was "good for him and his workers" who from what I hear are not forced to come back but only offered to come back, my second thoughts are "but I hear the safety conditions in Tesla are horrible" and my third thoughts are "well is this just a rich guy being a rich guy or is it genuinely driven by wanting to protect not only his own economy (which he seems to have very little regard for), but his company and ability to keep it afloat in order to move ahead with his entrepreneurship plans"? My latest thought is that he seems to be willing to accept whatever negative consequences there may be from his actions, so it would move me back to "good for him and his workers" BUT the fact he is rich enough to do that also seems other people doing the same thing but without his status and wealth would perhaps be in serious jeopardy so he is in a big advantage in which is easier to be brave. On the other hand, he did make himself rich so why target him for being rich. All of these thoughts are separate from Covid, I am just thinking about a person defying the wishes/orders of their county (while not going against the law of the state). In a certain way one could see it as a rebellion to oppression.

"Rules don't apply to the rich"-ism Always reminds of the saying If a poor person owes the bank money they are in trouble. If a rich person owes the bank money the bank is in trouble. Lol |

Tesla had the best party album ever with "Five Man Acoustical Jam".
Oh....sorry - wrong Tesla. 
I agree - personal greed. Plus, with the condition of the world, who would be thinking about buying a car anyway?
