And he should know , apparently. From Ryan Mac, NYT ; “Elon Musk has his own connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and the now-deceased financier’s associates. Musk was photographed at a party in 2014 with Ghislaine Maxwell, one of Epstein’s longtime associates and a former girlfriend who was convicted in 2021 on charges that she aided Epstein in his sex-trafficking activities. That image has now been widely circulated online. In 2018, Epstein told a New York Times reporter that he had been advising Musk, though Musk denied that at the time.”

Killing his reputation with the one slice of the market remaining who are inclined to buy his cars.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the general population, but I cannot imagine there is any way back for the brand, at least as a consumer facing one, other than the board removing him and trying to move on. That is going to be difficult for them though because they know they’ve always been massively over valued and almost entirely because of how much the market buys into the mystique of the singular genius story. So if they dump him and hire a real CEO that makes them a real car company, then their comps would see their price fall to half what it is even at this low point.

Musk and Thiel are likely videoconferencing now talking about how it is their ethical responsibility, from a Kantian perspective, to “Coup Out” America

This is genuinly a very good day for US democracy. Any rupture and weakening of the oligarchy is very good thing indeed.

If it’s a coup by the Vanceites it could lead to even worse.
