    No, he cares for Twitter.

    SpaceX lets him pretend he’s some great tech genius, but Twitter is what gives him the validation he craves. All the pro-Elon bots and stans there who fellate him feed his narcissistic desire to be loved.

    That’s why he “sold” Twitter to xAI. So if Tesla does tank hard enough and he gets margin called, he can’t be forced to sell Twitter to cover it.

      If Elon is such a genius, let’s see him stream Kerbal Space Program. I would love to see him get to Mun and back.

        Given his track record with real rockets and real rocket scientists, I would consider it a win for him to make it off the launchpad and back in one piece. 😂

        Now this is a stream I would enjoy watching. I have the KSP platinum on PS4, I know exactly how difficult this is.

        In fact, since it’s his big fantasy, let’s see a Duna return trip.

      realistically, if that were to happen, any other company interested in an acquisition would have valued it pennies on the dollar
