And, tinfoil, but this very much feels like an attempt to steal the election for republicans. Because this is going to impact the infrastructure efforts of the Biden administration AND cause a lot of layoffs among blue collar workers when they can’t send invoices or get paid because everyone they knew got fired.

There was a time when I could have thought that level of calculation of Musk. That time is long since gone. His mouth cost him $44 billion when he was forced to buy twitter because of his edgy comments online. Musk's recent comments about the firings were his version of the criteria of "excellent, necessary, and trustworthy" and did not, apparently include the entire Supercharger team. Any outside observer would say the Supercharger team is absolutely "excellent, necessary, and trustworthy".

This latest action by Musk just reeks like a mania episode with a good dose of paranoia mixed it. I don't think it has anything to do with the election.

I was holding stock specifically to be able to vote Musk out, but this latest move was the last straw. I sold what I had after the announcement yesterday. Its already down $5/share lower than when I sold mine yesterday.
