Elon Musk admitted to using two secret alternate accounts on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter) in a deposition for a lawsuit against the billionaire. He said that he used some accounts on the social media site outside of his main public account when he was asked to clarify if he used an account on X that had been linked to him by several users on social media. Some users posted a screenshot of his X interface last year in which the additional account appeared to be visible.

    To me it seems that Elon’s leadership is now actively harming the company and making the cars worse, they have serious quality control issues which are leading to out of control repair and service expenses for the company, and are designing features based on what an out of touch billionaire manchild thinks would be neat instead of what any sane average consumer needs from a vehicle

    Agreed. His time has passed. My issue was the paint fell off in the car wash. Otherwise it’s been a nice car.

    I’ve heard some of the new design choices are questionable. Gears being moved to the screen or something of that nature. The yoke instead of the wheel.

    Why id like to see less of him at Tesla. Let him go play on x and let someone fix Tesla. I think his antics are scaring buyers off.

      Totally agree, I remember how amazed I was the first time I rode in a Tesla and the first time I got to drive one. The car is so fun, I especially love being able to stay warm sleeping in the car on snowboard trips or winter camping. The core is there it’s just crazy the little user experience and quality control things are starting to slip more and more.

      Not sure how you revolutionize the industry and develop crazy battery tech but are stopped by windshield wipers, turn signals, and suspensions. I hope they can replace Elon and get their focus back, but I hope he finds a nice bounce castle or something to fuck with rather than shifting his focus to ruining twitter lol

        Exactly. The car is a blast to drive. For long distances autopilot works an amazing.

        The new design choices seem more about Being edgy.

        Make Elon the cto or something and hire a real ceo. Label him the chief hype officer but get him away the design.
