@Sarahp genuinely do not understand this nonsense. Why toss out a globally recognised brand name? It’s madness.

@aranr @Sarahp

Nobody ever accused Musky of being smart..

@jamieannmason @Sarahp that’s the thing though, I think he is smart. But being smart doesn’t stop you doing dumb things. He lacks humility and introspection. Thats his big weakness.

@aranr @Sarahp

I respect your opinion, and thank you for sharing. Mine- Elon is not smart. He has smart people underneath him that make him look smart. Elon has means and opportunity. Other than that, there's no brains or association there.

Jamie

@jamieannmason @Sarahp perhaps. Either way, this ain’t smart.
