So is Elon Musk's cult of personality finally shattered, or will weak minded people continue to worship him as a god?

Yes to which part of the question? The shattering of the personality cult or weak minded people being entertained by attempts to shift attention away from Tesla's abysmal financial performance?

I always despised him but what really made me hate him was his fake pot smoking on Joe Rogan. Like if you smoke weed, smoke weed. If you don't smoke weed, don't smoke weed. I don't give a shit if someone smokes weed or not. But when you pretend to smoke weed to look cool, then you're really a tool.

The only thing worse than someone trying so hard to look cool is the fact that it's somehow working on people.

With his current track record, he’ll do it 50 years after the Systems Alliance set up a permanent Mars base, and pretend he’s done something new. :p

He appears to be treating his shareholders like shit, too. At least he's being fair.

More bullish analysis on Tesla

Maybe the stock is undervalued.

Likely target for an acquisition. Tesla's technology has enough value to be marketable. It's management team, not so much.
