If you are surprised that Elon Musk backed out of the Twitter deal, I think you are seriously naive (at least when it comes to Elon Musk). That dude is a con man.

And I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that.

Musk is a fraud, but that’s my OPINION.

As an example of fraud, the dude has been promising robotaxis for nearly a decade. Am I supposed to think that he’s that incompetent? That he didn’t know the technology wasn't even possible? Just because it can’t be proven in a court, doesn’t mean it’s unreasonable to believe that he knew he was full of it (nevertheless, a judge wasn’t so kind to Musk). Other examples would include things like the Tesla-Semi or Cybertruck because those have also been promised to come for years. There are also many incidents, ironically, on Twitter itself. Like the time that Musk tweeted that he was taking Tesla private.

Whether Elon Musk has crossed the line into fraud, legally speaking, is above my pay grade. My point is that, ethically/morally, the dude is compromised. But again, that’s just my opinion. And I’m only talking about business ethics because I don’t know what he is like in real life.

I suppose you could just say that Musk is a hypester instead of a fraudster. I don’t really care about…
