Elon Musk has been an icon of technological success, but his moves this year — led by his purchase of Twitter — have slashed his financial bottom line and tarnished his personal capital.

The Boring Company

, a Musk startup that aims to build tunnels under U.S. cities to speed traffic, has completed just one project — a loop under the Las Vegas Convention Center. Boring has teased projects in L.A., Chicago, Maryland and Fort Lauderdale — but hasn't followed through with actual bids,Musk's Neuralink is developing technology for human-computer interfaces directly implanted in human skulls. As is often the case for Musk projects, Neuralink has presented video demos — most recently

You lie, was a year of big gain for Musk, he's gotten enough money what gives him joy now is to change the world positively.

Only in the small, leftist bubble, that you people live in

good

Yawn

Rich3Dawg No one makes a billion dollars; one takes a billion dollars.

The Fascist are really afraid of Musk... freedom terrifies them.

Which is why I think he needs to lay off the culture war stuff, and focus on rocket science.

mehdirhasan He might be “just fine” if his $44 Billion RightWing operation to influence the 2024 election goes bust- but Tesla needs & relies on buyers who care about Climate Change& overwhelmingly vote Democrat. Spitting in face of your market share is probably a dumb marketing idea.

and I'm sure he accurately believes that it's worth it

nancylevine Speaks volumes about the inequity of our society that he can loose so much and still be so rich.

it's amazing how self-destructive people can be and how unable they are to handle anyone disagreeing with them

dont know why journos tippy-toe around paper billionaires. tesla will now forever be known as the official magamobile. at least in the US market.

mehdirhasan Not sure how you can sum up Elon Musk without mentioning his interventions against Taiwan and against Ukraine, suggesting each should just be given to the aggressor next door. Those proposals are the most telling: authoritarian-loving, particularly beholden to the Chinese regime.

Musk as an Icon was a Beltway myth created by media like Axios

Now do Axios!!!

He was abused by his Dad and now you all suffer so he can get approval from no one who cares

SIfill_

SIfill_ Quickly becoming one of America’s most hated person.

mehdirhasan he's been a success according to what metric and who made it a success actually? and what about all the lies, non successful technology he is responsible for! are you going to report only his success?

SIfill_ But he gets to own the libs

mehdirhasan He’s the world’s most successful grifter

mehdirhasan I don’t really care, do u?

mehdirhasan The first part we now know was an illusion. He doesn’t even understand basic science. He’s just another conman with an inheritance, buying other people’s work, taking credit, and convincing himself he’s a genius.

mehdirhasan Ahem. Your honor. Lol. Lmao

Glad you’re worried about his net worth

Not to mention some character flaws.

This guy loses on the level of 45

He puts his name on other people's work, he's no genius, he's a fraud and it's finally coming out.

And his self destruction is just getting started. His net worth and the value of all his companies should shrink 90%.

Only in liberal eyes (I lean liberal). In conservative eyes he’s gained tremendously. And in true liberal eyes, those who believe in free speech even when it disagrees with them, he’s gained too. And, as he says, it’s not about the money, it’s about doing what’s right.

Or you’re wildly wrong

Maybe making idols out of normal ppl with real human flaws & blindspots actually wasn't such a great idea... 🙄

I weird nerds and right wing human shields incoming!!!

His “moves”? What moves? His dance with the star moves or Grand Master Chess moves? What the F does it even mean? Chicken shot media can”t even state the obvious unhinged tweets of Elon Musk and Trump like a behavior is “moves” as per Axios. Wow!

'Tarnished his personal capital.' FYI, 💩 doesn't tarnish. It's just 💩.

And the only person to blame is himself

Oh my God the richest man in the world just lost some wealth bringing free speech back to a world Being taken over by big government

I'm all about buying an electric car. Would never buy a Tesla.

Silly article, the man is still working to send men to the moon with NASA, in the news everyday with Twitter, he went for...and Axios says he had a bad year.

Not to mention his integrity, ethics, trustworthiness, humanity etc.

RN_JW733 The Russian asset’s employees are the only reason he’s got money and he treats them like shît. That’s all you need to know about this dangerous creature.

Brave man to risk what he worked so hard for in order to expose corruption and for free speech.

Man is a chode

Boycott Tesla !

Only if you think like a leftard

Talk about shut up and dribble, 🤣🤣🤣

elonmusk has shown the world who he truly is! He can never reclaim his reputation.

ReplyGPT

See the fear in MSM, even among those self-claimed neutrals 👽

Cry more! You’re part of the problem. Biased one-sided ignorant media. 🖕

He's just like TFG if not worse, so Karma is a bitch🤭

And every day, he reinforces what a tool he is.

Gee, I wonder how he answers this? elonmusk

Cope

Anyone investing in stocks have slashed bottom line -Democrats billionaire tax -low IQ idea against capitalism- will go after the middle class- ugly polices were made -not for you -for them.

No one gives a flying fook about the nerd! Stop with the coverage already.

Hardly. Wow you guys have your heads in the sand.

BeBest 🤣🤣

is this journalism now?

you smoke that strong weed as long your judgement is changed

Some things are more important to some people and that’s a gain not a loss.

He behaves like a loose cannon. I remember he called someone a pedophile in 1 of his tweets. hard to admire or root for musk.

Don’t think personal wealth is anywhere near the top of the list in how the man measures his success

By next year, he'll be volunteering for the first Mars flight 😂

Hard to know who to believe anymore. The right-wing spin machine says he's fixing it and making it way better. The left wing spin machine say it is dying. The truth is probably that it is somewhere in the middle.

I don't think he cares.

You mean acting like a juvenile delinquent frat boy doesn't go over well with the business community at large?

Try to be less blatant. Two tweets in one day showcasing your agenda against Elon.

Exactly… it’s fairly obvious to most Americans this is not a publicity stunt. He saw a problem and is working to fix it.

He can always become another RepubliQon grifter if needs be.

Elon Musk being forced to buy Twitter is what happens when a poor dude w a big mouth and no skill over bets on a game of pool.

Maybe he's trying to accomplish something that is a little more important.

Check back in a year or so. elonmusk

'elon musk is threatening our propaganda network and we hate it'

There's no W in Elon

Remember Nikola Tesla died alone, in poor health and penniless

Lawrence Climate change believing Dems buy his silly electric vehicle! What did Musk think was gonna happen when he told everybody to vote Republican? 🤣

Lawrence It takes a while to recharge.

Yeah, my 401 K has Tesla stock, too. Let's not let Twitter comments cause people to think buying a Tesla is like buying furs or ivory. Think, before you tweet. You have a lot of stockholders.

Musk plays with people’s lives as if they’re hotels on a Monopoly board. What trauma happened to him? He seems to have gotten stuck at about age 10.

Somehow I think he'll be fine. It's no FTX afterall.

Lawrence May it continue to be so in 2023

Axios out there acting like it’s not a recession and everyone’s losing money not just Elon.

Lawrence Yeah, and where are SenWarren and SenSanders? They only mouth off when $TSLA shares are up.

Imagine having the money and resources he has and still f***ing it all up.

Seems like supporting the current GOP Republi-cons leads to a slide in one's fortunes. I'm looking at you Elon and Kanye.

Lawrence I wouldn't own a car from a traitor

Lawrence Elon is not worried. Why? Because if even with stock down 50% & spending x amount on twitter, just 1 Billion dollars = $1000 x $1000 x $1000. which he still has many billions left!!!!

Crying about him on his platform is pretty lame.

big wheel spend and spend

His own doing/undoing….narcissism can be a real B sometimes

This is the big Axios headline about Elon Musk after this weekend’s twittergate. Pathetic.

what’s axios stance on elon musk releasing internal documents of the suppression of news being done at twitter before he purchased the company

Disagree. He’s a national treasure. Winning isn’t calculated in dollars

As long a elonmusk invest in dogecoin his bottom line will 1000x dogecointoadollar

I'll say.

Billionaire looses money to make the world better. You love to see it.

He's just fine.

They've done nothing but proven to me he's an oligarch who gained a large portion of his monies by not paying taxes and using tax payer funded corporate welfare (tax breaks/incentives). Oh, since he purchased Twitter I've learned he's also a fascist bigot.

elonmusk is the epitome of what mental illness plus money looks like. It is a dangerous combination

elonmusk tarnished your reputation too. Apple doesn't fall far from the Afrikaaner apartheid tree. Does it?

He’s tarnished his legacy forever. He’ll now forever be known as the Nazi-curious Space Karen.

Sometimes you must sacrifice yourself for the better of others and yourself, great job Elon.

'And the world will be better for this That one man, strong and covered with scars Still strove with his last ounce of courage To fight the unbeatable foe To reach the unreachable star' - Andy Williams (Songwriters: Mitch Leigh / Joe Darion)

Chsibley Ego Uber alles

More devastating than any financial decision Musk made this year was erosion his reputation. Musk worked tirelessly to build a public persona as a cool, relatable visionary, when in reality he was just another billionaire hack. 2022 was the year most of us finally saw the truth.

So a billionaire that immigrated from another country that spends HIS OWN money to fix a societal wrong makes a mistake? American billionaires using corporate monies to fund personal agendas are heroes?

Here come the billionaire's boot gobblers

I still think Elon Musk is an amazing engineer and a wonderful human being with bold, humanity-saving ideas. You're just mad we will all get to be the news now and your languishing importance is about to fade even further. Twitter ElonRocks DontBeJelly 1A CitizenJournalsim

Alternative headline. Elon Musk has been an icon of technological success. His moves this year — led by his purchase of Twitter in what he views as saving the world — have decreased his financial bottom line and lowered his personal capital.
