Tesla's Elon Musk is smart and a genius but 'a little off his rocker', prospective jurors in the 'funding secured' trial say

But perhaps the strongest opinion was one from a jury candidate who spoke up about Musk's approach to Twitter, which he took over in October and which analysts believe has hurt Tesla's share price.One woman said Musk wasn't a very likeable person, according to the BBC. Asked by US District Court Judge Edward Chen whether she could still be impartial, she said:"A lot of people are not necessarily likable people. Sometimes I don't like my husband.

The automaker's shares shot up 11% in price in a matter of hours after the tweet, but the deal never happened.

What a headline.

LOL! 😎

He's no genius. Watch GlassOnionKnivesOut and you'll see who he is.

If he was a darling of the left, and a right leaning source published this, there would be cries of 'ableism' on stories like this since he has asbergers. He's impulsive and comes across out of the norm publicly. Signs of asbergers.

Elon Musk's next drama: a trial over his tweets about TeslaSAN FRANCISCO (AP) — While still grappling with the fallout from a company he did take private, beleaguered billionaire Elon Musk is now facing a trial over a company he didn't. Long before Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion in October, he had set his sights on Tesla, the electric automaker where he continues to serve as CEO and from which he derives most of his wealth and fame. Surprised he didn't say '69 Billion and 420 million dollars' because he's an edgy meme lord. Really enjoying him floundering away. What a fraud Will Musk tweet in jail? His actions are unforced errors and his words are often reprehensible.

That's a pretty strong buy signal! The car is not too profitable. It's equal to 1000s of IPhones' worth of batteries and materiel for one car. 1 Iphone makes profits for years on apps and music.
