I see a lot of people missing the point and concentrate on the Tesla.

The real issue that should put shivers on a spine is that people without any due processes (which is a right given by constitution to anyone living here, including illegals), against court ruling, sending to a prison in a FOREIGN COUNTRY. Not local prisons but essentially human trafficking people to El Salvador.

This is a totalitarian shit, this is similar to what Nazis did (sending Jews and other undesirables to concentration campus outside of Germany).

With this post he tries to send a message that if you go against him, you could even be a citizen and they still might send you to El Salvador's prison.

And we only needed, like what? 3 months?

Elon designs nothing. He finances the design of, sure, and is just as culpable. But let's not credit him with things he didn't, and can't, do.

This. The closest he's ever come to doing any real work whatsoever is kneecapping the engineers who did design Teslas.

In fact, it's clear he didn't know shit about the Cybertruck until the reveal event. He was telling people things like "bulletproof glass" and shit. Would a designer or engineer who was involved in the development of the product have such basic misconceptions about the product itself?

I thought that was the point - he claims to be incredibly involved, and if he was, he's responsible.
