Note that this is separate from his tweet that was discussed earlier (and arguably more noteworthy given that it happened during Tesla’s earnings call today)

Poor impulse control. Over and over again. Wish he'd focus on business and spend less time trumpeting on twitter.

This particular article was about a tirade on his earnings call today. =/

Maybe we should tattoo "poor impulse control" on his forehead?

How the fuck with anyone more than 3 brain cells continue to worship this guy as some hero?

OK, he has to be doing this on purpose to troll us all. You just can't make this stuff up. He even managed to outdo Trump's "jokes" about disinfectant, that's simply awesome.

When people talked about Trump's actions being part of a grand 4D chess scheme, it's hard to believe, but EM may be a different story...we'll have to see

Or perhaps instead of being some sort of elaborate troll chess game he just has a valid point. This is not going to be a popular opinion here on HN, but I think it’s absurd people who are championing for opening and business to get back to work are shamed and dismissed as ignorant. It wreaks of soap box moral superiority. As Elon said “Silicon valley has become sanctimonious valley.”

There are lots of positives, including perhaps the biggest news from Gilead today. That in tandem with the fact that I believe a vast majority of the population already has the anti-body (were sick or no symptoms). Test ability is ramping up significantly, and lastly I happen to live in an area that was not a major “hotspot” yet the local city officials are at odds with the state officials about opening.

but EM may be a different story...

My bet is no; he's just as asshole. But like you said, we'll have to see.

that was not expletive-laden it was not a rant he sounded pretty calm, but annoyed to me.
