OK, the conspiracy theory that Musk is deliberately tanking the company is starting to become believable. Given his insistence on people working in the office, refusal to pay the rent seems to be a little contradictory. He may have to reconsider that policy

I remember there was a thread that explained it. But basically it was because you can write it off if you don't pay and you're not liable. He's basically downsizing. It's like how rich people don't pay taxes but normal people have to.

I'd be curious to see the thread in question if you can recall where it was.

Or he was really successful at tricking people into thinking he was smart. Now that he's in the spotlight of the public more, people are shining the light and seeing that he just buys still and claims he made them.
