When will people realize that Elon only has one trick: lie really baldly really publicly, pressure the shit out of a bunch of smart engineers until they get to their breaking point, and if it works you’re a “genius” — if it doesn’t, just throw it on the pile of other completely outlandish shit that you said that never mattered.

Borrowing against shares is the dump.
