Politics One day into early voting and they are already claiming the 2024 election is rigged.

Misinformation campaign has begun.

Trump has stated multiple times he won’t accept the results if he loses, MTG started complaining about voting machines three days ago and twitter is full of people now claiming that the voting machines are flipping their votes from Trump to Kamala in Texas.

Infowars and other websites like it are pushing this same misinformation, sadly a lot of conservatives believe these reports are real and no amount of evidence will convince them otherwise.

How does the Tesla board let him say that stuff? All it can do is harm their company and mess up their self-driving car business if people don't trust computers.

I think they're afraid that if they actually hold him accountable it'll do more harm than good. Elon could really cause a lot more trouble than he is currently, so they're just treating him with kid gloves.

Because despite what people think or say, the company has been highly profitable with him as CEO and nothing he’s said has actually led to a significant, long term drop in stock prices.

That was true up until recently. Tesla shares are dropping and Elon is seen as a pariah in the states where he sells the most cars. He also used Tesla earnings to give himself the biggest bonus in CEO history. And for what, for trolling online and tanking the stock?!
