  1. Elon is a hustler from way back. I suspect Murdoch’s kid is on the board for when Trump starts to cut federal loans, tax incentives, grants, government business to his Companies. Those actions would put the company out of business almost overnight. When that happens you can bet Foxnews would start crying the blues about Trump damaging american ingenuity.
    I suspect Ms. Johnson-Rice is there to add a Black woman to the board. Kind of a twofer.

  2. The last thing I want to do is own a car from a company with a founder who would walk away from it all at the drop of a hat. You can’t blame it all on his Asperger’s.
