Wall Street Journal- During a tour this spring at Tesla Inc.’s electric-car factory in Fremont, Calif., Elon Musk asked why the assembly line had stopped. Managers said automatic safety sensors halted the line whenever people got in the way. Mr. Musk became angry, according to people familiar with what happened. His high-profile gamble on mass-producing electric cars had lagged behind since production began, and here was one more frustration. The billionaire entrepreneur began head-butting the front end of a car on the assembly line. “I don’t see how this could hurt me,” he said of vehicles on the slow-speed line. “I want the cars to just keep moving.” When a senior engineering manager involved with the system explained that it was a safety measure, Mr. Musk told him, “Get out!” Tesla said the manager was fired for other reasons.

Well if that isn’t the behavior of a man who’s on the verge of becoming a super villain then I don’t know what is. Somebody tweeted at me the other day asking if I was gonna feel responsible when Elon Musk eventually snaps, turns into a super villain and blows up planet Earth. To be honest I hadn’t thought about it but now I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m okay with my part in driving Elon Musk insane. If that’s what it takes for people to finally get on the right side of history and see Musk as the fraud he is then so be it. A real-life super villain would be kinda cool to see if we’re being honest.

This latest report that Elon Musk lost his mind while touring a Tesla factory and started angrily headbutting cars at a Tesla factory makes me think it’ll happen sooner than later. I get why he’s upset. He owns a car company that can’t make cars. That sounds super frustrating. People want their Teslas but can’t get their Teslas cause Tesla sucks at making Teslas. I’d start headbutting stuff too if I were him. I get it.
