    You turn the gas station into a “tEsLa LiFeStYlE dEsTiNaTiOn” where you offer overpriced trendy food, rentable WeWork style office spaces, and fucking sleeping pods or VR rooms idk.

    The problem with so much of this Bazinga shit is that as soon as it’s in practice it looks like dog shit.

    The Cybertruck, the Twitter overhaul, the failed Solar City Business, the failed Boering Company, his stupid automatons…

    Yeah, in theory you can brainstorm all sorts of “good ideas”. But then you actually have to do them, even if you’re just doing a Disneyfied demo version.

    Elon can’t deliver any of it. All he can do is buy other companies and hype their stocks.

    I guess I’m just glad that Elon missed this opportunity because he was too preoccupied with berating his underpaid workers on the factory floor or demanding that his engineers redesign his rockets so the shape “looks cooler”

    I think it’s easy to overlook how many failed businesses this man has had. He’s tried (or at least promised) a lot of the stuff you suggested. It’s just all died out so long ago that we’ve forgotten about it.
