While Elon indulges in political theater and self-aggrandizing quips, Tesla is experiencing an unprecedented slump in both sales and stock value.

How does this thread have so many comments and upvotes without a single critique of the source? "TV Fandom Lounge" sounds like some weird AI blog site, and the headline claiming Musk was "close to tears" (in quotation marks, so apparently someone said this...?) has nothing to do with the rest of the text. Nowhere does it clarify who said this about the interview, nor does it even mention crying or tears once outside of the clickbait title. And if you actually bother to watch the interview where he is supposedly "close to tears", he looks completely normal (by his standards). Media literacy is completely dead it seems, people are happy to mindlessly circulate complete garbage as long as it fits whatever political narrative they are trying to push.

If I had five cents for every time I've seen a comment talk about 'weird AI' and I've read it as 'Weird Al', I would have ten cents.

Weird Al always deserves a shoutout!

With the way things are going for Tesla, he should probably consider collecting and selling his crybaby-bitch tears.
