Oh dear. Tesla quietly looking for a new CEO…

That won’t be nearly enough. If there’s any hope of salvaging Tesla, it will require 100% of his time and attention (even then it may be too late). Even more so, since Tesla lost a lot of competent upper management, and therefore Musk has to do more of the work himself.

It's too late. He will drag Tesla down because he's too toxic. He's not going to get less toxic. He's told too many lies and has rendered too much corruption. He's also going to be removed from SpaceX or watch it sink.

edit- Of course, he could follow the rules of ressurection.

1. Acknowledge what you did.
2. Apologize for what you did.
3. Atone, for what you did.

The only political figures that ever apologizes are the Clintons for things they shouldn't even need to apologize for.

he can fly his private jet for all that I care, as long as he's gone

On the other hand, CFDT will give him pardon. Unless a state (CA?) can find something to held him accountable at the state level, he's fine here in the old good USA.

This is my brother and I’s assessment as well. It’s too late to repair the brand damage.

Hey, they still haven't apologized for killing Vince Foster!

Wonder how the Foster family feels about his legacy?

More on McDonald’s, on an obvious issue that I didn’t think of. Moreso that other FF chains, McDonald’s has a huge international exposure.

They apparently (quietly) addressed this elephant in the room yesterday:

On the call, company officials said that while the McDonald's brand hadn't been affected by worsening perceptions of the U.S. by overseas consumers, its internal surveys had picked up a notable uptick in anti-American sentiment, particularly among diners in northern Europe and Canada.

"We have seen ... an increase in people in various markets saying they’re going to be cutting back on purchases of American brands," they said.

Well, yes, foreign consumers are showing increasing anti-American sentiment, and say they’re going to avoid American brands like ours.

But, y’know, don’t worry about it. And for God’s sake, don’t tell Trump our business just had it’s worst quarter since the pandemic because of him. We don’t need THAT attention!

Surprised they didn't try to pin it on egg shortages and the price of Biden's eggs impacting their McMuffins.
