Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

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.
