It would be funny for Musk to share privately with friends. It is a deeply strange and inappropriate thing for the CEO of a billion dollar company to post publicly. Something is deeply wrong with Musk's decision making process.


His process tree has only produced private and reusable rockets, space internet, electric vehicles, and hundreds of billions in value. But he makes crude jokes like 90% of the men on the whole planet. Clearly there's something deeply wrong.


No, the people he hired made that while he sexually harassed women and lied about how good his self driving software was.


So if the people HE hired did those things, doesn't that mean HE put the team together, HE found the talent, HE set the vision, goals, and tasks, so HE led them to accomplish these things, along with funding them? It also means HE didn't design the SDS you claim to be defective, almost like such software is difficult to develop.


He has spent a long time lying about FSD to inflate the value of Tesla stock.


Is it strange and inappropriate if most people think it is a funny joke and laugh it off? Who goes out of their way to look at Elon posts just to be offended?


You don't have to go out of your way to see it. He posted it publicly and it was widely posted on reddit because it was such a odd thing to post.


It is funny. I think it's hilarious and the fact he shared it in public makes it even more so. It's one of his most liked tweets, so a lot of other people also thought it was funny. Comedy is subjective, but if a lot of people think something is funny then it is objectively funny. And it is perfectly appropriate for public figures to reveal something of themselves and have some fun in public. Puritans will always be offended by this kind of sex joke, or by the gays being allowed to marry or whatever, but we laugh at them too, they make it even funnier.

In my opinion what would be inappropriate for a billionaire CEO, and reveal deep flaws in decision making process, and the decision making process of any government official or governing body who subsequently partners with that CEO, is to fraternize with the likes of Epstein after he was convicted, e.g., https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/12/business/jeffrey-epstein-.... But I guess morality is also subjective so people might disagree with me there too.


He can get away with posting just about any silly thought because he has no board of directors to answer to and no one can fire him. Big difference when you are thinking of him as a CEO.


I understand how he can get a way with it, just not his thought process.


What would stop you from posting that? Are they internal or external barriers?


A sense of decorum. It is fundamentally a drawing of a woman showing her vag.


But I like drawings of women showing their vag.


Would you post one on a company message board?


He must be loving it. Like a cat playing with a mouse.
