Is it too hard to post sources?
He only said it once in June. And on that date, Republicans lead Democrats on Generic ballot polls by +2.5 points. Generic ballot Polls

That doesn’t look like a promise to me but I won’t give you too much grief about it.
Yup, I am. There were a lot of folks over on the other thread swooning over all those great charts and happy talk about robot profits who bought in at $1000-1100 pre-split. They weren’t thinking for themselves. They wandered into a thought bubble kinda like Elon has.
Our biasedness shows up here. I don't see how a comment stating:
"Massive Red Wave in 2022" doesn't sound like he thinks there's a massive red wave in 2022? What am I missing?
I guess I'm biased through my own rose colored lenses.
Edit: Like I will gladly admit I'm an idiot if this Twitter thing totally takes off, at least someone should admit they were wrong when they are (I just saw no red wave). They couldn't even win the Senate and some Republicans felt there were going to be 55 Republicans.
1st link I found:
Rick Scott: Senate Republicans have path to 55-seat majority
GREENSBORO, N.C. — National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Rick Scott (Fla.) says Republicans will likely control 52 Senate seats next year and have a pathway to a 55-seat majority, given…

Looks more like he thinks that will be the case or that he hopes it will be the case (a stretch) — Promise though? That’s a taller tale than robotaxi being operational three years ago.
Maybe Elon getting booed by an entire stadium full of people at Dave Chappelle's show last night will serve as a bit of a wakeup call. Probably not, but one can hope.

Elon Musk booed on stage with Dave Chappelle: 'Weren't expecting this'
Many people started jeering the Twitter owner when he came onstage at the Chappelle show, but the comedian had a quick comeback for the haters.

I am glad to know that one man on earth, Elon has all the business, marketing, sales and customer service and retention solutions mastered. He is a cowboy and makes no mistakes and those he does will all never impact the company in the future. Never thought I would think this but I would love to see a new CEO and let Elon go play in his toy room and not talk to others. I also don't think he gets the best advice from some of his friends.

Yes hopefully he wakes up and brings Twitter to Texas and away from an an expensive, crime ridden place where he no longer feels represented but is still taxed like he is.Maybe Elon getting booed by an entire stadium full of people at Dave Chappelle's show last night will serve as a bit of a wakeup call.

And what happened shortly after his tweet?
Roe v Wade overturned. That saved the dems. (Even though still lost the house and barely have the senate.)
Not really a promise, more a "here's my prediction" and it ended up being very, very wrong.
As I alluded to, the Chinese citizen is pretty much woke-free. There are no social justice warriors, no activists, no partisan blabbering about nonsense. Everyone just want to better their lives through their own hard work. The Chinese rarely blames anything for their own destiny except themselves. No one plays victim hood like they are being marginalized and require any social warrior justice to help them either.
Now I'm not saying woke free is great either. It's high in productivity and there are people who suffers but are used to it. Like for example, are Chinese people racist? Yes 99% of them are racist or classest. People are being marginalized, just that no one complains about it. There are millions of people who are being treated unfairly, except they don't complain but just accept the way it is.
What is going on in the US is woke gone wild. It's way overdone to the point that nothing can be done anymore before someone calls you a slave driving fascist. This needs to be toned down.
Yes, China is a paradise for its citizens and a shining beacon of freedom and rationality...
It may look great to a CEO to have workers locked into a culture of 6-day, 12 hour work weeks (look up 9-9-6) and sleeping in dorms at the factory. But perhaps not so wonderful for the vast majority. At least they get to enjoy that day off in the midst of a surveillance-happy police state.
Is that what humans are here for? Is this the light of light of human consciousness Elon is trying to save by defeating wokeness and colonizing Mars?
Seems like a bit of a let down.
“Hey thanks for saving us Elon! Oh... wait...uhhhh...."

Struggling to understand the point. Are you suggesting that because sales were good before Elon lost his mind they will still be good even after increasingly crazy Tweets?

Apparently it takes more than 50% higher grocery, rent/home price and energy costs to get people riled up enough to remove accelerationists from their post.
Of course the alternative was do-nothing bench warmers so not that shocking. The predictions were way optimistic.
I feel like you only read a sentence from my post.
He said nothing of the kind. Please read his post again.

That's really why.... he bought Twitter, lmao.
Elon Musk’s jet tracker on Twitter has been shadowbanned, claims owner
Musk had noted that Sweeney's "@ElonJet" account was a security risk, and earlier this year, he offered to buy it for $5,000.www.teslarati.com

He was apparently booed by a small percentage of those people. No need to exaggerate like that.

I don't know about that. Their contention was .... he is a fraud.
There was a recent interview of Kara Swisher with Mehdi Hasan that I think summed up Elon well. She says EM behaves like a reasonable business executive most of the time .... but is autocratic 10-20% of the time.
