The world's richest man is seeking to hire a team of lawyers to sue people on behalf of his electric car company.

"Tesla is building a hardcore litigation department where we directly initiate & execute lawsuits. The team will report directly to me," Musk posted to Twitter, which he is seeking to acquire.

He included an email address and asked people to "please send 3 to 5 bullet points describing evidence of exceptional ability."

1. What an idiot.

Because everybody wants to buy a car from somebody who is lawyering up.
(Sarcasm)

38. Other Tesla stakeholders need to kick this freakish apartheid man-boy to the curb.

.

[Faux pas]

2. EFF him

[highplainsdem]

3. Musk seems to be trying harder every day to prove that he's an unstable idiot. And

at that, at least, he's succeeding...

[agingdem]

4. insanity is very strong in Elon Musk...

he's advertising for lawyers?...so which of Trump's fourth tier counselors will jump ship?...

[zuul]

6. He's advertising on social media for attorneys.

What could go wrong? This was in one of his tweets today:

“Please send 3 to 5 bullet points describing evidence of exceptional ability.”

8. He might actually pay his lawyers unlike TFG

I think some lawyers are willing to sign up with a big name(for awhile), but TFG is famous for not paying. Maybe Musk is different. At any rate, he’s definitely riding the crazy train. And it shows with Tesla stock falling 45%.

[PSPS]

13. That's true. He is known to pay a lot of money for a massage, so he has money.

22. You get a horse.....you get a horse.....

[captain queeg]

34. Sounds like a quote from a movie? Not one I'm familiar with.

[Comfortably_Numb]

36. Oprah Winfrey in one of her shows giving out cars to audience members..

“You get a car, you get a car..”.

[LenaBaby61]

30. THIS 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

[empedocles]

28. An earlier post said 40% drop was a critical point.

[msongs]

5. time for a nationwide boycott of tesla and fascists who are associated with it nt

[Lulu Latech]

7. Oy

Somethings not right with this boy

[Hugin]

21. Apparently, he is his own step-uncle or some such.

Family vine.

[BlueCheeseAgain]

9. Thank goodness I never considered getting a Tesla.

I have to imagine Tesla's prime market is wealthy, urban, environmentally conscious liberals. Musk seems to be doing his utmost to anger as many of them as possible.

[PSPS]

15. It's more of simply a status symbol among the nouveau riche.

A tesla's "environmental" cred is mostly just greenwashing.

[WarGamer]

25. That's a misconception...

You know what the most frequently visited URL on the onboard Tesla Web Browser is??

Drudge.

Seriously.

[hunter]

40. My personal respect for wealthy, urban, environmentally conscious liberals...

... evaporated in the early 'eighties.

I was living in my car in a church parking lot at the time, with the smallest imaginable environmental dumpster-diving footprint imaginable, and no, at our Sierra Club meetings, I did not appreciate whatever insights you'd achieved in your latest visit to Machu Picchu.

41. The only person I know

who owns a tesla is a hard right nutjob. He's definitely not a liberal. He's also the husband of one of my wife's sisters. And, he's super annoying and a musk fanboy.

[LiberalFighter]

10. Will Rudy be one of them?

[Patterson]

23. I hear he's available.

[paleotn]

11. The man / child speaks!

[House of Roberts]

12. I don't expect to ever own a Tesla.

By the time they get affordable for me, they invariably need very expensive battery replacement, which alone is more than my last two vehicles cost me combined.

[DET]

14. Huh?

Who is Musk planning to sue?

[SoonerPride]

19. The people who he deems his enemies

Sound familiar?

[PortTack]

35. Yes...lots of liable suits coming!

[bluestarone]

16. Never, never, never, EVER buy

From this CREEP!

[Bristlecone]

17. He really is an A-Hole at his core.

[Initech]

18. So... he's going to fight himself then?

[Hugin]

20. Ah, the old software developer business model.

I know it well. Where there's 9 lawyers to each engineer.

Spend lots of time and money in court. Don't develop anything of value to stockholders.

[Autumn]

24. I hear the great lawyer Rudy Giuliani is available. I don't believe TFG is using him right now so

he has time on his hands.

[Baitball Blogger]

26. He's turning into such a drama queen.

27. TFG in a new suit.

As I've said all along.

[empedocles]

29. Striking resemblances

[sarcasmo]

31. Tank baby tank.

[PortTack]

32. He sounds just like dotard!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

37. This will be fun to watch

Where is Elon going to find these lawyers?

Link to tweet

[Hekate]

39. He wants people to send three to five bullets to him? -- oh, bullet points for a resume.

Egads.

[agingdem]

42. I'm wondering how long it will take to link Musk to

the insurrection?..my thinking: his biggest Twitter takeover backer is Oracle’s Larry Ellison and Ellison was on a “coup” call with Lindsey Graham, Jay Sekulow, Sean Hannity, and James Bopp…and now the newly minted Republican Musk is determined to allow Trump back on Twitter.. just saying…

[smirkymonkey]

43. Somethin' ain't quite right with that boy.

[pressbox69]

44. Suddenly

Everything Musk touches is turning into crap.

[pressbox69]

45. Soon

everyone will want to avoid toxic Musk, the same way they avoided Epstein before his downfall.
