ELON MUSK TOOK
AWAY A PRE-ORDERED TESLA FROM
SOMEONE WHO HAD NEGATIVE THINGS
TO SAY ABOUT AN EVENT HE THREW.
A VENTURE CAPITALIST NAMED
STUART ALSOP WROTE AN OPINION
PIECE THAT ELON MUSK WAS NOT IN
FAVOR OF.
LATER, ELON MUSK SAW
THIS AND SAID HE CANCELED THE
PREORDER.
NOW PEOPLE ARE SAYING
THAT ELON MUSK IS BEING PETTY.
I
AM GOING TO DEFEND ELON MUSK.
I
WOULD DO THE SAME THING.
FUCK
YOU, YOU DON'T GET MY CAR.
I
DON'T WANT YOUR MONEY, YOU CAN
KEEP IT.
IF YOU CAN'T BE A CEO THAT GETS
TO CALL SHOTS, THEN WHAT IS
THE POINT?
>> I FIRST HEARD JOE ROGAN SAY
THIS, "WHAT IS THE POINT OF
HAVING FUCK YOU MONEY IF EVERY
ONCE IN A WHILE YOU
DON'T SAY FUCK YOU?"
>>THAT IS SO TRUE.
THERE IS
SOMETHING REALLY EXCITING AND
LIBERATING ABOUT THIS.
IT'S NOT
HARMING ANYONE EXCEPT YOU.
>> I DISAGREE WITH ELON MUSK AND
YOUR POSITION.
BUT FIRST I WANT
TO KEEP BACKING YOU UP.
THERE IS
A TIME TO DRAW THE LINE.
MY DAD
WAS TRYING TO SELL HIS HOUSE 1
MILLION YEARS AGO, A GUY COMES
AND SAYS THIS IS WRONG, THIS
HOUSE SUCKS.
HE IS TRYING TO
HAGGLE AND NEGOTIATE.
MY DAD
SAYS THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I'M
GOING TO ASK YOU TO LEAVE.
THE
GUY SAYS BUT WE HAVE NOT STARTED
NEGOTIATING.
MY DAD THEN SAYS I
WOULDN'T TAKE YOUR MONEY IF HE
PAID MORE THAN FULL PRICE FOR
IT, PLEASE LEAVE.
THERE IS NO
WAY, YOU ARE GONE, I AM DONE
WITH YOU AND MOVING ON WITH MY
LIFE.
>>I LOVE THAT.
>>THERE IS A TIME TO DROP THE
MIC.
IN THIS CASE IT IS BAD PR.
WHAT THE PERSON DID WAS NOT 
THAT
BAD.
>> FIRST OF ALL, BUSINESSES
RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE
SERVICE TO PEOPLE.
IF SOMEONE
DOES OR SAYS SOMETHING YOU DON'T
AGREE WITH AND YOU WANT TO
REFUSE SERVICE, I THINK THAT IS
WELL WITHIN YOUR RIGHT.
IS THIS
BAD PR?
SURE, WHO CARES.
AT THE
SAME TIME I FEEL LIKE WE ARE
ALLOWED TO HAVE OUR OPINIONS
ABOUT THINGS, BUT THOSE OPINIONS
HAVE
CONSEQUENCES.
IT'S LIKE THE CNN
THING.
I WENT ON CNN AND SAID
WHAT I SAID ABOUT HOW THEY ARE
BEING CORRUPTED BY CORPORATE
MONEY.
IF CNN DOESN'T INVITE ME
BACK ON I AM NOT GOING TO BE
LIKE OH, THEY ARE BEING PETTY.
I
STATED MY OPINION KNOWING FULL
WELL THAT THERE ARE
CONSEQUENCES.
IN THIS CASE, THIS
GUY IS A TOUGH GUY AND HE FELT
LIKE WRITING A STRONGLY WORDED
OPEN LETTER.
HERE ARE THE
CONSEQUENCES, LIVE WITH IT.
>>I WILL AGREE WITH YOU ON THIS.
THE GUY THEN CAN'T TURN
AROUND AND COMPLAIN AGAIN.
>>WHICH
IS WHAT HE DID BY THE WAY.
>> HE AND HIS GRIEVANCES.
ELON
MUSK REACTS THE WAY THAT HE DID.
YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY THAT YOU GET
YOUR MONEY BACK AND YOU CAN GO
BUY YOUR CAR.
FINALLY AGAIN,
ELON MUSK, YOU SHOULD BE WARY
ABOUT
THIS.
HE IS THE ONLY PERSON TO
BUILT TWO BILLION ñ TWO
DIFFERENT BILLION DOLLAR
COMPANIES.
YOUR REACTION SHOULD BE
EXCLUSIVELY DUST OFF MY
SHOULDER.
>> THE GUY IS A VENTURE
CAPITALIST, SO HE IS AN
INVESTOR.
MAYBE IT GOT UNDER
ELON
MUSK'S SKIN BECAUSE MAYBE HIS
OPEN LETTER WAS GOING TO
RESONATE WITH OTHERS.
>> I AM NOT HATING ON THE
BLOGGER.
HE HAD EVERY RIGHT TO
SAY WHAT HE DID.
I'M GLAD HE IS
CALLING HIM OUT FOR WHAT HE DID.
THE OTHER THING ELON MUSK
COULD'VE DONE WAS TAKEN HEED OF
THE CRITICISM AND SEE IF IT
WAS LEGITIMATE AND TRY
TO ADDRESS IT.
