I don’t have a crystal ball. Heavens knows I want one — my God, the mistakes I could have avoided. But fortunately, I have the next best thing: the uncanny autistic trait to recognise patterns and make eerily accurate predictions for the future. It’s like my personal spider-sense, except it also makes me socially inept. I guess it also makes Robert F. Kennedy Jr. my version of J. Jonah Jameson. However, after writing about Musk for years, my senses are tingling. I can see something biblical on the horizon for Musk that will destroy his entire empire. And, even better, I am ready to put my mark in the sand and publicly state when each of his companies will fall.

Let’s start with Tesla. It’s fair to say that Tesla has been having a pretty hard time recently, with the company experiencing huge sales boycotts and their competition overtaking them in every conceivable way. But only now are we beginning to see the true impact of these problems. Tesla just posted its quarterly earnings, which are 71% down from last year! Also, a leaked internal report from Tesla higher-ups has revealed that the upcoming Cybercab will never make any money, even if, by some miracle, they manage to get it to work (read more here).
