The thing is, this turd burgler could lose millions a day for the rest of his life and still retire more well-off than just about anybody. When's the last time a truly filthy rich person ended up in the gutter?

Mark Bankstone could help him do it

Hard crash on the businesses, he sells whatever he has that's worth good money (other, not his, companies stock) and buys a bunch of the destroyed stock. Promises to cede control, but continue funding. Tesla rebrands, becomes affordable and consumer friendly.

I mean, there's no way he would let all that happen. But he's still sitting on an absolutely massive pile of money. If he had the balls to pull the rip cord he could sit right where he is for the rest of his life. He just doesn't have it in him.

If I had fuck you money I'd buy Mount Everest, use my boring company to build a fucking subway railcar tunnel escalator thing. And then build an evil lair on top of my Everest. Fill a moat with lava or some shit, and then never see people again.

Id hollow out the mountain enough for artificial farms and then pay the local community filthy amounts of money to produce my food for me.

Oh. And also, 20 million to whoever can make proton work 100% on ARM64 or create a compatibility layer for x86/64 for ARM.

So much wasted potential

Nobody has done more to disprove the "Rich people are smarter than everyone else" idea.

Remember a decade ago when he was being lauded as our time's Einstein?

........ Hahahahahahaha

Yeah by his own PR team, mostly, but it was a pretty easy fascade to see through when you actually listened to the man speak. Still don't forgive Dan Harmon for letting him shit on R&M with the eLoN tUsK bullshit. Or Star Trek Discovery for that matter, which happened much later after he had already shown his true face to the world. I know Harmon got paid because he's talked about it, but I would really like to know how much he spent on getting a passing reference in the least popular ST show of all time.

I had to look it up. Pajeet is a racial slur in SE Asia, apparently.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 47 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Leave it to 4chan to import all the slurs from around the world

[–] Wolf@lemmy.today 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Perhaps even less surprising, this particular racial slur apparently came from 4chan.

Sometimes Internet racism really confuses me. So Indians are in this case bad because they are.... particularly likely to be Musk stans? Forgiving of rich people who fall from grace? Just generally not hateful people? I don't get it.

Musk learned the hard way why other billionaires don't get directly involved in politics, and buy politicians instead. That way they get what they want, but let the politicians take the heat for pushing through the billionaires agendas.

The problem for Musk is that his ego wouldn't allow him to sit quietly on the sidelines calling the shots. He had to prove how smart he was, and how he was the only one who could fix the government. Now, he's pissed off almost everyone, has lost various large foreign contracts for his companies, drove sales of Tesla into the ground, and is watching Trump undo the "brilliant" governmental cost cutting that he did.

And, his ego still won't let it go, as now he's suggested he'll start his own political party. You just know the other billionaires are looking at him and going "What a dumbass!"

He collected data on all Americans from multiple government agencies, successfully killed multiple investigations into several of his companies, and secured additional government contracts for those companies. Is that what we're calling nothing these days?

5d chess or not, hear me out.

He may be autistic enough to burn it all down from the inside.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's not fucking autism it's the fact he's a perpetually kholed dickhead

[–] mad_lentil@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

k-hole'd

For any confused readers.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Not to be confused with the kohled dickhead, Vance

He is secretly a shareholder in BYD and shorting Tesla. Nothing else makes sense.

[–] plyth@feddit.org 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Are people that stupid to overvalue Tesla that much for years or is somebody stabilizing the market rate? Somebody is playing 5D chess but it is not Musk.

[–] ansiz@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

It's because so many institutional investors own Tesla stock. Most of the big hedge funds and that kind of thing. At least that's what I've heard, but it makes sense to me.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 53 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Even if he loses hundreds of billions of dollars he's still richer than like 99% of individual people worldwide will ever be.

I will save the schadenfreude for when he pays for the deaths of men, women, and children who were denied care from the USAID funds being cut.

Somehow nobody has mentioned the drugs? And obvious signs of mental illness? Obviously high functioning, but that does not make the decisions less nuts.

Has anybody seen the Johnny Harris video on musk? It was all fun and games until the drugs came out to play.

That was my thought. I've never tried ketamine, but watching this clown dance through crises that would destroy a normal person makes me tempted to experiment.

He's not stupid, only suffers from drug induced dementia

I always assumed he was a moderately intelligent tech CEO until I saw a clip a few years ago where he was showing off the evolution of Starlink rockets and he referred to the piping and whatnot on the outside of the rockets as "the fiddly bits".

Unrelated, but he was also wearing a t-shirt that highlighted his noodle arms and his man boobs. You would think that somebody vain enough to get hair implants and plastic surgery would have enough sense to at least dress in a flattering manner.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

if you've seen his body you know there's no fabric on this here earth that can flatter his troglodyte figure.

he was always assumed to be somewhat smart by people who don't know what he's talking about. the moment he talks about anything you know you realize he's full of shit. that's why astronauts he idolized for example never bought his shit, even when he was at his peak of popularity.

he's the embodiment of "it's better to stay silent and be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt". he's also the best counterargument to any idiot who thinks we live in a meritocratic system.
