Man this is great! My theory is the simulation ends when the first person hits a trillion. If that’s the case then this hellscape is almost over everyone! Someone finally won the damn game and we can all log out!

That was the case, but they got a new grant and now the simulation goes to quadrillion

When this bubble pops we are all fucked.

Not everyone, just the avarage person. Billionaires will be just fine and completely safe frome the consequences.

[–] amda@feddit.nl 3 points 1 month ago

They'll probably make way more money still, somehow

My controversial opinion:

We did this with sci-fi.

Too many people think their future actually looks like Star Trek or Mars terraforming movies or whatever, and buy Musk’s claim he’s going to make humanity an interplanetary race.

But it doesn’t work like that.

Space travel is impossibly hard. It is just impractical for human bodies, as they exist now, outside of specific scientific missions. Physics dictates that it is expensive. Quantify it, and basically, civilization woukd have to advance to a point where our Earth problems are already trivial to even begin mass manned space travel.


Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for drone work in space, crazy science missions, and beautiful, hopeful speculative sci fi.

But I feel like the population needs a cold bucket of water. Space travel is not going to save us; Earth is all we got for now.

As proven by the voting public, too many people live in a fantasy land where the impossible is possible, like making lying cheaters into honest presidents. I don’t understand what benefit anybody thinks they could get from a space station on Mars. It’s not like they’re gonna get to live there or get any of the benefits from it. It must be the same people that refused to place any restrictions on Billionaires, like taxes, somehow they think a billionaire base on Mars is good for them.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

That’s exactly what they think. They literally think Elon Musk is going to take them to Mars and automate work with AI robots and such, because nothing in their information sphere ever contradicts it.

It’s not fair to expect the average person to understand orbital mechanics, but putting them in an information bubble like Musk has is not fair to them.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

It would probably work out better for everybody if he actually did take them to Mars.

[–] TheDuke@europe.pub 3 points 1 month ago

True, but at this point, I'm not sure if we even deserve the earth we are on.

Donnie is understandably mad that Elon interrupted his work-time nap.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You mean Tesla, right?

Because SpaceX just got 25% over their 94x guess...

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have no economic knowledge or trading ability, here's my very important prediction...

...this is a huge rug pull and the billionaires in on it are going to make a lot of money.

The thing is - no matter how rich he'll ever be or how much power he'll get. He is, and forever will be, one of the biggest fucking losers this world has ever seen.

This gives me enough comfort to sleep at night.

[–] randoot@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Also just absolutely miserable. It makes me warm knowing the dipshit feels constantly inadequate and constantly alone.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Hitler was also a loser before he went to war with the world. This fucking loser has enough money to fund his own army and start a war. Dude already has the tech to create ballistic missiles. Yeah he is a loser but also dangerous because of his enormous wealth.

[–] Casterial@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

And if their value drops, just have your other company bail them out for triple their value and make your company double in value! Woooo!

I don't think the average trader is convinced of this at all. I think they just know to buy in early to ride the hype, then sell it once the hype dies down. Short term gains.

I wish Elmo will be the first trillionare to be shot in the neck

What is the normal ratio of annual revenue to valuation?

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

10x is considered normal for big corpos.
For growing companies and startups with (perceived) bright future it can go up to 40x, but only for a short time during initial growth stage.

Edit: SpaceX P/E ratio at the IPO is 94. Which is insane.

[–] PostProcess@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Nvidia trades at x22

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Something bellow 4. Something bellow 7 in industries that need a lot of capital to make a little revenue.

It’ll tank once it’s absorbed into the Nasdaq 100 in a few weeks.

It really does amaze me how so many people give him the time of day. I'm not sure his presence in any venture has been a net positive for them at the end of the day.

Every company he has ever touched succeeded at what they were doing despite his constant fuckery.
