Elon Musk

I think I hate him more than Bezos.

wonder how much free government money this guy got

Bezos is more successfully evil partially because he's smart enough not to, for example, develop this sort of extremely online persona

assuming you only want 10 billion dollars and not 100 billion dollars, i think musk is successful on those terms precisely because of his extremely online persona. without that, there is no way the stock price (and therefore his personal fortune) would be where it is.

he can't get to bezos's level by shitposting, but he is the most successful shitposter of all time.

imagine if bezos had musk's fanboy army

he'd get them doing mechanical turk shit for free

Bezos at least created a successful business

musk had alltime great pr before the shit posting, its hurt him, if not in the stock price... yet

i mean seeming very publicly unstable is not something the big money tends to like, they wont complain as long as theyre making money but once theyre not

i think going nuts was his best option

im willing to listen to your thesis

What Dorothy illustrates is that you can put in the Neuralink, remove it, and be healthy, happy and indistinguishable from a normal pig.

Meaning no disrespect to the pig community but this doesn't sound like a necessarily desirable outcome if you weren't a pig going in to the experiment.

Why can't this guy drop dead?

I have a friend who I think bought a Tesla yesterday. The day before his trip to the dealer I made fun of him for supporting Elon Musk, con man and neo-libretarian asshat, and my friend had no idea what I was talking about.

(libertarian, not librarian, or whatever got posted))

neo-librarian

Musk does seem the sort to collect a bunch of books he didn't read just to look good in his office.

Just because i dig living on mars, ruining astronomy, and converting public wealth into private profits does not make me neo-librarian does it? am i the baddies?

I learned today that a big chunk of Tesla's revenues ($428 million in the most recent quarter), the difference between them being profitable and not, comes from selling emissions credits to other auto manufacturers, for various jurisdictions around the world.

thanking u in advance, I will be sure to use that the next time I have to discuss this clown (which is way too often)

disappointed that elon has yet to bring a firefighting robot or covid antibody drone into service yet

firefighting sub

Firefighting submarine seems more his speed.

Wow

So ... Nikola partners with GM, which sends Tesla shares down, then this other short seller party publishes research and fraud accusations against Nikola and *Nikola* shares do down, all over the course of a couple of days ... if I didn't know better I'd say something fishy is going on.

lol

Our investigation of the site and text messages from a former employee reveal that the video was an elaborate ruse— $NKLA had the truck towed to the top of a hill on a remote stretch of road and simply filmed it rolling down the hill. pic.twitter.com/n2NLDGInzR

absolute cesspool of an industry

the 'rolling downhill in neutral' industry is gaining momentum at exponential rates, though

lmao

Be right back, founding a company called Sisyphus that specializes in pushing electric cars to the top of hills *and* rolling them down.

who does this guy think he is, elizabeth holmes?

...its all connected

Tesla stock TSLA chart resembles Bitcoin bubble in 2017, says analyst https://t.co/yvuuLmIcab #bitcoin pic.twitter.com/U1RbV1OexK

lol that analyst

it's all about charts

tbf tesla makes real cars that go, afaict. there seems to be some light financial crimes, but they do make cars. the nikola thing is theranos.

i'd say $TSLA chart is shaping up into a classic triple-charge summit - you can see the first "base camp" in March as the line consolidates gains and redistributes them to the previous baseline. the first real climb goes from march to late june, interrupted by an overnight "pause for breath", followed by a dawn ascent to Bravo camp in early August. all of that was clear enough, but not everyone agrees on the meaning of the heights of late August. was that the summit? it was cloudy, everyone was relying on their instrumental readings rather than sight, and no one on the trip had been above 20,000 ft before. we can only see that musk quickly retreated back down. did he fall or was he pushed? or is he just redistributing the gains and insights to Bravo camp?

could just be head and shoulders too

even money theyre doing major accounting fraud, tho maybe that qualifies for light these day

yeah i mean "light" as in "light treason"

Light as in permanently removed from CEO office, permanently barred from ever serving officer or director of a publicly trading company ever again, as well as multiple $20M fines.

i mean the eron guys went to prison

The Hobart Mercury reported on the opening of an EV charging station in Hobart, Tasmania today. It has nothing to do with Tesla or Elon Musk but they thought this was the best image to illustrate the piece with.

Belongs on the claustrophobic movie posters thread.

For sure, it's like a cross between Back to the Future and Big Trouble in Little China. (Both by Drew Struzen.)

Muskophobic.

Tunnels are the solution to traffic. You can have as many levels as you want. Usable tunnel depth far exceeds tallest buildings, so would work even for New York or Beijing.
