Elon Musk

very little, aiui

I disagree he’s very real and very hardcore

he knows "how to code" but seems to have very little knowledge of the higher level architectural aspects of making software is what it seems like, which is completely insufficient for making engineering decisions for a huge site like twitter

I think he holds a bachelor's degree? but he's not been doing a lot of coding/engineering for a while, he's a very lucky investor who became ceo

he's a sad sad man

seems like he thinks he knows more than he does prob because workers at his other companies have been gassing him up while manipulating him into agreeing with what they want to do

its pretty funny once you see the pattern in his "engineering" career, basically his company merged with paypal early on and people have been managing him up every since, as least as far as the technical stuff, the more business things idk

it was pretty funny when he thought the twitter app was making thousands of requests on every load, just a very not reasonable thing to believe

guys he said “stack” he’s for sure a player

I like a full stack when it comes to software

and pancakes

elon bringing a banana to a gunfight

I think the main thing that pisses me off is this is only the most egregious example of mediocre white men failing upwards into extreme wealth. Fuck em and put their heads on spikes afaic.

regret to inform that I listened to a longer segment and Elon had some ok points, but they were pretty shallow so they were likely cribbed from other people he'd talked to

Thom's committed to never playing Minneapolis again even though ticket sales would be through the roof

Thanks Elon

Lol oops

twitter crappier more unproductive

a pig
in a cage
on rogaine

Elon is both a creep and a weirdo, it’s true.

How is this account not banned yet

Tesla has just been informed by the NHTSA that our cars pose an “imminent threat” to all drivers & are demanding an immediate recall of all vehicles w auto pilot. We are going to fight this to the end, but I’m being forced to announce the immediate recall of our entire fleet. 1/2

They were one of the accounts that got banned in early November. I was surprised they were back. Now banned again.

TSLA down another 6% today, lmao

gotta look on the bright side it can only go down 100%

Below $130!

“Shares drop for a fourth consecutive session and 11th out of the past 13 as they head toward worst month, quarter and year on record”

BREAKING: Tesla is now offering a discount of $7,500 (up from $3,750) for anyone that takes delivery of a new/inventory Model Y or Model 3 in the US before the end of this year.

This is actually a better deal than the $7,500 IRA EV credit would be in 2023 since this is $7,500 directly off the car (and your tax bill on the car is lower due to this) and you get 10,000 free Supercharger miles. The IRA EV credit only starts to be a POS rebate in 2024.

trying to cram some extra sales into this quarter

Don’t think this one was posted

can you turn this guy off hes just talking nonsense

yeah teslas went from like months to years long waitlists to like "we're gonna give you all this shit for free if you buy" no wonder the stock is tanking, plus take into account whatever elon needs to sell before year end

Tbf the discount is apparently forced by the new fed incentive that starts Jan 1. No one will buy a car until Jan 1 otherwise.

yeah but thats a really big discount, a sign of some sort of pain on teslas part, either trying to spiff up a bad quarter or they just have so many cars it makes sense to offer 15% off rather than just wait and sell them in the new year

15% + miles tbf

I know you’ll enjoy this guy’s tl lagoon

Just sold 2% of my $TSLA to stay below 20% margin balance. Painful but necessary. Better to sell a bit now rather than wait to get margin called at a lower price. Will buy back these shares after selling my house. First time I’ve sold $TSLA since margin called in 2018.

jesus lol what is wrong with these people its just a company

how tho

Tesla will be worth way more than Apple + Saudi Aramco by 2030 ($4 trillion). @elonmusk made a similar prediction in 2015 when he said Tesla would be worth $700 billion by 2025.

Tesla ended up being worth $700 billion by December 2020, 5 years earlier than predicted. https://t.co/AB76D671fS pic.twitter.com/pxWQ8UOnPj

yeah at this point they're just doing the "Bitcoin losing 50% of its value is actually necessary and a sign that it will 10x in value over the next five years" thing

He knows how ads are currently run; he's indicating that they can be better targeted with much lower CAC. Advertisers say they want to target x type of person in y region. Those are the wrong variables.

people who pay for online advertising with risky placement love being told how they should spend their ad dollars, especially when the distribution company might not be around in two months

i love confidence

yeah taht whole subthread is delightful

pretty funny to watch all these people argue with a 64 follow account with an av of a sports car, its probably a teenager

So fucking depressing to see actual human beings stanning for a billionaire and they’re not even being paid to do it. In the 19th century were there stans and super fans of Andrew Carnegie or James J Hill?

idk probably, people like a winner they want to be associated with that, thats how you go nazi

rooting for elon musk is like rooting for US Steel

I'm sure there were more stans in an era where there was a sliver of possibility that you, too, you could be a wealthy business owner, but in 2022 lol.
