Elon Musk

i will teach you for $99

is there a guy that tries to sell you classes about making money with bitcoin that wears a suit with bitcoin symbols on it yet?

that's a poorly formed sentence, but i'm talking about a bitcoin matthew lesko.

pretty sure matthew lesko has an ilx connection but i can't remember what it is

Company is full of jerks

that chart is apparently not very different to amazon in 1999, and well, it was a bubble but it was also a good investment. the trick is spotting the difference i guess.

the trick is convincing yourself there is a difference that can be perceived by sufficiently informed people, and that you're genuinely smarter than those other investors and not just fucking lucky

yessssss

The coronavirus panic is dumb

I hate this asshole

We will make ventilators if there is a shortage

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 19, 2020

Anyone wanna bet he’s not gonna make any ventilators

maybe get a start on that now bud, before the shortage hits hmm

Seriously getting upset at the thought of this asshole trying to inject himself into the narrative

Elon Musk has never met the process for getting FDA approval of medical devices.

he will send boxes of short shorts to hospitals with a note that says "i heard there is a shortage"

He will make 2 ventilator prototypes and claim a promise has been fulfilled

You doubters. Bet he's adding vents to the sides of all his submarines as we speak.

guessing these ventilators are going to wind up killing the patients as soon as the cell service goes off

Must be hard for him to realise he’s not needed. Again. Though ironically his one car per mile tunnel might be the solution needed.

sounds like our hero picked up some cpap machines wholesale

if you slap a Tesla sticker on, cpap becomes a ventilator? blah

at least elon isn't 'known for his signature cowboy hat' i guess

At Kimbal Musk's restaurants workers were told community mattered, that they were family. They contributed money out of their paychecks to an emergency fund for workers. Then COVID happened, and the family fund was suddenly unavailable. Read: https://t.co/YTyQdTX7Mi

This fuckin guy

getting nervous that this prediction may not in fact turn out to be true

Based on current trends, probably close to zero new cases in US too by end of April

i wonder if his gf grimezsz got mad at him before or after he decided to sell almost all of his physical possessions and own no house

I would like to see a Musk-less Tesla in the same way we now have a Charney-less American Apparel. I realize that they aren't the same kind of awful, but still.

a Musk-less Tesla would probably still not be very good at manufacturing cars tho nu?

oh I see he's a corona skeptic.

to be fair to him he's clearly high on uppers all the time and probably doesn't get much sleep so that can't be that great for cognition

Also clearly a born dipshit tbfttl

I furiously judge anyone who ever liked this guy

would probably still not be very good at manufacturing cars tho

I don't know about this. I've been pretty impressed by the Tesla when I've been in one as a passenger.

i've never liked this fuckhole

yea Teslas are pretty impressive though they're annoying for a lot of reasons and the interior design is pretty fucking awful

worth mentioning that Tesla existed before Elon bought it (and erased the real founder from memory) and almost certainly would be delivering a higher quality product without him

Musk brought in silicon valley principles like "not trying very hard"

from building a useless contraption that provided no benefit to saving those people trapped in the mine, bragging about it and saying "what have you done?" to some internet rando, to this, to his weird sporadic Twitter meltdowns....

I'm assuming he came through with flying colors on his ventilator promise though, yes?

about that

gotta think well see this eventually one way or another guys like him tend not to stick around, unless he manages to just totally drive the whole business under, but even then youd think one of the big companies wld want to scoop tesla up

I'm old enough to remember when market manipulation like this would earn you a perp-walk into federal custody.

Tesla stock price is too high imo

the last time he tried this, he only had write a check for $20M and step down as chairman of TSLA:

the big issue with them is they have a lot of defects and build quality issues, which is something you wld expect from a young quick growing company, where the big boys are mature and put a ton of effort into limiting stuff like a glove compartment handle snapping off on a six month old car, and tesla has of course been accused of juicing their stats on this sort of stuff

theyre in an interesting spot as theyve produced expensive novelty second cars for rich people their entire existence and are now trying to switch to making cars that people who only own one car can buy, its a huge lift and its gonna be hard for them to get it right all the manufacturing stuff theyve been fucking up on both quality and efficiency levels will just be amplified by trying to make more cars and selling them to people who are really depending on them
