I am in no way saying Musk = Trump, I'm must saying don't dismiss him from whatever because he's not actually successful, an obvious moron, etc. etc. etc. He has resources (more than Trump). Like Trump he just keeps his name in the media on end and appeals to a certain demographic.

not really sure what were talking about now but i stand by my statement that he has no personal charisma, and furthermore hes currently in a tough spot
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 May 2022 23:54 (one year ago) link
Yeah the obsession w/ the media is a big similarity, iirc there was a story a couple years ago detailing just how hard he works at keeping any negative stories out of the press. Like he would personally hound and threaten reporters who had anything negative to say about him or Tesla, nearly everyone who works for him claimed they have to sign crazy NDAs, etc.

Anyway he’s now trying to crowdsource a legal team through Twitter which I am guessing means a bunch more stories are about to drop

That would be great.

thing about musks media success is basically him and the business media were made for each other theres nothing they love more than the idea that enterprise will save the world, that was his sweet spot, he fucked up when he went full celebrity cause the celebrity media will eventually turn on you thats part of their practice, now this political shift is just very dicey, i mean unless he just wants to become some shitty right wing figure, but its not going to help with selling cars, theres a reason ceos usually dont do shit like this, theyre not trying to alienate half their customers

Tesla is building a hardcore litigation department where we directly initiate & execute lawsuits. The team will report directly to me. Please send 3 to 5 bullet points describing evidence of exceptional ability.just✧✧✧@te✧✧✧.c✧✧— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 20, 2022

i've been watching succession season 3 this week and i can't help but think of kendall. *kendall gets owned* kendall: ok. ok, let's play offense. we need to dominate the conversation space, we're not even talking.

With subscriptions funded by the HEI Network, and supported by his loving wife Toni, Heidecker unveiled one tremendous plan after another — there were Hei Points, which Heidecker described as “the U.S. dollar 2.0”; Hei-lot Season, in which his various friends make pilots to run on the network; and perhaps most grandiose of all, the Hei Ranch, which at the moment is 25 acres of sand but will, after a 10-year plan, be a fully functioning society.
even just reading on cinema summaries is almost as good as the real thing. if only elon could be more like this, rather than like kendall

I mean, I like Tesla! But -- they came up with a thing a while ago, they've been doing the thing. I guess maybe there's going to be a truck but it keeps getting delayed?

theres not going to be a truck, at least not that "cyber" truck
