Don't forget completely mismanaging Twitter, and turning it into even more of a cesspool.
I wonder if the trump cult also now hates him after saying he was the goat for the last 6 months.
He already has fuck you money so he doesn't give any fucks.
Are you serious? He wants people to think he’s cool SO bad it’s genuinely so pathetic lol. All the other billionaires you could say that. But Elon is so desperate for people to think he’s this funny cool based guy it’s hilarious
That is partly true, but also he's a strong narcissist. They make up their own stories. They'll play up the feud to take eyes off of other bad shit.
Don't think for a second he lost or he's gone or it's all over for him. He doesn't see it that way.
He already got access to all the data he paid for.
For now, he does have that yes, but his wealth is for a significant portion a house of cards built on the value of tesla stock. If the value of that stock falls far enough, lenders who gave him loans with tesla stock as collateral could margin call him, essentially asking for more collateral. That could make him the poorest person in the world quite quickly, i.e. billions in debt.
While you're absolutely correct, even if Musk lost 99.7% percent of his wealth he would still be a billionaire (depending on whose net worth number you choose to use). I wouldn't hold out seeing him in a bread line or starting a gofundme.
huh. showerthought:
broke: gofundme woke: sell shares/stocks bespoke: have your company subsidized by the state
The real question is whether the collapse of his house of cards will lead to a 99.7% loss of wealth or >100% loss. He won't be a billionaire anymore if it's the latter.
Yeah, he probably will. I know I'd be surprised if he didn't have money squirreled away somewhere.
I'd also be surprised if no one goes after him for trying to run away from debts. If we know anything, it's that most laws only apply when they benefit the rich, and he'll be making a lot of rich people angry if it turns out he did have extra money squirreled away.
His very low self esteem shows otherwise.
None of them are geniuses, it's just really hard to lose at capitalism when you have capital.
Its a human blind spot. A lot of people confuse wealth for intelligence. In lower socio-economic levels, succeeding involves a lot of intelligence. Its a fucking struggle. Lots of fish trying to eat each other and take what little resources we have. One fuck up and it's all over. So anyone that is succeeding is also someone that with enough intelligence to foresee pitfalls and avoid them or escape with their wealth.
Those values are used to evaluate the people at the top which are swimming in a whole different pond. The neopotism and safety nets built into the upper crust of society is not part of the calculation that a lot of people use to factor into how they see these people. They still apply the same dog eat dog mentality to the upper crust of society.
honestly wealth at any level requires luck… intelligence barely factors into it. it’s less that 1 fuck up and it’s all over, and more that 1 fuck up without someone to cover it up or bail you out and it’s all over… the wealthier you are, the bigger the fuck up before you or someone else can bail you out:
poor? it’s an unexpected car issue
rich? it’s that you fucked over literally an entire country for years on end in a very public way that gained you very little

Next stop: Build an underwater city.
Hey, you need a taxi?
I wish more billionaires would get on those... and visit WW1 era military shipwrecks...
spoiler
The reason why that is a terrible idea is because during WW1, many naval artillery shells used picric acid as an explosive filler, picric acid reacts readily with metals to form highly sensitive picrate salts that are very sensitive to detonation upon being disturbed. Meaning messing with them even slightly has a significant risk of a massive underwater explosion happening. WW1 era military shipwrecks are strictly off limits to divers for that very reason.
I'll donate my Playstation controllers for his scouting sub.

The thing is, this turd burgler could lose millions a day for the rest of his life and still retire more well-off than just about anybody. When's the last time a truly filthy rich person ended up in the gutter?
Mark Bankstone could help him do it

Hard crash on the businesses, he sells whatever he has that's worth good money (other, not his, companies stock) and buys a bunch of the destroyed stock. Promises to cede control, but continue funding. Tesla rebrands, becomes affordable and consumer friendly.
I mean, there's no way he would let all that happen. But he's still sitting on an absolutely massive pile of money. If he had the balls to pull the rip cord he could sit right where he is for the rest of his life. He just doesn't have it in him.
If I had fuck you money I'd buy Mount Everest, use my boring company to build a fucking subway railcar tunnel escalator thing. And then build an evil lair on top of my Everest. Fill a moat with lava or some shit, and then never see people again.
Id hollow out the mountain enough for artificial farms and then pay the local community filthy amounts of money to produce my food for me.
Oh. And also, 20 million to whoever can make proton work 100% on ARM64 or create a compatibility layer for x86/64 for ARM.
or create a compatibility layer for x86/64 for ARM.
It won't work on my Switch with Kubuntu I believe. I have yet to get anything working.
You were so close to becoming a super villain
So much wasted potential
Yea but that requires effort. And I'm rich enough that I wouldn't even want to lift my own fork
