Yes, that is unfortunately the measure capitalism uses to judge success. Something something invisible hand I guess.

Encrypted data. Could be backups of important service details in case all their servers are seized, leaked or sensitive data they are holding as leverage, or a private porn collection. Nobody knows until they release a decryption key.

It's actually worse than than because winning the election has been a big windfall for Elmo to the tune of $70 billion: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/11/elon-musk-is-70-billion-richer-since-trump-victory-due-to-tesla-surge.html

It's more like he got a 34,900% return on investment. If you include the $44 billion he "spent" on Twitter that brings the ROI down to a still impressive 58%, outperforming pretty much any market or fund.

They really are good businessmen, but the foxes are now in control of the hen house. Good luck everyone else!

Yeah I suppose World War 2 wouldn't have happened if everyone just sat back and let Germany conquer all of Europe instead. They would have stopped at that right? 🤷

This is 100% because they are also going to try and ban abortion. They only want "the right people" being forced into making new US ~~wage slave consumers~~ citizens.

It's convenient timing that Google Chrome is removing support for ad blocking plugins like uBlock right as Premium sneaks ads back in... 🙄

They won't be surprised, they'll just remain angry because they'll be given new scapegoats to blame by the propaganda machine.

GOP is the party of rules for thee not for me. The leadership are all disgustingly wealthy so they can easily fly their mistresses to another country for abortions, drug fueled sex parties, etc...

Just going to leave this here with proof that Elmo said cars would be fully driving themselves by 2018: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/autonomous-driving/timeline-of-tesla-self-driving-aspirations-a9686689375/

The online retail store Amazon actually loses money too, the main generator of profit for Amazon is actually AWS. Every other branch of the business is about market control.

It also strongly encourages people to return their ballots in person likely because the GOP is already set to challenge mail-in ballots as "rigged".
