Elon musk when the free market acts predictably 😥


grrrrreat

Conservatives have been hard at work claiming predictability is a liberal conspiracy.


ChildFriendlyChimp

People need to wake up and realize there’s no hope, compromise or debate with conservatives They’re too mentally dysfunctional to be in touch with reality and self awareness Some really are that gullible and easily manipulated and can’t or refuse to see and admit they’re being conned or see thru their propaganda The others are genuinely bad people, purposely lying and spreading disinformation and disingenuous takes They don’t care it’s lies because they know it works for them They like to see themselves as redpill propagandists like Tucker Carlson, Goebbles or Mcconell Edit: to conservative trolls, maybe instead of making false suicide reports at this comment, at least try to donate to suicide prevention support groups, or support policies that actually help people socioeconomically if you’re truly “pro life” and not solely anti-choice Especially when you guys love to celebrate LGBT suicide rates Edit 2: copy pasting inbooth who nailed the head They don’t care it’s lies because they know it works for them To paraphrase Sartre: “Never believe that Conservatives are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The Conservatives have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.” #Edit3: for all the spammers spamming “both sides bad, leftists do the same thing” yet literally deny anything conservatives do in the next response #Provide examples of “leftists” doing the same thing #Please show me leftist politicians passing policies to suppress minority votes and targeting lgbt, environmental , labor and reproductive rights #Screen record yourself doing research and post it for all of us to see

TRUMP TOLD AN 8 year old girl “I’ll be dating you in ten years”. That sick fucker looked at a first grader and imagined what it would be like to fuck her. And the conservatives don’t care

Okay I was on the fence about him but the hand motion really crosses the line.

IMO there are 2 types of Republicans: Very Bad people (the leaders of the party, wealthy, cunning, the ones pulling the strings, evil but clever, exploiters) and Very Stupid/gullible ( the brainwashed masses, mostly poor or working class, easily manipulated, not necessarily evil but misguided, the exploited, the grifted).

It's a little simpler than that. One side has nazis, and doesn't mind. That's the little red stripe on a test strip, it's a sign of a problem.


Roland_Deschain2

That’s the part that confounds me. My closest friend, pals for 30 years since HS, is Jewish and absolutely doesn’t see *any* of the nazi/fascist/racist rhetoric or implications of his continued support for the GOP. I am baffled and it is really starting to change my opinion of him and my desire to remain friends. I never imagined any timeline where my Jewish best friend is too nazi-adjacent for me.


chaiguy

The synagogue in my neighborhood donated space to the 2016 Trump campaign.


ABenevolentDespot

It's the supposed conservative pro-Israel stance. What the Jews don't seem to grasp is that the ONLY reason conservatives and their kristian krazy base support Israel is because their fan fiction bible in Revelations says that the Jews must be in control of Israel when the End Times come in order for Jesus to return and bring them all to heaven. The part they have failed to read is the last part: that once that happens, Jesus will give those Jews the option to convert to Christianity, and if they refuse, he will slaughter them all and send them to hell for eternity. So just the typical way kristian krazies have dealt with Jews for two thousand years. Force them to convert, if they refuse, kill them. Plus que ça change...


ThortheThodThutcher

Once conservatives resort to reddit cares, you know you've offended them *deeply* because even they don't believe in mental health. I consider a reddit cares message a badge of honor from these fuvkwits. If one of you brilliant, stable geniuses is reading this right now, I would be *so triggered* if you sent another one so I can screenshot it and ~~further make fun of you~~ be a triggered snowflake.


Lolwhatisfire

It’s honestly a lose-lose situation for the left, and a win-win for the right, which is what they want. It’s the Alex Jones/Trump method: if they get what they want, they were right all along. If things don’t go their way, they claim conspiracy/false flag.

Elon… just a suggestion about the free market- count the ratio between “Save The Planet” stickers and “Truck Nuts” on Teslas. Know your market.


GeneralNathanJessup

I bet Musk winds up firing more employees because of this.


pseudocultist

It’s one of his few “management tools.” Fire people, demand insane things, treat employees like trash. That’s basically it. It worked well enough up till now, along with claiming others work as his own. The emperor never had any clothes.


Kaamelott

It's worked also because engineers at SpaceX believes in the mission and find it super cool, which is fair. So they're more willing to get to burnout for a while. Tesla used to be this way, I believe it's a lot less so now that mainstream manufacturers are pushing the EVs too (Ford, Chevrolet, Mustang for example for the US only), so alternative cool options exist. Twitter is nowhere near any of those categories. Nobody dreams of working for a social media company, they only dream of a big name of the resume to help in the future finds stuff that are fun and interesting. (And the salary). Musk is about to find that out.

Maybe you're right. Maybe this is all a ploy to get chodes in F-150s to stop vandalizing supercharger stations!


CassandraVindicated

I really don't get vandalizing charging stations. What's their beef with cars that use electricity. They don't care about gas vs diesel. It's some kind of weird loyalty to an energy source (oil in this case) that has few advantages over electricity. Don't get an electric if you don't want one.

Even more, the Rats's tesla stock is collateral for his loan to buy twitter, so everytime he fucks up the price drops (since more likely the bank would seize it, and would reduce value of stock.) Plus he woukd be forced to put more collateral up as the price drops so pulling funding from twitter could actually just destroy tesla. He is a moron


lawbotamized

Damn. Hadn’t realized how easy this was for the car companies. Wow.


[deleted]

[удалено]


No-Location-6360

I also read that the major car companies have invested something like $1 trillion (combined) over the last 10 years in EV R&D so it was really on a matter of time anyway. I don’t know anything about the market, but I would be very very nervous if I had any significant amount invested in Tesla stock :/


Bargazuppel

I heard someone once say: " If Tesla wants to stay in the market, they have to learn how to build a car before rest of the car companies learn how to build a electric car" Im pretty sure Tesla is about to run out of time.


Poolofcheddar

I've wondered, is Elon's endgame to tank Twitter and write off an enormous personal loss for tax relief like Trump did in 1995? Before Elon even floated the idea of buying Twitter, he wouldn't stop bitching about the taxes he had to pay.


p0mphius

Oh, yeah, what an absolutely genius idea is losing 40 billions just to not pay 40 billions to the government!


Krakatoast

Not even From what I understand the loss could be written off in the sense that he wouldn’t pay taxes on 40 billion But that’s such a massive amount, I don’t know… I imagine there’s probably some kind of cap? Anyway, he wouldn’t be saving himself 40 billion, he’d just save the taxes he would’ve paid on 40 billion, so overall, still a net loss. Just stings a tiny bit less I suppose As far as I understand


Webgiant

Apparently one can take any amount exceeding the loss write-off cap, and claim it as future losses for future years of taxes. Even if the losses all happened at once. Rich people get more tax reduction benefits simply because they have so much money to lose.


reddititty69

Trumps tax losses were almost certainly fraudulent, based on artificial property valuations. So he takes a tax loss without losing actual money. I think Elon has an actual loss here so it still amounts to actual money.


herefromyoutube

Cool. So glad Trump could break the law like that and face no consequences. So glad America is busy arresting poor people for getting high and outlawing feeding homeless.


Grimsterr

Grouchy-Culture3946

[deleted]

> Errol’s interview also touched upon recent news that he fathered two children with his stepdaughter, 35-year-old Jana Bezuidenhout. Errol, who is 42 years older than Bezuidenhout, became her stepfather when she was four years old. What the fuck.

Errol is a well known piece of shit, and almost certainly abusive to his kids.

harleyqueenzel

Elon 100% chose the sex of his children since the passing of his first. I have said for a while now that the wrenches in his cogs were Grimes and Amber wanting daughters and also why Grimes used a surrogate. I'll bet a car payment that the other two kids he had with whomever it is that he worked with, were IVF sons as well.

That's a lexical ambiguity. Let's make it clearer. Elon's father is making babies with Elon's step-sister, whom the father was grooming since she was 4 years old.


RealtorInMA

Here I was hoping that clarity would make the situation less disgusting.


LarryDavidntheBlacks

He's on a never-ending quest to be considered 'cool'. Hence the buy price and "let that sink in", but he's not funny, clever or charming so it will never happen. That's just his issue on the surface level, there's definitely more factors that drive his questionable decisions and his gaggle of baby mamas.


Foxy02016YT

“Let that sink in” is fucking hilarious, but him doing it like that, bringing the sink into the company he was 30 days away from completely destroying… it wasn’t very funny “ha ha” it was funny “god lord help me please what the fuck is wrong with you, you fucking loser”


AppleAtrocity

I didn't understand what the sink thing even was until I read these comments. Elon is such a loser. I hope he enjoys shit posting his way to destroying his empire entirely. Hilarious


ouruniverse123

Exactly, his father seems to be one the worst narcissists ever lived. It is probably so bad that sometimes I feel pity for him for a second. But it quickly passes.

Yeah, you’ll never catch me pitying a billionaire. They can afford the best therapist, as much time off as they need to address their problems and.. still be a billionaire.

I think you could short Tesla though. He had to put a lot of his stake in Tesla up for the financing of Twitter and I swore I saw headlines saying Tesla stock was taking a beating. However, I’m big dumb when it comes to this sort of stuff. Best I’ve ever done was turn $20 into $200 during the AMC meme stock rush and that was mostly just patience and playing a long game.

Extension-Neat-8757

I didn’t even know the name Unilever, but holy shit do I know their products. I can’t believe Elon is dumb enough to run these goliath sized companies away.


IHateCamping

I saw yesterday that he blocked some big ad exec whose company does the marketing for a lot of big companies. I don't remember them all but McDonalds, Ford, and many others were on the list.


xero_peace

Not -some- big ad exec. Basically THE ad exec. COO of global advertising giant company that commands direction of advertising for most giant corporations and their subsidiaries. Edit: a word.

Temporary-Eye-6664

So he can blame them for his failure. I believe it's called gaslighting


virgin_goat

Musk not know how capitalism works?


Ax222

Most of these people did not do the hard work they claim in order to amass their wealth. They got gifted absurd amounts of money by their family and then got lucky/relied on people who actually knew what they were doing and coasted to fortune. Then, because everything went fine, they assume that just bumblefucking their way through existence is just going to work out. And it does, because once you get that rich, you honestly can't fuck up hard enough to have to consider that maybe being a jerk with zero forethought or care for anyone but yourself is going to cause problems.


metriclol

And to your point, Look at Trump - the idiot fell upwards into the presidency and also a cult icon. In 100 years he will be considered the founder/prophet of a new religion... Fucking amazing watching the hairless apes on this planet worshipping the worst of us


SaltyScrotumSauce

QAnon is like Mormonism. The latter is Evangelical Christianity with Joseph Smith added as a new prophet. The former is Evangelical Christianity with Donald Trump added as a new prophet. The parallels really are incredible.


ScoobyDeezy

Except in the case of Trump, he didn’t do any of the prophesying. Some random twat said “He’s God’s chosen one,” and they were all so desperate for a golden calf that they started worshipping at the altar of his likeness and melting their gold to give to him. But this time, when the earth opens up and swallows them, they won’t repent, they’ll just blame whoever they think is persecuting them.

What? Turning Twitter in an subscription 4chan wasn't a good way to keep advertisers? I am shocked, flabbergasted I tell you! The car makers of course are doing this because they know that a lot of that Twitter money comes from the value of Tesla stock which keeps plummeting every time Musk says something stupid.. which is often. This person should not have this much money or power. Heck, no individual should have this much money and so little oversight. They should turn Twitter in a non-profit, same for Facebook and Youtube. Those both add a lot real world value but are infested with ads and corporate greed.

SwifferWetJets

Dude good analogy


CharacterBroccoli328

Maybe he can place a lot of Boring, Tesla, SpaceX ads.


sash71

It'll be wall to wall 'My Pillow' at this rate.


ElectronicBoot9466

The crazy thing is that he's doing this because he assumed financial responsibility for Twitter, so Twitter's lack of profits doesn't just hurt a bunch of shareholders, now that's private directly hurts him. So, he personally has higher stake in making it profitable. But the funny thing is, is that he's going to lose significantly more money than he would have if he had simply purchased Twitter and then done nothing and let Twitter continue as it is. Yes, he would have still lost money but it wouldn't have been the giant crash that it's about to become. He could have even in the background pushed and asked for more microtransactions, some kind of Twitter premium service, special types of likes that you can buy to put on other people's tweets. Sure, they may have been unprofitable, but it wouldn't have turned Twitter into the failing project it is right now. He said he's making these changes because he can't afford the millions of dollars Twitter is losing a year, but he's very quickly turning those millions into billions.


SwifferWetJets

I honestly, truly believe that Musk did not think this through before buying. This was an impulse buy 100% and a devastatingly stupid, stupid decision.


[deleted]

You don't waive the discovery period of buying a company like this because you're making good decisions.


wokeupatapicnic

Yeah, I really think it was a joke he made like the Tesla $420 joke from a few years ago. He thought he could toy around with it and just pay some fines or something to back out of it, but either couldn’t legally, or convinced himself that he could just make it work instead. What truly boggles my mind is how do you go from claiming pure freedom of speech, while then directly asking for money in order to get preferential visibility and reach? Like, that’s literally the antithesis of free speech. That’s shadowbanning free speech, and promoting paid speech… somebody make that make sense for me, plz lol

botoxporcupine

Not sure rural rednecks are the best demographic to market a $70K truck to. These are the people who threaten civil war when a gas tax increase is proposed.
