Musk learned the hard way why other billionaires don't get directly involved in politics, and buy politicians instead. That way they get what they want, but let the politicians take the heat for pushing through the billionaires agendas.

The problem for Musk is that his ego wouldn't allow him to sit quietly on the sidelines calling the shots. He had to prove how smart he was, and how he was the only one who could fix the government. Now, he's pissed off almost everyone, has lost various large foreign contracts for his companies, drove sales of Tesla into the ground, and is watching Trump undo the "brilliant" governmental cost cutting that he did.

And, his ego still won't let it go, as now he's suggested he'll start his own political party. You just know the other billionaires are looking at him and going "What a dumbass!"

I had to look it up. Pajeet is a racial slur in SE Asia, apparently.

Leave it to 4chan to import all the slurs from around the world

Perhaps even less surprising, this particular racial slur apparently came from 4chan.

Even if he loses hundreds of billions of dollars he's still richer than like 99% of individual people worldwide will ever be.

I will save the schadenfreude for when he pays for the deaths of men, women, and children who were denied care from the USAID funds being cut.

Somehow nobody has mentioned the drugs? And obvious signs of mental illness? Obviously high functioning, but that does not make the decisions less nuts.

Has anybody seen the Johnny Harris video on musk? It was all fun and games until the drugs came out to play.

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.

He is secretly a shareholder in BYD and shorting Tesla. Nothing else makes sense.

Are people that stupid to overvalue Tesla that much for years or is somebody stabilizing the market rate? Somebody is playing 5D chess but it is not Musk.

Do I even want to know what a pajeet is?

[–] [email protected] 63 points 3 days ago (10 children)

You probably don't.

I looked it up after not hearing the term before.

Tap for spoilerIt's a slur for South Asians. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pajeet

5d chess or not, hear me out.

He may be autistic enough to burn it all down from the inside.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It's not fucking autism it's the fact he's a perpetually kholed dickhead

Just say "retard" if you're gonna say it. Lazily censoring it seems worse, because implications.

Reminds me of that show Billions where the dude seemed on the verge of losing it all, but it was actually a ploy to short some stock or some shit like that. Was a great show with a complete asshole of a protagonist.
