Elon Musk: Always A Douche

[Caliga]

I think I've mentioned before that I think Elon Musk is a piece of shit and a con artist.

Quoting myself yet again

I thought I also said someplace that I thought he'd eventually end up in prison, but I can't find that quote.  I'd like to amend that statement, if I can ever find it, to "he'll eventually end up in prison, or the White House.  Either one."

They lost my custom when Musk started funneling money to Trump. Don't think I'm the only one.

I can see the companies crawling back to x with their advertising, hat in hand.

Tesla up 15% today.

It's not a bad bet, given that Trump has promised to give Musk the power to decide which of his competitors will get government contracts.

Tesla up 15% today.

The narrative for Tesla is that it will build autonomous robotaxis. So far, that was seen sceptical as their assisted driving system has no regulatory approval for autonomous operation and was unlikely to get it. If Musk is the government now, that might change.

FYI, heard a dude on MSNBC say 50% of the current stock price is a bet on autonomous.

But that was delivered and done at least two or three years ago!

Yeah, by the time Pinto type damage awards are being handed out by the courts, Elon will have sold his interest in Tesla - if he is smart.

He'll do what the gun industry did, and use his political influence to buy a liability shield from the feds.

Musk will be plenty happy with Trump just awarding him the title of prince of Mars (Trump having already nabbed the Emperor of the known universe)

[Admiral Yi]

Hey mongers, good to see you. 

[mongers]

Thanks Yi, hope you're doing well.

Turns out I've been away for a year, how did that happen?

My theory was the Gaza thread gave you a brain clot.

Yeah, I also realized that I was assuming a functional judiciary at that point.
