Means absolutely nothing, as usual with Musk. He could easily match the stolen $9 million in a second, it’s like pennies to him. If he cares, he’d put his money where his mouth is. But all he does is Tweet.
Be happy that he's doing the right thing here, instead of demanding more.
Yes, I also find this suspicious.
I see no difference when the money is in stocks. I have to click some buttons to get my money out of the bank and they have to click a few buttons to sell their stock.
If Elon Musk sells $9 million worth of stock in a few clicks, the market freaks out.
It's not only that, when he wants to sell Tesla stock he has to schedule the sale 5 years in advance.
He doesn't have to sell it. Just say he's donating $9M stock for the convoy.
Tesla Up. Elon Up. Convoy Up. Trudeau Down.
and that's...bad...how exactly? Fuck the market.
When you sell stock that is up, you incur tax, unlike taking it out of the bank.
Amazing how not just GFM, but all of the establishment, memoryholed their support for CHAZ as soon as it went completely South.
Complete control over the media is powerful.
Because CHAZ wasn't just a failure, it was a hilarious failure that undermined near every talking point they needed to use. So not only would people remember it for how funny it was, it would be a strong comparitor for future narratives.
If they hadn't memoryholed CHAZ they couldn't rail on 1/6 so hard.
Is Elon a good guy?
Why was he on Babylon Bee?
WRONG. he's an android that was completed after all the earlier build ('zuc") bugs were worked out. This one is a lot more suave and meme worthy, and less often the subject of memes. They also infused him with part Tay's coding.
I wish more people were just people
Elon is a transhumanist billionaire developing the technology that will further technocratic control. At best, he is Landian post-left accelerationist, who wants to completely unleash based capital to reach the AI dominated singularity. He has been reading some wrongthink literature though, such as Storm of Steel, so there's no telling where his intellectual journey will take him.
If Elon doesn't do it, the Chinese will. And no one wants that.
Yes, I don't trust him. Can we send him dissident books to read?
I pray he finds God.
He did already warn against AI and the dangers it poses. AI is already a genie out of the lamp, so preventing it from becoming our overlords is critical now in the early stages.
If your product got called out for being programmed to do deliberate rolling stops, you'd be concerned about the danger it poses to your business too.
Elon is chaotic good. Sometimes he is corporate evil, but most of the time he is out to fuck everyone in charge over just because they piss him off and he can.
He's one of the richest men in the world. Why do you assume he's not in charge
Because the SEC rides his ass about twitter and other bullshit things. If he was in charge, he would be the one sicking these toothless cunts on people.
Despite what it may seem, money is not the only or whole source of power in the world.
Always has been.
I hope so, but I am always wary of new leaders. His ex-wife isn't great either.
I am no fan of electric cars either, but the leadership at Ford, GM, and Chrysler is all terrible.
If he were to make ICE cars, I would be much happier with Tesla.
Edit: Oh, I forgot about Neuralink too. Don't trust that for one second. I have no idea what he is doing with it.
Has Trump taught you nothing? Stop looking for someone to lead you.
Anyways the only place Elon is a leader is in the space industry. Everything he does is one component towards habitation on Mars. Tesla exists because you cannot use ICE's on Mars, SpaceX is to get there, and The Boring Company is to create the habitats. Starlink is to fund it all, as well as create an easy method for communications on Mars. And so on.
Fair enough. I don't want him as a leader, and I am not looking to him as a leader.
So, it is all just Mars stuff. I think that is lame, but he is free to pursue it.
As an aside, where are the water, food, and heat/energy going to come from on Mars? Does the atmosphere of Mars allow for photosynthesis, and does it allow for Vitamin D production for humans? I just know that Mars is cold off the top of my head and that it does not have a breathable atmosphere.
Nuclear reactors, solar panels. Most of the light would be from artificial lighting unless it becomes somehow easier to create & maintain a large aboveground habitat.
I’m also not a fan of electric cars. Just from the point of batteries have a finite number of recharges and the length of time it takes to recharge a battery vs filling a gas tank with gasoline. But Elon made a product that some were demanding and made it nice and attractive. Like if you tell me I have to get an electric car and I have to chose from a Toyota Prius, Chevy volt, mustang Mach e, or a Tesla, I’m picking the Tesla every time.
Musk didnt 'MAKE' tesla, he BOUGHT it.
telsas are great cars if you like having to rent a loaner for months at a time.
theyre great if you like spending +20k for a car with the same trim as a cheaper one.
theyre great if you want to pay 10k for a powerful home charging setup
theyre great if you only have street parking and cant charge in the winter
theyre great if you like increased tread wear compared to other ice
theyre great if you like losing features at 40 degrees.
theyre great if you like paying an extra $400 a year to own a "cheaper" car with reduced "costs"
theyre great if you like a car that has constantly changing UI based on the mood of the crackhead overseeing forced updates for that year, just like MS does with Windows
theyre great if you want mismatched panels, poorly named 'features', and the dumbest userbase of almost any cars (who also happen to worship musk's company as a deity)
oh and also if you like the idea of taking multiple hour breaks on a roadtrip then youd be offered a seat in this 'exclusive' club.
plus a prearranged route on most trips being REQUIRED to make the trip. good luck with any kind of business that isnt in cali or the few tesla supported highways. and thats without the long term maintenance costs that theyre hiding right now 👌👌.
The feminist one, which I think is the most recent one. I don't pay that much attention to know.
I just know that she said some crazy things.
No. Here's a recent video about Musk from Bode Lang: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ct1_Ice2-8
I'm surprised twitter hasnt banned musk yet. The guy's been on fire recently.

He’s funny but I don’t trust transhumanists. I think their worldview is diametrically opposed to Christians. I fear Elon as I think he is misled.
“Remember this. The people you're trying to step on, we're everyone you depend on. We're the people who do your laundry and cook your food and serve your dinner. We make your bed. We guard you while you're asleep. We drive the ambulances. We direct your call. We are cooks and taxi drivers and we know everything about you. We process your insurance claims and credit card charges. We control every part of your life.
We are the middle children of history, raised by television to believe that someday we'll be millionaires and movie stars and rock stars, but we won't. And we're just learning this fact. So don't fuck with us.”
But this wasn't a crime. The local authorities authorized this and even endorsed it. Can't be a criminal when you have the government behind you.
Downvoters getting confused between what is and what ought to be.
True, but when they did it, no one stopped them. Thus, it was lawful.
