@ayuwaker@Wintersgoldapp0@Alexander19887@RightWingCope "A car manufacturer (who made public statements criticizing CAHSR) digging up an old vactrain concept that he obviously knew did not work and had no intention of spending money on? Unrelated to CAHSR. Not even a possibility. Nothing he stood to gain from it being cancelled."
@ayuwaker@Wintersgoldapp0@Alexander19887@RightWingCope Why are you assuming I didn't read it? Why are you bringing up it being from Reddit? Why are you shifting the goalposts from "Elon deserves the credit for his companies" to "Elon is not an idiot"? Why are you bringing up Hyperloop when it's known he hyped it up to defund CAHSR?
@jonnycr77227209@TopGyaru these videos massively exaggerate the complexity.
FGO aside, every lookalike is usually in different series. and by then you can easily tell them apart
@ayuwaker@Wintersgoldapp0@Alexander19887@RightWingCope See, this is also ironic - you're the one who wants tweets chewed up for them, and yet you're insulting me instead.
Here's a simple explanation - you're a tool thinking what Elon wants you to, which makes it ironic for you to project that on others.
@Wintersgoldapp0@Alexander19887@RightWingCope I mean. His only profitable company is SpaceX, which he also bought, and even then he attached xAI to it, making it no longer profitable anyway.
Wouldn't call him a Pirate though. More like a reincarnation of Ponzi?
@Wintersgoldapp0@Alexander19887@RightWingCope I'm equating an ungodly amount of fraud and stock manipulation as a "bad thing".
To be fair, I do also hate the way rich people can just reinvest money to get even more money with zero effort, but that's besides the point.
@Wintersgoldapp0@Alexander19887@RightWingCope Having an ability to get a trillion dollars in cash in one place at one time, while having no debt?
Is that supposed to be a trick question?
@Wintersgoldapp0@Alexander19887@RightWingCope I wasn't even finished typing, god, calm down.
The core difference between us is that I don't consider bad things as "accomplishments". I believe it's a word reserved for good things.
Musk might have performed the greatest scam in the world, but that's not an accomplishment.
@Wintersgoldapp0@Alexander19887@RightWingCope First of all, he isn't actually a trillionaire. Everyone knows that his stocks are massively overvalued and he can't cash them out. That's the key to his explosive growth - his image as a tech visionary let him make impossible promises that the public bought anyway
@Wintersgoldapp0@Alexander19887@RightWingCope Did SpaceX learn to not blow up their rockets? Did Tesla learn that lidar is important, actually? Did Twitter learn that telling all advertisers to fuck off is a poor business strategy?
No. They just jingle new, shinier keys, until the line goes up
@Wintersgoldapp0@Alexander19887@RightWingCope Wake up, please. Musk isn't learning from his mistakes, and, to begin with, one should not be allowed to make so many mistakes. This isn't a kindergarten, we shouldn't be giving out participation trophies, especially when those trophies are billions of dollars in stocks.
@Wintersgoldapp0@Alexander19887@RightWingCope the problem is that you call failure a success.
you must be one of the guys who cheer when spacex has "totally expected rocket explosion number 194"
@Wintersgoldapp0@Alexander19887@RightWingCope he's good at lying, sure, but that's not exactly something a society should be encouraging.
if you want to call "repeatedly dressed up failing companies as groundbreaking successes and pumped their stock beyond all reason" an accomplishment, then you can do that i guess.
