And he’s still getting a $56b pay package.

Money isn’t real.

well shareholders are voting on it. hopefully like last time theyll deny him. But yes, money is made up

Money is made up for them. For people at the bottom dying of hunger it’s very much real.

Money is pretty fucking real when you actually need it.

[–] UnculturedSwine 6 points 2 months ago

You don't need money. You need some of the things it can pay for.

Maybe should have stayed in his lane and not fucked with the bird app.

Maybe we can work on self driving companies next and not have CEOs.

self driving comapies is a wonderful idea, don't even need an advanced LLM just put some half baked chat bot and it'll make all the bad decisions for you!

Skynet is preferable to Big Brother?

[–] shneancy 4 points 2 months ago

honestly at this point if i had to choose i'd pick skynet, at least it'd be a different kind of hell music instead of the same one on loop for decades

Hyperloop is no harder than air hockey - his interns could do it...

Hyperloop was always just a way of delaying rail expansions to prioritize cars. Every time a major city has announced that they’re going to be working on a new rail expansion to make public transport more accessible, Elon and his fanboys went “wait for the hyperloop!” And the rail expansion would get delayed.

All because Elon wanted to deter accessible public transport, so he could sell more cars. His goal was essentially to get ahead of the public transport push, so by the time it rolls back around again he can go “teslas, FSD, and robotaxis (all generating profit for him) are so common that we don’t need public transport anymore.”

Well a lot of very rich people, universities etc, put a lot of money into trying to build the fucker. The man at that time had an aura of a visionary that can't be wrong or have ill intentions, so a lot of very smart people, engineers etc, put their good sense aside thinking that they were missing something he was seeing, I don't think that moment in time for Elon is ever coming back.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

interns could do it

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

I'm surprised it even had operating profit... but it makes sense considering the build quality / price ratio.

SPY will be fine without TSLA as they inflate USD into the stratosphere
