To be fair, Elon has 4x the followers and they're also probably about 4x as rabid
Yeah, Bernie's following was out of necessity, not brainworms. His personality cult isn't anywhere near as strong as most other major public figures.
We must demand that the extremely wealthy
:geordi-no: pay their fair share
:geordi-yes: get in the pit
I know throwing elbows in the pit is not OK, but I would GLADLY make an exception here.
Killing the pit only acceptable if Elon is within 5 metres
if he is, lets hope it's a Meshuggah set so he gets his head crushed
Imagine one programmer making a mistake shooting a rocket into the sun instead of the orbit?
The Parker Solar Probe has to do 7 gravitational slingshots off Venus to even get within 3.6 million miles of the sun.
I haven't done the math but get the sense you could do one off Jupiter right into the sun. The idea that you can add mass to a thing near us and make it smaller is fucking insane. Jupiter's implications are mind boggling and terrifying.
"oops, we accidentally made your rocket 5x bigger, fired it through an incredibly carefully calculated series of orbits, over a period of 8 years. Simple mistake really, happens all the time."
Yep, though I imagine it'd be pretty trivial to "fuck up" hard enough to just burn through all their fuel during launch, thereby making landing impossible.
Yeah, like fucking up a lunar slingshot such that he was in an orbit that couldn't be recovered and would certainly starve to death.
One might hope he'd think, knowing he was dying in a few months no matter what, about humanity and how he can use his final moments to communicate instructions to use his wealth to destroy the system that imiserated millions to permit his egotistical suicide mission, but I looked up Steve Job's last words to his daughter and they were
spoiler
“You smell like a toilet.”
Which is funny because Steve Jobs stopped showering in the late stage of his life, believing his juice cleanse diet prevented his body from producing odor. People close to him said he smelled like poop from across the room in his final months.
But yeah, Steve, it's your kid who smelled bad, not you, you perfect god-being you...
I'd love it if the robot apocalypse started with that.
Followed by Bezos swarmed by drones and Bill Gates turned into one of the Borg.
Reminder, Elon HAS to sell these shares (or else he gets nothing). He has a massive amount of stock options that expire August 2022. He has not sold them all yet.
I'm like 98% sure all this "I'm going to sell stocks because xyz" lately is just so people don't panic and pop the bubble before he made it out with his spoils.
Tesla stock is shit and he knows it best of all. There is nothing justifying the 'value' that most of his net-worth is tied up in.
Fitting that the richest person on earth is a greenwashing tech lord charlatan
Because he travels in a private jet, not a Tesla like one of his unwashed fanboy masses.
Seriously. The dude owned a F1 that he crashed being a jackass in SF. He couldn’t even insure the thing due to his driving record. Who knows if he even has a driver’s license. Maybe that’s why he keeps trying to pitch this stupid “personalized” transportation? I’ve never seen the dude come out of a Tesla in a public road. We probably won’t until we see a stage 4 Tesla if they make it that long.
Isn't Musk here ruining the entire argument about how it's impossible to seize the wealthy or even tax them? Liberals always go on about billionaires with something like "Oh you know they don't actually have a billion dollars, right? Their money isn't liquid, it's all in assets."
Well let's take the assets then or force them to sell assets, ffs
I don't get the last tweet about want me to sell stock? Wasn't he trying to sell a bunch of stock recently?
He sold some last week, after asking twitter if he should.
He neglected the fact that he had to file his plan to sell that much stock with the SEC 3 months ago as legally required, but that wouldn't get him cool e-points so.
Same concept as short selling except you can only play with what you already own?
The only end I will accept for Musk is for him to be trapped inside a Tesla that has burst into an unquenchable inferno
That or encased in an emerald coffin
Maybe both?
The only end I will accept for Musk is for him to be trapped inside a Tesla that has burst into an unquenchable inferno
so trapped inside a Tesla then
Hurry up Bernie; publically call him a pedo and then use the same defamation defence as he did
or even better - use a truth defence
This is Bernie were talking about here. Civility takes priority. Also I don’t even think his Twitter is run by him. But I get that you are joking
He runs his own twitter. He comes up with tweets while in shower.
