I didn't even realize a BA in physics was something you could do. you can do a BA in any of the sciences at a general college / university, nothing wrong with it (especially as part of a double major). and he got accepted into a good PhD program but went into biz instead. the guy is pretty intelligent and a workaholic, so no surprise he could do well in college. but now he's the richest man in the world and being super rich is like taking an anti-intelligence pill. everyone you talk to says "brilliant idea elon" even if your idea is something completely moronic like starting a useless tunnel company or a humanoid robot or buying twitter. Musk is so rich that other extremely rich people toady up to him, such he can treat them like trash and they'll smile. if that's your life you lose all perspective

goatface posted:He's meant to be. He was the tech hippie who disliked business & marketing and just wanted to build computers for other nerds to enjoy. I'm sure it became self aware performance as time went on, as all public figures inevitably become performers of themselves, but the stories of his early days make it seem very likely that at least once upon a time that's who he was, and that's all there was to it.

Anton Chigurh posted:Very true, but maybe he wanted to make a lot of money instead? Very few people are smart enough to get a BA in physics and also become successful businessmen and CEOs of large companies, or make them profitable. Just look at all the science nerds who work for NASA or CERN, for example. Smart in physics to be sure and many high level PhDs.

So Musk is now in his werewolf / manic episode mode (as indicated by insane tweets starting) which lasts at least several days. So of course, he's now back to buying Twitter because that's the decision he made during the last full moon. So while a werewolf soon wakes up in his human form in a regular bed with a deer carcass in it not knowing what happened, Musk will wake up just the same in a few days next to a fully executed Twitter purchase contract.

A Kim Dotcom tweet from the beginning of this whole "I'm buying Twitter" fiasco: https://twitter.com/kimdotcom/status/1514579444232781825 I'm so tired of the framing of these arguments by these idiots. The whole "freedom" and "liberty" poo poo is so weak and ambiguous. "Free speech" in the sense that only those in a special in-group can use "free speech" while an algorithm shoves endless auth-right propaganda down their throats and radicalizes them even more. These authoritarian "spank me, daddy" fanboys only think of "freedom" and "free speech" in relation to taking it away from others. It also pre-supposes that everyone in the world is using Twitter and gains some huge benefit from it, making it so important for "free speech." Right now, Twitter has about 400 million users worldwide that check in a least once monthly, while less than half of that number don't use Twitter daily, and 75% of users live outside the US. Tiktok has 750 million user worldwide, with Tiktok being an app owned by the Chinese government and has word filters built into it.

That would be odd since I think Hillary is well past "the change of life" and would have to have a procedure to conceive. So I'll predict in the comic she'll birth a Chelsebot he names E=mcHammer2 that calculates Pi to Infinity +1 decimals while creating awful music and bankrupting Elon to the point he has to sell all of his Dogecoin houses. I think that has potential.

What I really want to see now is him following through on his stupid idea of Open Sourcing the algorithm. This could pan out in different ways depending on how they choose to go about it, but every single one of them leads to the destruction of Twitter, either financially, or by rendering it unusable. I can't wait.

CommieGIR posted:It helped Jobs that he was a salesman that new how to con the very people that helped him build the company. So many of the people like Jobs and Elon are sociopathic assholes that only know how to look out for themselves. Yes, that's what I meant by Jobs being a genius at social engineering. I've labeled Jobs as a sociopath elsewhere when I learned more about his life history and behavior after he returned to Apple and revived it when it was close to bankruptcy. I read the article below about the differences and similarities between narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths a few months ago (written in 2016 while Trump was just an aspiring Orange Leader and compares him to other real life and fictional examples of each psychopathology). I did it so I could recognize them more easily to protect myself and my family from them because they can be hard to identify, especially psychopaths. I may have posted it on SA already her and my apologies if I have, I can't remember: Spot the Difference: Psychopath or Sociopath? The Donald Trump Example. I'm not as sure about Elon. I do believe he's on the high functioning end of autism spectrum, so lacking empathy fits and so does higher intelligence, but those traits fit sociopaths too. Both Jobs and Musk were smart enough to hire and retain intelligent employees who could do the work they didn't know how to or would complement what they did know.

trump isn't exactly well known for looking two steps ahead. let him back on twitter and his hosed up brain is going to see you as weak and a loser and then he will clown on you for it. no way both him and musk could exist on there together.

If I could redo my life, I would not get a BS and go for some sort of trade. I didn't know how much money they made in the suburbs/urban because I lived in a very small town. Like plumbers make so much cash per day it's no wonder a good part of them go on to make their own companies.

Trump hates Musk, which is funny because Musk is a Trump supporter, if the texts from the trial are any indication. I suppose Trump is no stranger to holding his supporters in contempt.
