The messages are taken from public records and filings from Elon Musk's upcoming court case with Twitter. They were interpreted by AI.

No way, this silly FMV railshooter is way more intentionally entertaining and competent than anything Elon has any right to be credited with.

Elon Musk sells 4 billion in Tesla shares to prop up Twitter. According to the article his net worth is now below 200 billion dollars.

So I guess we have that in common.

The excuse I always hear when people say billionaires should pay their fair share is "he's not really a billionaire technically, all that is just theoretical wealth tied up in stock value"
Which just makes me think, OK, if he has 100 billion in theoretical stock value, why wouldn't you just cash out of that?
Even in some insane scenario where doing so only gets you 1% of the theoretical value because the stock crashes, that's still a billion dollars.
Say you actually pay your taxes for some reason, that's still, what, like over 500,000,000 dollars?
Which if he lives for another 50 years is 10,000,000 a year which is more than someone should ever reasonably ever be able to spend and that's if you just put it in a savings account instead of reinvesting it.

Why on earth would you keep your wealth tied up in fickle company valuation instead of cashing out into more money than you could ever spend? Does being a billionaire cause brain damage?

Like OK, maybe if you stay the course you could be a 100-billionaire instead of a 100-millionaire, what actual quality of life difference is there between those two state of wealth? What am I missing here?

Number. Go. Up!

Isn't it just the documents from the court case that someone has arranged in a cellphone style thread? I feel like I've seen some of these before.

It's also why

shows up as it's own comment and not a heart on the previous comment or whatever.

That 'liked' as a text message is what happens when you're in a mostly iphone group message and one user is on Android.
I'm in a group chat with some friends and they keep forgetting I don't have an iPhone, so they constantly 'like' messages and everyone gets another text with the full duplicate of the message, it's kind of funny, but that's what that looks like anyway
