Alpha males like Elon (Alpha Male) don’t puss around with beta details like who was cradling their dead child in who’s arms. He’s busy grinding with code reviews and doing sick jumps on his stingray and stuff

yes, that is true, it is a life skill. it also happens to be a skill that you have to have in order to be a good programmer, so whether or not Musk has it is germane to whether he is a good programmer.

So why haven't the people who loaned Elon all that money freaked the gently caress out yet

I won’t get into it too much but in the poker world it is very common to either loan or stale people into high stakes tournaments. Maybe the guy has hit a streak of bad luck or he didn’t want to personally carry 10k on a plane and it’s too late to wire. Whatever it is, the poker world is/has largely built on loaning people large sums of money.

Obviously lots of people also take advantage of this and borrow, not win a tournament and end up in mark up. Well this guy owes you money and eventually has to win a tournament so if you rat him out now no one will ever stake him and you’ll never see your money. So more and more people stake him, find out how much debt he’s in and then also has to keep quiet. Eventually someone gets sick of it and spills the beans.

What I’m trying to get at is no one right now will freak out against Elon because it’s in there best interest to be as calm and quiet as possible and hope somehow Elon turns twitter around so they can get as much money back selling the bond. While Elon is not a broke poker player he’s also rich enough to gently caress with banks longer than they figure is profitable for them to do so. Plus it’s Elon Musk, spacex guy! If we stop giving him money then we’ll miss out on the next figurative rocket ship idea he has!

The big banks who've loaned the money are in fact freaking out, but it's a lowkey subtle freakout because, yeah, you don't want to cause an even bigger run on the value of the loans you're holding. There's also a big double whammy effect going on because the loan commits were signed just before interest rates hiked through the roof so the rates being charged are already lower than what you'd get otherwise, as well as the value of Twitter as a company plummeting into the Earth's core. Normally banks loan the money then try to sell the bonds to other investors but they've as far as anyone knows haven't actually tried because they were getting bids of 60 cents on the dollar (!) even before Musk fully took over. God knows what they'd actually go for now after the very public dismantling of the company. The whole thing might end up being a write-off.

Memory should always be suspected, especially your own and especially memories made during tragedies. You need to use context clues and corroboration to help understand certain gaps or incongruities. For example Elon is a shithead without empathy so we can probably rule out he was the babby holder.

How in the gently caress is Carl of Applebees still relevant to anyone? Or Wierd Mike? What audience do these wierdos even have anymore? Gamergate was what, like 8 loving years ago?

Are we going to find out Elon Musk helped fund Gamergate as well?

It's pretty clear Elon was bedfellows with the alt right for a long rear end time but only now has shown his own rear end if he knows who these loving yesterday's losers are

I have actual skeletons in my closet
If its a loan, who cares? Elon is worth enough for banks to get it back. If it is an investment, those guys don't care. They throw away money in VC. Making twitter a reactionary hellhole is expensive but worth it to them. The key for people at Elon's level is to tie everyone's money together so everyone has leverage on each other. Twitter won't survive as a republican stronghold because republicans are small change. But globally, a lot of people want the visibility of twitter to spout whatever bullshit agenda they have. Its a long game and Elon has positioned twitter as a platform for dumb stuff. Its like when Rupert Murdoch bought up media.

They fill the same pseudointellectual hole as Joe Rogan and others that attracts people to the Far Right, so they are still relevant in Right Wing circles.

That might make sense if he hadn't fired everything international for the whole company

He isn't playing the long game, he just believes that free speech not being free enough was Twitter's main problem.

No matter the time, a Thanksgiving meal would technically be dinner. A heavy meal at lunchtime that consists of multiple dishes can be considered dinner. If you have dinner at lunchtime then you have supper in the evening.

Basically my point is that no one has a Thanksgiving lunch.
