It’s gotten to the point that investors on social media are actually clowning on him since it’s clear he’s having the biggest midlife crisis in history with no sign of ending.

Basically was just a slap on the wrist that Twitter HAS to remove targeted hate speech (in this case unfounded accusation of pedophilia) if the target reports it to Twitter, which they apparently haven't in the past.

This is funny in two ways:
  1. This makes Elon's "Pedo Guy" exchange even funnier in retrospect.
  2. This gives the "no 'mods knew' jokes rule" the force of law.

Its not that funny beyond a complete 180 on Musk’s image. Previously you had a lot of the investor class worshipping the ground he walks on because why wouldn’t you. He could pump literally anything and Tesla’s stock growth is ridiculous to say the least.

Now stock watchers are basically wondering what the floor for Tesla is because it’s basically got the perfect descending triangle, it’s clear that Musk hasn’t got a lot of liquid assets that don’t involve Tesla stocks, and is going to keep shoving cash into Twitter despite being a humongous sunk cost.

Edit: The real interesting thing to look for are the investor lawsuits. As investing subreddits are pointing out, investors are left holding the bag while Musk is openly using their investment on an insolvent business with no profitable business model. It’s really wild to watch.

Don't buy index funds? That's why Vanguard owns so much, Tesla is in all the indexes.

Maybe Vanguard can offer an "Index of non-loser CEO companies" fund

A lot of their stuff is just passive index funds so as long as Tesla is listed on an exchange and included in the S&P 500 they'll be holding a big chunk of it.

Getting out a head of not at the end of a crash? But yeah twitter has some costs to keep running, but one they shouldn't be anywhere near that much, two he doesn't seem to actually seem to be putting money towards a lot of those costs anyway.

Possibly he has a bunch of none Twitter related things he needs money for as well?

If he has borrowed against the value of his Tesla shares he probably can't afford them to decline in value too much or they lender might insist on getting their money back.

Krispy Wafer posted:

That lawsuit about his 55 billion pay package is an activist lawsuit, just using a guy with 7 shares as the proxy so the institutional investors don’t get blowback. So it’s possible they are pushing back.

It’s not likely to win, but boy howdy if it does. That would be a massive amount of wealth for Elon to lose, some of which is undoubtedly leveraged against.

Is it $55 billion in cash or shares? If it's shares they're probably not worth $55 billion any more.

I know the old refrain that given his wealth, Elon will never face any real consequences, but are we allowed to hope that he ends up like a Holmes or SBF? He is losing rich people money right now, and it feels like there is a theoretical tipping point at which even the exceptionally wealthy start facing consequences for that.

It helps them justify violence against people. If they're trans or a drag queen or even ever crossdressed, then they're a groomer and valid to be killed on sight.

I think Tesla is an excellent candidate for some accounting fraud. It’s hideously over valued (it’s still worth 10x what Ford is worth), isn’t performing especially well financially, is already suffering large falls in share price, and Musk’s ability to do dumb poo poo like buy Twitter depends largely on his Tesla shares being worth a lot of money.

The temptation to, for example, capitalise some expenses to make it look more profitable than it really is must be pretty strong.

No, that's silly.

It's only when it directly makes Elon look bad and/or hurt his feelings.

Transphobes get radicalised on social media. They adopt absurd positions about trans people. But this is just the start. They start spewing their poo poo at the dinner table, at work and with friends. Just pure nonsense that anyone who hasn't gone down the online transphobia hole can't follow. Which isolates them in real life. Which further drives radicalisation and conspiracy thinking which leads to them to think anyone opposing them or anything they like in any way as being part of some grand trans antifa army that is out to get them and eat children. The alternative is them acknowledging the damage their bigotry has cause them and seeking help.

i honestly don't know who this transphobe is, but it kinda sucks they have over 100k followers (and appears on FOX Business no less!)

what does not shock me, is, like many of the elon muskkkrats, she has investments in crypto and NFTs, still unsure if they invested in that "dogecoin" that elon implied was "to the moon"

he's not actually paranoid, he's playing up the "I'm in danger" schtick to garner sympathy and make people who don't like him look like they want to harm him to all of his sycophants, who do want to harm people, in the hopes of getting the internet to bully his online enemies and force them into hiding irl while he retains plausible deniability


everything is an immature schoolyard game to Elon, He's never had consequences in his life, ever, (except getting shoved down the stairs for being a piece of poo poo that one time) so he assumes that other people (who matter) also don't suffer consequences from his behavior, they intentionally bring it on themselves. This way, he feels like he's own behavior is justified, because if anything DOES happen, it's not his fault

and for the people who don't matter, well, they don't matter, if they did, important people would protect them! apartheid mindset, baby

I wouldn't rule that out, but I also don't think it's impossible that he is paranoid. Dude is literally doing daily affirmations of the 14 words because he has seen one fall of white supremacy already and knows which side he's on.

let people dream that he has nightmares of waking up to a lithium necklace one day, that's not hurting anyone
