Elon AI is going to be the best and easiest product ever. It’ll just rotate between the usual five reply phrases, accusing either the prompt subject or the user of being a pedophile, making an outdated joke that wouldn’t have been funny in 2002, and making a completely unrelated promise of his product taking over the world.

From a few pages back but lol that 31 hours of this isn't even work. Miscellaneous is all just personal stuff. I don't count eating a meal as "work" even if there's a meeting taking place. And "working alone" lmao. Right. Jerking off is hard work.

Zulily Zoetrope posted:so just to sum it up, it's both his paypal failure and wechat's success that is at play here I'm a few pages behind here, but for the first bullet point there's more stuff there that adds an extra layer of lovely hilarious intrigue. Peter Thiel owned some company whose name I can't remember, it was trying to be an online bank. They had no money but had like the project that would one day become PayPal which was used to process transactions, but didn't have the money to do all the other bank stuff like loans and what have you. Elon Musk was their biggest competitor, he had lots of emerald money and owned a website called x.com he wanted to make into Banking on Internet too. One thing they hadn't cracked - how to process transactions properly. Thiel and Musk enter into a merger, Musk thought he was buying the missing piece of his puzzle and Thiel thought he was getting the capital needed to be a real rear end bank. In the merger Musk had the most shares (but not a majority) so he got to be CEO and the merged company retained the name x.com. During this time the little PayPal project takes off in a big way, Thiel and anyone in the company with half a brain realized that if they hyper focused on this instead of the whole bank thing they could realistically become the primary way people buy poo poo online. However Musk only wants to be a bank on the internet and refuses. He wants to go super wide to do all this banking stuff and he's the big boss man so they have to do that. Now here is the best part. Musk gets married and goes on a Honeymoon. Pretty much the minute he stepped on the plane there is an emergency shareholder meeting. In the meeting they vote to make Thiel CEO, rename the company to PayPal and scrap everything except the PayPal stuff. Musk learns that both his company and his life's goal of being the internet's first functional bank have been taken from him hours later when the plane lands.

Not quite according to the account I read. Musk was in on the call, but the thing was that he was very persuasive in person and over the phone wasn't able to convince people not to go through with it.

Stunningly artificial in appearance and message, spouting empty garbage, which makes it equal to most CEO’s and thus technically correct.

The fact that Elon is and has always been obsessed with making a "financial superstore" is also extra lmao. Like what the gently caress does that even mean I'm gonna go to X.com and click on the GET CAR LOAN button, then X it to my friend as X bux *adds to shopping cart* Like dude if you want to be a bank they have those, they're called banks And it is not some super gold rush untapped internet market They have regulations and laws and everything
