Yea but rich people borrow money all the time because most of their worth is tied up in owning stocks. If he really ran into trouble, he’d start selling his stakes in some of the other companies. It’s a question of how much he really wants to keep Twitter going.

It's just another bubble that is really going to bite us in the rear end

Morning is off to a great start with a trail run/hike. Headed to the Husker bar for the game in a couple of hours, then will probably walk to a nearby brewery for the Diamondbacks game.

My most favorite recent Elon thing is he apparently sent a company wide email to every Tesla employee demanding that every part on the cyber truck has to have a tolerance of 0.0004" for reasons. If you have any engineering/manufacturing experience at all you will appreciate how laughably impossible that is even more.

Any of you dudes ever get a pedicure? I wanted to spend some time with Braks and my feet shreds sheets so I gave it a try today.

It was ok. The lady was nice, and I think my feet feel a bit better, but the best part was the hot towel and leg massage. She told me to come back in two weeks but I doubt that happens. That cheese grater thing does work, but apparently my feet are more ticklish than I knew.

I still have never gotten a proper mani-pedi. Just poor and paying for a high-quality haircut from a rad goth dyke seems like a higher priority for the very limited amount of money I have to spend on things that aren't student loans, gas, car insurance, food, clothing, booze, and tea.

I told her that I was watching The L Word and she told me that she styled her hair like Shane's for years, and I have never heard anything that made more sense in my life.

Did he ever explain where that number came from? The job I just left was circuit board manufacturing, and that is tighter than anything I ever dealt with, so yeah, not a lot of wiggle room there.

Ah I see this winter someone will try to solve the "Can Zac Efron actually act?" question I've had for decades.

Pedicures are great too. If the weather is decentish next weekend I'll get one. I can do my own but it's not as good and my feet get really janky now that I'm back to mostly regularly working out. I tip at leat 20, usually 25, percent because of this.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

I had to pour some concrete today. Had to expend a pad in my basement for my washer because it was 6” too short for the new one I just ordered. Yet another thing that sounds easier than it actually is. Could just be my anxiety from never having done it before.

All that matters is that it doesn’t fall apart.

Lol, I never post my amateur poo poo online. Only thing I ever post is my occasional woodworking projects. If there’s one thing I learned about being online is people love to tear down someone else for even the most minor defect.

Its why I'm pumped for his 40k project with Amazon. For once you won't have a writer staff doing an adaptation that feel like they have to do "their" version of a project by changing characters and stories to fit their dumb ideas that ruin good stories.

LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY AS IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT!
Went to my first Pride event. I'm sure I'm img-timeline on this, but it was extremely weird to see popup booths from Evonik and Ingalls Shipbuilding. Like, we don't discriminate, anyone can make our weapons and poison! You slay, queen!

Had a great surreal moment at a booth where they were handing out like a dozen different types of flags. A lady asked "oooh what is this one" and the guy said "uhhh my friend is running this and she went to get food, I'm not sure what any of them are", so they dug out their phones and were trying to Wikipedia through it "ok that one's binary, this is intersex, uhhhhh"

I'll agree it's weird for unaffiliated corporations to have booths at pride, but calling what Evonik makes poison is a bit of a stretch imo. Unless they have a big business outside of the silicone and epoxy resins I'm familiar with buying from them. They're not making baby formula, but it's not agent orange or white phosphorus either.

elon hates regulations and regulators so I'm gonna predict that at no point does x meet the very stringent requirements to start behaving like a bank
notably, paypal also isn't a bank and gets to endrun around a lot of those regulations but still has had to meet a lot of requirements that musk would have rejected if he'd still been in charge over the last 20 years.
also since he actually runs a space company and even spacex doesn't try to make everything to .0004" - quite the opposite, it famously avoids all kinds of pitfalls of excessive exactitude where it's unnecessary - it's a really weird and actually uncharacteristic demand from him re: the tesla truck. And yeah it's impossible. Also they should be well along in already putting together assembly lines for it so I don't know how that would factor in either.
