Quick someone get him a copy of snowcrash. Want to see him put out a video trying to ride a motorbike in a long trench coat while carrying a samurai sword and a pizza.

Absolutely the type to get poor impulse control as a tattoo unironically.

elon musk's metaverse would be hilariously bleak.

Comfy Fleece Sweater: Apr 2, 2013; You see, but you do not observe.

I'm 90% sure that photo is from his (first) Joe Rogan interview, where he smoked tha weedy and Tesla shares went down for a bit. Sometime before his twitter downfall and when most everyone still thought he was Einstein 2.0

He sometimes took an uncomfortably long time to answer Joe's dumb questions, like he was thinking about a 4d chess match. It's when I had the feeling that "huh. maybe I'm missing something, but ... he doesn't sound like a super genius, or maybe he has trouble communicating... or am I not getting it?

the signs were all there

BTW apparently he did a second interview this month, but lol if you think I'm gonna listen to it

Someone will post a graph that was made on Stormfront or something made with unsubstantiated data that shows all money that you donate to the Red Crescent actually winds up in the hands of Hamas. Elon will "!!!" and then announce that he had to suspend the program as not wanting to fund terror.

He gets points for announcing the program and then gets them again for stopping money from getting in the wrong hands. He wins twice.

Herstory Begins Now: Aug 5, 2003; SOME REALLY TEDIOUS DUMB SHIT THAT SUCKS ASS TO READ ->>

Someone should really inquire just how much revenue they're expecting that to be because the list of remotely significant advertisers who want to be associated with the Israel Palestine war has got to be drat near zero. Because that reads to me as a roundabout announcement of zero revenue from that part of the site.

Also musk is generally pro-palestine and anti-Israel for... some reason that is as unknowable as the rest of his politics... and in light of that I can't help but read that as one of those image saving efforts to clear your name by donating to charities on behalf of the group you made some mel gibson-tier statements about, except he shoehorned in donations to the palestinian side as well

anyways that's my conjecture

ben shapino posted:

on that note, it's interesting to note that the wording there is "X Corp will" and not "I will." yeah it's x corp's money, but that statement takes ownership of nothing.

Three Olives: Apr 10, 2005; Don't forget Hitler's contributions to medicine.

Reuters posted:

In February, Mark Bova purchased a used 2018 Tesla Model S. Before leaving the dealer, he bought insurance from Tesla itself, finding the initial $93 monthly premium �really reasonable.�

Sixteen days later, as he drove along the Capital Beltway to his Maryland home, he engaged Autopilot, Tesla�s automated driving system. The car started beeping and lurched left � striking a median and flipping. He escaped through a window as the car filled with smoke. An ambulance rushed him to the hospital with back injuries that later required surgery.

�I�m a former Green Beret,� Bova said, referring to the U.S. Army Special Forces. �That was probably the second-most traumatic thing I've gone through other than being in combat.�

His ordeal isn�t over. Tesla Insurance, launched in 2019 by the electric-car company, has promised policyholders �vastly better� service than rivals, as Tesla chief Elon Musk put it in April 2022. Musk also said he aimed to offer �same-day� collision repairs. But Bova says he has been battling the insurer ever since the crash.

He said he waited seven months for payment on the totaled vehicle and still hasn�t been compensated for about $50,000 in medical expenses. That required a call to the automaker�s product liability department because the crash involved Autopilot, he was told. He waited on hold for hours and got hung up on four times, he said. When someone finally answered, the person promised another callback in two weeks. Four months later, he�s still waiting.

after briefly looking into it, the jew comments are from him getting into a big dispute with Matt Wallace (one of the largest Musk dick riders on the platform with 1.3m followers) a few days ago by calling him out for saying that Israel did 9/11. The comments went about as well as you would expect.
