Don't you realize that being nice just makes you get hurt?

Amazing. Dude wasn’t asked to help, because he wasn’t needed. He unnecessary builds a sub that is not practical, or asked for, leaves it behind because ???, and now is trash talking the people who actually saved the kids. loving lol.

I bet he tries to pay someone to take the "sub" through the cave when the area is open again.

In a just world, Musk bird making GBS threads should have stock price drops that hurt and get his board of directs to tell him to STFU and say a notsorry at least, but this is a world that elected Donnie and where birdshite reporting it has removed sveral thousand+ bot accounts cause its stock to drop.

On the contrary, I think musk is a dumbass but it would be cool if next time he could help he actually does so instead of posting dumb poo poo on twitter and building a submersible child coffin.

I don't remember him offering to do it for free. iirc he did send help to get a hospital back online. The quoted price he gave for PR was a poo poo load better than the poo poo show contract PR had which was corrupt as gently caress 2 man op. Parking a bunch of Tesla's or Prius on the side of the road would done a better job.

he said he would do it for free if it took him more than 100 days or something, it was just another pr stunt because hes a giant child who loves attention

Didn't Musky post tweets of him being asked by someone to help, then follow-up with conversations between him and the lead rescue team guy who asked him to continue building his crazy idea as a "just in case"?

How does a mining company that digs out 8 billion dollars in gold go bankrupt?

食べちゃダメだよ
My uninformed guess is creative accounting to leave a hollow shell of a company behind to manage the cleanup and then under-fund that because what do you care, you've got your money and it's not your small town.

Edit: this approach is also popular if you used to manufacture asbestos and don't want to pay compensation to all the people you're slowly killing:

They paid out all the profits to shareholders and executives.

Also, they didn’t actually sell the gold for eight billion dollars. That’s what it would be worth if they had hoarded it till 2018.
