what happens if musky ends up owning twitter but doesn't want it? does he immediately sell it for a loss?

Elon has zero confidence, zero taste, he's just a terminally online memelord with a zillion dollars. He is a sci-fi nerd, inspired by pop culture, and Twitter feed, and cocaine. He is a bad manager, but he is utterly focused on making what he thinks is cool and futuristic things. He insists his corporations try to make him look cool, to the understandable consternation of the nerds he has to work with to get it done, and the battlement and bemusement of everyone.

I get the impression Elon wants to think he's super cool, and since his daduncle was so poo poo he's desperately searching for validation from everyone

his what now? i thought his dad was just effing his own stepdaughter, is Elon's dad also his own uncle?

jesus gently caress why do white gently caress bois have to drag down the whole of human civ for their borken dicks and daddy issues.

His dad had a daughter with that stepdaughter so elon's dad is also the father of elon's niece/nephew, so he's elon's dad and uncle

It's interesting that Chamath is being brought into the legal battle between Elon's penis and Twatter now:

Twatter is pulling Elon's Penis and those of his billionaire friends into its $44 billion legal hole with a hairy number of subpoenas

Chamath is at least as hated as Elon by those in the know:

Silicon Valley Star Chamath Palihapitiya Is No "Slobbin' Your Knobbin'" Robin Hood

Yeah, I know, I've never heard of Jacobin.com either, or Walter Bragman for that matter. Enjoy all the pseudo-intelligent, closeted parent-hating, anti-capitalist rancor you'll find there, but it's only $1.60 a month to join!

Theoretically, those people would all be employed preparing the habitats for the people who would come after them. You'd need more living space, food, water, oxygen etc. so you would have them working on that. Some fraction of the people would be doing the jobs you need to support those people and keep a society functioning. You'd really barely have got there, so they would also be just starting out setting up enough of an industrial base to keep a population alive long term in an environment that is in no way suitable for humans. Can't rely on deliveries from Earth.

There will not be enough of a society to support luxury.

I mentioned this in a pyf video games thread but it would definitely end up like rapture with an opulent wealthy class and an effective slave class who were conned into coming, then eventually eat itself in revolution

Remember the time that Musk kramered into the Thai cave situation with a sub that wouldn't fit in the cave then when the guy who actually saved all the kids said his idea wasn't helpful he called him a pedoguy then paid his lawyer enough money to get him to convince a jury that pedoguy wasn't an insult.

That's not the guy that is going to take humanity to Mars.

If you tweeted at Elon and called him a pedo guy do you think he'd get angry and sue you?

Yes, and storage of the ones it does produce, and transport since they tore out their railroad connection and deliberately pissed off the rail companies- companies capable of holding century-long grudges- and also their factories are overworked unsafe deathtraps because Musk doesn't like the idea of hazard warnings.

And the cars they do manage to produce that are actually up to standard- which is a shockingly small proportion given the problems with the ones that they consider up to standard* - aren't doing anything new apart from an extremely inefficient battery power load balancer and trying to do self-driving using only image recognition. They are notoriously bad cars.

*Norwegian Tesla owners started a hunger strike with a list of grievances including that the cars don't start when it's cold, they don't start when it's warm, the cars are rusting when bought new, and the doors randomly open during operation.

are the cars still poo poo? it seems like the coverage of stuff like whompy wheels and random fires seems to have fallen off

What's the over/under on Musk having zero self control and unbanning Trump, flooding the entirety of Twitter with sewerage? The worst thing about Trump was that he was freaking everywhere even if you were looking at tweets about chinchillas or knitting.

Part of me does feel Musk would do absolutely nothing with Twitter in so much he's the type of person who would buy Twitter in hopes of getting complete control over the platform. He's exactly like the type of loser forum mod who would edit your posts just to win internet arguments out of kind benevolence because you were saying things incorrectly :angel:

"It's the brainchild of cryptocurrency firm Elon GOAT Token ($EGT), who later this month plan to present it to the billionaire at his Tesla workplace in Austin, Texas.

$EGT said: 'Most people thought we would never do it, but after one year of building the time has come to bring it home to Elon.

'Really we just want to meet the guy and give it to him. After all, he is the most innovative human alive, hence the GOAT - Greatest Of All Time.'"

been playing a lot of fallout recently and this looks like one of those things the raiders have stuck a head on.

if twitter loses a lot of money maybe elon should consider taking the company public and selling shares. could you imagine? the entirety of humanity could come together under his guidance and own a piece of a history changing company. He invented tesla and took it public, now that he's invented twitter he should do the same!

I know people have covered this angle a million times but what is wrong with musk? Like people have said, he could be living the most absolutely amazing life as a billionaire possible, where we'd never even know he existed, like most of the other billionaires.
I've daydreamed about what I'd do if I hit the lottery and usually it starts with "pay off all my friends school loans". Imagine having the power to pay off them all, while still being a billionaire at the end of the day, and not doing it.

His dad is a turbo rear end in a top hat and never loved him which made elon crave attention and validation. Being older and super rich he now craves the validation and acceptance he never got as a child, which is something that money can't buy.

It's why he inserts himself into everything and does it all for the memes, he's trying to be cool for once

It's gotten to the point where you almost have to assume that any information being portrayed as factual in a tweet is a troll or scam or something. There's been so much flip flopping on how to tell who is actually mega-for-real-for-sure verified that it seems hard to tell for sure.

See stock prices eating poo poo on obvious trolls like "insulin is now free". Imagine all of the actual, well engineered scams happening right now that are owning people.
