He could have bought two Ford class supercarriers and have $18 Billion left over to stock them.

Was there any mention of what they are going to update "verified" to because paying 8 bucks sure as poo poo isnt verifying anything.

Elon being CEO of 3 companies plus whatever he is at Twitter leads one to wonder - how much work do CEOs actually do

It must really suck to be at Tesla or SpaceX needing something from Elon for an important project but he's too busy getting in slap fights with Twitter users.

I'm a terrible manager but I'm very glad I've been justified in thinking "Man, firing all your senior devs on things no other dev teams know well seems like a REALLY dumb idea".

Depending on how the election goes today, either Elon is going to stomp on the gas to appease right wingers if they do well, or he'll start walking back things he said if they don't do well.

Oh my god he thinks he's gonna use Twitter to redirect civilisation and become a Great Man of History that way.

Elon really sees himself as Ozymandias but instead of saving the world from nuclear annihilation he's giving right wing craizies a meeting spot and allowing people to post racial slurs.

Sometimes you put up stock as collateral for loans, the same way that your house may be collateral for your mortgage. If you don't pay your loan, the grantor of the loan takes your collateral via the courts.

The problem is that I don't simply want 10,000 Tesla shares of collateral, I want $10M dollars of collateral. So if your Tesla shares drop in value too much, I am no longer sufficient covered if you stop paying your loan. So the loan has terms that say if the value of the stock drops below $XXX, then you have to put up $Y Million additional dollars of collateral, for example.

There are apparently some of those stock values getting close to triggering calls for additional collateral.

Well said. This helped me:

I appreciate Elon's lesson to the young folks today that anyone can rise to be a CEO of a major corporation.

Not that they would necessarily be GOOD at it, but still. Uplifting.


Someone should make a video in the same style as the Ukraine battle montages except set Elon's tweets to cuts of the Tesla stock price with the slav electro music playing over it.

I feel like if you're advertising for a CEO to replace you, calling them a fool for wanting to be CEO is a great first step.

But then, the poll was always there for self-validation rather than an actual poll. Just LOL that he got voted off the island though.

Imagine how pissed Elon would be if someone comes in and actually fixes things.

Not that I think he'd actually let them, but still.

I'm trying to figure out what comes first with people like Trump and Musk.

Does something trigger brain damage or depression or another personality changing event cause them to suddenly pay more attention to the rantings of some of the dumbest people on the planet?

Or

Is the admiration of some of the dumbest people on the planet so much like a drug that once you get a taste of millions of people who can barely spell their own name cheering for you, you just go full bore?

Giving people a WEEK to change is absolutely a way to get devs to pay for at least a month to jump ship. Prices will drop a ton after a month or two when:

A. The devs who needed extra time are finished
B. No one is buying it

What a stupid idea.
