5d chess or not, hear me out.
He may be autistic enough to burn it all down from the inside.
why are we still using autistic as an insult in 2025?
he may be moronic enough to burn it all down from the inside, but autism doesn’t have shit to do with it. I’m tired of people trying to use autism as an get out of jail free card for utter stupidity. autism has very little to do with intelligence levels, and even if it does, it’s the other way around according to most studies.
Have you looked up the history of the word “moron”?
Insult? My brother that’s a superpower.
no the fuck it’s not, please talk to some autistic people and report back.
Ket is magic
That was my thought. I’ve never tried ketamine, but watching this clown dance through crises that would destroy a normal person makes me tempted to experiment.
None of them are geniuses, it’s just really hard to lose at capitalism when you have capital.
Its a human blind spot. A lot of people confuse wealth for intelligence. In lower socio-economic levels, succeeding involves a lot of intelligence. Its a fucking struggle. Lots of fish trying to eat each other and take what little resources we have. One fuck up and it’s all over. So anyone that is succeeding is also someone that with enough intelligence to foresee pitfalls and avoid them or escape with their wealth.
Those values are used to evaluate the people at the top which are swimming in a whole different pond. The neopotism and safety nets built into the upper crust of society is not part of the calculation that a lot of people use to factor into how they see these people. They still apply the same dog eat dog mentality to the upper crust of society.
honestly wealth at any level requires luck… intelligence barely factors into it. it’s less that 1 fuck up and it’s all over, and more that 1 fuck up without someone to cover it up or bail you out and it’s all over… the wealthier you are, the bigger the fuck up before you or someone else can bail you out:
poor? it’s an unexpected car issue
rich? it’s that you fucked over literally an entire country for years on end in a very public way that gained you very little
But Musk wants to be a trailblazer and prove that you can lose at anything.
I like the way you put it
The thing is, this turd burgler could lose millions a day for the rest of his life and still retire more well-off than just about anybody. When’s the last time a truly filthy rich person ended up in the gutter?
filthy rich person ended up in the gutter?
there’s not much that i like about the american healthcare system but the idea of fElon eventually ending up bankrupt because of that fucking black eye really had me thinking “maybe there’s something to this”
Are people that stupid to overvalue Tesla that much for years or is somebody stabilizing the market rate? Somebody is playing 5D chess but it is not Musk.
It’s because so many institutional investors own Tesla stock. Most of the big hedge funds and that kind of thing. At least that’s what I’ve heard, but it makes sense to me.
He is secretly a shareholder in BYD and shorting Tesla. Nothing else makes sense.
He’s not stupid, only suffers from drug induced dementia
but also he’s stupid
“He was also stupid” - Ron Howard.
I always assumed he was a moderately intelligent tech CEO until I saw a clip a few years ago where he was showing off the evolution of Starlink rockets and he referred to the piping and whatnot on the outside of the rockets as “the fiddly bits”.
Unrelated, but he was also wearing a t-shirt that highlighted his noodle arms and his man boobs. You would think that somebody vain enough to get hair implants and plastic surgery would have enough sense to at least dress in a flattering manner.
if you’ve seen his body you know there’s no fabric on this here earth that can flatter his troglodyte figure.
he was always assumed to be somewhat smart by people who don’t know what he’s talking about. the moment he talks about anything you know you realize he’s full of shit. that’s why astronauts he idolized for example never bought his shit, even when he was at his peak of popularity.
he’s the embodiment of “it’s better to stay silent and be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt”. he’s also the best counterargument to any idiot who thinks we live in a meritocratic system.
He used to be stupid. He still is, but he used to be, too.
i don’t understand these figures
Lost $300,000,000 with Trump Losing billions more by the day
$300mil was about how much he paid to buy the election, he’s lost about $33bil in stock value of Tesla in the last few days due to the public sniping with Agent Krasnov
Ah, that makes sense
I had to look it up. Pajeet is a racial slur in SE Asia, apparently.
You mean S Asia? India isn’t exactly east…
Leave it to 4chan to import all the slurs from around the world
Is it actually a slur, or just a stereotypical sounding name? Because if its the second isn’t it just like Barry eating his 3rd pie and chips of the afternoon with a pint of wife beater?
Perhaps even less surprising, this particular racial slur apparently came from 4chan.
I am seeing the slur in Instagram as well.
By came from I mean it originated from there.
Somehow nobody has mentioned the drugs? And obvious signs of mental illness? Obviously high functioning, but that does not make the decisions less nuts.
Has anybody seen the Johnny Harris video on musk? It was all fun and games until the drugs came out to play.
Peter Thiel also does a shit ton of drugs and you don’t see him spiralling this hard
Musk learned the hard way why other billionaires don’t get directly involved in politics, and buy politicians instead. That way they get what they want, but let the politicians take the heat for pushing through the billionaires agendas.
The problem for Musk is that his ego wouldn’t allow him to sit quietly on the sidelines calling the shots. He had to prove how smart he was, and how he was the only one who could fix the government. Now, he’s pissed off almost everyone, has lost various large foreign contracts for his companies, drove sales of Tesla into the ground, and is watching Trump undo the “brilliant” governmental cost cutting that he did.
And, his ego still won’t let it go, as now he’s suggested he’ll start his own political party. You just know the other billionaires are looking at him and going “What a dumbass!”
And still some dumb Americans will think:
“Billionnaires got a lot of wealth, so they must know what they’re doing. Let them fix it.”
When the actual answer is:
“Billionnaires never once worked as much as we did. They got born with a fuckton of money. Let them eat cake.”
It’s 5D Narcissism :D
Yes, this. It may be drugs, it may be mental disorder, but what it CERTAINLY is is narcissism and megalomania.
Just like every Trump voter who never thought it would happen to THEM when tornado relief was denied or they were deported or their farm was on the brink of financial collapse thanks to tariffs, Musk seems to have thought he was safe? That HE could control Trump? I knew getting these two megalomaniacs together like this would go badly, I’m just impressed it lasted so long honestly.
Even if he loses hundreds of billions of dollars he’s still richer than like 99% of individual people worldwide will ever be.
I will save the schadenfreude for when he pays for the deaths of men, women, and children who were denied care from the USAID funds being cut.
He won’t though because although what he did is immoral it wasn’t illegal. After all the president of the United States authorised these actions they must be legal.
Financially he’s going to suffer but there’s nothing in law that can be done to him.
We’ve both seen how quickly the legislative landscape can change, let’s not write this loss off just yet.
*conservatives can’t afford his cars
Had to correct it
The are no liberal billionaires and very few liberal millionaires
I have known rich conservatives. I used to work with one who had a Ford F-150 Raptor.
Having an expensive vehicle doesn’t mean you can afford it. You can probably make the payments, but you can only really afford the vehicle if you’re keeping up with other financial goals.
My coworker has two luxury cars, and he’s in debt up to his eyeballs. He makes the same as me, his SO also works (mine doesn’t), and he’s always complaining about not having enough money, while we’re doing just fine.
