The thing is - no matter how rich he'll ever be or how much power he'll get. He is, and forever will be, one of the biggest fucking losers this world has ever seen.

This gives me enough comfort to sleep at night.

Hitler was also a loser before he went to war with the world. This fucking loser has enough money to fund his own army and start a war. Dude already has the tech to create ballistic missiles. Yeah he is a loser but also dangerous because of his enormous wealth.

[–] randoot@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Also just absolutely miserable. It makes me warm knowing the dipshit feels constantly inadequate and constantly alone.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

All that money and he can’t even buy a friend, love, or the attention of his many children.

[–] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

It really does amaze me how so many people give him the time of day. I'm not sure his presence in any venture has been a net positive for them at the end of the day.

Every company he has ever touched succeeded at what they were doing despite his constant fuckery.

[–] randoot@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Here's my theory; the volume of trading was tiny, Yahoo finance says $500M. This is chump change that any of the billionaires that bought into X can throw in without thinking about it. What's stopping these people from propping up the value up until they can get it into the index funds and then dumping the bag on the consumer? Nothing.

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 50 points 1 week ago (17 children)

Man this is great! My theory is the simulation ends when the first person hits a trillion. If that’s the case then this hellscape is almost over everyone! Someone finally won the damn game and we can all log out!

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

Somebody’s been watching Sword Art Online.

Elon Musk is already worth over trillion

[–] Fafa@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

You mean that's his mob drop?

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I love Don Hertzfeldt's stuff! Thanks for reminding me. It's been a while since I've watched any of his animations.

Donnie is understandably mad that Elon interrupted his work-time nap.

My controversial opinion:

We did this with sci-fi.

Too many people think their future actually looks like Star Trek or Mars terraforming movies or whatever, and buy Musk’s claim he’s going to make humanity an interplanetary race.

But it doesn’t work like that.

Space travel is impossibly hard. It is just impractical for human bodies, as they exist now, outside of specific scientific missions. Physics dictates that it is expensive. Quantify it, and basically, civilization woukd have to advance to a point where our Earth problems are already trivial to even begin mass manned space travel.


Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for drone work in space, crazy science missions, and beautiful, hopeful speculative sci fi.

But I feel like the population needs a cold bucket of water. Space travel is not going to save us; Earth is all we got for now.

[–] TheDuke@europe.pub 3 points 6 days ago

True, but at this point, I'm not sure if we even deserve the earth we are on.

You mean Tesla, right?

Because SpaceX just got 25% over their 94x guess...

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have no economic knowledge or trading ability, here's my very important prediction...

...this is a huge rug pull and the billionaires in on it are going to make a lot of money.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 days ago

The trillionaire. He's a trillionaire now.

[–] Casterial@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

And if their value drops, just have your other company bail them out for triple their value and make your company double in value! Woooo!

Disgusting human your are

[–] Legonatic@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I don't think the average trader is convinced of this at all. I think they just know to buy in early to ride the hype, then sell it once the hype dies down. Short term gains.

[–] Folstar@lemmus.org 7 points 1 week ago

It really is the roaring 20s all over again! Hell yes! Even have Republicans in charge of everything again! Party like it's 1928!!! /s

[–] garbage_world@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

25 P/E ratio isn't even that bad, especially for a tech company

100 on the other hand...

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

spaceX has negative earnings and cashflow. They are going by price to revenue ratio, including about half the revenue being inflated datacenter rental rates from Anthropic and Google (large SpaceX shareholder) that let them cancel at any time. 75 price to revenue ratio is much higher than previous record that was facebook IPO. Facebook was just a web site that serves ads. Less than $1/user in computing hardware. AI is $30 to $300 hardware costs per user... assuming there are a lot of users. The other absurdity in Spacex prospectus is a $26T enterprise AI total addressable market. Even if true, grok's share going up has no basis in reality.

The worst thing is everyone's 401k is gonna be left holding the bag.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I called it way WAAAAY before Trumpocalypse. I said "they shut down services and fuck over customers all the time, why not fuck over a frail old man, who then won't have the money for a lawyer?".

Platinum bars are the only retirement plan worth investing in.

[–] nullspace@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Man, all this time the BUY GOLD grandpas were right.
