I’ve read some online comments, so reader beware, that Musk & Thiel are grooming Shillbilly Vance to be the next president.
Trump is being used for his base, but once elected he’ll be put to pasture. Vance will either be pulling his strings, or outright take over.
Kinda makes sense if you consider that they’ve also been driving the narrative that Biden is a puppet and Kamala has been in charge. “Every accusation is an admission,” and all that.
good god... I'll need to hide my couch in the cellar for a few years. (and maybe myself, too!) it isn't safe.
I thought one of Trump's original running premises was that he didn't need any money to run and that he'd spend his own.
No one believed that then either
Plenty of trumpers would parrot that though
Why do that when lying and grifting is cheaper?
This gives me hope. There's a good chance Musk is gonna micromanage this into a ditch.
Same here. Everything Musk has ever touched has turned to shit. Very happy to hear he's fully responsible for the most important part of the Trump campaign.
The sad thing about musk is that he has actually had a lot of good ideas, but eventually became so consumed by american politics, that it turned him (and a lot of his products) into a total turd. Starlink and SpaceX are big-time technical breakthroughs. If the man worried less about politics, and more about furthering mankind, then we would all be benefitting from it. He had a lot of potential at one point.
What “good ideas” were truly his own? He wasn’t even the founder of Tesla.
There's accounts that all his 'good ideas' at PayPal were actually garbage and rolled back by the actual skilled people there lul. His only saving grace is his money and a little business sense, say what you want but he at least managed to shove money into the right companies and the fact it happened more than once means he has at least some accumen in that field, even if he's bad at actually managing them. Twitter was forced on him because of his big mouth not necessarily something he ever actually intended to buy.
From everything that I've seen, he's a moron who got a bunch of ill gotten wealth from his dad which he then used to further exploit people and grow more ill gotten wealth.
Not a single valuable idea has ever come from this man.
This is why you don't take anything a public personality says to heart. People who make money based off their public persona can and will say anything to maintain an appearance that makes money. Musk said he was a Democrat while donating to conservatives until he was so rich he didn't need to care about his public persona. Same thing with corporations. Nestle probably says they care about the environment while raping it. Amazon probably says they care about their employees while working them to death. Tons of major corporations are removing DE&I initiatives now that Y'allqaeda has shown its boycotts can be effective.
I'd be worried if Musk's recent investments were worthwhile.
Wasn't that supposed to be 45 mil a month? Renegging POS. Eron, part ways with your money!
Elon is shedding big money fast. Maybe he will start a casino or two.
