He's a billionaire, of course he has some relations with crime, Musk is just dumb enough to say the quiet part out loud.
Fuck all billionaires. Including this Mexican one idfc what he did to musk
Is Musk becoming the new Mike Lindell? I hope so.
He just fucked with the wrong Mexican.
Really glad to see Elon Musk getting absolutely fucked. Let's have more of that.
Let's be clear: he's the one fucking himself
It’s America getting fucked, not him.
Keep in mind he might be working for them doing this on purpose to us.
We just know he doesn’t care about America.
Might? Elon Musk has been in regular contact with Putin for two years
However, he's obviously destroying the US government and bureaucracy right now, but I don't think he's destroying his own businesses on purpose. He's just dumb.
Thing is, he's not. He can, and has, lose more money than I'll ever see and not have any change in lifestyle.
It simply doesn't effect him. All of his companies could collapse completely tomorrow and he probably wouldn't even notice (financially speaking).
He may not notice the financial loss but at the amount of money he's trying to amass money isn't the point. Power and control are the point. If his companies go under he'll loose a lot of power and influence and I'm not sure his ego could handle that. He seems to crave attention of any kind. I'd be happy if he were reduced to a regular very rich guy with nothing of consequence to say anymore.
"Dear Slim, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin'..."
Good. Unfortunately, it just means Elon will be enraged to decimate America further.
Really hoping for a Player 2. I'd do it myself but I'm a terrible shot.
That must count as the most financially ruinous tweet ever. Serves Elon right for being a total prick.
Wasn’t president Musk’s announcement that he was going to BUY twitter a tweet? Seeing as it’s worth fuck-all now that’s in the running.
Yeah though his total demolition of the company wasn’t done by that tweet. He had to keep making bad decisions for that!
To be fair, buying Twitter was instrumental in him getting Trump to the presidency.
Like any Billionaire, he needed a media outlet to manufacture consent with - I'd argue that him buying Twitter wasn't as stupid a move as it initially seems.
Buying the company was the decision to take over the communications channel by dictators worldwide. It wasn't an accident and he doesn't care about the value of shitter in the long term.
You love to see it
Sauce please? Because that is fucking amazing!
That's called "voting with your wallet". Everyone should do that! Here in Europe we tanked Tesla sales. Rich and poor - everyone can do what's right.
Not everyone's wallet has that kind of pull.
Here's the thing... there's more of us than there are of them. That's why they're so desperate to keep our collective attention elsewhere and to cause division or people might recognize just how strong they could be collectively.
Even collectively we might not have billions of dollars, but it doesn't take billions to crater a company or an industry. Just takes not paying into the system; it'll collapse on its own.
I get you can't boycott everything because you need food and water to survive, but people aren't helpless.
Musk is a deranged idiot
He must have checked his list of criminal dealings, saw that Musk was on it, and decided to correct it.
Oh no! Anyway I made fantastic Swedish coffee at this morning, really delicious, I can say.
Thanks Carlos!
Slim might be one of the coolest rich guys around. He put up a museum in Mexico city and it's free. For everyone, all the time.
Billionaires used to do that kind of thing all the time when they knew they could either walk the street a hero or a target. Mexican billionaires still live in reality it seems.
Oh calm down. Nobody becomes a billionaire by being a good guy.
Usually it's wise to placate the people you screw. One of my favourite sayings is, "Friends come and go, enemies accumulate." You don't want too many, especially those who have little to lose.
Building good will after the fact is very wise, even if it only buys a grudging acceptance. The prestige is also a major bonus in smoothing over business dealings.
Getting a bad rep leads to cautious or worse terms in deals, if not being outright bypassed in favour of a competitor.
I don't have a business degree, so can someone help me understand if this is how you win at stonks?
It’s sad how happy this makes me…. Oh well.
Musk will most likely blame it on South African apartheid and him being discriminated against.
Keep it up world. Bankrupt Musk. Let’s make the world’s richest man, the poorest. Rob him of absolutely everything.
