genocide? cool and good. black bagging people for protected speech? yeah, pretty fucking cool. letting people die of preventable disease and disaster? yeah, what are you, gay?
but damaging a car? you're basically the worst thing a person can be.
not damaging a car, what he considers attacking his ego by damaging his worthless scrap heaps. Weight on the word his, as they remain his cars even if you pay for them. he can take control of them or do whatever so you literally can't even own a tesla, only suck up to musk.
You know how they demolish bridges that have become unsafe to use?
Well... its the same with vehicles... 👀
Who knows how many lives these heroes have saved.
The funny thing is, he doesn't even feel it that much. His ownership of Tesla is peanuts compared to SpaceX, where the contracts with the government are. Just some food for taught 🤔
? ~60% of his wealth is estimated to be in Tesla shares
His net worth is definitely affected by Tesla shares declining
No, it actually ~13% while on SpaceX being the owner he has a share of ~42%
It's not what they were talking about though. They said tesla shares were 60% of his wealth, not that he owned 60% of tesla.
I can't find the actual number but it looks like tesla shares were 75% of his wealth in 2020, and fell to 37% in 2022 when he sold some.
So it's definitely hurting him
So what you are telling me, is that 37% of what he made till 2022 is from Tesla, yes, that is true, but if it fell from 75% to 37% in just 2 years and it most likely fell again till 2024, that amount has to been shrinking due to a larger summ of money coming from another investment with a bigger amount of shares. SpaceX started gaining more money with the starlink project and the governmental contracts, around 2019-2020 and who has the most shares in that company? Is Elon, today his wealth is not coming that much from Tesla, he still made money from it, but we are debating small stuff to what SpaceX represents to him.
Well the subject originally was that Tesla's drop was hurting elon, to which you said "he doesn't feel it that much".
By doing a quick search, I found that his spaceX shares are worth around $147 billion, while is tesla shares are worth around $98 billion. You are right that spaceX represents more, but it's not small stuff. And to stay on topic, it seems like the value of his Tesla stock and options has declined by nearly $102 billion since the beginning of the year, which I think is not small even for him.
While you are right the contracts with the governements are balancing the losses a bit, it's still a good chunk of his wealth, as it seems he has gone from $443 billion in december 2024 to $380 billion mid february, and I'll take whatever hurst this mf.
Does anyone else think the "happening in my town of (insert town name here)" is a bot account he set up to blow up small isolated incidents?
We brought him a little taste of civil war. He's just mad he's on the losing side.
How the hell do Elon and other oligarchs feel so safe to call for a literal civil war? He thinks the other side cares more about fighting Joe Bob more than the billionaires? Such strange delusional behavior
Awhh, boo hoo
Insurance fraud
Elon has done some impressive things but his voice carry’s as much weight as the president. Even more. To call for civil war seems reckless and will stir up the MAGA side. So with all his money and power he isn’t able to form some kind of mediation between all parties. He could be a beacon of reason and peace with his immense wealth. Why choose this path so quickly.
Elon has done some impressive things
The more I look into that, the more I question this.
He has has bought companies that have done impressive things and tarnished nearly to the point of ruin all but one of them.
He wasn't the brainchild behind any of these products; he was, at most, the person who convinced venture capitalists to invest and the one who bargained with lawmakers to allow them.
I'm increasingly seeing brilliant people who have dealt with him in person mentioning that he has quite sub-par reasoning skills, and we're seeing more and more of that in the news.
Well documented Elon literally hasn't done anything impressive. His whole thing is buying into other companies and claiming to be the inventor/founder.
America on all sides is woefully bad at bullshit detection. Anyone that constantly talks themselves up should be scrutinized relentlessly
Because MAGA doesn't respect discourse, only shows of strength no matter how sloppy or feeble
MAGA is also under the false impression that liberals don't own guns.
Who is Elizabeth helgelien?
Who cares, we know in which asshole her tongue is and that’s all that matters.
