What is this from?

From a Hedge Fund newsletter article describing why they took a short position and also how their short Tesla position had some of the highest returns this quarter.

Thing is? I enjoy a good gear review. It's the celebrity he tries to provoke by riding an electric skateboard and bloviating about how important it is to be a "creative" and a "content creator" and blah blah blah.

I guess I'm of the grumpy old-man opinion that if you are actually so busy doing the things you say you are, how the gently caress do you have time to put together videos about how productive you are when nobody is looking?

Elon has the same poo poo show presentation: tweeting and interviewing all day about how busy he is not-tweeting and not-interviewing.

Yeah, he's one of the modern day snake oil salesmen. He makes more money selling the ideal of being 'a creative' rather than actually creating, because it's hard, usually unrewarded work. There's so many 'photographers' and filmmakers that sell this idea that if you do enough transcendental meditation and make a good vision board you'll just magically be successful, when here in reality you actually have to pound the pavement and put skin in the game. There's a guy who sells a seminar called 'how to become a $20,000 wedding photographer' who's never actually photographed a wedding for $20k and the photos that do exist of his work are absolute trash (he has done everything in his power to scrub his wedding work from the internet).

I have such an irrational hatred of that gary vee 'entrepreneur mindset' bullshit.

I mean, he must be trying to get fired at this point.

Like, surely the SEC isn't going to let an idiot basically undermine the entire 'markets are fair and regulated and not at all like gambling in a casino with rigged odds' with this bullshit. It's one thing to gently caress the poors, but when you're this big and basically egging the SEC to do something...
