When you're offroading you have to be careful with your thumbs because sometimes a front tire will slip off a rock and push the steering wheel around with a lot of speed. This will break your thumb if you have it planted inside the wheel like most people casually do.

If the autopilot can do something similar when people criticize elon that would be pretty awesome.

Musk stumbled on a magic money printing machine where idiots buy Tesla stock because other idiots buy it and it's driven the price way up.

Also born rich with Apartheid money.

Tesla has this magical aura about it that makes people think it’s smart and if they like it people will think they’re smart. Kind of like the “I’m a Mac & I’m a PC” ads tricking people into thinking Apple was some progressive company despite Jobs giving pretty much nothing to charity at any point in his life.

I was talking to my flatmate about how absurdly rich these pricks are (apparently multiple actually real people are richer than the gold-hoarding dragon Smaug depending on the price of gold? Not sure where this comes from but we live in hell, so I'd believe it) and he wondered if Bezos could make his own dragon-hoard literal mountain of gold by buying up as much gold as he could, or if doing that would be enough demand to seriously raise the price of gold.

Like I have no idea of the scale of that kind of thing, if someone decided to buy up all the lithium or aluminium or something that they could, would their efforts alone be enough to make the prices shift significantly? My guess was that not really, but, if you were a renowned tech dipshit you could buy up the supply of anything and, regardless of how useless it is, you would cause other people to panic and assume you're onto something. Suddenly your dumb expense is now indicative of an 'investment' because you're clearly a genius who knows more than everybody else.

My flatmate congratulated me on inventing the cryptocurrency.

Also the stock market has a fatal flaw built in where it assumes an influential number of investors are rational. It should be self-limiting where investors calculate risks and when a stock is priced too high people stop buying it and the price comes down again. Turns out you can game the system and if enough people decide that a stock can grow infinitely then it just will and becomes a magic money printing machine creating value out of nothingness. And the organizations that should be trying to rein this in have been captured by wealthy people who also want to get in on the money bonanza. So stonks go up Up UP while critics sit on the sidelines wondering just how long the bubble can go on for.

Ignoring how it would effect the price, Musk or Bezos could buy approximately 2% of all the gold that exists on the planet. But also, all of the gold in the world would fit in a 20m cube.

Elon Musk was a busy man, who rarely had time for social interaction.

As the head of several successful startups, which were all doing well, he had the freedom to choose his own path. He had never wanted to be a family man.

His nights were usually spent alone, feeling the cool, smooth plastic hand of his pleasure bot jerking his sizable endowment. Often, after one jerking, he would fall asleep, and have vivid dreams.

One year, he went to the Met Gala with singer Grimes. After the event, they went home and he showed her his modest living quarters. He decided to get some sleep, as he had a meeting the following morning as a member of the prestigious American Manufacturing Council.

When he fell asleep, Grimes began looking around his house. She had never seen such a house! Everything was fully automated, from the Roomba to the Keurig. She was beginning to see what technology could do for the average American.

Her curiosity led her to the basement, where she found Elon’s pleasure-bot. She was intrigued by the look of the hands - smooth plastic, and cool to the touch. She checked the features in the owner’s manual. Biometric feedback scanners, long-life lithium-ion batteries, the works. Elon spared no expense.

She knew that she could get the machine to rub her if she opened the console commands and tinkered around with its core code. Five minutes later, she had it set to go.

Looking at the hands, she noticed a liquid on the palms.

“Self-lubricating? Wow!” she said, unaware.

The machine brought her to several climaxes that night. Each time, she loved the cool feeling of the plastic hand as it rubbed the lips of her south-mouth.

The next morning, she called an Uber and went home. She didn’t think much about her torrid robot-affair, as she was far too busy in her life as a successful musician.

Several weeks later, she failed to menstruate. This struck her as odd, because she had never been intimate with a man. The thought of a man’s genitals was disgusting to her, and she had never even seen any in real life.

She took a pregnancy test, and it confirmed her fear - she was pregnant.

Grimes called Elon to ask his advice - he was a smart, successful businessman, surely he knew about the female anatomy. He told her that he had gone over the security footage and found video of her rubbing the machine against herself, and smearing his seed into her fertile valley.
