i genuinely believe this was a depression and drugs manic impulse. it’s kind of impressive that he bought stock, secured funding, signed documents committing to it, and only then did he crash and realize what he’d done. there was no plan, only his scumbag rich friends urging him on.

I know someone who was manic for a long enough time to buy an apartment. I think that'd be about the same as Musk buying Twitter.

rotor posted:I think there was some of this, but also that he thought he could wriggle out of the deal at the last minute. look, normally I would tend to think that this was a ploy to liquidate tesla shares at all time high, but one, he’s obviously an idiot, and two, there are too many stupid moves here for there to have been any sort of plan. if he wanted to wriggle out he would not have signed an agreement with no contingencies. he wouldn’t have signed one at all, but definitely not one that closes any door for him to exit. he purchased 15% of the company before he made the bid. getting out of the deal would have made the stock tank and lost him a relatively very large sum of money. wriggling out was the plan once he sobered up and was making GBS threads himself constantly that this was actually happening. you can almost see it in his posting, the waves of terror washing over him and his lashing out to try to fight it back.

goblin week posted:revisionist history. he bought it because he made a stupid 420 joke and couldn't back out of it despite months of trying i firmly believe that eradication of the woke mind virus was his goal from the start because that's expressly what he's said. his entire point in buying up shares and getting a board seat was to effectuate the changes he wanted to see because he was mad about his daughter and grimes. he flippantly made his offer to buy because he was probably on drugs and really angry, which is why semi-sober elon tried to back out. he's always just been mad that one of his eldest kids hates him and his wife left him for chelsea manning. you can see that this is true based upon his actions since being forced to buy it.

Jonny 290 posted:wait so he's doing performative babysitting now to prove he's just a normal dad? lol he's been doing that for a while. at least since his daughter disowned him. the kid's with him all the time. interviews, meetings, public events, walking the factory floor, executive meetings, you name it i still remember when that financial times journalist shadowed him for a day and Musk had the kid with him the entire time when Musk and the journalist went to dinner at a fancy restaurant, he left the kid in the car with a tablet and a bodyguard while he spent like two hours chatting with the reporter over a bunch of small plates that was the same interview where he went "can't win 'em all" in regards to his daughter hating him, and blamed it on neo-Marxist brainwashing quote:Dinner with Elon Musk begins with a drive in a Tesla. I am seated in the back, next to X, the billionaire’s two-and-a-half-year-old son. It’s around 7pm in Austin, and X is, as one would expect, cranky. We had set off to Fonda San Miguel, Musk’s favourite Mexican restaurant, after a visit with an FT colleague to the Tesla Gigafactory on the banks of the Colorado river. In this massive site Musk is producing the Y electric SUVs, the latest model in the Tesla collection that has catapulted him to the top of the world’s rich list (net worth: $232bn). Musk, with X perched on his shoulders, had proudly shown off the factory floor as he periodically raged against sluggish investment in lithium refining, which is desperately needed to ease battery shortages around the world. quote:Musk has a dystopian view of the left’s influence on America, which helps explain his wild pursuit of Twitter to liberate free speech. He blames the fact that his teenage daughter no longer wants to be associated with him on the supposed takeover of elite schools and universities by neo-Marxists. “It’s full-on communism...and a general sentiment that if you’re rich, you’re evil,” says Musk. “It [the relationship] may change, but I have very good relationships with all the others [children]. Can’t win them all.” quote:We are over an hour into dinner and Musk is in a hurry, having scheduled a call with his SpaceX team. We skip dessert and I ask for the bill, only to find out it’s already been settled by Musk’s security chief. Musk ignores my protestations that he is flouting Lunch with the FT convention: “You’re indebted to me for life,” he jokes. We head back to the car that is taking him to a private airport to board his jet and he suggests we continue our conversation on the way. it's exactly what I'd expect from Musk: he thinks he's being a good dad (and showing off to everyone what a good dad he's being) by dragging the kid everywhere, only to leave the kid sitting in a car for two hours with a driver and an iPad

not that it excuses anything but it’s not as if Elon has any idea what a good dad does from his own childhood. Errol is a hosed up monster in his own way.
