i keep saying maybe he should create a functional fully self-sufficient colony in the sahara or the antarctic first, just as a proof of concept, you know?

but then again, maybe that's why i'm not the wealthiest man on earth

the Tesla fuckling comes from inside the thread today

I have no cruise control, autopilot, and forward collision detection. the Tesla app detects this and automatically filled out the service request.

truly, the future of automobiles

but wait your $50,000 or whatever car doesn't have cruise control? like you cant hit the set button and hold it at 62? lol my $4000 craigslist RV had that

if it somehow fails safe because the sensors aren't working it's definitely better than i would have expected from tesla

twitter has always been bad and jack dorsey was perfectly fine with it being full of assholes for years. if elon maintains interest long enough to go through with the deal he'd have to work pretty hard to make it any worse than it has already been

just how valuable a prize is twitter, financially speaking? my understanding is that it doesnt have much room for growth, it doesnt seem to be terribly profitable, and theyve never had much luck figuring out how to monetize it. what is the financial case for this being a savvy investment? what value is there to unlock that the current ownership/management hasnt?

none at all whatsoever, which is probably why the shareholders forced the board to accept the offer he made. it was dumb as hell, makes no sense of any kind whatsoever except through the lens of a billionaire manchild with no impulse control and an incredibly fragile ego

yeah, i'd wager he's already got that dopamine hit from the furor and kudos over the news, there's no reason to follow through now. if he can find a way to tank the deal and walk away with minimal penalties, he absolutely will

No, they don't. Not consciously at least. Wealth hoarding is a brain disorder that is inherently intertwined with a lack of empathy for others.

Go read about the Berkeley wealth studies -- it begins to take effect at a surprisingly low dose. My favorite example from their studies was that they put a bowl of candy on the reception desk, and as the person was signing in for the study, they said "you can take a piece of candy if you want -- we're going to give the rest to the children in a study later today." The receptionist observed what the person did and they later correlated it with their wealth.

The poorest people took no candy
People with average incomes took one or two pieces
People with high incomes took several pieces or a handful

it seems a little just-so, but if i had to guess how one becomes wealthy it probably has something to do with taking literally everything you can get your hands on

yeah, but elon musk can't make changes to authentication and thus engagement numbers that tank the stock price without already owning all the stock

by the point he can make those changes, there is no public stock to tank

if he does it, and then re-ipos and that tanks, then yeah, lmao
