Elon Musk just keeps embarrassing himself. He's been getting in fights with journalists over his terrible Tesla tent: https://twitter.com/tictoc/status/1016181473597100032 To making a fool of himself offering up a mini-submarine to save the boys in the Thai cave: https://twitter.com/BBCWorld/status/1016557719539605504 At least he occasionally does something useful: https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/1015388220912267265

He might be a fuckin weirdo but at least he’s throwing around all that cash trying to do stuff, even if it doesn’t always work out. Plenty other billionaires just sitting on their piles of cash shouting ‘nyah!’ At all the poors

No, wasting millions of dollars on bullshit pie-in-the-sky ideas or building exploding rockets actually isn't more useful than putting it in a bank or investing. E: not that it makes sense because musk does put his billions in a bank. Then he spends a couple million on stupid stunts that impress morons and raises him tens of millions.

I read somewhere that Teslas have poo poo brakes. Like it takes Teslas far longer to come to a complete stop from going 60 miles an hour than other, comparable cars.

Burt Sexual posted:People love to talk about musk in SA. He was asked to help out with Flint's water issues and donated 500 bikes. He heard about the kids trapped in caves and had his team design a mini-sub that couldn't maneuver thru the cave. I'm sure he's done other stuff but those two instances felt like misdirected philanthropic PR stunts.

Cowman posted:has Musk always been this much of a dork/rear end in a top hat or is it a new thing? I remember thinking he was an alright dude for the longest time Probably always, but Tesla seemed sincere. Then he started talking about hyperloops and doing PR bullshit and it became clear he's a charlatan. Also, an affordable fuel efficient gas car would probably be more environmentally friendly than an electric car anyway.

No, wasting millions of dollars on bullshit pie-in-the-sky ideas or building exploding rockets actually isn't more useful than putting it in a bank or investing. of course, as you say, it's just a fraction of Musk's net worth. most of his money (as with most of all money) is invested in abstract systems that only exist to make the number go higher e: and as others have pointed out, sometimes it's not even his money that he's spending, so much as he's schmoozing grants and contracts out of public funds the populist poo poo is bread and circuses if not conspicuous consumption not sure what my point is, but to be clear gently caress billionaires Cubone fucked around with this message at 01:53 on Jul 11, 2018 |

He makes gadgets for the rich to play with and does pr poo poo. When his stocks start to go bad he does borderline illegal definitely illegal once some controls are restored poo poo to float it. Like when he claims to invest his own money in Tesla, but is just using shady finance/stock poo poo to fake it. He's a wannabe Howard Hughes who's actually just another lovely Hank Rearden.
