The posters on this site are ok. Lots of people that just want to chat. Yapping ( or dissing) some of the most influential wealth hoarders on the planet doesn't make them obsessed, pitiful, or that they shouldnt talk just because they might not use a certain app. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Zfetch Posted July 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) OKAY HERE ARE THE FACTS: - Elon is not the richest (recorded) man in the world at the moment. If you are thinking this, you are misinformed. - Elon calls ZUCK a CUCK. This is an amusing comment. Want every billionaire to have the personality of McDavid? - Elon begs to whip his cock out for measure. This is also an amusing (crude, but amusing) comment. Not sure why anyone over analyzes this so much. - Elon has not made significantly bad decisions more than anyone else in this thread. It could easily be argued the opposite. The arts degrees in this thread think their years of decision making is superior to Elon's wrong moves? - Elon is a success. Don't care how you put it or how much hate you have for the man, he is a success. He is at the very least good at attracting attention, so no less a success than your favorite famous actor, and at best is a man who has made EVs stylish and changed the world for the better through his decisions and his drive. There are not many men who want to go to Mars, want to overpromise (lie if you are so inclined) EV tech, want to change huge social media platforms (for the worse if you are so inclined), and yet at the end of the day wants to put his shitty dark humor out there. Elon is one of the most ambitious men in the world. He is an enigma. For better or for worse. Don't attack those with differing opinions, attack their ideas. It's a basic rule of life and I see quite a bit of nasty stuff in here...so put a lock on it.

It's that you're badgering people for posting in here when there's relevant recent events happening regarding it. Perhaps you should catch up on your recent events as well as this thread? Also, don't bother to claim you don't care about that, because clearly you do; otherwise, you wouldn't have posted in this thread today calling other people obsessed. You can literally state your opinion about the matter without throwing other people into the dirt you know. My challenge still stands despite your attempt to dodge it. 46 minutes ago, bishopshodan said: You do you. The posters on this site are ok. Lots of people that just want to chat.

So I call out how it's the opposite here. If you guys or others can't see that, I think bias is clouding your judgement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you He's also an evil piece of **** ignorant viewpoints, promotion of bigoty, and lack of basic human decency. He has some intelligence when he sticks to what he understands, but overall the world would be a far better place without him. Expecting people to pretend he deserves to be treated with any respect is delusional. Both Elon and his ideas are completely worthless and deserve the criticism they are getting. There aren't many people on the planet who have less value to humanity. It is entirely reasonable for people to call out this subhuman waste of oxygen when he continues his war against humanity.

RUPERTKBD Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 It never fails to surprise how many people believe that because someone might be successful, or "ambitious", you aren't supposed to call them out for being jerks.... ....and if you do, you're "obsessed". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Tesla reportedly suspected Musk was using company funds to build a literal glass house The Wall Street Journal reports the company's board launched an investigation last year. Tesla may have investigated CEO Elon Musk over possible improprieties. The Wall Street Journal's sources claim the EV maker's board launched an investigation over concerns Musk might be using company funds to build a house near the Austin-area Gigafactory. Nicknamed "Project 42," the initiative is believed to involve a purchase of millions of dollars in special glass — large enough that it drew attention from employees last year. Limited liability firms linked to Musk and executives are also known to have bought large volumes of land in the area. Concepts for the house included either a "twisted hexagon" or a glass cube reminiscent of Apple's 5th Avenue store. This appeared to be personal space as it included bedrooms, bathrooms and a kitchen, the tipsters said. The status and results of the investigation aren't known. Tesla disbanded its PR department years ago, and Musk hasn't commented on the report as of this writing. However, the board reportedly wanted to learn if Musk was involved and whether worker time had been devoted to the house. Bloomberg learned of the glass order last year, but didn't know about the board or the nature of Project 42. Executives sometimes receive perks like jets. The policies for these rewards vary, however, and Tesla's approach is relatively strict. The automaker requires a board committee audit for any expense above $120,000 where a related person, like the CEO, has a material interest. This isn't the first time a high-profile tech executive has faced scrutiny over spending. Meta investigated departing COO Sheryl Sandberg over allegations she used company resources to further personal goals, such as wedding planning or attempts to quash a news story critical of her ex-partner Bobby Kotick. Musk's profile as a major CEO makes this case stand out, however. The leader is no stranger to legal entanglements. He's still embroiled in a fight with the Securities and Exchange Commission over tweeting financial data, and survived a defamation lawsuit from British cave explorer Vernon Unsworth over unsubstantiated "pedo guy" accusations. ****************** Doesn't hurt when your brother is on the Board of Directors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
