Elon Musk

that story makes no sense you cant just double down in poker

ppl misuse the term "double down" but there is a betting strategy across all games that says if you lose, double your wager on the next hand, I guess if you have unlimited funds this is a totally workable strategy?? I think that is what people mean by it

you're talking about the Martingale strategy. that wouldn't really work in poker though. if you lose 5 buyins chances are it's not gonna be to the same player 5 times. so you couldn't really make it all back in one hand. also typically in poker there's a limit to how much you can buy in for in a cash game. though I'm guessing they suspend that rule for Elon Musk

even if you could buy in for whatever you want the double bet doesnt necessarily exist, its not like roulette where the house will just take whatever action

"Great meeting with the President of Hungary about the population collapse crisis!"

this man is a nazi.

"I don't actually have any cash on me, but I can put up several vials of my sperm as collateral."

having started replaying the video game Cyberpunk 2077, I have been reminded that at the beginning of the game you're asked whether you'd like to live a quiet life or go out in a blaze of glory

apparently Elon crashed his then-girlfriend's voice recording session for the game...

Apparently they patched any mention of him out of the game since?

he was never in the game https://www.pcgamer.com/no-that-wasnt-elon-musk-in-cyberpunk-2077-says-senior-quest-designer/

That wasn't Elon musk, it looks nothing like him

Who came up with this nonsense? https://t.co/usPO94IFhD

yeah, he was never in it despite his epic attempts to get included

I muted this pretty quickly. I may have ended up spreading misinformation, but a couple of videos and articles said that the guy on the left was a Musk cameo a couple of weeks before 2.0 released and they did end up changing it so regardless of intent it is funny.

so regardless of intent it is funny

is it tho

everything is funny now :|

laughing crying emoji

Weird silence from him on his new preferred party trying to cripple his main business. Weird silence from Republicans on the fact that their hero owns an EV company. Weird. https://t.co/SVVnNLCMSc

In 2018, I filed the first defamation lawsuits against Alex Jones, ultimately discrediting him in court. Today, I am proud to announce I have filed suit against yet another notorious disseminator of false information: The owner of this platform, Elon Musk. pic.twitter.com/YpvTz2JxBp

rip Bankston's twitter account

get elons ass

A friend saw him stuck in gridlock traffic the other day and thought about defacing his douchemobile truck but realized there's probably security detail running in parallel.

is it a cybertruck?

I was driving my son and two other 8 yos around this weekend and they were talking about Teslas non-stop.

That lawyer's thread is worth reading, if one is able or so inclined.

how do they feel about roblox?

They program their own obbys

Yes

Looks like Grimes is suing to gain access to her children (might have been hinted at in the Grimes thread a week or two ago, I forget)

Having kids entirely via IVF and surrogacy seems like something a man with a tiny dick would do.

XP I imagine 44 billion could have bought/engineered him an amazing penis.

A cyberpenis, even.

But doing so would entail admitting his own shortcomings.

Let's just say anyone who has sex with him has to have a 10 micron tolerance

BAM

I’m still trying to process that a man who has 10 kids may still be a virgin.

That NBC news article misleads the right wing site to mean almost the opposite of what it says.

Yeah, that was weird

suspended for using the recent stripping-out of headlines from news stories to call elon a pedo (he can dish it out but he can't take it, you will be startled to learn)

Elon Musk acted like a 'little baby' and was 'almost in tears' on Tesla's 'terrible' earnings call, analyst says https://t.co/aQgEPRK8P0

— Insider Business (@BusinessInsider) October 22, 2023

lol the investors are mad at Musk because he said this:

Musk suggested at one point on the call that he was delaying the factory in light of rising interest rates, which make borrowing more expensive. "If interest rates remain high or if they go even higher, it's that much harder for people to buy the car. They simply can't afford it," Musk said, pointing to the impact on monthly car loan payments.

He created company value based on pure fiction in an attempt to hold the line until they could actually be profitable, and now the investors are angry he's stating fact. Kind of dug his own grave on that one

That's usually when these guys fail, when the bullshit stops.

"If interest rates remain high or if they go even higher, it's that much harder for people to buy the car. They simply can't afford it," Musk said, pointing to the impact on monthly car loan payments.

lol. the monthly payment on a new tesla is down compared to a year ago.

IMO Elon is overplaying the macro card. For anyone who wants to know whether $TSLA monthly payments are higher or lower than where they were 12-15 months ago, put into your HP12C these scenarios:

- 15 mos ago: Model Y $65K with 10% down, 3.9% auto loan rate over 60 months.…

— Gary Black (@garyblack00) October 20, 2023

So the price dropped 15K in the past 15 months?

of that model in the US, yes. i think that's one of the more extreme examples tbf but they've been dropping prices to juice sales all year. CW is that they should be advertising and distance themselves from their insane nazi founder instead, neither of which they do.

they get a lot of coverage in the finance and tech spaces but not the "guy just looking for a car" spaces

that and their sales model is completely different in the US than any other automotive brand. apparently they do have a store and service center in my area now but I had no clue! I just pulled up the site to see if they let you test drive a car, and every single time block is open today

It's actually kind of fucked up the EV market, as I understand it. When Tesla cut prices the biggest effect was that it dropped the bottom out of the used EV market and lots of EV drivers lost thousands in value, especially those that purchased new. Granted, I suppose anyone that pays a premium for a car, any car, understands they lose value as soon as you drive off the lot, but Tesla's desperate price slash really accelerated depreciation, hurting even those with generous loan terms.
