Elon Musk

Dude just went to a concentration camp site to do a photo op. That is a pretty high roll of a 20 sided die of a$$hole.

its actually worse than that immediately after he gave a presentation arguing that X would've prevented the holocaust

my stepmom got me his biography for Xmas, and I quietly re-gifted it to my cousin's husband without reading a word beyond the title

lol

Lmao rekt

it's okay he can fall back on his profits from twit-oh no

haha

(chortles gleefully) Musk may slip partway down the list of the top ten richest humans!

a fun read, not really about musk but about the biographer, walter isaacson

https://thepointmag.com/criticism/very-ordinary-men/

biographer / charlatan bracket:
michael lewis vs isaacson vs SBF vs musk

I'm inclined to think SBF was less of a charlatan than musk but not sure why. Maybe he's just in a more huckster-y field to begin with?
Also, ironically maybe there's "utility" in his inadvertently exposing tenured philosophers as craven hucksters themselves by association.
With Elon, I guess he revealed who Grimes really was.

oh damn, sam kriss is writing again? good for him waiting until everyone forgot about the sexual harassment allegations

Elon’s making noise about Neuralink so people will stop paying attention to Tesla’s stock drop, right? Big “our tunnel is on track” energy

In any case, time for a rethinking of the Michael Crichton pulpy sci-fi work, The Terminal Man

elon has put a chip in my brain, i can now self host windows server nt

has any independent testing been done of this or are we all just supposed to take Elon at his word again?

seems the only info is a tweet by elon saying they did it lol

they performed the surgery while riding on the hyperloop on the way to announce the new generation of teslas

What are the chances that has teeth?

Interesting caption on that photo

File - Tesla CEO Elon Musk waves as he arrives at the annual political festival Atreju, organized by the Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy political party, in Rome, Dec. 16, 2023.

It's OK, Elon will just give himself cyberteeth and bite back.

how bad do you have to fuck up to be mad at the state that exists solely to facilitate corporate functions

Never incorporate your company in the state of Delaware

$55 billion LOL

an honest wage for an honest days work

Well he finally tweeted something that made me laugh

Though it’s got nothing on Trump’s “if you need legal services I strongly suggest you DONT hire Michael Cohen” one

A Delaware judge on Tuesday ruled in favor of the investors who challenged billionaire Elon Musk’s $56bn Tesla pay package as excessive, a court filing showed. The judge found that Musk’s compensation was inappropriately set by the electric-vehicle maker’s board and struck down the package. If the decision survives any potential appeal, the Tesla board will have to come up with a new compensation package for Musk.

Maybe they can agree to something more reasonable and austere, like $45 BILLION

salute Richard Tornetta

Isn’t this the Board’s decision to make?

The suit was filed by Richard Tornetta, some unknown heavy metal drummer who owned only 9 shares at the time the suit was filed!

How does a drummer with 9 shares even know enough about the compensation package to file a suit? Very fishy https://t.co/DZ82pXu6AH

lookin good fellas

how sad do you have to be to be a twitter investigator caping your way to argue for Elon Musk getting $56 billion

I look forward to Musk trying to turn Tesla into a Wyoming LLC or something

Tesla Motors (Jersey) Ltd.

"Come to Nevada, we'll let you do whatever the fuck you want"

Musk rueing incorporating tesla in Delaware and omitting to mention that he wasn’t there when Tesla was incorporated.

he prob believes he was at this point

i skimmed the ruling quickly and my gut says there's a decent chance this gets overturned on appeal because delaware loves capitalism

but the facts here are pretty bad... delaware's in a tough place

Saying “I was negotiating with myself” doesn’t seem great

salute Richard Tornetta

Read this as Tonetta and now extremely disappointed.

think what ultimately may be hard to reconcile is that delaware loves shareholders... so here, this comp plan was good for shareholders since it forecast 10x'ing the stock price. but it was also bad for shareholders because it diluted shareholders by giving a bunch of stock to musk.

so is it good or bad for shareholders where they could 10x their stock (good) at the expense of some dilution (bad)? is setting a goal of 10x enough to overcome bad process? will delaware abide seeing companies start incorporating in nevada?

Presumably they easily saw that the forecast of 10x stock price was as thorough a piece of bullshit as every other Tesla/Musk forecast.

You can't get much past a heavy metal drummer.

and that's all right with me
