Elon Musk

It was a bad sign when he wanted to be the jeopardy host.

ha forgot about that

iirc that was during a contract negotiation? like he was trying to scare the Packers into thinking he was just gonna be the next host of Jeopardy instead of playing footback...frogbs correct me if i'm wrong

it was indeed during negotiations but I don't think there was any risk of him actually quitting football. I think he just wanted to do it once. he wasn't terrible at it either

for me the bad sign is when these stories started coming out about him being a diva on the Packers and mysteriously shutting his entire family out of his life and he responded to it all by just saying "oh they're all just jealous haters". outside of Bears fans Rodgers didn't really have haters back then. he sure as hell has 'em now though

feel the signs he was a jerk were always there, that look he has when he's pissed that teammates or coaches have let him down (again), always got a bad vibe.

apparently even the conspiracy nut stuff had leaked out to people in the know but i dont follow football closely so i had no idea just got the aaron rogers is smart and good storyline

xp you can get away with that when you've won a championship and are taking your team to the playoffs every year, but yeah it comes off a lot differently when you're not playing well and even Dan Orvlosky is starting to question why you're just throwing to the same 2 guys over and over.

also its hilarious how thoroughly he trashed his legacy and public perception with this, like whenever he's brought up people now think of the conspiracy wacko first and the football player second. its crazy because he's still in the league and it really wasn't all that long ago he won back to back MVPs. I mean he isn't Joe Flacco or Matt Ryan, he's arguably the best regular season QB ever and now he's just permanently known as "oh this fuckin guy". could've been avoided but I guess the allure of the podcast was just too much for him to handle

yeah an alltimer easy, thrown away for podcasts

It's funny because almost every quarterback is a fucking idiot racist fascist or worse but at least they do it in the traditional stylee

being a celebrity conspiracy guy is funny cause no one wants to listen to conspiracy guys but if youre a celeb they will listen to you but once they hear what you have to say theyll hate it

kyrie, same sitch

He still alive?

yes he hit an amazing buzzer beater the other night

a bunch of articles have just floated by about Larry Ellison being just as much of a shithead doing many of the same things as Elon, some worse, but people don’t care because he’s not tweeting.
buying 90% of a hawaiian island and wrecking it for the inhabitants he seems to be trying to force into indentured servitude, but he doesn’t tweet about it. bill gates used to draw big heat but mostly because everyone had to use windows

elons in a tough spot cause his celebrity powers his businesses but he fucked it all up

A self driving @Tesla drove straight into my parked car in a residential area and Tesla Insurance has no way to directly contact them so I am stuck with no car and a Tesla adjuster not returning any calls for nearly a week. @elonmusk your cars, app and insurance suck.

Kyrie is definitely similar but I think he’s more of a genuine weirdo whereas Rodgers always has to be the smartest person in the room

oh no

I hope the curb is okay

My only regret is he wasn't giving Roger Stone a lift at the time.

I guess Tesla is good now.

lol DJP

the not wearing seatbelts is the cherry on top

I bet they had those Punisher seatbelt blanks they sell so macho guys who don't want to wear a belt can stop the car from beeping

ums, I had gone my entire life not knowing such a thing existed and you ruined it.

I'm pretty sure the vaccine killed them

The vaccine is a good shot.

love to fix my brand new cybertruck with duct tape ($300 option at dealer)

lmao

sorry PBKR! had to share the horror I guess

Toxicology reports came back on Angela Chao who drowned on her 900 acre ranch after reversing her $TSLA into a lake (after a Pitbull concert) and her BAC was 0.233 (vs TX legal limit 0.08), Elon must be elated it wasn't a vehicle error.

whoops!

That’s a lot of alcohol. Sad!

I still haven’t seen a cybertruck in the wild and am ok with that

failed to meet reserve https://carsandbids.com/auctions/3RyYX4Nx/2024-tesla-cybertruck-foundation-series

no way all those preorders turn into orders.
the preorder deposit was $100.

heh

Saw my first cyber truck in the wild last night. Wow! Bright red.

it's crazy how quickly the Tesla became the douche bag's car of choice

Saw my first cyber truck in the wild last night. Wow! Bright red.

I thought they only came in stainless steel. (Until I got to Montana, I thought Tesla cars only came in white, but I've seen blue and red ones around here.)

you can get an aftermarket vinyl wrap put on there, i seen a black one online

they come in stainless streel and in italian hoagie

White was for several years the only Tesla color that wasn't $1,000-$2,500 extra cost which made it more popular. Black was originally the one no-extra-cost color; now it appears that grey is.

it's not the reason, but it'd be funny if the unfinished look was meant to be a prompt for people to wrap or paint their own vehicles because Elon refuses to let them do an interesting color on the other models

$TSLA fundamentals getting worse, tbd if the stock price will continue to reflect that

whats it say

i dunno i just read the first graf above the paywall cuz i'm not a subscriber but the first graf sounds bad

lol it does sound bad

I mean you have to go back to pre-pandemic to find a time when people were actually excited about Tesla, all they've done since are self-driving features which don't work and the dumbest looking truck in the history of trucks

previous article linked there (from 1/26/24) isn't behind paywall

If you reuse the truss steel that fell, it could be functioning in 3 to 6 months.

The repair should be put to commercial bid with a massive incentive for early and safe completion.

we should all heed the thoughts of such a gifted engineer
