He's still so fucking wealthy tho
Fine, I say we take every single bit of his hundreds of billions in $1 bills and bury it on top of him. I'm sure that weighs quite a bit
0.63 Empire State Buildings. So yeah, quite a bit.

So how does this man being an executive officer not immediately send a company's stocks into the shitter at this point?
Everyone's too deep to escape.
Isn't the Tesla board made up of his buddies?
The CEO is chosen by the board, which is chosen by the shareholders. The shareholders have the ultimate power, if they can unite on a goal/decision. Overwhelmingly, the only thing they can agree on is that they want to make the most money. They often can't even agree on how to go about that.
So, the board won't fire him because the shareholders won't force it. The shareholders won't force it because they want the most money, and musk as CEO seems to be the best path, or at least not a problematic one.
As for how that can be, it gets into how absurd Tesla stock is in the first place. There was a period where Tesla's market cap (total value of all shares) was higher than the entire rest of the auto industry combined. This was despite having no feasible path towards that level of production, and even growth in general wasn't looking too hot.

I don't know if this explains the entire price but we have all seen his securities fraud on Twitter.
There's money to be made when you know a company is going to tank. In fact there are people who specialize in bankrupting companies. When rich people commit fraud they don't get in trouble

He's a hypocrite, and a piece of shit. Stop listening to him. Stop reading his tweets. Stop giving him any attention at all. He's dirt under our boots and deserves nothing more.

Gonna find out real quick that Apple is more important to people than Twitter.
Ah hah! But is it more important than X?!
Yes. Nobody gives a shit about X.

Me: Hates musk.
Also me: dislikes Apple.
Still me: See's this story as Musk doing another stupid thing to kill more business on both ends.
Finally me: Yessss......this news pleases me.
What does he think, Apple is going to release a keynote tomorrow with Tim Cook saying “ah, my bad, Elon doesn’t like it so we’re rolling it back”. And if he blocks Apple devices from Viewing Xitter, they’ll finally move on to other platforms which will potentially cut his user base in half.

It'll get fun if he decides to cut Apple devices off Starlink.
Even funnier if Google also partners with a competitor, and Elon's employees have to go back to flip phones
Self-driving Cyber Phones with stainless steel cases that almost kind of fit, but not really.

He's pissing his pants because nobody will want to use Grok
Wait so will he ban Android because they have Gemini?
He has a vendetta against OpenAI as he tried to take it over and they wanted no part of that if I recall correctly
He was technically a founding member, but left the company. Literally all of this is because he's jealous he can't pull a Tesla and claim all the credit for another tech company.

Do it you man baby!
This'll end up just like the Microsoft/Netscape Navigator antitrust suit where Microsoft got broken up and sued out of existence for trying to suffocate Netscape Navigator by denying it access to the Windows Operating System. Netscape, originally the underdog, super-won and turned into Mozilla which is now a multi-trillion dollar company that provides a shining beacon of consumer rights done right.
Oh wait, I just remembered: Netscape died and barely anything changed—only the public ever really loses. Billionaires paying thousands of dollars in fines to fight for their turn to shit on their customers.

I ordered a ton of popcorn. Please don't let me down Elon.
He already removed Disney+ from the screens on Tesla's because they pulled advertising from Twitter.

Musk raised $6 billion in a recent funding round for his would-be OpenAI competitor, xAI, whose first product, Grok, is meant to serve as a politically incorrect answer to ChatGPT. In addition to Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, Musk is founder of brain interface startup Neuralink and tunneling venture Boring Company.
In case anybody is wondering why he's making a big deal out of it.
As to why emoji feels the need to make his own "anti-woke" AI, it's because he thinks that, at some point in the future, our AI overlords will decide to cull white people to meet "forced diversity quotas." I'm not kidding.
Ah yes, his legendary anti-woke ai
I love how he can't even bigot right.

560 BC - Oracle of Delphi: Croesus, if you make war on the Persians, you will destroy a mighty empire.
2024 AD - Oracle of Delphi: Elon, if you make war on Apple, you will destroy a mighty empire.
Me: Yes, Elon, do it. Do it now!

Who cares about X. Mastodon and other Fediverse services are better.
Also we all know nothing is going to happen.

Please do. Keep making headlines for self-destruction.
My go-to comment for every Musk headline never fails:
k.
He's just butthurt that he can't get xAI off the ground.
Do it coward. Keep kicking that bitch down the relevance hill. I want to see that bird's mutilated carcass at your feet so you can look stupid(er) and blame somebody else some more.
“Tim didn’t even ask me about Grok”
I have a theory that this guy tried his own implant tech which terribly failed and left permanent brain damage. it’s one way to explain the sudden and progressing unhingedness
When do you think that might have happened? Because he's been a documented dick for a long, long, longer time than most media give him credit for.
Yeah, this notion that Musk suddenly went off the rails is pure face saving fantasy.
Like, no, Musk didn't suddenly become an idiot. He's always been an idiot. We just bought his hype, and the healthy thing to do is admit it and learn a lesson.
