Elon Musk - news and discussion

[mauvais]

The US legal system features punitive damages based on the wealth of the defendant, so it's not like we can compare it to anything here. I don't understand it very well so can't really offer anything further.

 

[Combustible]

I remember reading that the damages you ask for are the maximum you can be awarded, although you inevitably end up getting less. So there is essentially no disadvantage in asking for the biggest amount possible

 

[DexterTCN]

He asked for £145 million. Fuck off.

I guess it's a small comfort that we can now openly refer to The Paedophile Elon Musk and it's not actionable in any way.

 

[tommers]

He's made a tune.

 

[weltweit]

He's made a tune.
..

Hasn't he got enough to do with his time, what with cars and space ships and all ?

You better not be doubting his vibe

There is a wee housey up the road from me with a Tesla parked outside.
Quite a normal little house, they obviously have more money than I might have expected.

Tbf he is pretty good at getting shit done.

Almost as good as Skippy when it comes to rescuing children from flooded caves

This is his midi life crisis I presume

Skippy was nothing more than a jumped up gofer. Who did he ever rescue? Nobody! He was nothing more than the bearer of bad news!

Elon gets political


Aka rich guy sees his business interests threatened and comes down on the side of “let the little people die”. I do hope this comes back to bite him HARD.

 

[mauvais]

You missed this:

 

[MrCurry]

Yes. Plain to see his position isn’t informed by any real facts or insight into the problem, but purely self-interest. It probably reveals his firm is in a much more fragile position than he would like people to realise.

 

[mauvais]

I feel like all you really need for jokes these days is an Elon Musk tweet, a little bit of time and the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme.

 

[weltweit]

I imagine Musk is desperate for people to return to buying Teslas. Perhaps there are also pressures from investors, Tesla is massively overvalued on the stock market which isn't his fault but it will remain an issue for many if the risk is there that the stock might slide.

 

[Yossarian]

Tesla is massively overvalued on the stock market

Musk agrees with you.

 

[Yossarian]

Did he go on some kind of bender after SpaceX won that moon lander contract yesterday?

 

[Argonia]

He says he is selling nearly all his possessions including his house.

He's cream crackers.

He's cream crackers.

It's easy to own nothing when you have his money. Simply rent everything.

 

[Chilli.s]

Get an office that looks just like a house.

 

[weltweit]

Musk agrees with you.

Great minds …

 

[weltweit]

Did he go on some kind of bender after SpaceX won that moon lander contract yesterday?

There are things I don't need to own also.

A Vincent Black Shadow 1,000cc V Twin. I don't need to own one at all but I want to have enjoyed riding one, assuming I can get used to the controls that is.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Musk agrees with you.

I thought he was not allowed to talk about share prices and shit any more?

 

[pesh]

apparently he's not allowed to fire his old house into space either.

Clearly smoking the same shit as Trump

 

[Yossarian]

He's definitely not meant to be tweeting about Tesla's share price, etc. - although since today's tweet has already cost him around $2.5 billion, I'm not sure if regulators will bother fining him.
