Elon Musk - news and discussion
- Thread starter tim
- Start date
Musk Snr on GMB this morning. Fuckin hell, he's even weirder than his son. He's basically saying he wants his own son to be leader of Reform, and therefore the next PM of the UK given that he can't be POTUS.
Can someone explain to me how Musk is the richest man on the planet btw? Tesla's not particularly profitable I don't think... how has he done this?

I think changing would make sense and have told the mods via the report button. I don't think I can change it myself.Hey tim still think it’s an open question whether Musk is the ‘greatest visionary of our time’? How about updating this thread title?
Elon Musk Cusses Out Student Who Called Him a Fake News Machine
Elon Musk launched into a foul-mouthed X tirade directed at a student who called him out for allegedly spreading disinformation. “Elon Musk is rapidly becoming the largest spreader of disinformation in human history, hijacking political debates in the process,” wrote Joni Askola, a Finnish...www.yahoo.com

It's a shame when thread titles get sterilised because it's often kind of interesting in retrospect to see what tone the discussion started out as. The first few pages (or more) are often full of comments made in response to the title, and then this context gets removed.
Perhaps the original title could be added to the OP, for background?

The thing that strikes me looking at the OP is how recent it is tbh. A bit less than 8 years isn't that long to go from just coming onto the radar of people here (I think we'd have heard of him by that point but he obviously wasn't prominent enough to have a running thread) into the grotesque that he is now.
He also has to to be the weirdest human being currently living. He outdoes Kim Jong Un. I can appreciate this, objectively. He's fucking nuts. I mean I've met some nutters in various dodgy establishments down the years in south London but I still think Musk would take the the biscuit. He even makes Trump and Farage look a little bit sane. They look a little bit upstaged by his sheer..... fucking unhingedness.

Look out, he's got a gnu!
Given “the greatest visionary of all time or a scam artist” I always assumed we stared off taking the piss and have been justified in doing so

Liverpool fans react to rumours that Musk wants to buy the club.
*Edit: sadly AI but I imagine there'll be some fun responses coming up.
And the story: Elon Musk would be interested in buying Liverpool FC, claims father
He's definitely picked the wrong club to invest in

Probably somewhere in that crowd is my wife's brother. I would lay any sum of money you care to mention he is 100% supportive of that banner. However if Musk wanted Liverpool he could buy up Fenway Sports Group easily.
He's become the greatest living proof that no-one should ever have as much money as he does.
It's very interesting though that the one regime he does not criticise is China, he seems to be aware of the fact there is still one government that wouldn't hesitate to cut him down to size.

These players wages are far too much, I could employ non league ones for 50 quid a week.He could get rid of half the team, 5 or 6 players could double their work rate to save even more.

I think Tesla's share price is quite high (whether it's a bubble or not is another matter). Think he owned (or part owned?) paypal originally before it was sold to ebay.

Somehow he developed some software that became PayPal and sold it to eBay for $1.5 Billion. At the same time his brother built a city guide that was sold to Compaq for $307 million.
That was 25 years ago. And then it kinda went on from there.

Worst thing about tim's OP is that it senselessly conflates Branston the beloved pickle with Branson the beardy Virgin capitalist dickhead, nevermind the thread title.
Yeah, I think that context is always worth bearing in mind and is one reason why I get a bit prickly at all this "criminals like Yaxley-Lennon should be banned from standing" stuff - you can't ban criminals like Yaxley-Lennon without banning criminals like Bobby Sands, just like how you can't ban criminals like Trump without banning the likes of Debs. There's no technical or legal substitute for beating them politically. Not that we seem likely to do that any time soon.

I never go beyond the front page on the Star and would probably be sadly disappointed if I did, but using that method, it's my favourite newspaper by far.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
What’s funny, is that some narcissistic tech bro who’s sacked all the sensible people on his staff lays in bed snorting ket , wanking and tweeting and half the political class and newspapers of note in the UK jump to his tune.apparently he focuses ( in the loosest possible meaning of the word) on the UK because our news is in English and his sleep patterns are fucked by his drug taking so he’s asleep by late afternoon and then awake in the early hours for his time zone which is lunchtime early afternoon here. Apparently.
