Elon Musk - news and discussion

[Orang Utan]

Plus he’s wired on ket

All the time?
If so, his bladder will pack up soon, so there is that I suppose

 

[Lotte]

If I was Ed Davey, I'd ask why he isn't doing something with his billions to combat grooming gangs instead of just moaning endlessly on Twitter.

 

[Orang Utan]

Totally this. I walk the dog at 0615 every day, yesterday, first day back at work in >2 weeks, pitch black, pissing down with rain, cold, was still a nice walk. Really don't get others I see walking their dogs with headphones on or staring at their phones, seems like a total waste of a good time to reset the noggin.

I get that, but I tend to see it as a vanishingly rare opportunity to listen to some music loudly and properly as I don’t really get that at home

You can't wear headphones at home?

 

[Orang Utan]

You can't wear headphones at home?

Yes, but there are other distractions at home.
I can’t just sit there listening.
Need to do summat physical whilst doing so

You could have a techno wank.

Too involved!

He is never going to prison, no matter what he does because he is simply too rich. He has a permanent security detail of 20 people so our only hope at this point is an overdose.

well if it was easy I wouldn't have to 'dream' about it

 

[Boris Sprinkler]

I used to view on such a scene with horror. Not so much now.
Still find the idea of being trapped somewhere with no music or reading material hellish

Trapped being the operative word.
If the bus gets stopped in traffic I’m the first one off.

As if Musk respects women who do any kind of labour.

Maybe he thinks he is actually related to Tommeh R!

Guardian has the headline "Elon Musk would be interested in buying Liverpool, reveals father"

First reaction what, all of it?

Second reaction ah means Liverpool FC. Almost hope he does, I'd have thought attendances would drop off a cliff.

Why would that be a good thing?

[ska invita]

is there any chance he has farmed this out to a minion to do?

It would be easily provable - surely he is having meetings and can be shown to be in a location whilst tweets keep landing.
I wouldn't be surprised thats what's happening.

Those who think this is all just ravings of a ket freak should listen to this - only a little mention of meltdowns but rather full of details of the rationale and material gain of what is happening - a clear pattern and logic:
Yanis Varoufakis and Cory Doctorow:


Cory's suit in the thumbnail needs no further comment

Or Team X, as it would soon be called

Yeah I get all of that, just not wishing penury on people just cos they support a rival team. We don’t do it with bands or artists we like. Just football teams.

It would almost be worth it for the special edition of bullshit rodeo: Bullshit Rodeo

They should merge the two Liverpool teams and have them play in purple

 

[Yossarian]

First reaction what, all of it?

Sad part is, he could probably afford to: 207,491 households in Liverpool times an average house price of £199,000 works out to around £41.2 billion, meaning Musk can afford to buy every house in Liverpool eight or nine times over

 

[Santino]

I think there's plenty of daft ill-wishing based on musical tastes.

I hate Liverpool and I don't wish that on them at all.

"How much are paying these players? Fire the lot of them. We'll find cheaper ones".

He could get rid of half the team, 5 or 6 players could double their work rate to save even more.

 

[Rebecca Riot]

"How much are paying these players? Fire the lot of them. We'll find cheaper ones".

He'd shut down the women's team and tell them they should be at home having babies, not kicking a football around.

Are there? I’ve never heard any singsongs at gigs about other bands’ fans

 

[Lurdan]

Are there? I’ve never heard any singsongs at gigs about other bands’ fans

I recall Eddie and the Hot Rod fans chanting and hurling abuse and missiles at bottom of the bill Aswad.
