The Elon Musk Twitter shitshow

And 50 years from now that thousand dollars, assuming an annual return of 10% would be a tad over $100k.
You’re not going to get to a million dollars that way until 2095.
You’ll need to hire some rocket scientists or something to do it faster.
Who called Musk a real life Tony Stark. I don't think one person here did. I said, "There are no heros, there are no villians" and then those that are new to hating Musk started bringing up Tony Stark. It was like, "Oh shit guys we are losing this argument, lets throw this thing in an entirely new direction".
Fellas I may have been too busy to post the past few months but I haven't forgot the game. 😄
Not sure what your point is. Musk is where he is because of his father's emerald mine. He wasnt broke on the streets with $1,000 to his name
His point is that you would have failed if in the same situation in comparison to what Elon did.
He is also right. Which in turn makes your opinion near worthless.
I don't know. This comes across as major Iron Man hero worship to me.
How do you know that? What makes Elon so special?
Opinions are worth nothing anyway. Certainly, the opinion of an egotistical bloated know it all, who says he is above it all, isnt worth more than anyone elses.
You aren't doing a very good job dissuading me from thinking that you perceive Musk as some sort of god like person with posts like these.
LOLOLOLOL...how do I know that??? Because you have been political bitching on HROT for a decade.
Your post isn't serious.
What do you think HROT is genius? Were you expecting me to write you a treatise on the light spectrum from ultra-violet to Infra-red?
Musk isn't god like for any of us who are not ultra political however we can see things you can't.
Musk has gone from a green tech person beloved by the left, to a counter culture icon of the apes, to a person hated by those who initially loved him. On the flip he was a person hated by the right who were anti green, to a counter culture icon of the apes, to a person who is beloved by those who initially hated him.
Why? Because two segments our populace, the crazy left and right, thought he was against and then for them, or for them and then against. It is moronically sad. He is uber rich, he has been very successful, he bought twitter, that doesn't mean his motives are bad just bc they don't align 100% with some stupid political following.
Reusable spaceship is the biggie.
Imagine if cars, boats and planes were single use.
Hey...I wouldn't have been as successful as him either, but at least I am willing to be honest about it instead of trying to push some stupid political obsession.
Look it isn't your fault, you bought into the "my political party will take care of me" hype and you just don't know how to get out so instead you continuously double down. Just walk away from it. Turn off the 24/7 news and WALK AWAY.
Musk was worth what? Around $20-30 billion pre pandemic? Then it ballooned to $340 billion in 2021. And now it's around $250 billion. That comes across as bubble behavior.
Via stock inflation? There is nothing tangible in relation to the market caps. A car company with a tiny share that has a market cap like that?
Its all pure speculation. Its like Jim Fisk and the Gold Crisis.
Have you been shorting Tesla all the way down since you have the game figured out?
You called him transcendent. You said his accomplishments were history changing. That isn't god worship?
No, because he will sell to one of them in time...and walk away looking like a genius because people drove up his stock prices on speculation.
He made the electric car on a mass scale a possibility.
He introduced reusable rockets that could deliver payloads to space.
He landed those rockets on a platform in the water.
Everyone loved him!
He hinted at buying Twitter...
Politicians started attacking him
Why....because they can't control him like they can control you. That's transcendent and it makes govt officials very nervous as he is willing to call out bad political actors and bad ideas. Again, they have no means to control someone like this and they don't know how to act/react. They throw out some red meat and the minions slurp it up.
Yes, printing money made the rich richer.
That’s what it does.
Central banks know this.

November 2, 2010, is a day that that has been mostly forgotten by history, but that should live in infamy. It was the day when America’s democratic institutions retreated to the sidelines of economic policymaking and largely left the nation’s economic development to the Federal Reserve. The result was a decade of printing money that has primarily benefited the very rich and stoked asset prices in ways that continue to destabilize global financial markets.

Between late 2010 and 2014, the Fed used quantitative easing to create about $2.3 trillion. To put that in perspective, that’s more than twice as much money as the Fed had created during the first 95 years of its existence. The bank crammed two centuries’ worth of new money creation into a few short years.

“It begins to seem like free money,” Duke said. “Free money to a politician is heaven.” But Duke and others inside the FOMC pointed out during internal debates that the experiment in QE did indeed carry costs. One of these costs was driving up income inequality.
All of those were existing technologies before Musk. He didn't create Tesla. He bought it. He didn't invent space travel. He repackaged it. We sent people to the moon over 50 years ago. We've had reusable rockets for that same time. We're really going to stroke him off for getting payloads to space when we've been doing that for half a century?
Can you not make the distinction between the (fictional) person and the (fictional) alter ego? The (fictional) company responsible for producing arms was Stark Industries, not Iron Man industries. Iron Man didn’t develop/design weapons, Tony did (and his father before). Weapons were being produced and sold before there was ever an Iron Man. Tony Stark, post Iron Man inception, actually attempts to stop the sale of (his) weapons.
Enough effort? Or are you still flummoxed by a simple distinction being made? Maybe I should have added a 😉 to help with your feels.
There have been other presidents in the past, are you really going to let Biden all down your throat? He didn't even invent the presidency. I say this liking Biden, but you clearly want to go full stupid in this thread.
Your argument is silly and you are clearly ignoring the commercialization of what he has done and the economies of scale he has been able to achieve which has resulted in benefits for consumers and tax payers.
People who have never been in leadership positions tend to devalue leadership...I think we are seeing a lot of that here today.
As a plot device, I suppose, but in (fictional) reality Iron Man is Tony Stark. That's why your response initially made no sense, and going back I realize you're not even the OP I responded to.
NASA was not. And neither is Space X. They discard the first stages of the rocket system after launch.
😂 . Might want to rethink this one. Or should I inquire what your definition of “spaceship” or “reusable” are?
Or maybe some who are in leadership positions know a con man when they see one....
