5d chess or not, hear me out.

He may be autistic enough to burn it all down from the inside.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (3 children)

why are we still using autistic as an insult in 2025?

he may be moronic enough to burn it all down from the inside, but autism doesn't have shit to do with it. I'm tired of people trying to use autism as an get out of jail free card for utter stupidity. autism has very little to do with intelligence levels, and even if it does, it's the other way around according to most studies.

Have you looked up the history of the word "moron"?

The thing is, this turd burgler could lose millions a day for the rest of his life and still retire more well-off than just about anybody. When's the last time a truly filthy rich person ended up in the gutter?

Are people that stupid to overvalue Tesla that much for years or is somebody stabilizing the market rate? Somebody is playing 5D chess but it is not Musk.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

It's because so many institutional investors own Tesla stock. Most of the big hedge funds and that kind of thing. At least that's what I've heard, but it makes sense to me.

i don't understand these figures

Lost $300,000,000 with Trump Losing billions more by the day

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

$300mil was about how much he paid to buy the election, he’s lost about $33bil in stock value of Tesla in the last few days due to the public sniping with Agent Krasnov

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Ah, that makes sense

None of them are geniuses, it's just really hard to lose at capitalism when you have capital.

Its a human blind spot. A lot of people confuse wealth for intelligence. In lower socio-economic levels, succeeding involves a lot of intelligence. Its a fucking struggle. Lots of fish trying to eat each other and take what little resources we have. One fuck up and it's all over. So anyone that is succeeding is also someone that with enough intelligence to foresee pitfalls and avoid them or escape with their wealth.

Those values are used to evaluate the people at the top which are swimming in a whole different pond. The neopotism and safety nets built into the upper crust of society is not part of the calculation that a lot of people use to factor into how they see these people. They still apply the same dog eat dog mentality to the upper crust of society.

honestly wealth at any level requires luck… intelligence barely factors into it. it’s less that 1 fuck up and it’s all over, and more that 1 fuck up without someone to cover it up or bail you out and it’s all over… the wealthier you are, the bigger the fuck up before you or someone else can bail you out:

poor? it’s an unexpected car issue

rich? it’s that you fucked over literally an entire country for years on end in a very public way that gained you very little

But Musk wants to be a trailblazer and prove that you can lose at anything.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I like the way you put it

He is secretly a shareholder in BYD and shorting Tesla. Nothing else makes sense.

He's not stupid, only suffers from drug induced dementia

I always assumed he was a moderately intelligent tech CEO until I saw a clip a few years ago where he was showing off the evolution of Starlink rockets and he referred to the piping and whatnot on the outside of the rockets as "the fiddly bits".

Unrelated, but he was also wearing a t-shirt that highlighted his noodle arms and his man boobs. You would think that somebody vain enough to get hair implants and plastic surgery would have enough sense to at least dress in a flattering manner.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

if you've seen his body you know there's no fabric on this here earth that can flatter his troglodyte figure.

he was always assumed to be somewhat smart by people who don't know what he's talking about. the moment he talks about anything you know you realize he's full of shit. that's why astronauts he idolized for example never bought his shit, even when he was at his peak of popularity.

he's the embodiment of "it's better to stay silent and be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt". he's also the best counterargument to any idiot who thinks we live in a meritocratic system.

He used to be stupid. He still is, but he used to be, too.
