So you get his scraps and somehow feel like he's your champion? You realize his personal wealth has increased by giving himself massive cash payments and stock options at a cost to the shareholders, right?

I'm just curious. Why does one man gathering wealth, thus reducing your own buying power, make you so happy? Are you not a cuck?


and you feel the same way about zuckerburg, gates, bezzos, and cuban....right?

That doesn't change what I said at all. There are absolutely finite resources and you are giddy over another man accumulating them. You don't think that's just a bit silly?

Yes, there are many finite resources, but wealth is not among them. We create wealth by more efficiently using/exploiting these resources, and our respective ownership of these utilizations.

I'm not giddy. I don't give a shite about Elon, one way or another. I'm just saying that your argument in the original post that I quoted was just a bit silly.

That doesn't mean it it isn't over valued. I saw a graphic...Tesla's market capitalization is more than like the top 10 car companies...combined.


This is such a lazy and flawed analysis. Tesla is anything but a car company. It can't be compared to other car companies. Wall Street analysts are finally seeing the light.

Average workers might get fricked but Musk will be the worlds first trillionaire


You do realize that Musk is literally the only tech billionaire trying to put some curbs on AI development? The rest of them want unfettered freedom to build Skynet.

Totally man, like 100 or so billion wasn’t enough for Elon to pay the light bill and groceries for the month.

He doesn't give a frick.

Honestly, I don't think he'd really live different if worth $5 million or $300 billion.

He lives in like a 2000 sq ft house in Boca chica.

Drives a Tesla.

Doesn't dress fancy.

Guy really doesn't care.
