The poorest rich man who ever lived - I know that journalists like you detail this and it’s mostly only nerds like me who appreciate it - but he is levered on leverage by virtue of collateralized loans on his stock - at some point his crash will be a financial disaster
Huge amounts of muskito's tesla shares are leveraged as collateral on risky, massive loans for garbage like this rn. I would love to watch him crash and burn just for not closing another outrageous deal, personally. But it feels like he would choose to maximize damage on his way down which is scary.
This is Elon's MO. He doesn't build his own stuff, he buys it, puts his name on it, and tries to convince the world that he invented , , , , , OpenAI/X-ai,etc.
He actually did co-found one of the companies that was merged to form Paypal. But you're certainly right in thinking he has no claim to building the tech that made Paypal successful. Indeed, it happened *in* *spite* of him.
Yup, considering he was given the arse because he wanted them to move all their servers to Windows. Which given that the IIRC the site was written in PHP at the time was a FUCKING TERRIBLE idea.

To me though, as much as they dislike one another, they're ultimately on the same team... they're just playing their billionaire game while we watch from a distance with our popcorn that we can barely afford, we should be treating the existence of billionaires as an omen of worse to come
Fuck this thief Elon musk!If the bish is so rich,why is his lying, thief ass stealing from poor hard working Americans? The bish is not the fucking richest man in the world,it's a damn Americans.It's us who have made your ass think your ass is something, when you're a fucking loser,thief, and lier!

is it a troll? probably not, PE firms going along with it.
sand in the gears? impede their fundraising?
hopefully / presumably not abuse state power to pressure them to sell
Remember when he was adamant that there needed to be a pause in research cuz (cue spooky sounds) we don't know the dangers of such advanced tech.
Translation: Guys! Wait up! Wait for me you guys! Come on!
