Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Yeah he's not dangerous at allYou don't need to take him seriously
I hate these rich sociopathic nerds. What a clown.
We don't, thank god. Because they almost never are.
You taking him seriously won't make the world a better place. Relax and enjoy the ride.
How is he dangerous to you? The hate for Musk here is something else
I don't care about him. I don't take him seriously. He's a clown. Laugh at the clown. Oh, and guys - he has become the richest man on earth in no time at all. That takes some doing. Acknowledge and laugh at the guy. Life is good!
There's genuinely being obtuse and then there's this.We don't, thank god. Because they almost never are.

Fair play Moby.
I don't think Musk deserves all the hate he's getting. That's not being obtuse. It's called "having a different opinion as yours"
I love people who definitely don't care about Musk, but they're somehow always up for defending him. But they don't care, like.
Yeah, I don't think I will enjoy him bringing rampant anti-semites, election deniers, and their ilk back into mainstream social media. I don't pretend to make the world a better place by taking him seriously, but I would hope that people with power would do so.
So then why are you happy that he's not as boring as the other billionaires? You seem to find him funny, which I can't imagine how. I find him, at best, a gobshite with horrible views who has the power and money to make a genuine (negative) difference to people's lives. He makes things 'interesting' in the same way Trump does. We shouldn't need that sort of stuff in our lives just to add a bit of spice.
His actions are serious and should be both condemned and protested.
We share the same viewpoint. I just don't care about him. If I had to be forced to watch an interview of his then he doesn't come across as your normal billionaire. Which in my small and limited world, is fun.
Trump sickens me. I guess you have a point.
Ben Carson who ran for President was a literal brain surgeon - dumb as bricks.
Condemned and protested?
OK, tell me, because as I've stated my world view is limited. I live in a cocoon. What exactly has he done that should be condemned and protested?
Found entertaining because they are completely unaffected and have no empathy for people who are. It's just TV entertainment.
Amplifying antisemitism and racism should be enough.
How has he done that?
By replatforming those that are?
Are you referring to Twitter?
Are you sure?
Well, to you I might indeed be obtuse. It's subjective
You can't be serious. Yeah it's hilarious that he's re-platforming all kinds of right-wing assholes who propogate dangerous ideology and proposing to unban practically everyone. Ha ha ha my sides are splitting.We don't, thank god. Because they almost never are.

On the plus side, if the libertarian dipshits all buy Teslas instead of V8s then a) that will be a climate win and b) they're slightly more likely than the average man in the street to die in an Autopilot error, which will be a climate win.

Its absolutely disgraceful what went on pre the takeover. I hope the police have a full investigation.
Its the 7th biggest company by maket cap. 3 years ago it was at 144.
Like all major companies the stock was overvalued. The stock is doing well all things considered. Not really his fault Biden is a disaster.
https://edition.cnn.com/2022/11/07/investing/stock-market-biden/index.html
The stock market under President Biden started with a boom, but it heads into the midterm elections looking more like a bust.
As of Monday, the S&P 500 has fallen by 1.2% since Biden took office in January 2021. That marks the second-worst performance during a president’s first 656 calendar days in office since former President Jimmy Carter, according to CFRA Research.

….. wait, you were joking, right?If only the SP500 number helped everyday working Americans pay their bills.
Can you explain to me how Biden has been a disaster for the US Stock Market? The world is in the midst of a global recession with inflation at a global level. Are you saying that Biden is responsible for the global crisis?
Also, bringing up Carter is interesting since they both had to deal with economies at the mercy of an energy crisis, with the fun bit being that Biden's was a political ploy by foreign actors to influence the midterms. I mean, remind me what happened on 11/8?
Not really sure to what extent you can attribute blame or credit to a President for the stock market's general performance, good or bad. The business cycle is the business cycle, sometimes Presidents get lucky with that, sometimes they don't. At the end of the day, it's not really Biden's fault that Facebook is below $1t because Zuckerberg is wildly overspending on VR, or Trump was the reason Microsoft was rising because everyone wanted to move to the Cloud.
Inflation is made in one place and one only. Washington. Biden and the fed are to blame for inflation.Can you explain to me how Biden has been a disaster for the US Stock Market?

The only thing that can cause inflation is monetary policy and gov spend.
Global inflation? Also, you know the chairman of the fed was a Trump appointee, right?
I'm talking about US inflation. All Bidens fault.
Inflation isn't an international thing. Eg Switzerland only has inflation of 3% .
I feel like you are the straight man in the comedy double act but you've forgotten the funny man at the bus station in the previous town.
Then explain to me what's causes inflation.
Hint it isn't unions,greed,oil producers, corporations etc.
All economists agree that inflation is created by excess money supply and government spending.
Covid messed up supply chains. Not that Covid is the only factor, mind. But it's not all to blame on Washington.
