Some quotes from Paul Ray Ramsey, Musk's and @thegregster's (new?) buddy:

Single mothers, rampant divorce, abortion and falling birth rates are part of the cancer that is destroying what is left of Western Civilization. But very few people (even conservatives) fail to realize that the inception of this cancer can be found in the passage of the 19th amendment.
The 19th amendment gave women the right to vote in the US.

If I were the EU president I would appoint Breivik as head of the refugee commission. We nee some creative solutions.
Anders Behring Breivik is a nazi who killed 77 people in a terrorist attack.

I believe it [the Holocaust] should be able to be discussed, let me put it that way. And that’s because — and it depends what you mean by the Holocaust. Do you mean that 6 million figure? You know that 6 million figure has been used many times before World War II, did you know that?
Edit: fixed quotes.

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.
Stock market was going great this year. Until that little thing happened. Ah yes, it was the war.

Blaming Biden for that is somewhere between idiotic and dishonest.

The guy's a breath of fresh air, c'mon. Just reading a list of the other richest people on earth is enough to put anyone to sleep. Musk is a character; always good for a laugh.
He’s a craven criminal and anyone that likes him is almost always weird as feck.

Inflation is made in one place and one only. Washington. Biden and the fed are to blame for inflation.

The only thing that can cause inflation is monetary policy and gov spend.
Hmmm, same policy during Trump's era that increased the public debt from 19T to 28T, more than any other president during 4 years.

Republicans love to talk about monetary policies. When they are in opposition, of course.

Indeed. I'm against Trumps/Rep economic policies especially those from 2016-2020. Eg new tariffs,running a budget deficit in his first year and then let it increase etc.

You can’t put foundations of your argument in $ market value and then say the market has no idea about the value of things.

That’s among the dumbest things I can imagine.

“Look how valuable this things is!”
[Stock tanks]
“It was overvalued anyway. I knew this”

Like…. What, the even?

The current inflation has not much to do with Biden though. US spent more money than it had. Under Clinton, under Bush, under Obama, under Trump. There might have been reasons for that (war for Bush, Obamacare for Obama, covid for Trump), but it still happened under both Republican and Democrat presidents. Bush doubled the public debt, so did Obama, and Trump increased by half (for only 4 years). In total, the public debt increased as much under Trump in 4 years as under Obama for 8.

Add to that global macroeconomic problems, high costs of oil, and especially the war in Ukraine, and shit happened. It had to happen, of course. You always pay the price for mismanagement and bad fiscal policies, sooner or later.

Economic bubble. Created by Biden and his buddies in both houses.

To be fair, even after stock tanking, Tesla is the 7th most valuable company in the world. And if the stock further tanks for 50%, it would be the 27th, just behind Meta (and way ahead of Toyota (45th) and VW (154th)).

It's funny that a couple pages ago we had someone saying something in the likes of "relax and enjoy the ride. What could go wrong?", followed almost inmediately by a guy quoting a Twitter nutjob while blaming liberals for pedophilia and Biden for worldwide inflation. Well, THAT could go wrong. Who controls and/or gatekeeps information, is actually a big deal.

I asume some people thought "What could go wrong" when Trump announced in 2015.

Nope, he just polarized the country, staged a coup attempt, enabled Putin and weakened NATO, most of which were fundamental to what ocurred later. But no, no wars at sight with him on the helm.

Sept 28 (Reuters) - Some major advertisers including Dyson, Mazda, Forbes and PBS Kids have suspended their marketing campaigns or removed their ads from parts of Twitter because their promotions appeared alongside tweets soliciting child pornography, the companies told Reuters.

What the hell were twitter at? Very poor moderation.
I get the wind up but I still think you're missing the humour angle here. Very poor moderation.

The lack of financial literacy :lol:
How many modes of transport have you invented? Did you invent PayPal? Didn't think so.

Seriously, everyone on here is just crawling on their knees begging for Twitter to fail but like everything Musk does single handedly it'll be a success, and you'll all be sitting at home in your bedsits moaning about how you didn't think about pushing the biased liberal elite out of Twitter and turning it into a proper free speech platform. If any of you think I'm being serious then you haven't been around here long enough

I’ll give this a 6/10 troll effort. Good conviction and anger behind your sentences but not enough Musk arse-licking and by the last sentence you were giving away the game. Would fool some newbies for sure though.

Is it possible to withdraw a vote for the lifetime achievement award? Asking for a friend.
