Elon earning that BILLIONS of dollars. 💁🏽 Sir, I salute you. The largest grift ever. I don't feel bad for a single person that lost money.
All of his work has been grifts from the OG X to PayPal and beyond. He just seemed enigmatic or inspired to some people for a time, enough that kool-aid was drunk. (South Africans do have a way of mesmerizing people though, must be the accent.)
That some good technology happened to pop out of it along the way had less to do with him, and more the engineers tasked with making it happen.
This motherfucker failed up while getting jacked off for a horse.
I know what these words mean individually..
Dyslexic with a non autocorrect keyboard. You want to still a wheelchair next?
I fucking love you!
Folks are mesmerized by South Africans? Whenever I here one I just here the Anglo-sphere equivalent of the middle of nowhere Nevada truck stop accent.
I don't know about South Africans, but he definitely mesmerized Peter Thiel, who has spent years crushing on him. And I am convinced it's not a platonic crush, or at least didn't start out that way.

Like you can't even be mad at this point. He ripped them off to their face and they said YES! This should be the death nail in the cryptobro era but its not.
One can be mad for this way he increases his power to scam even more people and disrupt meaningful things by hyperlooping public transportation and teslaing EVs' reputation.
Nail, meet head.
They voted to give him all that money again after a judge tried to save them. I don't even understand. No one is worth that kind of money.
