2010? By that point, the global financial crisis had already proven that there are no consequences for financial manipulation if you're rich enough.

I think they’re going to IPO soon, so gotta get this shady shit done first.

Private, but don’t they serve a number of government contracts?

This is basically the government bailing out Tesla directly for a shitty truck.

So the fuck what? Who cares what he says on his platform for bots, Russians, and fellow morons?

They will a hundred percent buy them at full price, in a big money transfer from space x to Tesla so muck can get his trillion dollar payday that was voted in

I used to religiously watch launches and cheer on their success. Now the company doesn’t even exist to me.

I've read several articles that say they have teams assigned specifically to handle elon in all his companies - to keep him busy and away from the actual critical work.

Business idea. I make an ai using ai, then hord investments and use that money to invest into another ai that I have made using an ai tool. Rinse repeat

Once you have enough money winning a court case is indistinguishable from losing one.

Ahhh I thought he straight up got charges dismissed my bad. But yeah $60 million for elon is a slap on the wrist, or "cost of doing business"

I get what you're going for, but the amount of energy stored in any mass going at orbital speed far outweighs the energy stored in its chemical makeup. A 1kg mass traveling 7.8km/s (LEO speed) has 30MJ of kinetic energy. By comparison, 1kg of TNT has 4.184MJ of chemical energy. So even if the Cybertruck was made out of TNT, the TNT would only account for about 13% of the total energy. Removing the batteries would significantly reduce the mass which would have a large impact on the "fireball," but I don't think that's what you're going for.

Sure, but still a number which it is possible to fathom.

eh, the SP500 is just the slot machine meant to real people in

real $ is on learning what individual tickers are really worth and trading on that

bubbles like this are basically just milking pensioners and whatnot who buy into the system mindlessly, when enough buy in and there's a catalyst to get peoples eyes on the screens (imo, trump finally croaking) so they can sell into it profitability the algo's switch to dumping, which'll then cause mainstreet to panic sell seeing half their retirement vanish overnight

I do wonder if people can make direct food subscriptions with farmers and just bankrupt the entire corporate infrastructure one commodity at a time
