Not at all what I have said at any point in this thread.

I expressed solidarity with another user.

Then you showed up and started a straw man argument proving my point.

I’m not interested in feeding the trolls with an adversarial conversation. Just showing support in this thread about negativity.

May you have the day you deserve.

    I dumped all of my risky stocks prior to the SpaceX IPO and reallocated my 401k to bonds. Im about 90% bonds at the moment.

    On my active trading account I’m in bonds funds like BIL and SGOV and dividend funds like SCHD. I have some individual stocks in relatively safe industries that should bounce back.

    You can never predict the future but it feels like a lot of headwinds on a market who’s gains are concentrated in only handful of companies. I’m ok with sitting out for 12 months or until there is some clarity in the market. I have a major renovation going on right now so spending my cash on property improvements is ok with me.

    Musks old tricks aren’t working like they used to and the walls are closing in on him for Tesla.

    The latest Roadster demo is a sign that he’s relying more and more on theatrics to sell cars. Ten years ago you could kind of buy that he would have full autonomous driving at some point. Other car companies are far more advanced than him and the Chinese’s are eating his lunch on electric vehicles and beating him in every market but the US.

    He pivoted Tesla to robotics and self driving taxis but other companies are ahead of him there as well and he knows it.

    He doesn’t have any tech to set Tesla apart and justify its grossly overpriced stock.

    He wants to roll it under Space X to ride the only two advantages he has left Starlink and Rockets.

    He knows the US government under any administration won’t let either of those two go belly up and wants to link them with his other failed or failing companies.

    The only way left is Evolution not Revolution. The people are outgunned, out-teched, and frankly too self-centered to care.

    :Looks at Amazon, Meta, Google, Apple, Open AI, Anthropic CEO’s regularly meeting with the president and participating in official state functions… :

    You sure about that tech advantage?

    No, the “vote by their feelings” people left long ago. These are the hardcore mother fuckers left supporting Republicans and MAGA.

    These are the low IQ, racists, the facists, authoritarians. Some just simply won’t vote for any other party besides Republicans.

    These are the people who would have still supported Hitler in the hours before he put his gun in his mouth.

    These people won’t stop even when Trump is gone. They will deny, rebrand and come back again supporting the same shitty agenda.

    Cool, just an FYI when I got perma banned from Reddit a few years ago I was able to go back into my past posts and change them.

    I generated some AI gibberish slop and posted it in all of my past posts just so they couldn’t benefit from my past participation.

    If your still able to do so I highly recommend poisoning your content.

    Logisticaly it isn’t going to happen in the near term

    Bezos and Europe don’t have the capacity to send and maintain the numbers of satellites in orbit to build their own satellite constellations. Sending them up on SpaceX rockets invites espionage and sabotage of the equipment. Blue Origin has its own troubles and is years away from supporting that tempo of launches.

    ASTs has the tech to reduce the number of satellites but their options to send satellites into orbit are limited and they don’t want SpaceX near their tech. They used Blue Origin’s rocket and it was a disaster.

    China might be a contender but they’ve only just started their reusable rocket program and likely can’t generate the number of launches for quite some time.

    She rode the MAGA wave into office. She knows how to get attention, talk to her base and manage social media. She like all other Republicans towed the line and voted the way they were told to vote.

    She was safe, rich, famous and happy. She didn’t see anything wrong with her votes.

    When she finally realized that Trump was evil did she try to change or fight the system. No she retired and times it to earn life long healthcare and retirement benefits. Just like all of these Republicans “who have seen the light” and now oppose Trump.

    They didn’t do so when they had the power or when their vote mattered. Because there would have been consequences. They all just skulked off into the background.

    They will all likely come crawling back when the political winds shift and Trump is gone.
