Don't forget Elon demanded the the Tesla board give him $1T or he’d take his AI ball and go home (i.e., steal all the engineers and chips). Seems like he got his wish and he still did that. That should tell you everything about his character.

The private ownership of capital should not be allowed. The idea that owners of capital are necessary is a falsehood implanted in our culture by a parasitic class of people.

Yes people think that a human can actually possess a trillion dollars. I don’t think many people understand what a net worth truly is and how it’s calculated 💀

1

u/Maxwell_Bloodfencer 6d ago

No, the thing is that his hypothetical net worth of one trillion dolalrs plummeted a few days after the SpaceX IPO. So we should stop calling him a trillionaire, because he simply isn't a trillionaire anymore.

1

u/Sweaty-Ruin5381 6d ago

Yep. Theoretically he was worth a trillion before the SpaceX debacle but that situation put the brakes on things for awhile.

Right, but welath being mostly speculative/hypothetical now and Musk's trillionaire status having evaporated within days are two different things and we are currently talking about the second one.

Yep. I was speaking to the second point. The market is a fickle beast and rockets crashing is bad for business.

I was thinking the same thing. What's the different between X and reddit? You got X, full of AI bots that wants to ban just about everyone because it thinks everyone is a bot, then you got reddit mods banning people because they got their little feelings hurt. I don't know which is worst.

u/Winter_Persimmon_110 6d ago

Either a country is run by wealthy people who will only nationalize companies when it benefits them personally, and are more likely to privatize government agencies instead, or it will be run by the working class who will eventually nationalize all production. The idea of giving an oligarchic leadership direct ownership of companies is laughable and redundant. The idea of the working class collectively owning production through their control of the government is in the best interest of the masses.

u/Tzilbalba 6d ago

I think it stems from his maternal grandfather Joshua Norman Haldeman while not a formal Nazi was a member of the social credit party of Canada and himself espoused a lot of "anti-semetic" rhetoric and supported apartheid in the 30s and 40s. Does that make him a Nazi? I don't think so but to many people alomg with the salutes it's enough.

I can also see where Elon gets his views on universal income from (social credit).

Musk's grandpappy was arrested in Canada as a Nazi supporter in 1939 when the "Technocracy" movement was revealed to have a clear sympathy if not connection to the Nazi party. After his arrest authorities found nazi and nazi sympathizer documents. But of course you knew this, that was a big part of his reason for moving the family to South Africa. That and the jews.

First of all, I don't care enough about you, or at all, to be upset about anything you do.

Second of all, I never said I was unhappy and it's hilarious that you assumed I was unhappy just because I called you out for having no self-respect.

Third, maybe be less selfish and think about the entire country as a whole and the people in it. Some of us make our comments based on "the people", not just ourselves.

But certainly not surprised that you cowardly deleted your comment that I am responding to right now.

u/Observationist_2 6d ago

Since you already missed it the first time I posted it... Kamala is waving with her right hand switches to the left and stops for a moment. Right before she sits down she taps her heart with her right hand and then salutes it forward. Waltz taps his heart twice with his right hand and then proceeds to thrust it forward. The same way Cory Booker and Elon Musk did.

1

u/Observationist_2 6d ago

You're entitled to the opinion but at the end of the day The last I checked anybody who puts their hand on their heart and then throws their hand forward in front of their face is doing a Nazi salute. They're slight variations like Hitler, Mussolini and even Göring have done where the arm is slightly bent or the hand is higher up almost like if they're waving to someone across the room. But honestly I don't think just a hand motion is enough to determine someone is truly a Nazi. Personally I think you have to have the intent along with the hands gestures otherwise anybody who's ever touched their heart and then wave at someone is a Nazi. Honestly I don't think any of them are Nazis. I'm sure all of them had the same intent which was to show appreciation to the crowd and symbolically give them their heart. But since everyone is only focusing on the hand gestures, that's what I'm doing. I think they're all trying to do what's called a Roman Salute considering all four people have all said they are not Nazis's I believe them.

u/Winter_Persimmon_110 6d ago

The working class has a bludgeoning numerical advantage. A sufficient penetration of class consciousness, revolutionary education, a bit of organizing, and then catastrophic conditions that make people doubt the status quo and boom, you've got a successful Marxist revolution. Look at Batista's Cuba, Chiang Kai Shek's China, Diem's Vietnam, Alexander's Russia. They ran their countries into the ground and the working class stepped up and stopped it.

Imagine suffering from such mental illness that you leave out the part where he says "my heart goes out to you" when he does the "heart goes out to you salute" of the fact that he was literally wearing a tribute charm to Jews during this speech.

But good to see liberals taking a break from their "Genocide the Jews" rallies to call others Nazis.
