Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Is Elon’s Success an Accident”.
Is elon’s prior success, a total accident, or is it that he’s just gotten arrogant from the prior success, because it’s pretty clear looking at this that these are not genius IQ moves, so what’s happening um my my thing here is: he I think he knee-jerked on a Joke to buy Twitter and then it went a little too far. He tried to bail out they forced him. He has a relatively recent thing talking about like how he he didn’t actually see a reality where he was going to get stuck purchasing it um, and then he did get stuck purchasing it um. It was either get stuck purchasing it or pay a. I think, like a one billion dollar fine, how do you just pay the billion? Because what because he has absolute Fu money and just doesn’t care, I think right.
So then, why not pay the billion? I guess the damage to the ego would have been great. I don’t know that’s yeah but then hold on. He has. He has effectively infinite money, but there’s and someone tried to call him on it and he he said f you and instead of paying the one billion dollar fine took it from them, fired all of them.
Trashed their house and burned everything. I think I think that’s what’s happening. Oh that doesn’t seem big brain to me. I mean sure, but again he still has infinite money.
It like it does. When you have a way he still has like I’m assuming like what 150 billion dollars. That’S just a random guess, uh, it’s a lot less than that now Tesla’s stock, where most of his wealth was tied up as a lot more downer than it was. Google says. 188.1 billion yeah. I guess I don’t know how recent that is.
I guess we’ll have to see we’ll have to see um yeah. I don’t know I just I just don’t know. I just don’t know what uh I don’t know what to make of it, because there have definitely been times that I look at what he’s doing I go yeah. It’S got to be like 4D chess.
You know, I must just not understand the game he’s playing right now. Uh this game just looks like absolutely having not only bad ideas, but no idea whatsoever how to tell if your ideas are bad or how to manage people and um supposed to be a smart business manager like that’s this whole image. Yeah again, I feel like he’s just trying to light the light, the room on fire um, but yeah. Apparently I updated as of yesterday. He is at 199.8 billion. That’S a lot of billions! That’S a lot of billions! It’S it’s entirely too many billions! So like okay! He lost 40..
He still has 200. nothing matters, he has infinite money. I don’t know yeah, okay. I think I think it was worth it to him.
Even if what he ends up doing uh is just completely nuking it. I think it was worth it to him for, for all those people that were like laughing at him and going hahaha. We got you you have to.
You have to pay us a billion dollars. Now. I think he’s going like no, I’m gon na buy the whole thing and just fire all of you and nuke everything and here’s here’s.
My response to that. I think that if, if the, if the pride or the you know the pr negative PR implications of paying the billion dollars was what made him go through with the purchase um, I think the only way he thinks going through with it looks better is, if he Actually thinks he can run the thing and he he did like he tweeted out these simplistic solutions for problems that just obviously weren’t gon na work and wouldn’t listen to anybody about how they were obviously bad. I just I can’t I can’t fathom it um anyway. There’S other news very different thing than the companies that he has ran outside of this well yeah content.
Moderation is the worst job in the world yeah and it’s social platforms are very like he went from maps and payments to cars and spaceships and other crew very high technical, make an extremely complicated top of the line, device or thing and have people buy or use It um, and it is a product that you package and you deliver. This is now um he’s entering the web space where nothing makes money Everything Burns millions or billions of dollars. He took one of those companies and took it private, which is just that just doesn’t work like it actually doesn’t, because they don’t make money um.
So there’s an issue uh and – and I think he just yeah just – has no idea what he’s doing but was unwilling to pay the one billion, because it would have been a loss. I think, like a not a loss of money, I don’t think he probably cared as much about that. I think it would be a a like strategic loss.
If that makes sense, the the people on the board would have beat him, and he probably didn’t like that. Yes, I have no idea well, I got I got nothing else other than this is hilarious and I will be continuing to watch it because it’s hilarious .
