Well…I just remembered this little tidbit that I read this morning and thought I’d do a shorty about it…did you know that ole elon is letting the Russian army use his starlink satellites to help kill Ukrainians? Yep, there are photos of the receivers in Russian outposts and the only way they can get them or use them is if elon allows it…and he periodically shuts off the Ukrainian units to sow confusion when the Russians want to attack…how the hell is this not treason? Since the DOD paid for the development of the technology, he should be on the hook for espionage, too by giving that technology to the Russians…do we need any more reasons to tax the hell out of billionaires who do whatever they want? Nope…geez..

Poor, poor Elon…
Well…I laughed my butt off the other day when I read that ole elon’s 56 billion dollar pay package at Tesla was voided by a judge in response to a suit from a shareholder that owns about 9 shares of Tesla…you may ask “how the hell did elon get the board to approve such an egregious package?” that’s pretty easy..appoint a bunch of cronies to be on the board who just rubber stamp anything elon wants…and now he has to return the money to the company…and one thing to remember that this was the largest pay package in the history of business here in the US…and it was found that the cronies on the board didn’t negotiate at all or protect the company in the negotiations but conferred with elon to figure out how to steal the money…I think it’s just a case of an entitled billionaire rigging the system with little regard for the other investors or the people who work at Tesla…again, ignoring rules that they don’t like and think don’t apply to them as all the damn billionaires do…poor, poor elon…geez…
Elon better watch out…
Well…with the news yesterday that ole elon shut down the starlink internet connection that Ukraine was going to use to attack Russian warships that have been launching missiles at Ukrainian civilians, I think he has now branded himself a war criminal for helping Russia continue to murder…and he better not be traveling anywhere or he could end up in the Hague being tried for those crimes….now do you understand why I really hate this asshole? Anyone who helps elon in any way is a partner to helping Russia and that includes anyone who buys a tesla or uses SpaceX and I think NASA should be punishing him for this crap…say maybe nationalizing both starlink and SpaceX…no one should have the power to murder just because they are rich….so take it away from him…and tax the billionaires until they’re not one anymore…geez…
Cheap elon did it…
Well…it is starting to trickle out that the failure of starship this past week is a direct result of ole elon being cheap…when I was watching the launch, I noticed that 6 or 7 or the outer ring engines were dark and knew it couldn’t be good…and they were dark because elon cheaped out on the launch pad and didn’t build flame deflectors for under the pad…he just dumped the exhaust from the 39 engines onto the concrete pad and the aftermath photos showed that the pad was totally destroyed from it…and debris from the pad bounced up and destroyed the engines…some of the chunks of concrete flew almost a half mile and destroyed a bunch of cars…and the dust and dirt from the pad covered the sensitive wetlands the pad is built on…and the reason he built in Texas was that he could do whatever he wants with no regulation…typical billionaire bullshit that they get away with all of the time…now one question I have is where were the engineers as all this crap was going on? The math should have told them that the concrete under the pad was not strong enough to take the exhaust of 39 engines fired at once but not one of them said a thing since ole elon is notorious for firing people who tell him no…so, all of this is on elon and I hope the feds step in and at least fine spacex for the damage this launch did…we know Texas won’t…geez…
Elon sets a record…
Well…with the cratering of Tesla stock and all of his other stupid financial moves, ole elon has set a record that I’m sure he never wanted to….he is the first person in the history of the world to lose over 200 billion dollars…yep, he’s lost half of his fortune since he bought twitter and with all of the shenanigans there expose him as being a lousy businessman and right wing troll, the sales of teslas is cratering along with the stock price and even the price of used teslas is falling like a rock as his yes men at twitter go about ruining it. So, can we just admit that when you start out with 400 million dollars in inheritance and make some money from it, it doesn’t make you a genius or even a good person…it just makes you appear to be an insufferable asshole with how you treat the people around you…I hope he goes broke….geez…
Elon Musk…super genius…
Well…I sure hope none of you guys has any Tesla stock…over the past year it has lost over 75% of it’s value and musk has cost stockholders over 800 billion dollars…so, is this some sort of elevenety level chess, or is he just some right wing asshole who started out rich and got richer by accident? His moves with both tesla and with twitter seems to show that he is not the super genius that he played on tv but just another hack with too much money and too many sycophants and yes men who he has surrounded himself with….and while we’re at it, let’s just remember how SpaceX got to be successful…it was all of the government contracts and subsidies it got from NASA…without them, it wouldn’t exist so no, it wasn’t elon’s genius but yours an my money that did it…it seems that people liked tesla when he still had that undeserved veneer of genius but now that people see the true elon, they don’t want to have anything to do with him…and I don’t, either….
Elon’s meltdown is going to cost him…
Well…with the Thursday night massacre at twitter where ole elon started to permanently block a bunch of journalists including Keith Olbermann for some pissy little reason, the thin skinned moron is going to pay for that in the UK where regulators are already readying fines since it is against the law to do that there…and it is just what I talked about a couple of weeks back when I noted that facebook just paid a 250 million dollar fine for running afoul of the content moderation laws there and this could cost elon at least that and maybe more…and the whole thing started when elon blocked a teenagers account on twitter that followed where his private jet was at any time….and then it escalated when reporters started calling elon on it and posting links to instructions how to set up an account on Mastodon…so then he blocked any account that mentioned Mastodon…oh, and do yourself a favor…go over and set up an account on Mastodon…no ads, no right wing crazies, and no elon…and lots of nice people….so in addition to losing a lot of his ad revenue, elon is going to be on the hook for big fines in both the UK and EU…can’t happen to a bigger moron….
People are embarrassed…
Well…just read a funny little article that says that people are now becoming embarrassed to drive their Teslas with the idiot musk revealing who he really is by his destruction of twitter and his trump like tweets that spew the same kind of right wing bullshit…and the sales of teslas are dropping like a rock as is it’s stock price that has dropped by 75% over the past year…so I wonder why the tesla board hasn’t done anything about musk since it appears he is intentionally trying to tank the stock for some reason? I know he hated twitter and the content moderation that kept the worst of the worst right wingers off the site but he is now running up against EU and UK regulations that require moderation and it is going to cost him millions after he just fired everyone at the company that did that task…and facebook just got a 230 million dollar fine in the UK for not doing enough to keep banned content off the site…so what the hell is his endgame? I know I used to like musk for the innovations of spacex but I’m done with him…I’m off twitter now and refuse to watch the spacex launches until he is gone…I really do hope he goes broke…so any of my readers who use twitter, please go over and try Mastodon…I find it relaxing and there are no ads….or Nazis…geez…
Signed up for Mastodon today…
Well…as you all probably know, Elon Musk bought twitter and is doing his best to destroy it by letting racist right wing bullshit to flood the site…and firing almost everyone who worked there…including all of the content moderators who made sure there wasn’t the fascist crap that dominates some sites out there…so lots of the people I follow have been searching for a new social media site that won’t allow the right wing bullshit to pollute it…and lots of them have migrated to Mastodon so I signed up for an account earlier today and that’s why I’m late getting to this one today…damn, the last thing I wanted to do was to learn how to run a new platform but the deterioration that I saw in twitter left me no choice…and with ole elon today blocking anyone who disagrees with him…and that means any one on the left who criticizes his repub cronies…so I guess I’ll dig deep and learn a new site…maybe it will give me something to do…who knows? At the very least, I don’t want to support anything elon anymore…we don’t need more billionaire assholes ruining this country…
Poor Elon…
Well…I really don’t know why the cult has grown up around ole elon…I mean how hard is it to get rich when you start out with over 400 million dollars from daddy’s emerald mine where he made his money paying slave wages in the apartheid South Africa? And now, it looks like his not too brilliant move of buying twitter is going south in a hurry…especially when it looks like he paid about ten times what the company is worth and twitter has never made a profit…so how smart is it to take on 44 billion in debt when there is no profit to pay it back? Ole elon’s moves since he bought the company are head scratching at best…I mean firing half of the people who built it and are the ones who know how it runs and allowing the haters and trolls free reign so that hate speech, antisemitism, and maga bullshit has flooded it to the extent that most of the major advertisers have run for the hills…how does that make it more profitable? In a normal takeover, there are assets that the company taking over another can sell and strip all the money out of pension funds, etc. and then run away with everything that is worth anything…but what is there in twitter that is worth anything? No buildings, no factories, no stores, no inventory…the only thing that has any value is the goodwill of the users that is rapidly being killed as elon shows everyone he is just another petty little maga asshole and most thinking people don’t want to have anything to do with him….I really don’t think he’s playing 11 dimension chess on this one….just another rich guy thinking he knows more than anyone else….geez…
