really? I'm curious to know what he's failed at. Seems like he's making all the right moves lately.
Indeed, it's hard to imagine how he could move any more to the right.

was looking for a musk margin call in 2023, no such luck, now he’s VP and markets are still fake
We'll see. After throwing out a few Nazi salutes, Tesla sales have been tanking in Europe.
September 2025: President Musk announces all new federal vehicles will be Teslas.

He spent $44 billion on his own personal propaganda machine, and then used even more money to purchase the US presidency

Whether he was serious about buying Twitter or not, he put himself in the position where he was legally required to complete the offer to purchase. Nobody forced him into that blunder.

#305Notably a steep discount from their recent raise at a 157B. The board would never approve.
Yes, seems like a PR stunt to discount OpenAI.
It's the opposite - it's a PR stunt to try to keep Sam Altman from discounting OpenAI even further and selling it to himself at a laughably low price.

I typically like Elon about 70% of the time, but I need to agree here. I don't quite understand how he suddenly got so much influence.

Twitters got more censorship than it ever had, and what's left is a cesspool of porn, conspiracy theories, elon ass lickers and spam.

wow I had no idea the level of discourse on that x website was so low, has it always been like this?
Yes and no. Yes the level of discourse was always that bad, but previously the people posting at that level were Internet randos, not the President of the United States and the executives of our most important businesses. I do wonder if these clowns appreciate the long-term consequences of shattering the mystique of business executives. It's all memey fun and games in the moment, but later on when you have to make th…

It's interesting to draw comparisons between Sam Altman and Liang Wenfeng, CEO of Deepseek, the latter of which is a domain expert, the former an exalted entrepreneur, supposedly gifted in allocating capital. If Sam has just been lucky with his one bet so far, there's bound to be some market corrections that are going to shake the world just like in the dotcom burst.

He is breaking the law, full stop. Sorry but you don't get to do that in a Republic without consequence. Process matters when it comes to regulation, because without it you get unchecked power and tyranny.

Sam gives off incredibly strong “pride cometh before the fall” energy.
Next: Trumps blasts OpenAI as "un-American" and DOJ opens an investigation into "improper x". Investors get nervous given Trump's unpredictability, share price drops. Elon et al get it for half price. Nice little scam. (Not that I would feel bad. Altman can crash and burn and the world would be better off.)
Ah, but that’s assuming that things can’t go from bad to worse, which is a potentially fatal mistake to make.
