> "financial terrorist" As a thought experiment, I like to wonder what would be the maximal amount of damage to humanity an extremely wealthy person could do entirely legally. Or if not damage, just trolling. For instance, writing X on the moon or something like that.
> entirely legally. Hypothetically, would it be legal to fund a president whose policy was "let's nuke everyone"?

How do you mean? There were major loans to buy Twitter, but AFAIK Musk brought on a bunch of other people so that's not entirely on him. Other than that what is he extended into?
His companies are supporting each other in weird ways like xAi intercepting Tesla's GPUs, xAi being separate from X which is where it's used, Boring building one of its few tunnels in a Tesla factory for ???, the employees from one working at another, etc. there's probably a lot of shenanigans going on to make each company look OK at the right times. The one that has to be somewhat transparent is looking pretty shaky

I wonder that as well. I'm pretty sure there's manual manipulation involved sometimes.

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.
He founded (for some definition) the two most impressive American corporations of the century and tweeted a lot to build a direct connection to people.
I’d give him SpaceX, but it definitely did better when he was paying less attention to it.

Don't you think that the brand is huge though? It has become a household name and it's synonymous with artificial intelligence. They're also supposed to get grotesque amount of investments which is supposedly more than twice the value of what Musk offered(They have %40 stake in the project Stargate, which is supposedly $500B thing).
You talk numbers, so let me ask you a numbers question: at their current valuation, if the brand is 60% of the value that’s top 5 estimated brand value. Is OpenAI really one of the five most valuable brands in the world?

was looking for a musk margin call in 2023, no such luck, now he’s VP and markets are still fake
My hope is that he'll eventually make some big mistakes that will send him to jail. Or does presidential grace give him total immunity?
After which, he will look very tired, and suddenly stop being "turbulent", as per the meaning several judges have recently noted in Trump trials was once infamously said by a king of a priest.
Then I will be sad, because I would have liked to have gone to Mars.

What’s impressive about Tesla? It’s already being outcompeted by companies in China, losing market share, and the other manufacturers are catching up. Besides that, he’s pissed off the demographics most likely to buy Teslas. It’s not like most Trump voters are buying EVs
> What’s impressive about Tesla? The fact that it's worth more than all the other automakers combined. > the other manufacturers are catching up Re-read what you wrote, and consider how preposterous it is that automakers founded more than a century ago are now "catching up" to a company that sold its first car in 2008.

Will OpenAI be brought down? Maybe. But they do have the lead, and are running like they mean to keep it. The future is not yet written.
