Iâm trying to imagine J. P. Morgan or Henry Clay Frick playing Fortnite as Batman.
My favorite comment:
Absolutely legendary "taxtherich69â eliminating some guy who is definitely not Elon Muskâs sad alt persona.
I saw also that a streamer called taxtherich69 killed his avatar, did a little dance, and curtseyed.
He must be spending a lot of time tending to the shareholders interests. 
This reminds me of a guy on my tv who wrote about Trump a few years back. He thought Trump was amazingly sharp. He went out to a construction site, looked up at a balcony several stories up and told the workers- âthatâs crooked; take it down and replace it!â
The guy said that he couldnât see it was crooked; but thatâs how sharp Trump was! I said to myself- heâs just putting on a show for you dolt. And he does shit like that to show the workers whoâs boss.
I imagine that a lot of what Musk does as a CEO is the same performative bullshit.
Your article doesnât go into detail on what type of explosives the man was using in making his home made pipe bombs, but the fact that he lost 3 fingers making one (rather than blowing up his house) sure suggests to me that he wasnât using high-grade industrial explosives. Yeah, he apparently made a large number of them but that doesnât mean he could have taken out a Federal Building or hotel.
Our current regulation of explosives in the U.S. doesnât prevent any idiot from packing fireworks into a piece of pipe or a pressure cooker and possibly killing a few people with it. What I meant was that regulation of explosives (and industrial fertilizers that can be made into explosives) clearly has made it much, much harder for people to obtain the high-grade stuff that can be used to blow up buildings. Thatâs something that used to happen when random folks could buy dynamite at the hardware store, and pretty much doesnât anymore.
Itâs almost funny how pathetic of a person he is. Heâs got so much money he could measurably improve the lives of every person in the US while still having billions of dollars. Yet, he chooses to squander his wealth on useless endeavors and spends his free time trying to inflate his ego. What a sad little man.
Slight quibble: everything that he does is about inflating his ego. Bar none. He is an overgrown toddler.
âFundamentally wrongâ: Self-driving Tesla steers Calif. tech founder onto train tracks

Well yes, when it happens to a peon, thatâs just collateral damage along the march toward a luxury automated utopia. But when it happens to a Calif. tech founder, why thatâs when itâs time to sit up and pay attention!
Elno is certainly spending a lot of time working on Twitter. By which I mean shit-posting on Twitter. His other companies have elaborate structures in place to keep him from doing anything significant to damage operations there. But I still read story after story of Elno needing to âtake controlâ of some minor situation, where he thinks he knows better than the designers and engineers. E.g. a story that made it into his biography, because somehow Elno thought it made him look good, where he insisted that a broken rocket part could be glued back together, when the engineers insisted it wouldnât work. So Elno had the part shipped from Texas to California, where he skipped a fancy event so he could stay up all night gluing the part back together and ruining his fancy clothes so he could show them he was right. Except, of course, he was wrong and it didnât work. Or when he didnât like how a particular part looked on a Tesla, so he redesigned it. Only the changes caused it to fail under certain weather conditions.
Itâs clear that Musk aspires to be a James Bond villain (right down to buying one of the cars from the movies) and tries to present himself as Tony Stark, but it occurs to me that he actually thinks heâs Steve Jobs. He heard those stories about Steve Jobs being unhappy with some UI element and guiding a redesign, and he thinks he needs/can do the same thing with his companies, but Musk is just so totally out of his depth in doing, well, anything.
The Trump story reminds me of one I read about when his casino was being built. Trump came in, looked at the ceilings and demanded they be higher. People explained to him that this was impossible, and why that was. A month or two later, Trump is back and makes exactly the same demand. The line between performative CEO bullshit and simple idiocy is really thinâŚ
Heâs basically an incel who accidentally got so rich people mistakenly thought he was interesting and attractive.
âI love my autopilot⌠it almost killed me.â
Whoo boy.
Too much negativity is now a concern, I wonder why.
And Mr. Free Speech isnât free speech after all.
I would like to point out that I am driven to and from work everyday in an electric vehicle. Sometimes I even doze off because I do not have to control it.
I am, of course, referring to public transportation.
Indeed. I appreciate that Elno is seeking more positivity with comments like (checks notes)âŚ
Strange to think those two comments are about 24 hours apart. tf is going on in that teeny brain of his?

Please donât answer that.
