I’d never seen that quote before, but why the fuck he’s advocating mixing Ambien and wine is..telling. I mean I did plenty of coke and ecstacy in my college years, but I stopped in my early 20's.. Still abusing that shit in your 40's is kind of a worrisome trait, and especially not a good one for a CEO.

I’d take umbrage with you calling him a drug addict, but then I realized that he’s like a 40's something guy using ecstacy and acid and..Yeah, that’s fair.

..If you think Boeing is “competing” with SpaceX, you’ve been huffing too much nitrogen.

I know, right? It’s super easy to be an “innovator” when you inherit millions you never earned to pay a bunch of smarter people to design shit for you, and then obnoxiously take credit for it.

Using net worth as an indicator of wealth is incredibly stupid. That 18 billion of Musk’s is counting company assets and property that absolutely does not go to him in the event of bankruptcy. Most of that money belong to investors and the government.

I’m rather surprised the board didn’t boot him after that whole fiasco with the SEC where he claimed he secured funding to take it private. Boards tend to be pretty hesitant to remove CEOs, due to the inherent cost of the severance and then having to hire a new one, but if anything was going to force their hand, I’d…

I’m pretty sure ‘ol Teddy would have beaten the shit out of Elon Musk for being a sissy.

Yeah, except Amazon’s deficit spending was to build the mass infrastructure necessary to generate said profits. What has Musk produced?

You’re not wrong there, the days of pissing money away left and right have long since passed - if even the pharmaceutical companies aren’t offering expense accounts to upper level executives as often, you know the times have changed.

This was a well written and thought out criticism...To be honest though, if Musk had any brains to go along with all the money he seems to toss around with reckless abandon, he’d just spend it on R&D to improve existing subway systems, not trying to recreate it as a whole. Think about the ongoing revenue that would…

Found the one guy besides Denton that’s still pissed off about the whole Hogan Leg Drop thing.

Got ‘em!

Musk literally did none of those things you mentioned. He just happened to have a couple million dollars that allowed him to procure bank loans for his business, then he paid a large number of people far more intelligent and qualified than him to do it. That’s not an achievement.

I know Thiel is public enemy number one around here due to facilitating the ultimate Hogan Leg Drop, but say what you will about the guy, he’s an incredibly well read and successful businessman.

...Tesla lost 700 million last year. Not only is that definitively NOT success, it’s more akin to abject failure.

Wait, how does a 10 year old get pregnant? I know puberty was starting earlier but that seems..Abnormal.

The funny thing is I’m a registered Republican, but even I’m pro-choice. It’s called being a rational human being, and you really can’t “murder” a bundle of non-sentient cells. The moment someone can prove they have memory of being in the womb, I might change my opinion.

Future of renewable energy? Dude, the fucking thing went bankrupt a year after Obama pumped them full of cash.

So a political favor for funding was okay, until they got outplayed? Jesus Christ man, try harder.

Which I can say from experience is false, in our frat house in college people tended to be pretty fastidious about their rooms..The rest of the house was a fucking mess, of course, but people treated their rooms like their own haven. Say what you will about Greek Life and those that take part in it, but we had very…
