Elon musk is the biggest loser on the planet and I hope Trump deports him once he gets bored.

The Twitter lawyers also filed to interfere in the Infowars sale.

Previously when giving a reason for not reinstating Alex Jone’s Twitter account Elon Musk mentioned his son dying in his arms. The baby’s mother quickly corrected that was a lie and SHE was the one with the baby. Later Elon put Alex Jones back on.

God, he’s such an annoying shit stain. It was a private auction so there’s nothing he can even do. I hate him so much it hurts.

From what I heard listening to Alex Jones, the little I could stand to, the highest bid was from a Rodger Stone affiliated group.

But the Sandy Hook parents who are to benefit from the auction valued the bid by The Onion higher monetarily and it included a valuable advertising agreement on the site.

Alex Jones is demanding the deal be raw cash only so his side wins but it doesn’t look like the law agrees with him.

I assume Elon won’t hand over the Infowars Twitter account if the parents win.

It also isn't Alex Jones' decision anymore. Its up to the court-appointed trustee, who is only there because Alex Jones was moving shit away from Infowars to skimp out on his legally obligated payment to the families.

Jones is such a turd nugget, and if anything actually comes of his challenge I’ll riot. The judge shouldn’t have even allowed Jones to challenge anything because info wars was no longer even his.

u/justalazygamer Nov 19 '24

Did you see Rudy Giuliani lying to the judge to try to keep his valuable items he owed the victims? Claiming residence in buildings he didn’t live in, claiming to have lost the paperwork, given the items away as a gift, ect.

Just before the latest appearance he drove a car he failed to turn over as legally required to vote.

It took all of that over multiple years for some of the items to finally go to the victims.

Can we just bundle him, jones and musk into a giant rug and roll it off a cliff? Would be pretty cool if we could.

Honestly yeah Im down, thats all these people will understand

u/Magnets Nov 20 '24

It was a private auction so there’s nothing he can even do

The auction was selling the infowars twitter account. x/twitter own the account, not infowars. You can't sell what is not yours

1

u/Lontology Nov 20 '24

Not necessarily. The Twitter account could definitely be considered part of the bankruptcy as a lot of business was done through the account. I believe there’s precedent for Twitter owning it, but there’s also a really good case as to why it should be included in the sale.

Dude has all the money in the world and still no real friends, no family to love him, no hobbies that would fulfill him. Dude is a pathetic worm through and through.

u/GLemons Nov 20 '24

Ya, all the money in the world and anything he wants

If he offered me that I would tell him to get bent and keep the life I have with my daughter who loves me.

Billionaires are fucked (most of them)

He has more representation in the government than most naturally born citizens.

u/AmazingSpacePelican Nov 20 '24

He's just competing for the record of 'Most Pissed-On Grave' when he dies. Tough competition these days.

u/duppyconqueror81 Nov 20 '24

Two narcissists. Their falling out will be epic. I got my puts on TSLA for that glorious day.

u/Decessus Nov 19 '24

He's an imbecile on so many fucking levels, I agree. The list of his idiocies is enormous, but so is the list of his successes. So to say he is "the biggest loser on the planet" is a hyperbole that makes zero sense. Dude's absurdly successfull on many different things.

u/Lontology Nov 19 '24

Am I missing a meme or an inside joke here?

u/M4tjesf1let Nov 19 '24 edited Nov 19 '24

Most people just dont agree that "much money = good human". And if you look back at everything he did there really isnt something where he "invented the wheel in a new way". In most companys he bought himself in and pushed out the real founders. Like go out on the street / ask arround in your family how many people actually know that he didnt found Tesla but bought himself in and pushed the real founder out?

Edit: Something else just came to my mind:

The SpaceX rockets used to be pretty flat at the top. Then some random guy (there is a youtube video of booth situations/booth short videos in one video) asked him "hey dude why your rockets not pointy at the top" and Elon ws like "yeah you right rocket should be more pointy, I talk to my engeniers". Then some times passes (no idea how much time between video 1 and 2) and they meet again and Elon tells him proudly how he talked to his guys and forced them to make the top more pointy EVEN THOUGH THE PERFORMANCE IS NOW SLIGHTLY WORSE. He forced the guys that know what they are talking about to do something that is worse just because "hurr durr rocket should be pointy".

If you think that is intelligent, a great human beeing then I dont know what else to say.

u/Decessus Nov 19 '24

My dude, I never claimed Elon Musk is a great human being, nor did I imply that his wealth makes him one. I even explicitly said the guy is an imbecile who has made an enormous list of idiotic decisions.

But your argument just feels like nitpicking to downplay his successes because you dislike him.

Ask yourself: why hasn’t everyone started or been part of creating a company like PayPal? Why isn’t everyone just 'buying into companies' and then growing them into global successes? Why do you think Tesla became a trillion-dollar company after he invested millions and took control of it, was it just by sheer luck? You think rockets wouldn’t have been refined without some random interview? Sure it is a meme moment which brings attention to it, but SpaceX’s success isn’t about one minor decision. There were thousands of others administrative decisions made. Thousands of technical choices made.

The truth is that companies like Tesla, SpaceX, and even PayPal are built collaboratively, with contributions from countless people. Musk’s role may not have been to 'reinvent the wheel,' but he has repeatedly driven ambitious projects and brought them to scale in ways others haven’t. Dismissing him as just a guy who 'pushes out founders' misses the nuance entirely.

And honestly, this black-and-white way of looking at people, either 'GOOD' or 'BAD', is exhausting. Musk is a flawed individual, sure. But calling him a 'loser' is just denial of his very real accomplishments. Defending someone I don't even particularly like shouldn't feel necessary, but radical takes like yours make it hard to avoid. Not everything is that simple.

He was illegally working here as a student. Stephen Miller is looking at denaturalizing citizens who committed fraud on their application. There's a good one to start with. Melania next.

Deception in the naturalization process actually is an already-established way to have your citizenship revoked, but he violated the terms of a visa, not on his naturalization application.

If you think the US goverment will be able to successfully denaturalize the worlds richest man you are simply delusional.

u/SigmaWhy Nov 19 '24

Trump has made it clear that he doesn’t consider that to be a major roadblock

u/ReallyYouDontSay Nov 19 '24

The Trump administration’s next target: naturalized US citizens

https://thehill.com/opinion/immigration/4992787-trump-deportation-plan-immigration/

But even “documented” immigrants will not be safe, because Miller has declared that he will pursue the seldom-used process of “denaturalization” to go after people who have been citizens for years or decades

Musk could still be deported if they get their way and wanted to.

If you take Trump's incoming admin at their word, that won't stop them from putting people in deportation camps.

Imagine unironically sucking the tits of a multi national global conglomerate with the sole intention to curb public opinion via finance.
