          That much overvaluation isn’t comical, it’s scary. That bubble bursting is going to mess up some retirement funds.

                  The majority of people with 401ks don’t actively manage them, it’s usually generic broad based index funds or similar, which at this point almost assuredly includes Tesla

            What the functional profitable technology giant that is often the worlds most profitable enterprise building future systems year after year after year?

            Probably overvalued, but not comically. This dipshit fired the entire infrastructure charging group last year because he was out of adderall for twenty minutes. There is no comparison.

      There are few times when you can justifiably go after a person because of something a relation did. As much as I hate Elon, he’s not culpable for whatever his brother has or hasn’t done, unless he participated somehow.

      Let’s not stoop.

        Elon is a known horndog and sex pest. I think it’s less “he’s responsible” and more “he’s just as mixed up in the Lolita Express gang as any of these assholes”.

        Incidentally, Gislaine Maxwell was at Chelsea Clinton’s wedding. I don’t think that means Chelsea is a rapist. But I do think Bill is, and this kind of close relationship further illustrates the circle all these people ran in.

          Unless you know something I don’t, Monica was consenting the entire time.

          And don’t say “he used his position of power to force her”. She said in multiple interviews that she enjoyed it and felt excited. The only time she started to feel negative feelings is whdn Linda Tripp got involved and betrayed her.

          These are Monicas own words. It wasn’t rape.

              Oh, sure. No arguement from me there. I just hate it when people diminish what words mean.

              Unethical? Sure.

              It was also unethical when Jerry Seinfeld at age 37 dated a 17 year old during the height of Seinfeld.

              Also not rape. Nor illegal. Both of which I’ve heard various people claim.

              It also deletes words like “awful” and “predatory” from conversations. Despite being objectively true, I never hear people say those words about Clinton, or Seinfeld, or any of the other similar situations.

              And on a personal note, I don’t believe Micheal Jackson did anything wrong with kids. As in, I don’t think any events actually took place. Only three people were ever said to be victims. Two of them were later proven to be parents looking for a payday. And the third was Macully Culken. And he’s directly said over multiple decades, both as a kid, and later as an adult, that MJ never did anything wrong or inappropriate.

              So I think Micheal Jackson had to live his whole adult life being falsely accused of being a pedophile and a rapist when he never was.

                The children could have been molested and their parents were also looking for a payday. They could both be true. I have no idea, I’m just saying that one doesn’t cancel out the other.

          Sure, but that was about Elon’s brother. Surely if Elon was involved with Epstein there will be evidence; it’s not like he was shy about being photographed.

          This guilty by association stuff feels like an witch trial evidence, when there’s plenty of stuff to hang Elon with that he did himself.

          The thing is Bill does not seem to be a kiddie diddler. Aside from Monica Lewinsky and a Miss America contestant they tend to be later twenties to whatever his current age was. They affairs tended to be with women who were pretty and young whereas his alleged assault victims are all adults too.

                Nobody was talking about pedophilia before they brought it up.

                Epstein trafficked and abused plenty of older women, too.

    Everyone should remember that Elon doesn’t care about political parties. He could give a shit less about the right or the left. He’s in it for the money.

    He played the right, getting an idiot elected who would allow him to gut the agencies auditing his companies. Now when he’s done with them and his base is upset with him for selling out, he’s pivoting back and trying to appease them.

    It has always been about the money. Fuck Elon Musk.

      From the ones I know, they all at least pretend to care very deeply about kids being molested and trafficked. However, when faced with evidence that Trump was involved with Epstein and has been accused of sexual assault they insist it’s just coincidence and a witch hunt, and that it’s more important that Bill Gates and Stephen Hawking were in the flight logs.

      They care about kids until it’s politically inconvenient.

      Yeah that’s true, they won’t care, but it’s a big part of their public persona to talk a LOT about caring extremely, irrationally, very much for trafficked children, particularly those that don’t exist.

      To suggest - even to think! - that trump might have done such a thing. *gasp* oh no. no no no.
