He collected data on all Americans from multiple government agencies, successfully killed multiple investigations into several of his companies, and secured additional government contracts for those companies. Is that what we're calling nothing these days?

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 38 points 1 week ago (3 children)

And Trump is now threatening to cancel those government contracts. So he's blown everything he's gained (and then some) from his little fling with Trump.

[–] pi3r8@lemmy.world 55 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That's what trump does. He threatens. Then in the majority of times he gets distracted or backs down. Those contracts aren't cancelled until they are cancelled.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 week ago

Yeah he's all TACO when doing things that'll break the economy. But killing SpaceX won't break the economy and he's looking for something he can do that'll make him appear strong. I wouldn't bet either way on this, they're both nutjobs.

Musk learned the hard way why other billionaires don't get directly involved in politics, and buy politicians instead. That way they get what they want, but let the politicians take the heat for pushing through the billionaires agendas.

The problem for Musk is that his ego wouldn't allow him to sit quietly on the sidelines calling the shots. He had to prove how smart he was, and how he was the only one who could fix the government. Now, he's pissed off almost everyone, has lost various large foreign contracts for his companies, drove sales of Tesla into the ground, and is watching Trump undo the "brilliant" governmental cost cutting that he did.

And, his ego still won't let it go, as now he's suggested he'll start his own political party. You just know the other billionaires are looking at him and going "What a dumbass!"

Even if he loses hundreds of billions of dollars he's still richer than like 99% of individual people worldwide will ever be.

I will save the schadenfreude for when he pays for the deaths of men, women, and children who were denied care from the USAID funds being cut.

I had to look it up. Pajeet is a racial slur in SE Asia, apparently.

Do I even want to know what a pajeet is?

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 63 points 1 week ago (4 children)

You probably don't.

I looked it up after not hearing the term before.

Tap for spoilerIt's a slur for South Asians. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pajeet

Sadly I assumed correctly

[–] BeNotAfraid@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (6 children)

It's actually a name. Pajeet is a genuine Hindu name. It's a pejorative, in the same way "Paddy" is both an Irish name and used as a slur for Irish people.

It's an Indian, from India. Not Native American.

Just say "retard" if you're gonna say it. Lazily censoring it seems worse, because implications.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Right? I'm tired of the euphemism treadmill telling me what I can and can't say. Especially if we are coming up with childish phrases like "unalived"

I used to call myself a until woke cispeople got on my case about it.

Ahh.. I guess it's better than the old internet where the N-Word was your fast pass to being seen as funny and cool?

Somehow nobody has mentioned the drugs? And obvious signs of mental illness? Obviously high functioning, but that does not make the decisions less nuts.

Has anybody seen the Johnny Harris video on musk? It was all fun and games until the drugs came out to play.

Generational wealth leads to people who are both extremely rich and extremely stupid.

And Elon Musk is the best example of that in the history of mankind.

Centrist Dems will take him back and anoint him as the leader of the Resistance in a New York minute, if doing so will keep AOC on the margins.

Well.... there is that bit where his companies now have all of the data they were able to loot from the Federal departments he ruined.

It's hilarious that 4D chess is now for dummies and we're on to 5D chess.

He got lucky

His luck ran out

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago

Unfortunately at the end of the day people like this will still be rich and not have to worry about the problems the rest of us do.
