Elon deserves his own thread
Seems Elon he has had a little win with X
"Value of Elon Musk’s X ‘rebounds to $44bn purchase price’"
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/mar/19/value-elon-musk-x-reb...
Kind of strange as only last year they were reporting it to be worth only 10 billion?.
So if he overpaid for it in the first place, does that mean he has increased it's value?
In other twitter news, turns out Ewrong didn't kick the Dropkick Murphys off.
"We broke up with him first. We quit Twitter in 2022 when he was only half a Nazi. Someone else, unaffiliated with the band, later took band's X handle and pretended to be "our official account," Casey said.
"So we filed a legal complaint to put a stop to that—which is why @dropkickmurphys shows as suspended," Casey said. "Look, we pulled our account because we didn’t want to be part of that guy’s empire. But if we were still on there, I’m sure he would have suspended us by now.”
As much as I was into the idea of Elon having a shit fit and booting, or dropkicking if you will, the band off twatter, I'm also good with this revelation.
However, he of the laminated face*, has suspended a bunch of accounts, including impersonators he doesn't like, journalists he doesn't like, and, get this, anti-fascist accounts he doesn't like. No surprises there.
*with apologies to Bill Burr

Elon, March 2025: “Tesla is a peaceful company. We’ve never done anything harmful. I’ve never done anything harmful. I’ve only done productive things. So I think we just have a deranged — there’s some kind of mental illness thing going on here, because this doesn’t make any sense.”
He really doesn’t look well when he says this stuff.
I cant imagine the stress he would be under, just all the businesses and project's he has going and then all the other shit and countless X post a day (so they say) not to mention the real threat to his life by nutters.
I feel for him, but i have to agree he has also brought a lot of it on himself, he should be my controlled and less opinionated and just more tactful socially.
I think Musk is a great example of someone that can be extremely smart in one way, but then just kind of stupid in another.

I think it’s a bit late for Musk to be more controlled and less opinionated,
People worldwide know what he is about
axing aid to the worlds starving and diseased
Indiscriminately and demonising tens of thousands of Federal workers,
Aligning with Nazis
And then he can’t understand why people don’t want him and his chainsaw around,
that’s why people worldwide are killing Tesla !
Tesla’s slide continues
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/20/howard-lutnick-tesla-tru...
Can Musk be voted out as CEO by the board or investors ? His cars may well be on the nose but a lot has been invested in the robot side of tesla which may save the company. I personally don’t want to see this robot world succeed, I think it’s madness. Maybe I’ve watched too many movies, but then again fiction has a habit of becoming reality.

It’s really the only power people have …boycotts can have a huge impact on.
I have zero sympathy for Musk. The guy is an uncaring selfish self absorbed fuckwit. He deserves everything he gets. Crash and burn baby!
I read somewhere that the loans Musk took out to buy Twitter were guaranteed by his Tesla stock, so if that keeps crashing he might be in trouble !

Don’t worry Musks predictions have been notoriously inaccurate,
First predicting driverless cars across the US back in 2017 ,
And people on Mars by 2025 , to great applause,
The deception goes on .
He has definitely been over optimistic on driverless cars, but that's why he achieves so much he is an optimistic person who quite literally shoots for the star's
In regard to mars.
"he had predicted that an uncrewed landing on the red planet could happen as soon as 2026, with humans there before 2030."
But yeah most scientist in the field dont think those timelines are realistic especially a mars mission next year.
BTW. Remind me again what you have done in life?

They’ve always been on par with elon.

Well actually there is an interview in the video saying people on Mars by 2025 ,
But if you didn’t see it it obviously didn’t happen.
In my life I haven’t indiscriminately sacked federal workers causing plane crashes , and the destruction of many people’s lives for greed and power
I haven’t decided to take food and medical care away from millions of starving babies or stop medicine going to Ebola and aids victims.
I haven’t been dumb enough to think that my target buyers for environmentaly friendly vehicles would be Nazis and white supremacy groups,
And I haven’t been dumb enough to ignore all these things , and maintain my Rogan , Musk
Fan boy cheering.
Hail robot.

Musk says a million people on mars in 20 years.
dead or alive? he might mean blood and bone for his personal martian orangery and lettuce dome.

Mate you are insane, all you do is spill hate day in day out, even at crazy hours of the morning, changing profiles every few weeks/months and then trying to deny you are the same guy.
I know what Elon has achieved in life its a shitload more than any of us here, i mean fuck only this week he rescued some NASA astronaut's stuck up in the space station.
So let's turn the spot light on you.
What have you achieved in life?
Please tell us?
Is it true you are just a shitty taxi driver?
You moved around a lot which is cool, but do you even own a house?
(hard to imagine with such short stays at each location)
Okay i get everything is not about money, so have you sailed around the world solo or some shit?
Heres a challenge for you, how about for just one day maybe give us some positive post instead of the endless hate and hyberbole and FFS drop the Nazi bullshit, it's pathetic.
"bUt Do yOu eVeN oWn a hOuSe?"
Van Gough died a pauper, so pull your head out of capitalism's arse.
Also, what's wrong with being a taxi driver? Someone's gotta do it, and you'd complain if there weren't any. Plus, compared to what you have to do to become a billionaire, it's pretty honest work, unless you're driving someone the wrong way on purpose.
Also also, what's it to you if someone posts at 3am or whatever? The internet doesn't close for the night, and people can keep whatever hours they want, ya goddamn gobshite time fascist, ya.
Also also also, what Elon has achieved FINANCIALLY in life its a shitload more than any of us here, but as far as being a good person goes, well that cunt is not exactly a high flyer now, is he.

Hey highly triggered Fox , Rogan
Musk, hysterical fan girl,
Yeah I have picked up enough passengers in a taxi, to know that some people just aren’t as normal as everybody else.
And can see you have been influenced so much by their bullshit , that you constantly have to twist out of reality, and convince yourself again.
They’re right MAGA is a cult and you’re a hopelessly brainwashed member.
You have sent others into despair with your brick wall mindset, but i have met enough people not to take it personally from a fanatical weirdo like you.

“I know what Elon has achieved in life its a shitload more than any of us here” Wrong.
You don’t really get it do you, Indo.
Musk has destroyed his image..any positive brand image he has left is getting smaller daily.
It’s great TV to watch him cry and play victim.
Okay Roadkill back up your statement then.
The reality is in time guys like you will be dead and buried remembered by very few for pretty much nothing, leaving no mark on the development of the world or mankind, people like Elon will be remembered and cemented in history alongs side other greats for their achievements in life.
Even if dont acknowledge his achievements in areas such rocket development etc , a few years back you still would have agreed with this, understanding how he has helped fast tracked the development of EV's, you know the things that years ago you guys said we all need to drive to save the world, but suddenly have turned to trying to destroy the second biggest EV company in the world.
But then his politics changed and bang like some brain dead zombie's your implant chip was switched.
Elon bad, saving the tax payers money finding corruption and misspending need to destroy Telsa's
Saving the taxpayers money with his multibillion dollar government contracts that won't even get a mention by DOGE ,You really are stuck in delusional MAGAland
@indough
Like Hitler or Jack the ripper, Trump and Elon might be remembered for all the wrong reasons.
Whether it’s wet dreaming over the achievements of elon or those of the most moral army in the world …..one constant remains
…..stay hard.
old-dog wrote:Like Hitler or Jack the ripper, Trump and Elon might be remembered for all the wrong reasons.
And their fanboys.
It all comes down to what you call achievement. For some a legacy is based off business success and for others having a successful and loving family unit where every loves and respects each other is the greatest achievement. A teacher that has mentored kids that have gone on to contribute to society might be the ultimate achievement. I do love your shitty taxi driver put down. The small guy doing a shitty job to make ends meet is nothing to you?..says everything that you are as a person.
Just being the richest person that no one really likes doesn’t impress me..you I have no doubt would fall at his feet in a display of utter submission and admiration.

I do feel for him, poor dear. Maybe he should fuck off.
He seemed to think he was doing good things at one point..
But the problem with a polarised political world is dweebs like elon can get all huffed up on feeling like he's in with cool kids like yourself @indo, while the other half of the world thinks he is an arrogant egomaniac. That realisation seems to make elon sad.. that all the kids don't think he's cool.
It's a mugs game chasing fame, for that reason, unless you're a sociopath like trump, and literally don't care about others. I hope for elon's sake, his tears are all a game, and he is a sociopath too. Otherwise he'll eventually implode. From my point of view I couldn't care less about the twitter tesla mars guy. You see, I'm Australian, and I know that those people on the telly that everyone talks about are wankers.
It's nice you like him @indo.
@basesix well said
If Musk is so intelligent, how come he can’t understand why most people despise him and want to ruin him ?
Sometimes, it’s the little details that round out the character of a person. Elon Musk has 14 children but he chose to spend last Thanksgiving with Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
wally wrote:Sometimes, it’s the little details that round out the character of a person. Elon Musk has 14 children but he chose to spend last Thanksgiving with Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
Yeah success story!
Think @Iindo should go and read @adam post again....
Dunning Kruger etc etc
End of the day all your hate is just brain dead, i dont even think you know why you hate Elon, it make's no sense at all
The only reason you hate him is because he is Now on the opposite side of politics, if he was supporting the dems and doing DOGE for them he would be held on a pedestal.
And RK that was a predictable lame reply something that anyone can hide behind, we are talking real life measurable achievement's.
As for Old Dogs ridiculous comparisons to Hitler and Jack the Ripper, they are remembered for the worst crimes in history without those events they would not even be remembered unlike Elon that again will be remembered for advatacemrent of EV's and development of Rockets etc.
Yeah Trump is controversial and polarising but even without being President of the USA twice he would be remembered as a business man, but okay i get the hate for Trump, but the hate for Elon is just insane and beyond logic, worst still is those on the left trying to destroy an EV company, its like just completely brain dead.
The irony is the main winners for any loss of the EV market for Tesla is the Chinese EV companies and the losers the USA people.
But yeah some just thrive on hate for some reason, it's bizzare, anyway nice sunny Sunday, I better go do some shit with the kids, i think the beach and some beach combing is calling.

Adam's post OMFG that was the most unhinged thing ive ever read on swellnet and that's saying something after Herc's rants, he went from over the top abuse to weird peace offers, to just these long babbling nonsense stories, and of course, the typical name drops and weird connection claim, like really if anyone cares.
Honesty if anyone is his mate, reach out to him he obviously isnt in a good place and mental health is a serious thing, hence why i just let it go and didn't push back. (plus his attack was so random, last time i was in a debate with him was weeks ago, so its not like im fired up over anything with him)
indo-dreaming wrote:anyway nice sunny Sunday, I better go do some shit with the kids, i think the beach and some beach combing is calling.
make the most of early morning beach with the kids @indo, these years fly by. One parent to another, get out with them early, sunrise even if you can, before winter hits. When they become teens you have buckleys of sharing that kinda thing regularly with them. then they gone.
@ Indo
Are you happy that your kids have food to eat,
and bulk billing and the PBS ?
They’re the first thing your ideal leaders would
take away if they could.
But don’t think about it too much.
@ basesix good point
I find music and surfing keeps me in regular contact with some of my kids.
It doesn’t pay to be too genre specific.
how old are they @jef?
I've just been finding points of enjoyment/connection to a young feller who ain't the sort of thing I generally listen to called Alec Benjamin. My daughter is enamoured with his song writing, lyrics and that 'his songs all sound different'. He's quirky, kinda a modern version of ed sheeran (my daughter scoffs at this view), with poppy drum sequencers and the voice of a 13 year old. seems to write songs that genuinely come out of him rather than forced songwriting. that's all I ask for in music really. We call those artists 'oozers' (like say, a john lennon, who would have made art no matter what) and the other sort 'pullers' (like say, Paul McCartney who crafted songs and became a master manufacturer of music).
@ basesix
Cool just driving off for a surf now with the late riser half keen 15 y o
indo's vision of how he expects Elon will be remembered makes me wonder if he believes that Rolf Hariss's legacy is being a wholesome Australian entertainer.

No hiding..just reality.
Funny that nearly everyone on SN gets it…you’re the exception.
I couldn’t care less that you are you.
No hate towards Elon.
Reckon the guy is very smart, but a dick. Not a very happy person.
At least Zuckerberg seems to enjoy his wealth hanging out with kai Lenny etc.
Indo for a self proclaimed conservative, you seem to be supporting the very opposite when Trump is attacking all the institutions that are the pillars of a liberal democracy.
And as far as worst crimes in history.
For the 21st century,....
One is being played out right now in real time being telcasted daily.
It's just being ignored and misreported by most of the western media.

It’s funny how Indo immediately thinks hate is the main emotion most on SN have towards Musk. I would think hate doesn’t really come into it.
He is as described above. Just a dick that is so self absorbed he is unable to offer basic human traits like empathy, understanding, compassion…the same traits Indo is unable to offer or understand.
