Remember when the richest man in the world actually ran a business that provided value to society? Neither do I.

Electric vehicles are plentiful now with a myriad of competitors. Volkswagen, BMW and Audi were the top selling automakers in the UK and all three of them make EVs of their own now.

Remember when the (((allegedly) richest man in the world actually sold a product that people bought?
I do.
Where the fact is Musk getting all his money from if everything he touches is a failure?
Hint: It's your taxpayer money

Now muskrat is trying to gaslight his stockholders that robotaxi will be the next money printing machine. "All that factories that mass produce vehicles nobody wants to buy anymore because anti-EV politicians are in power in US, Europeans hate me because my ex bullied them and I did some nazi salutes, and Chinese don't care anymore coz their domestic EVs are much cheaper? We'll have them produce robotaxis and each one will make so much money we'll be swimming in money trust me bro"
Judging by the stock price it seems to work for now...

When industry makes the government pave over your land and spread out the population just so they can sell overpriced tin cans that you waste your life driving around in. AND THEY STILL CAN'T SELL ANY. Then communism doesn't look so crazy in comparison.

>>106214683 (OP)
at least the robber barons left railroads people could use.
what are these retards going to leave? business practices for how to export production to china/mexico/vietnam.

>pave over your land
>spread out the population
that's literally communism though
supply and demand, no matter how retarded doesn't look so crazy in comparison

I guarantee you would have been just as assmad about J D Rockefeller or Andrew Carnegie back in the day.
elon musk is rich because he revolutionized the electronic payment processor, electric car, orbital launch, and satellite internet industries.

>>106214851
>at least the robber barons left railroads people could use.
privately owned railroads that were consequently stolen from them and given out to jewish companies

>>106214884
And also regulated so much that the railroad workers can't go on strike for better employment terms.

>>106214884
had USRA been kept around everything would be better. returning "ownership" was a mistake

>>106214912
well obviously, (((highly))) profitable sectors have to stay that way

One of the greatest things about investment these days is that it’s all about creating bubbles and being the one that runs away from it while leaving the rest holding the bag. Back in the days and in theory you should invest into company that will grow and make profit, giving you dividends. Now you buy a share, wait for the share to increase in value and then sell it for profit. This is why bitcoin and other cryptos are so heavily invested into. Just invest into places where everyone invests, and then rob the other investors. This is the entire economy now.

>>106214683 (OP)
If you think musk is the richest man in the world you're vaccinated and believe in carbon.

>>106214856
possibly a gap in the market for BYD or someone else without the UK PR of dogshite upon your hearthrug to step into?

>>106214872
No he didn't and even if he did that all together wouldn't be worth more than a billion. He's a African scammer selling futurism to gullible boomers.

>>106214779
>>actually ran a business that provided value to society

>>106215085
hey how come it's been almost 10 years and still nobody else has done this?
how come he owns over half of all satellites?
>all together wouldn't be worth more than a billion
not for you to decide

The military was doing that for cheaper in the 80s. WTF are you talking about?

>>106215159
>how come he owns over half of all satellites?
He doesn't, not even Space X does, they belong to US governmental agencies like NASA or DoD
Thing is, they don't have enough budget to carry on with most of their operations, so they issue public contracts that are funded directly by the USDT and are only fulfillable by Space X

>>106215198
What do you have if your narrative collapses? literally nothing. That's the definition of fraud. Thus you will never admit the truth.
>First landing of an orbital-class rocket's first stage on land.
Notice the qualifier "orbital-class" to denigrate the previous work of automated rocket landing systems that they literally just copy and pasted over.

>>106215159
It's kind of based when you realize that tesla doesn't exist to make money, it solely exist to fund spacex. Elon took out loans against all his tesla stock, then the banks to out short positions to hedge against the stock falling. Neither of them give a single fuck what happens to tesla or electric cars. Now the elon dickriding baggies are going to have to mortgage their houses to stay afloat, while he moves on to using AI hype to put rockets in the air.

>>106215198
>>106215159
Elon Musk had nothing to do with the founding, hiring or work culture of
paypal
spacex
tesla

why do people come here to cry about elon

>>106215287
>Notice the qualifier "orbital-class" to denigrate the previous work of [pieces of junk that were useless and got their projects canned]

that's so cool. I've landed rockets too, and for cheaper than spacex. don't see me pretending it's on the same level

>>106215377

Narrative, obliterated. Fraud uncovered. Have a nice day.

Vertical takeoff and landing rockets have been around for 60 years, starting with the Bell Rocket Belt and Apollo Lunar Lander.

lmao
if he wanted to provide value he would spend money to build rail networks and trains like in china.
he would also invest in cancer research or something, tesla is a worthless company

>By offering a seemingly revolutionary alternative, Musk may have aimed to create enough public and political doubt to slow down or even halt the progress of the CHSR project.

And he was paying CNN for this coverage and coverage on the TBM. That is a fact.

>>106215482
yeah he is a fucking subhuman acting agaisnt the interest of people, nothing new under the sun

Contribute to society?
Siphon taxpayer money and use it to prop up failing business and insane purchases?

>>106214946
that was always the stockmarket desu
no way to make money unless you are on the inside
bunch of insiders making money at the expense of gullible fools who thought they could "play the market"

Discalimer: I'm not talking about EFTs and such, that's where everyone parks their money so they will never fail.
But that's not "making money".

>no value to society
Elon Musk invented the zip file format and associated tooling and sold the company to compaq to focus on inventing paypal.

>>106214683 (OP)
remember when you didn't care about this even a little bit until the TV told you what to think?

>>106215582
Yup. Elon shouldn't have paid all those news agencies to cover him.

>>106215572
elon musk put the pk in pkzip

>Zip2 Corp.[2] was a company that provided and licensed online city guide software to newspapers.[

How the fuck do you grift 100M from that in the 90s.

RAT MUSK

Why exactly does the US taxpayer not own 95% of spacex?

>>106215606
Zip2 was basically Yellow Pages Online, and even as of today those companies generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue a year

>>106215721
compaq is out of business they generate exactly 0 dollars in revenue

>>106215721
