ex-President Trump

I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?

So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at low-info Boomers like my religions aunts. I have two questions:

a) Is anyone here who supports Trump bothered by lies like this?

b) Does anyone know what he's even talking about here? Like is there some grain of truth that he's embellishing on bigly?

Anyone?

He didn't have it on for his speech here.

You could watch it and freeze frame any good shots of the ear.

Name a few "cooler" billionaires.

Is this a trick question? Isn't the answer "all of them"?

Taylor Swift

Lebron James

Jay Z

Lebron is a huge loser. Very good at basketball but he's so cringe. But probably still cooler than Elon I guess.

I think I'll leave that sort of complex detective work in the expert hands of Playbig and the other ear specialists.

I think Fiddy might be there or close. Guess he got rich.

You do seem to have some sort of idol worshipping thing going on there bud. I suppose Elon is cooler than Sklansky, so that's progress.

TY for noticing. My love, and desire to post about Elon has increased.

el0n manages to make zuck look cool.

I'd probably pick "all of them except Trump" -- assuming Trump still is a billionaire -- but that's putting a mighty fine point on things.

Mods: i may still make one in the next xouple days because there is some diacussion on it that i would like to have.


They say it doesn’t exist or it’s nothing special .
But since like half of them can’t comprehend a simple text ….

Why?

I find the opposite is the case for me. Loved what he was doing with Tesla, but the more I learn about him and the more he says, the more unlikable he becomes.

I'm not oblivious to the other side of the coin. It may be easy to find him loathsome and annoying.

He seems to be devoted to good causes, and risking his Paypal fortune to develop sustainable energy and space travel was as crazy as it is cool. I find his story to be inspiring - his upbringing was very rough and he has persevered through difficult times. He strikes me as honest, even when he is wrong, and more human than most ultra rich people who generally have faultless exteriors. Being quirky and autistic makes him personally relatable as well.

Elon is an elite-level grifter.

Elon is an elite-level grifter.

This. I've said previously ITT that he is the finest conman history has ever seen, and I say that with jealousy and admiration.


There was a point in time at which Elon was a fairly standard tech billionaire (if such a thing exists). He has some genuine ability/knowledge in his fields but I get the impression that at some point he started believing fully in his own hype and that resulted in him way overestimating himself to the point he basically believed he could do no wrong. That spiraled into where he's ended up today, an obnoxious blowhard who is an absurdly hypocritcial "free speech advocate" on twitter and hasn't done anything impressive in business for years.

I don't disagree that he is now basically grifting off his name but he at least has done some innovative things in the past. He's not even close to being on the same level as Trump when it comes to having an entire career built on a combination of other people's success and being a conman.

and hasn't done anything impressive in business for years.

Watching the spacex launches is awesome.


The problem is he has far too much money (to put it very mildly). And belief and willigness to use his power

He is very dangerous.

Tuma. No. To all of this.

True, particularly when they blow up spectacularly, but it's not exactly new. Spacex was founded 22 years and and has been launching rockets for more than 15 years (and the fun rocket launching stuff is mostly still a money sink, it's only really the spacelink part of the company that is generating revenue). I'll give you that it is something Elon is involved with that is actually growing at the moment though, which does set it apart from Tesla and Twitter, both of which he's been doing an impressive job of tanking.
