What has he got to worry about, even if his stocks plunged to 0 he would still have a better retirement then the rest of us. Capitalism is a sickness even the capitalist are turned mentally ill by the system.

Maybe he should kill himself.

[–] stembolts@programming.dev 52 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

Say what you want about Hitler, but he killed Hitler.

Ketamine wearing off. time for another hit

[–] Bieren@lemmy.world 31 points 7 hours ago

Of course he is. His stocks are extremely overvalued and he has leveraged them to hell and back.

I wonder how many people will have to die for Elon's self driving taxi Hubris in Austin for Texas to pull authorization. As I understand it, the Texas state government hates the City and Its residents. I expect it to be atleast a 9/11s worth.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Maybe he'll hit that threshold, and his kids he never sees will get a ton of money. Wouldn't that be something

[–] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 20 points 7 hours ago

Good. He's actively making the world a worse place for everyone else. He should feel bad.

..it brings on many changes...

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 41 points 9 hours ago (4 children)

There's not really any news in that article.

Notably, Musk said he would be stepping back from DOGE after May but didn’t go into any detail about what that would mean. Even though he said he would be easing up on his involvement, the billionaire said that he would remain in the government through President Trump’s entire term,

This is meaningless.

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 15 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

And do you know how to know it is meaningless... it starts with "musk said". Everything after that is worthless.

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

Even the word "notably" before that is useless. Notably something un-notable occurred. Great, thanks.

[–] randon31415@lemmy.world 18 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

stepping back from DOGE after May

Appointed temporary government employee which means he only could work until June without congressional approval. Set this up from the start to take heat off of Trump and allow Trump to seem reasonable compared to Musk when Trump 'fires' him in June.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 8 hours ago

I'm aware of that, but obviously the concept of "work" doesn't apply to Musk as it does to government employees generally.

He will have the same influence and whatever level of involvement he wants regardless of whether he's a temporary government employee, a consultant, or just a contact.

Oscar, big cigar, Elon Musk can't sell a car.

[–] AnitaAmandaHuginskis@lemmy.world 36 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Well, that really is uplifting news. For me that is, not for that fuckhead.

[–] uis@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago

Finally! Someone talks about profits instead of stock price!

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 175 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

"Oh no! The consequences of my actions!"

Nah fuck this guy. We need to make Nazis unforgivable again. None of this halfway bullshit or trying to see their side of the story.

[–] superkret@feddit.org 34 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

He will never feel any external consequences.
Best we can hope for is a bout of depression that'll make him do something we all won't regret.

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 29 points 11 hours ago

I want him to lose it so badly that he starts blaming this administration for everything that happened to him and starts going off against them. That'd be hilarious.

[–] Axle182@lemmy.world 48 points 11 hours ago

It's a start but we can do better, guys

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 13 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

He’s leaving Trumps team to spend more time at Tesla. The one thing that would benefit Tesla is him spending less time there.

[–] lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 hours ago

The board should have replaced him a long time ago

[–] vvilld@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 hours ago

Good for him!

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 44 points 11 hours ago (5 children)

Oh no, please don't hang yourself Mr Elmo, that would be such a waste of good rope.

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Not if we reuse it.
