100% - i do it every year without even thinking about it >

I have not been invited for 51 years straight, you don’t see me complaining. >

Plot twist: you're 54 and went all through your infancy. >

Until...the incident. >

We don’t talk about the incident. >

“Musk is invited everywhere.”
- Musk >

Because everyone loves people who talk about themselves in the turd person.
Edit: one too many letters. >

…in the turd person. >

Leave us out of this. We don't claim him. >

What?! A sentient turd?! TIL…
I don’t blame you for not wanting to associate yourselves with an inferior brand of excrement. >

I bet nothing roils him more than not being good enough for something (and everything). >

Daddy didn’t hug him enough growing up >

Given that his dad is sleeping with his sister, maybe better to not get hugged by him if you can avoid it. >

The one reasonable thing Errol Musk ever did was not defend Elon after some other kid hospitalized him for making fun of his father’s suicide. >

Wait.... What? >

Musk: "I didn't go because it is boring."
Davos: "You didn't go because you were not invited."
Twitter: Davos Account Banned for racism. >

They discriminated against an African American though
/s >

"..because it sound boring af lol."
He cant even pretend to act his age, let alone be a decent human being >

Hard to pretend to be a decent human being when you aren't. Musk is the worst of us. >


Musk is the worst of us.

He truly is. 
So when somebody says that they still like/admire Musk, it reveals what kind of shit bag they are. >

Exactly! 
Musk didn't invent anything. He stole and invested in all of the tech he's involved in. He's responsible for PayPal and I have a hard time with the idea that someone else wasn't responsible for it's being too >

He isn't even responsible for PayPal. He started X.com which got bought by Confinity. He was then shortly after fired and then Confinity rebranded as PayPal and got bought by Ebay. Nothing Musk did was used in PayPal. All his code from X.com was pure garbage and was scrapped as useless.
Musk likes to try to take credit for PayPal just like he tries to take credit for everything else he involves himself in while not actually doing anything and lying about what he did. Just like how he claims to have founded Tesla and had nothing to do with that either. >


He started X.com which got bought by Confinity.

X.com was not bought by Confinity, the two merged.
Confinity had the customer base with its Paypal platform, but was underfunded to develop it, X.com did not have the customer base, but was cash rich due to Musks own money (from  Zip2 sale) and investors (and also had a banking licence)
Don't think there was any "code from Musk" in X.com platform as he always says last time he coded was zip2...actually there was not much to the X.com "platform" anyway as it was an "online bank" that only existed independently for about 4 months
Looking at the details it would be kind of appropriate to say X.com bought into Confinity though >

Musk still had nothing to do with the founding of Paypal. He can claim what he wants but he is still lying. >

Him and Thiel are still tight to this day though (both lean heavily right), they both probably just let it slide as a quid pro quo. >

Well making a few hundred million together will heal most disputes >

Well to be fair its not the 'economic losers' summit. Unless they all needed a lesson on how to lose billions in a few months. >

Hey, he lost the MOST billions. >

I love how Elon bought Twitter and basically outed himself as a terrible capitalist and clueless people manager. >

I think Edward Norton did great impersonating him in the movie version of him in Glass Onion. Idiot that knows how to use other people’s great ideas. Sounds about right. >

He didn't even know how to use other people's idea's, he just spouts random shit and the people around him make happen what they were already capable of.
Reminds me of Musk's cameo in Iron Man 2 when he tells Tony Stark he has an idea for electric airplanes. It's like, no shit, anyone can have ideas, ideas are easy. It takes someone like Stark to actually make them. >

Yeah I mean he talks a good game, but when are we going to see rockets that land or an electric car revolution? It's all talk from Musk. >

Having the money to invest in your ideas is a different thing from having ideas. Pretty sure every kid has thought of rockets that land or electric cars by the time they're in 2nd grade.
He happened to have the money and the willingness to spend it at the same time the tech was becoming available to do those things.
Doesn't make him a genius, as you can see by his stupid ideas that haven't worked like drilling under cities and buying Twitter. >

Change in velocity is usually just called change in velocity. Delta-V is what you say when you're trying to sound smart by obfuscating your meaning to casuals.
And do you think he meant "full flow staged combustion", because that's what that article is ultimately talking about. Also the phrase "full stage" literally doesn't occur in your source /once/. It was literally just one of the top 1 or 2 hits on google.
It helps if you use quotation marks when you do the Google search. Also if you have a background in engineering, Musk doesnt. >


Change in velocity is usually just called change in velocity. Delta-V is what you say when you're trying to sound smart by obfuscating your meaning to casuals.

Yeah, this is Musk's whole brand. He's no different from any other corporate executive, he just has a weird cult of personality thing going on. 

And do you think he meant "full flow staged combustion" 

I assumed that's what he was going for (seen a lot of SpaceX/Musk fans gush about it) but I haven't seen the video/context so I just used the same source. Full stage combustion by itself isn't particularly deep or meaningful, hence the leap. You have to dig through a lot of bluster with Musk and his fans. >

Yea, but that's the other guys point "full stage combustion" isn't a thing at all, which is why it requires me to make a leap of logic to guess at what he meant, since he doesn't know. >

Uh oh, tantrum ensues… >

Dude got rich by being born rich, in apartheid South Africa.
They owns an emerald mine. People worship this dude, and it’s weird. Nobody should be surprised that he’s a shitty person. Midget on the shoulder of giants, and slaves. >

He tweeted that he has no idea where this idea came that his dad owned an emerald mine. Even though in 2014 he had an interview where he talked about the emerald mine his dad owned. 
SomeMoreNews did a bit on him today. He just wants to be adored but everything he does makes people see the dumbass he really is. >

In fairness, Snopes did a fact check and landed on False, saying there was no evidence. I can't see them missing something that's probably on Wayback.
I don't think there's a question he comes from significant money, it's just not know specifically where it comes from. >

you are correct, another journo did a investigation into a lot of the common claims and most are very benign.
IIRC it was his father invested as a 30-40% shareholder in an emerald mine and did not have any say over the management or operation of the mine just collected 400k (not even his best investment), In fact his father giving him 20k to start Zip2 was by in large a better investment returning millions when they sold it.
His father sounds like a narcissist and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. But the whole emerald mine thing and where he got his money from is full of false click bait lies from most of the media and gets peddled around reddit like its a major dig at his character but its really just dumb business insider being dumb click bait trash. >

Even though the douche said it himself in an interview about his father owning a portion of that emerald mine. Which was during the apartheid times in South Africa. Knowingly or unknowingly, he was raised with wealth that was taken from the backs of slaves. >

Dude you should go outside and get some air, he had no say in apartheid and the same journo that investigated this came to conclusion that even Musk's own father ran on an anti-apartheid party in SA. Should every white SA be "knowingly or unknowingly" be responsible for apartheid? even at younger age? get over yourself. The interview you talk about where he said his father owned a portion of an emerald mine was in his discussions about giving his then girlfriend a raw emerald his father gave to his mother after they divorced. Its all around just a weird flex, par for the course with his autism not some "apartheid emereald mine slaver" comments that get thrown around with very shakey evidence. There are just far and away better things to dig on him for than this, why even keep parroting Buisness Insider "burns/gotchas"?
The supposed "wealth" he gained from an emerald mine investment was a hobby for Erol not were he got his real "wealth". His father also wasn't supportive of his ex-wife and sons immigrating to Canada and did not give them much and most of his family considered it hard times during the split. He wasn't a silver spoon type that people make him out to be, it wasn't until Zip2 that he was considered wealthy and became a privileged narcists he is today. >

That's a lot of words for someone with a dick in their mouth >

yea I am a dumbass for even typing it with your low effort comments to conversation you butted into >

Trump was the Apprentice
Elon is the Biggest Loser. >

Even though he looks like a vat of butter and flour had a love child >

Roux makes better things than that. >

Beurre manié, then, maybe? But your sentiment stands, although I think he looks more like Crisco and flour had a love child (Whiter and more pasty). He also looks like he combs his hair with buttered toast. >

Hair plugs need greasing. >

Fair point. >

Please. We all know that Musk and Santos have a standing invitation. >

Awww...
And he was really looking forward to presented his latest work:
How to run a multi billion dolar business like a start up, after many years.
~Elon Musk >

Have some sympathy. Poor musky isn't invited to the supervillain club anymore. >

Is it any wonder he leans far right?
The man can’t stop lying while he’s full of himself! >

Musk far right?? Hahaha you have got to be kidding right? Funny how he was always a Liberal until he bought Twitter >

Hi! You must have been living under a rock when this particular spoiled rich guy got upset because libs weren't dealing with his shit anymore, so he packed up his toys and decided to get new, nazi'er friends. >

He was never not friendly towards them. He got a “liberal” reputation because he had some businesses that pandered towards some liberal causes while taking in lots of tax dollars to build up his wealth. >

Boycott Musk and Twitter >

I don't know that boycotting Twitter specifically helps -
The issue Elon is facing now is that advertisers fucking hate Twitter, because not only is there not a uniform audience to market to, there are no algorithms working correctly anymore to feed advertisements to the people most likely to click on them. Advertisements are being shown to people who don't click them, plummeting the desire of advertisers to work with Twitter.
If Twitter has a uniformly right-wing user base then Elon will find advertisers willing to play ball with him - nootropics, boner pills, religious multi-level marketing, pick-up-artistry, etc. There will be advertisers happy to have larger pieces of a smaller pie, and operating costs will go down for there being fewer users.
Also, the presence and popularity of people on Twitter celebrating and supporting Ukraine, Covid vaccines and trans rights, and opposing Republicans, China and cars-that-run-over-kids infuriates him personally to no end, daily, and pushes him into rash decisions further imperiling any business's willingness to work with him.
What really helps is reaching out to all the companies you see advertising on Twitter now, and letting them know you will not purchase their products while they are making deals with Twitter. >

AI will just make it work, stupid
Uh, the tech isn't there yet
AI will write the tech then. Fire the coding team! >

Oh, he is pathetic, like Trump. >

This bozo is the ultimate scammer. Guys who devised the Nigerian prince scam need to bow to him. >

I’m sure that’s exactly what Joe Rogan and Dave Chappelle says when he’s not around. >

The Twit in charge of Twitter >

Naw. It’s twatter now. >

Ooof. Cringe. Musk is that guy who turns up at parties uninvited and ends up crashing on the couch for days after the party has ended. >

That's a good one. I always compared him to the guy that quit smoking but keeps bumming everyone else's cigarettes. >

Because he's not smart at all >

They know he's full of shit >

Is he an actual toddler in a... I don't know, a robotic personsuit? >

Fuck Musk, but can we also agree that the people that go to Davos are ask just a bunch of entitled self-important assholes who think they’re God’s gift to earth? Like, here are some actual quotes from them >

I.. don't really see anything wrong in these quotes >

The Coke ceo talking about water access is pretty ironic >

This week's episode of REGRESSION is shaping up. >

This dude went from hero to loser >

When the statement “I do what I want” is annoying rather than funny. >

I’ll start my own Davos. And it’ll be way better. And YOU WONT BE INVITED!! >

The more we hear from Musk, the more he sounds like Trump. >

Out of character for this dickhead to lie. >

Hahahahaha. He’s pathetic… >

Musk appears to have some mental issues. >

I hope there is no one left on this world that still believes that money can cure insecurity. 
Here is a guy worth $100billion+ bothering to lie about something of zero significance. 
He’s already won life in every conceivable way. From amassing an inconceivable amount of wealth to reproducing 9 times, to creating some of the most valuable companies in the world. 
But he feels the need to engage and lie about something of so little significance. 
Amazing when you actually stop to ponder about it, isn’t it? >

Except that he didn't. Read above. >

gasp You mean, he lied? >

Poor little EM - he is so insecure that he lies over a slight that would have gone unnoticed...he must be of the opinion that being in the news is important and a stroke to his ego ( and failing business acumen). >

Musk crave attention but not the way he wanted. >

Anyone read the story?  There's actually no disagreement between the two statements:

Musk wasn’t there, though he says he was invited. Forum spokesman Yann 
Zopf knocked that down Tuesday, saying the last time the Tesla CEO got 
an invitation was “not this year and not recently — last time in 2015.”

...and Musk's tweet:

Dec. 22: “My reason for declining the Davos invitation was not because I
 thought they were engaged in diabolical scheming, but because it 
sounded boring af lol.”

He was responding to a poll by Scott Adams about Davos in general.  Nowhere does he say it was this year's supposed invitation he was declining. >

Careful. Bringing facts into a good Musk bashing post can cause a lot of downvotes. >

Oh look he’s following trumps business plan, lie, lie, lie…..😬🫣😑😳america is so embarrassing 🤦🏼‍♀️ >

Not anymore. >

Not mentioning butcher Nusret declined as well? >

If I had hundreds of billions of dollars I wouldn't be as insecure as this man >

Without a private jet you aren't welcome (at a "green' summit). >

“Let’s talk climate change at davos!”
“We need EVs!”
“Invite ford!” 
Lol. Clowns. >

Except that Ford announced early last year that its whole fleet of vehicles will be electric by 2035.
And have had to cap pre-sales of both the electric F150 Lightening and electric Mustangs because of such high demand 
Meanwhile Tesla has drastically slashed prices cuz their cars are junk and musk is so toxic that people are canceling their pre-orders >

High demand…..limited production capacity is the real reason when you listen to their earnings calls. 
They are also non-profitable on these EV production lines.  Hence why Tesla can afford to slash prices - and ford can’t - keeping the Mach E nearly 13k more expensive - for a less superior product. 
And also - PUBLIC VERIFIABLE INFORMATION- Tesla is STILL profitable per vehicle after discounts, cut the other OEMs off at the knees, and sales of EV inventory is at records - AND higher than ALL other OEMs. 
Spread your misinformation and hate for an individual somewhere else. >

Misinformation?!?
Ford is making its whole fleet electric by 2035. They've stated this many times.
They capped the pre-sale at 220,0000 units each vehicle becuase it is currently projected to take them 3 years to meet the demand.
Hardly limited production
Tesla has slashed prices. Even if they are still profitable, it's not something I'm sure they wanted to do, especially since inflation is driving the price of everything up and the market is being flooded with so many options of EVs.
I never said tesla wasn't profitable or Ford EVs were just that Tesla slashed prices mostly due to the pr nightmare your crypto savior has become. And the evidence is in his ability to lose largest amount of wealth in human history! 
And Teslas are pieces of crap. They aren't quality built vechiles. They do have amazing technology though.
Sorry these FACTS don't vibe in your echo chamber >

"Ford is making its whole fleet electric by 2035. They've stated this many times."
-And so we have been hearing this for quite some time.... still waiting.
"They capped the pre-sale at 220,0000 units each vehicle becuase it is currently projected to take them 3 years to meet the demand. Hardly limited production"
Do you see what you just wrote... if you could sell all those cars... and make them NOW - wouldnt you? YES - but they are LIMITED IN PRODUCTION CAPABILITY. THAT IS LITERALLY THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF THE AUTO INDUSTRY! Its taking them 3 years. Tesla sold 405K units in Q4 2022 ALONE... (FACT - Source: Reuters & Earnings reports)
'Tesla has slashed prices. Even if they are still profitable, it's not something I'm sure they wanted to do, especially since inflation is driving the price of everything up and the market is being flooded with so many options of EVs.'
I cant even begin to explain how against economic principals your statement is lol... BUT Tesla brought prices down to increase affordability of EVs to the people in a period of inflation... The OVERALL Auto markets New car price index - down 20% from the last 6 months. Example - 2023 AUDI A8 - 6 months ago, sold for $8K average over MSRP. Today. $10K below MSRP. FACT Source: COX Automotive & J.D. Power (Prob can find some local dealers discounting most cars) 
Not to mention - the whole point of running a business.. to be profitable. PERIOD. IF Ford is NOT profitable at EV Production...THEY ARE FAILING at building a scalable EV lineup. Period. FACT: Source: Econ 101
Telsa's price cuts will stifle the competition and will get them more market share in New and Used vehicles. Example - CarMax - published that they sold over 53% of their Used Tesla inventory in 2 days after they brought prices down! Which simply leveled everything out from the past few months of price gouging by dealerships. FACT - Source: CarMax Market Scope Report 
Not to mention- while for is subsidizing their EVS (remember, STILL NOT PROFITABLE!) - The Cybertruck is about to roll out (will 100% be BEFORE 2035 - even 2025 lol) - and they will be taking major market share there as well. For can fight for their tiny EV share - while making EVs in the red.   
At the end - the reality is that Tesla is the EV leader. The WEF is a giant clusterfuck of globalists who have their hands on everything and fear whatever and whomever they cannot control. Musk is that. And the Traditional OEMs... How do you think they have been around this long? Now that is a good topic for you to learn about ! Have Fun. >

All sorts of people reacting here who definitely will outperform Musk in financial cunning, products and services and loveliness. Our future is guaranteed to become brighter and brighter. I'll get my coffee, a bread roll and my sunglasses. >


and loveliness

Good God man. >

Paraphrasing Tina: What's God got to do with it? >

Whole lot of "lol @ Elon Musk" content at the top of this page that barely qualifies as news... >

It's such a weird back and forth argument to have, since if Musk really wanted to go he could afford to and they would have invited him anyway. Claiming that they would have denied him access would be horse shit. >

He was not invited… >

I'm not saying he was. But 3000 people attend, for companies a ticket apparently costs €28k. So why pretend it's some exclusive thing, it's nothing for the richest. >

Ok he could buy a ticket sure. They didn’t invite him. >

This is how you know he doesn't really have that degree in economics. Anyone who really had one would mess themselves to be a fly on the wall and make fun of everything they say there. >

not being invited to Davos isn't a big deal. Telling people you were invited when you weren't makes you look like a complete clown though. >
