The ongoing Elon Twitter saga: "insert demographic" melts down

[Sankari]

Every day this forum looks more and more like a standup comedy club.

This is what now passes as an apparent Science Journalist, ridiculing a biotechnology company for attempting to cure neurological diseases through advances in technology. The absolute state of the left these days, rabid and deranged, group think obsessed.

Will you be here all week? I tried the veal, it's great!

Meanwhile, another day, another L for the petulant man child.

Great stuff! Musk has basically been stealing investor money with his delusional promises that he never delivers on. Its time to return the money back to investors

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

But but but he doesn’t care about money…..

No of course he doesn’t and reading the comments it’s amazing they can even still talk their tongues are stretched that far up his ****

I'm not sure, but IIRC Delaware is one of the favourite states to register businesses in specifically because it's legislation and courts are really well known for holding people to their contracts and making sure that businesses do their job properly in regards to the investors/shareholders.

Musk only likes the government and law when it benefits him, when he falls foul of the government and law then he lashes out and says the government needs to go and the laws need to go

Exactly. Yet this is the genius and our lord and saviour they all worship

 

[unwashed potato!]

I see Elon has asked his xitter simps whether he should move tesla information to texas. That definitely feels like a question for his simps rather than those who actually own tesla, especially given he isn't the majority owner.

 

[JRS]

I'm sure one of you will have a positive word to say about anything one of his companies does one day, this is basically why I've completely lost interest in this thread.

*Spock eyebrow*

To be fair to Musk. The cars and the SpaceX stuff is fine, successful and was even if its less so now in regards the cars, cutting edge.
I think its what most rational actors think he should be doing, being involved in those businesses even if he isn't as actively involved as his job titles make out, he was and is a clear part of their success chain.
Do what your good at not what your bad at and all that.

Can you be anti-Musk whilst appreciating what he has achieved elsewhere, ie - SpaceX, Tesla, Boring Company etc? Seems a bit of an oxymoron to me...

Not a bet I'd choose to make. SpaceX has been a consistently high performing engineering company for the last 10+ years. Falcon 9, Cargo Dragon, Crew Dragon, Starlink and Raptor Engine have been stunning successes. Starship and Stage Zero have had incredibly fast development.

Actually I don't hate things Elon likes, I'm a big SpaceX fan and although I'm not personally an EV fan its good that they are causing the industry to face new challenges

Also:

It's not that I don't like him, in fact you can search my entire post history regarding Elon musk and it was generally not ever slagging him off until a few days ago when I called him a narcissist in one post and said he was foolish for agreeing to buy it twitter without the usual due diligence.

I've never had a strong opinion of him either way but I respected what he had done with Space-X and Tesla.

See post here from 2017

Still enjoyed it but Tori from BSG was incredibly stupid for a trained security officer.

Recently he seems to have changed though, but not really interested in his holidays, affairs etc.

To be fair to Musk, he wasn’t one of Tesla’s founders so didn’t choose where the company was incorporated.

Not sure why you are trying to bring facts into highlighting a false position Roar has, he is the typical low energy thinker that once his mind is set on a certain viewpoint, no amount of facts or showing the exact opposite is true will change his mind.

I think pretty much everyone incorporates there because the courts are company friendly and its their speciality.

He was actually one of the founders and could have quite easily moved the state when he came on board as Chairman/investor if there was good reason too, it had existed for less than a year at that point/was pretty embryonic.

I think he's just a bit bitter/venting at this decision, incorporating in Delaware is pretty standard in the US.

Also low taxes

 

[D.P.]

Also low taxes

this is the main reason , which then means there are thousands of law firms that specialize in Delaware corporate law. In the flyover states there is a lot less choice in law firms, especially at the high end .

 

[dlockers]

He was actually one of the founders

By post-humorous court order. He was just an overzealous VC in reality.

The wrong way around, he was already considered a founder (there were 5 in total, one of whom joined the company after Elon) then there was a case/attempt by one of the other founders (Martin) to try and get a declaration that only he and one other (Mark) were "founders" and that was struck down. He's more responsible for building that company than anyone, what did those two founders contribute? It seems like employee number 5 who is also a co-founder also contributed more than those two.

 

[VincentHanna]

I fail to see how you can be "founder" of a company when you come in 9 months after it's foundation.

That's not to say he wasn't instrumental in it's success.

lol conjeccccccccture. When was he "already considered a founder"? The firm was the vision of the original two folk who incorporated the company.

And it is only 9 months if we assume the two lads sat doing nothing and then went "BOOM TESLA LETS GO TO THE OFFICE AND REGISTER IT". They would have been discussing it for donkeys years whilst Musky boy was destroying PayPal and getting managed out of there too.
