So it’s gamers doing gamer things.

I cannot emphasize it enough - GamerGate and that hate machine that spun up in the early 20-teens is the nitro that fuels trumpco and trumpism. Steve Bannon has said it himself many times, this is from a 2017 interview about how he learned from playing WoW how to "activate" a troll army

Quote

"I realized Milo could connect with these kids right away," Bannon told Green. "You can activate that army. They come in through Gamergate or whatever and then get turned onto politics and Trump."

It's been going on for more than a decade now, and is basically the background radiation in gaming and entertainment

Yeah it's gross but it's not dominant or anything. It's a very vocal section though. I love wow and came back to it recently after about a 10 year break. The player base now (for classic at least) is solid millenial dads 30-45. Most people are normal but like every other aspect of american society the maga idiots love to let everyone know they are maga and revel in being disruptive assholes.

So I’m trying to figure out who gets fucked in twitter getting sold to Elon’s company. I guess the original investors and lenders that bought Twitter have their positions rolled over into this bigger entity. Given that, whoever is investing in his AI company just bought an inflated asset. But given that the ai company is also an inflated asset, it doesn’t really matter. So, in summary

Best I can figure, he’s trying to get twitter lumped in with his ai company so he can take the whole thing public again and get an ai valuation from it.

 

So I guess it’s the rubes that buy it then that get fucked.

Which will somehow include all of our mutual funds and ETFs, because it will immediately shoot into the S&P 500, just like Tesla and other overvalued crap heeps.

I would not be shocked if Elon is sued by the xAI investors for saddling them with debt they presumably didn’t want considering they didn’t invest in X. That’s also hardly the market rate cost for the platform. But hard to know if the bulk of the investment in XAI know that this king of grifting comes with the territory. 
 

is it possible this was also a leveraged purchase so now X is going to be paying off 2 loans from acquisitions?

Posted

His other twitter investors were always quick to release bad X numbers to the press, and most likely he couldn’t stop providing the numbers to them and prevent them from leaking them. I assume they are now AI shareholders but who know maybe Elon paid some of the in cash (AI raised capital) to get rid of them. More details will come out.

i also would discount the idea that he’s hurting depending on how much he’s borrowed against his Tesla shares. Perhaps this sale somehow played into that.

Elon is not hurting for cash. He can loan against Starlink/spacex/TSLA shares in the private market for a sum of money with so many zeros that the average American couldn't comprehend. 

Morgan Stanley is happy to loan against those shares at a super low rate. They don’t even give a shit they got burned on Twitter debt. The flim flam man keeps the wizard of Oz act going for now.

this motherucker has gone full victim and now full fascist re: tesla. threatening the people "spreading lies" BS. the people causing the terrorist to burn teslas. uh huh.

Most current FSD build with latest hardware easily passes the Roadrunner test:

The second vehicle tested has the same hardware and software build that I do, so I still need to be on guard for desert road murals, anvils, and bundles of dynamite.

tesla buys solarcity feel to it.

clearly there is massive fraud here but well self-dealing then you can hide a lot for a long time.

 

Fraud in the $33B valuation price or elsewhere? I would love to see those numbers.

Elon has a cash problem in that he's not as liquid as everyone thinks.  His pattern of collateralizing stock works as long as prices and valuations continue rising but when they don't he can get in trouble quite suddenly.  I've seen an estimate that his TSLA holdings might be as heavily as 50% collateralized with a margin call on the first tranche somewhere around the 210s.

there was an arm's length transaction for the whole of the company which valued it at whatever the fuck it was just a couple of years ago. have the fundamentals eroded since then? sure. has it required a new valuation? probably not. the people who are fucked are the other investors* in elon's AI company who've just been diluted by another $33 billion in issuance but they're along for the elon+AI meme stock ride.

Yah, you can call me a Musk. lol.  No court order needed, pay me Daddy


To put those numbers in perspective: 
 

Conservatively lord jizz cup is worth $100bn. 
 

If you were worth $1mn this payoff would be worth $25 up front and $5 a year after that.

My son (18) loves the outdoors and is a big environmentalist. Global warming is his biggest fear and he has been a huge Musk proponent because he thought Musk mainstreaming EVs was going to be revolutionary. So you can imagine he was devastated when Trump won and then felt huge betrayal when Musk did his heel turn 

But he’s also an eternal optimist and looking to find the good in the bad. Today he says to me “what if Musk is actually a genius? even though he is pissing off all the traditional Tesla buyers, what if he actually is expanding EVs to a whole new market? Liberals have other EV options but now Trumpers will be buying Teslas”

I said that sounds great but hardly any Trump supporters can afford a Tesla. 
 

Not believing me he gets on the googles and finds the following:

1. Musk’s aligning with Trump has greatly increased the popularity of Teslas, especially the cyber truck, among Trump followers 

2. The average Trump supporter makes 50K per year. 
 

his conclusion: Musk is a fucking moron

Thank you, Charlottes Clymer, for a suitably solemn counterpoint to my quoted earlier post. And may God bless all who gave their last full measure of devotion to the ideals of this country that I loved.
