Absolutely.    Would you like other guys pointing out Hotez deficiencies?   It was actually more about Hotez but whatever? Why stick around? All the constructive back and forth

According to documents obtained by the New York Post, Lemon attempted to shake down the billionaire in contract talks for his new X show.

The report stated, "The ex-CNN anchor sent over an astronomical wish list to Elon Musk during contract talks to host a show on the billionaire's social media platform X – including a free Tesla Cybertruck, a $5 million upfront payment on top of an $8 million salary, an equity stake in the multibillion-dollar company, and the right to approve any changes in X policy as it relates to news content." 

Lemon's agents at United Talent Agency sent X's leadership the contract proposal in December for review. 

A source knowledgeable about the situation said Lemon also demanded a private jet flight to Las Vegas, a suite for him and his fiance. They also noted Lemon requested X cover day drinking tabs and fancy massages.

I’m not sure what that really shows? Shakedown? Hardly. That’s called doing your due diligence. And I don’t see anything out of the ordinary in that list

free Tesla Cybertruck

a $5 million upfront payment on top of an $8 million salary

an equity stake in the multibillion-dollar company

the right to approve any changes in X policy as it relates to news content." 

a private jet flight to Las Vegas, a suite for him and his fiance. They also noted Lemon requested X cover day drinking tabs and fancy massages.

 

The truck I don’t want, but I would ask for a vehicle all things considered. 

The salary is in line with his pay at CNN and honestly given the stories of how he’s screwed over people with severance, I’d ask for up front cash too. 

equity - pretty standard

editorial sway - I would ask for that given he was one of the first guys on the team

the Vegas stuff - he was told CES or no deal, those asks are pretty basic given how much he was the Twitter face of CES and how he was something sold to advertisers as the new direction of the platform.

So I don’t see much there that is real a big deal. What this really calls for?

If anyone ever doubted Michael Dell's motivation in life then watching him suck off a Nazi-sympathizer whose platform is paving the way for a massive rise in racist, anti-semitic behavior should make it clear. How many more billions does Dell need, and how does he figure aligning himself and his company with Musk is going to help him obtain it?

I don’t see what’s in it for him. This can’t be just about taxes. 

He's gone full red pill. All of the grievances of the world are caused by illegals, women, LGBT, etc. This is what the grievance industrial complex is all about these days. These people are absolute chodes, but the ills that befall them can't be their own fault, so they blame anyone or everyone else.

It's just mind blowing when it is one of the world's men. Granted, this seems to be striking a lot of the rich, white males of silicon valley.

That's what I don't get.  Rural poors and generally disaffected people, ok, maybe, but this guy has more money than he knows what to do with.  What grievances could he possibly have?

It’s not complicated. It’s ego and narcissism. The redpill incel Musk fanboi crowd wants to make him a god, wants to elevate him above all humans who have ever lived. And he desperately WANTS to be god: adored, unquestioned, with omnipotent power, able to do whatever he wants.
The only thing standing in the way of him being the god he dreams of being is…everyone to the “left” of his fanboi crowd. Thus, he hates those people. Because they stand against god (Elon).
There is never a need to over analyze Elon. What would a psychotic narcissist with a god complex do/feel? Then that’s what Elon will do/feel.

Imagine being one of the world's wealthiest people, capable of buying or doing virtually anything, yet somehow believing you're the victim and that life has been unfair to you.

I will note that this is much bigger than just Musk, it's a ton of these guys.

The only thing I can think is fear. A threat to the perceived world order that could potentially take away their riches and power. They only see this as a zero sum game - if someone else has success, someone else has to lose, and since they are at the top, it must be them.

Power, or more than likely the climb to the top, has deluded them. Along their climb to the top there were winners and losers. They see that winner/loser dynamic as still carrying over into the here now. They don't get that winners and losers of the climb/falls were just the markets sorting things out. They didn't win because others lost, they won because they were lucky enough to make the products that the people needed/wanted.

They take this view to be fighting for percentages of a pie, and its all about keeping your slice or making it bigger, taking away from someone else. They don't seem to get that with the pie growing, you can lose a small bit of marketshare and still grow what you bring in.

When you see the world like this, minority groups looking to gain something are a threat - and thus you have a grievance.

This is also 30+ years of partizan news making everything an us vs them debate. You poor people have a problem, THEY (insert your least favorite minority group here) caused it! Direct your anger at them. Divide people and make them fight each other and the real problems of the world (usually caused by those with the messaging) just keep getting worse. And people direct their grievances at the wrong targets.

This is Danny Duncan's cybertruck. He puts horns on all his cars and subsequently gives them away after kind of tearing them up a little bit. 

 

LOL - just had a friend run into this car and pointed out what should have been obvious to all of us

Especially given how many tens or hundreds of millions he’s gotten from the government for SpaceX (not to mention incentives for Teslas).

No fucking kidding.  Why is he spending all hours of the day posting stupid shit for incels on Twitter when he could be on a private island or yacht or hanging out in the world’s better cities and locales?

But no, he’s gotta be hanging out in Austin in March giving interviews to Don Lemon and then getting pissed off when he gets asked questions he knew were coming , or posting dumbfuck Qanon shit.

Give me $10 million and you won’t hear from me again outside of maybe a few paparazzi photos or Interpol notices.

I mean, Paul Atreides is the product of centuries of eugenics attempting to bring about a messiah figure to lead humanity on the golden path... So that doesn't seem all that out of line with elmos brand of crazy?

Boy, will we look stupid if X turns out to be a charismatic leader that starts a jihad

True, true. With the addition of @atomheartbevo's tweet (Liam Neeson) post above, I think the Cybergs are envisioning themselves in a Mad Max Fury Road role w/o considering that apocalyptic environments are bad for one's well-being.

you know what else apocalyptic environments are bad for? Providing electricity along a convenient network to charge your rust bucket.

Speaking of cats and car washes, putting your cat in a pet carrier, strapping it to the top of your car, and driving through a car wash may seem like a great way to get a cat clean, but it’s also considered animal cruelty in Texas which is a felony.

I have a suggestion for a huge improvement to Xwitter, I would like to screen what I see to only sports - actually I have sworn off X and it has been at least 6 months since I've been on, but I may log back in for March Madness.

I don't want to see and political crap, or investing/finance crap, or what Egon has done or said; hell I might pay a $1 or 2 just to see what I want, not what other people like. OR should I just stay away from it, it had turned into a shit show with paid blue check marks and other Egonistic mistakes..
