Reddit is home to plenty of good and bad things. Pretty good metaphor for this debate actually. The problem is that everyone views everything as black and white. I never said he wasn't a cunt.

Steve Bruce all over again.
He's demonstrably an idiot though. When it was suggested advertisers would leave X, he said 'go fuck yourselves' like he was king dick. Now he is crying they won't advertise and trying to sue them, at the same time as he himself retweets racebaiting misinformation to escalate the situation in the UK. I wonder why they don't want to sell Mars bars next to those posts? :D
Isn't his allegation that they all conspired to not advertise, which is arguably cartel/price fixing sort of behaviour? He might not get anyway with it but it's hardly without any sort of merit.
He is a cringe Reddit cunt, and clearly more of a manager/driver-througher than the engineer some people seem to think he is, but lol at the idea of him just being some bumbling chancer. 'He only bought Tesla!' Yes, with the money he made from...
...his dad owning an Emerald mine?Quote:

*Completely a joke, he's probably never done drugs.
Nah mate, if my dad had left me a couple of million I and not him would definitely be the richest person in the entire planet. Luck of the draw. Like pks.Quote:

He can be a fantastic business man and still be a thick cunt. Alan Sugar managed it.
It's a bit like when people think educated people are necessarily intelligent. Some of the biggest retards going have masters degrees.
Education =/= business acumen =/= intelligence.
I would bet that business acumen and intelligence are strongly correlated. Education and intelligence certainly are, as much as it we try to pretend otherwise.
And yet we have doctors believing in homeopathy. 9 times out of 10 it's because they are doctors in non-medical fields, but I have to ask how someone can be both educated enough to be a doctor AND thick enough to believe that the cure for something is more of what caused it, but watered down. And the more you water it down, the stronger it gets. These are both very educated and very thick individuals (and probably scammers).Quote:

I would gladly take a 2 point IQ hit to get musk's business acumen.
Spot the people who have never worked in business.
If that version of events is true then at the very least he's the best investor in the world, which would suggest he's reasonably intelligent.Quote:

Would letting a treatable cancer kill you be worse than having caught AIDS? That must have been some dilemma for him legacy-wise.
My mate got 13 A*s at school, went to a top UK university, now has a PhD and teaches there. He is a very clever guy when you talk to him. I once watched him 'lock' his mountain bike to a waist high bollard.
Can you even take 13 GCSEs?
Yeah if you are a massive nerd.Quote:

I got straight A* and also know how to lock a bike up so fucking go me.
One of his was Latin.
:lol:
Next time there’s something bad, I’m gonna leak John Lightfoot as the bad man.
Meanwhile that tool who was reporting fantasy acid attacks against Muslim women in Middlesbrough was meeting government ministers today.
They're really churning out the prison time for anyone connected to the recent rioting. This one sticks out as a bit "WTF?" to me:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czrg70xgm5zo
Crazy that he's in prison 5 days later.
Edit: Actually, it was less than 48 hours. He live streamed at 10pm on Wednesday and he was jailed Friday morning.
Lock up all TikTok wankers.Quote:

We're straight back to School Shooting news coverage. The more they cover this stuff and the reaction to it from the public, the more nut jobs will want to do it.
White man committed the crime and stopped by a Muslim. England and its racist residents in tattersQuote:

This happened behind my building. People were out yesterday evening, looking for the lad :(
The clock is ticking! Political left desperately hoping his name is Lee Smith, political right praying for Mateusz Kaminski.Quote:

Not for me. You played with fire and get what you deserve.Quote:

Something about keeping the proles in check.
Plus it's real easy to prosecute when all the plebs have video of their own crimes.
And they're admitting guilt generally.
Because the majority of crimes are commited against other people. When you commit crimes against the state the boot lands on your neck.Quote:
