Elon Musk

the mind geniuses of innovation valley

[2022-04-17] Elon: Any interest in participating in the Twitter deal?
Larry: Yes ... of course 👍
Elon: Cool
Elon: Roughly what dollar size? Not holding you to anything, but the deal is oversubscribed, so I have to reduce or kick out some participants.
Larry: A billion ... or whatever you recommend
Elon: Whatever works for you. I'd recommend maybe $2B or more. This has very high potential and I'd rather have you than anyone else.
Larry: I agree that it has huge potential... and it would be lots of fun
Elon: Absolutely:)
[2022-04-26] Larry: Since you think I should come in for at least $2B... I'm in for $2B 👍
Elon: Haha thankss:)

looooooooooooool

lmao how did he not know what the deal was

You forgot to tell us why he canceled you. Odd that you would neglect to mention that.

Parag: Also: my email to company about AMA leaked already+ lots of leaks from internal slack messages: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/04/07/musk-twitter-employee-outcry/ -I think there is a large silent majority that is excited about you bring on the board, so this isn't representative. Happy to talk about it-none of this is a surprise.
Elon: Seedy
Elon: *awesome (damn autocorrect!)

you were right first time AC

lol at Don Lemon not recognizing the true floor of non-objective subservience.

reading Musk's relationship wih Parag collapse in just days is gold

Elon: Haha awesome
Elon: Maybe Airbnb's algorithm thinks you love tractors and donkeys (who doesn't!)

lol

Elon Musk and Don Lemon are escalating towards what could be a bitter contract dispute after X’s owner abruptly terminated its agreement to broadcast a show hosted by Lemon — but Lemon does not have a signed contract.

breach of promise!

yeah i mean he prob has some sort case but still does not come off as being very savvy here

"We pinky swore!"

dealing with elon better to get cash up front

so the rocket got up to space this time but not back (in one piece)

i feel like back will be the dealbreaker for the moonfarers

fuck the video of the boosters landing on the moored boats is almost enough to sell ME on elmo’s model, but then i think of the myriad costs and his total non-responsibility for it and, “whoo, glad that passed.”

yes. adj myriad. the way i werz taught it lol. 🧐

pretty cool

some great re-entry footage there tbf, the superheated plasma footage looks cool and it seems a feat the cameras were still working at that stage. lol, shame the attitude control was seemingly non existent and it looked like heat shield tiles were falling off all over the shop. total cowboy operation.

new mario kart looks sick xxp

NASA is investing about $4 billion into the starlink system

What's crazy is these videos of the cybertruck failing at doing basic truck stuff are always posted by fans of the car that think they're showing off pic.twitter.com/6IKTuhe2af

"just made a run to Target and back without a wheel falling off - let's see you try that losers!"

these guys are in a tough spot cause they want clout and cyber truck fails get numbers, also the cyber truck fails a lot

yesterday I saw my first cybertruck in the wild. the owner had painted it matte black. it was amazingly ugly and surprisingly small. I could probably take whatever its maximum load is, fit it in my 27 year old Subaru station wagon, then take it anywhere the cybertruck could go.

The Cybertruck looks like it will be followed by a bunch of magnets

dont think twitters doing too good

Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social
Lol. Listening to Elon Musk on a Twitter Spaces with Missouri's AG, Elon just suggested that activists calling on advertisers to stop advertising on Twitter "might be a RICO violation"

https://bsky.app/profile/mmasnick.bsky.social/post/3knz4mzi4u32a

elon’s entire shtick is “this is a thing I heard of”

imagining Elon in a conference about biology hearing “enzymes” and he says something about considering binding sites and people nod

haa

i am more impressed with the diligence and care that into that wrap job than i have been with cybotruck so-- Exceeds Expectations

Unfortunately for Don Lemon, I don't know if what X has can legally be considered "shows."

xp otoh "cold cuts for a hot planet"

i love to be reminded of global warming when im trying to get a sandwich

what's colder than cold cuts

Funky Cold Medina?

PRIME ROOTS ... catering the climate apocalypse your way

also "prime roots" what i could see it for a vegan place maybe like instead of a cut its a root which is a plant, starting to think the place that dressed their cyber truck up as a sandwich doesnt have the clearest messaging

its ironic cause people did like musk then he bought twitter and now they dont

Yeah, welcome to social media, Elon.

he was genuinely surprised to get booed at that chappelle show

he thought people loved him when he really just had good pr

cannot imagine how much that level of success fucks with your head, being the third biggest boat dealer in the greater wilmington area absolutely drives people insane

I would probably become a complete monster but I'd like to think I'd at least try to keep a low profile
