Grimes/Claire Boucher thread

Tesla, worth about $50 billion, employs more than 10,000 workers at its Fremont factory. Alongside the company’s remarkable rise, workers have been sliced by machinery, crushed by forklifts, burned in electrical explosions and sprayed with molten metal. Tesla recorded 722 injuries last year, about two a day. The rate of serious injuries, requiring time off or a work restriction, was 30 percent worse than the previous year’s industry average.
Frantic growth, constant changes and lax rules, combined with a CEO whom senior managers were afraid to cross, created an atmosphere in which few dared to stand up for worker safety, the former environment, health and safety team members told Reveal.

And in addition to yellow, Musk was said to dislike too many signs in the factory and the warning beeps forklifts make when backing up, former team members said. His preferences, they said, were well known and led to cutting back on those standard safety signals.

“If someone said, ‘Elon doesn’t like something,’ you were concerned because you could lose your job,” said Susan Rigmaiden, former environmental compliance manager.

just a clueless union busting, de-regulating, risking-his-employees'-lives millionaire

*billionaire

indeed, was quoting Adam

by the sound of things he's quite possibly not a billionaire at this point

Google has him at 19.4bn but who fucking knows what that really means (beyond that he deserves the 'tine)

un
con
trollable

honestly idg what is so bad about him. mostly seems like a clueless millionaire who wastes his money on futuristic vanity projects like electric cars and stuff. it's not like he fabricated lies to get us into the Iraq war or personally had a hand in the surveillance state or legalized torture or something. ppl that actually did those things are celebrated as heroes.

I did find it a bit hypocritical that this thread was celebrating so hard when grimes started dating George W Bush

I love that boat story upthread, it’s more PB Shelley than Twain tho

lol, the Velvet Glove Cast in Iron

Everyone in the PayPal mafia should find a muse.

maybe I'm in the minority but I don't find her very sympathetic in that article. "other men only liked me for my small waist, but elon musk gave me his credit card to buy books, and it was true love" is like bad YA novel shit

He looks happy like a billionaire who just bought an expensive Marc Chagall.

xp

she looks kinky as hell ill give im that

Oh my god

Every picture I've seen of Grimes and Elon Musk is giving me horrible flashbacks to seeing my friends in our Vampire: The Masquerade LARP dating 35 year old libertarians in leather dusters with katanas who parked on the Denny's sidewalk while blasting Closer by Nine Inch Nails

jfc she's almost 35 herself let a woman live twitter

she's 30

dirty thirties

that's a lot closer to 35 than the LARPers the tweeter was referring to! and a lot more of an adult than people are implying with stuff like that

i mean. i assume. idk. twitter irony or w/e. i literally knew teens who were dating mid-30s vampire ephebophiles back in the day and this is all the way NOT that

has the phrase "(x) is cancelled" ever been more appropriate

yeah that’s not that, that’s an indie artist who built her brand through woke socialist concepts dating a billionaire libertarian who believes public transport are eeek full of mentally ill people willing to kill you.

Simon wait until you read about Jeff Bezos, you’re gonna flip

flopson yr attention is required in the words that annoy you thread bud

this thread is so gross

at the risk of ignoring the voice in my head saying that there is something problematic about what I am about to say although I have not quite pieced together what that problematic aspect is yet,
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

man alive otm

yeah i mean calling her a hypocrite is fine, it's the comparing her a defenseless child/ingenue/whatever that is super gross, like, this is an adult making adult-ass decisions

despite her acting like a total 10 year old

what's that kink where the person acts like a child and calls their partner daddy?

it's all over instagram now

*googles*

o ddlg

Damn dude

an adult who chooses to act like a 10 year old is still an adult, idk what yr point is

this thread is so gross

and wtf is this

Musk and Grimes in the conference room.

man alive seems bummed that grimes is dating elon musk

definitely lots of gross comments itt, but it is newsworthy/worthy of discussion/i understand why people are so flummoxed, even upset, because Grimes' ethos seems completely at odds with Elon Musk's. which whatever, it is what it is, it's just jarring for now.

i'm far from upset btw

saw her at fyf a few years ago

twas fun

but ya

child

Simon wait until you read about Jeff Bezos, you’re gonna flip

Oh, completely deserving of an early death as well, don't get me wrong.

you don't understand, he's dating kehlani

don't idealize celebrities and you won't be upset when they do things you don't like

an ILM without gross comments about female musicians has never been the ILM i've known though it's less frequent now, the herd's been thinned and certain posters (myself included) have grown up.

she can do what she wants, also maybe we shouldn't speculate even passively about whatever went down w/her previous relationship, all things considered.

i find it unfortunate, that this is how ILM remains.
