I know Indonesian Chinese who are fillthy rich in Cash and assets and not in stocks etc etc. Some of them are probably richer than Musk.
The Forbes top list of who's who is BS, the old money , corrupted money that are being hidden from public eyes are way more than what we know.


Saudi Aramco has roughly 10 times the equity and net income of Tesla, 90% of which is owned by the Saudi government, over which MBS has full control. So it seems safe to say that MBS is significantly richer than Elon.

Elon is trash funded by Russia.

It is fun seeing him drive twitter to the ground and bitch, though.

He knows something that we, the average public, do not. I can't imagine something other than this that would allow him to take the stances he takes. All others seem to toe the line.

A highly successful narcissist that comes across aloof in interviews.

Elon is overrated, his cult views him as some kind of technological savior, yet his products are unaffordable for majority of working Americans even majority of his own cult. For example Starlink is either $90/mo or $120/mo in USA which while most places in the USA offer comparable internet plans near $50. The Cybertruck was advertised with reasonable price tiers, now post-delivery the prices are out of range for self-financed US workers. The most affordable EV they sell is arguably the Model Y right now between price cut and tax incentive, yet that still is notorious for needing premature battery replacements.

I guess you’ve never lived away from a city. Most places don’t get internet in rural areas without going by satellite. Starlink is cheap as hell compared to the other choices. That may give you 20mbs capped at 20 gig and paying 200 to 400 a month for.

I live rural really far from a proper city, closest small town like 20 miles away. Starlink is the premium choice in the country, many country homes can get a 4GLTE modem or line-of-site service (popular in flat states) at about half the price as Starlink. If you can't get those, then you probably left with Huges net which seems like what you referenced there.

The 4GLTE modem with directional antenna can be a great setup for country folk


Edit: Its worth mentioning that Starlink doesn't really get FCC handouts, good-ole-boys club doesn't like him. Perhaps the rural services could have been cheaper if FCC would subsidize it more like they do failed ISPs all over the states.

What is your opinion of this man?

I admire him for his free speech absolutism. He seems to really live up to his ideal, he allows all kinds of speech on X/twitter.

Recently he endorsed an allegedly antisemitic post, which caused a storm, resulting in the exodus of advertisers. In a recent interview, he said to those advertisers who pulled dollars from X, to "go fuck yourself". I mean I certainly feel his anger, but this is not appropriate behavior for a figure like him. He seems to be unable to contain his emotions in public. I mean, even I know not to call out people in real life like that and then tell them to go fuck themselves.

So my verdict of Elon Musk: I believe he's a truly good guy, but he needs to work on how to control his emotions.


elon wants to put a chip in your brain. leftie frauds will line up for it like they did for the trump juice jab
