Elon Musk has long made a habit of hyper-focusing on a specific project, forcing an entire team to attend to his every whim while letting his other responsibilities fall by the wayside — whether it’s his obsession with Robotaxis impacting Tesla or his weird procreation kink disrupting the private messages of countless women.

The latest object of Musk’s obsession? According to new reporting by the Wall Street Journal, he’s been personally overseeing the developing of xAI’s chatbot Ani — which, tellingly, comes in the form of a super-sexualized pigtail-wearing woman that removes her clothing in response to flirtation.

I yet have to see a billionaire goung bankrupt.

Why do you try to protect people like that from public outcry? He bathes in blood money, and if one day it ends or he has to "pay back loans" or whatever, who cares?

Your post sounds like you explaining his boots has an amazing flavour.

Here you go.

27 famous figures who went bankrupt https://share.google/n61bsvOqXfg8MPBi0

I understand you are ignorant of the way finance works at this scale, but there is a long list of Billionaires who went to bankrupt because of over leveraging and fraud.

Madoff, Holmes, ...and they all left a wake of bankrupt investors.

So one in prison, the rest are probably living "only" millionaire lifestyles. Trump went bankrupt lots of times, but he bever really was bankrupt.

Also what a loser ragebait "I understand you are ignorant", stop smelling your own farts.

And your post sounds like all the IQ in your family went to your siblings. Now that we have exchanged the traditional personal insults, let's get back to the actual topic at hand.

Why do you try to protect people like that from public outcry?

I'm not "protecting" him from anything. I'm explaining how money works at his levels; how he can seemingly lots of cash while actually having lots of debt. As long as his stock rises he can keep up with the leveraging and the banks don't care. But, get this, by the very definition of what a "loan" is, it is not his money.

If you don't believe me, look up what "loan" means in any number of a myriad of online dictionaries.

He bathes in blood money, and if one day it ends or he has to "pay back loans" or whatever, who cares?

Compassionate Fucking Buddha, can you not even begin to figure out why this information is useful? If it's "his money" (FSVO "his") it's far harder to take him down than if it's someone else's money that has him leveraged up the wazoo. If all those billions were "his" he would be damned near unassailable. Since, however, they're all debt he's easier to attack and destroy!

THAT is why getting it right is important! This is not boot-licking, this is "how you fight the motherfucker". Find a way to tank Tesla stock again and you've NAILED him.

I yet have to see a billionaire goung bankrupt.

Off the top of my head: Bernie Madoff, Eike Batista, Björgólfur Gudmundsson, Adolf Merckle, and Bill Hwang.

Maybe you'd see them if you opened your fucking eyes.

Fair enough.

Thanks for the 4 billionaires that eventually went down the drain, when I guess a hundred new ones were created.

In the same vein, even if "elon goes down" the core problem still exists. And I'll eat my hat if he finishes broke under a bridge lol.

IMO you are attacking something that is just the tesult of the problem, not the problem itself.
