In 2002 buy apple or google stock then use that money to buy bitcoin.
In October 2001, short all of the major US airlines.
Why wouldn't you do that in August? It didn't take a genius to do this after 9/11

In March 2020 buy anything related to travel or leisure or fast food.
Are you European? 9/11 was in September, because American dates.

you'd be waiting several years. bitcoin wasn't "invented" until '08. but you're on the right track. by '09, you could have got 100btc for lunch money. sold today it would give you more than enough to live on.
If you started mining on the day the network launched you could have had thousands of bitcoins without even buying any. Mining difficulty was really low before FPGA miners (and ASIC miners) were created

In 2002 there were no bitcoins. But there were Epstein island parties
Yep.... Bitcoin didn't really take off until 2010. I had a buddy who was an early adopter and had mined/bought hundreds of thousands of coins at one point. Spent it all on the silk road, he always used to say it was just a way to turn electricity into drugs.
No, it literally didn't exist until 2008, and even then only conceptually for another year.
That's why I said it didn't really take off until 2010.... As in people started to actually trade it for actual goods.

You could travel back to 2009 and impersonate Satoshi Nakamoto. There are already conspiracy theories that Nakamoto is a time traveler because he did what a time traveler might do. He anonymously created Bitcoin, and then he disappeared. He has tens of billions of dollars of bitcoin sitting there unused. Or maybe it's just waiting until he gets back to his time.
Space x existed for 2 years before Musk bought it. He just provides money that was stolen from market manipulation or PayPal when it desperately wanted him gone.
OP is just a famous shit poster account.
To sabotage the company right? Right?
They would have access to chemicals to make dangerous mixtures...
Lol I took this way darker than intended 🫠
Same. As a janitor I could maybe murder Elon without anyone knowing
I mean if you got a time machine there's much easier way to do it.
He was likely conceived in October of 1970. Just cock block his parents problem solved. Or just find his dad at any point and just kick him really fucking hard in the nutts, cuz he's a piece of shit.
Well, in theory if you want to reduce unforeseen changes in the future you want to make changes as late as possible. Also, murdering him after he is a billionaire/trillionare would send a message.
I'm convinced Elon did access a time machine, travel back, and set this shitty timeline in motion.
Elon killed Harambe??
harambe was the divergence point between 2 different time lines.

janitors aren't losers
But People, who dream about working for fascist trillionaires, are.
“For helping our space company reach the stars, I will be granting you, dear janitor, a $1mil bonus and a generous stock option!” said Nolon Moosk, the complete polar opposite of popular Nazi Elon Musk.
I actually yearn for a transnational workers cooperative space company that collects startup capital from crowdsourcing and fundraising.
Would probably have to host the physical operations somewhere in the global south, as the big authoritarian nations would likely be a bit hostile to the idea of making any domestically-developed cutting edge orbital rocket engine technology FOSS.

Did the janitor get stock?
Yeah I think the joke is that he’s trying to get rich off the SpaceX IPO in 25 years. Not a huge Musi fan but the joke is funny
Yeah, but it is still pretty stupid.
Why dream about a scenario that would not pay off for 25 years? So many other companies would be getting you rich quicker, or you would just get a lottery ticket. Or get some Bitcoin in 2010, or Nvidia stock in 2018, or any number of scenarios.

Anyone who doubts the nobility and virility of the janitorial professions has never played Space Quest

FFS. If time travel was a thing, buyingNetflix, Amazon or Apple shares in 2002 would see you retired on an island beach this year. Depending on the sum invested, the beach could even be on your own island.
imagine getting access to time travel and only using it to win at gambling
Beats washing toilets for a quarter century delayed payday though, innit?
Time travel is a fantasy. Why so serious?
if you're going to indulge in a fantasy at least make it fun. go to the far future where we have luxury space communism and everyone gets to have as many dicks as they want and live rent free in their own private space station. way less work and you can live secure in the knowledge that everyone has it just as good as you do, so no one will come and try to steal it.

If you have a time machine, you can invest in Microsoft for pennies and end up with more money than Warren Buffett without doing any work.
I thought the implication was the guy was going to assassinate a global threat when it was most convenient, and before they destroyed hundreds of thousands of lives with their illegal cuts to vital government programs. But at least we're all now paying less for vital necessities, right...?
Bold of you to assume custodial work isn't contacted and thus none of them are considered employees.
he was going to X him right? Right?
