President Elon Musk

and we are at the "the financial times has no idea how to evaluate unlisted companies" phase of denial i see

Actually there were many conservatives in BFI mocking robo taxi nonsense ages ago in BFI. You showed up around that time to mock those same posters for entertaining the covid lab leak theory. Your old and tired schtick where anyone disagreeing with you was comparable to the toothless hicks who gave you wedgies and stuffed you in lockers growing up that left you bitter

If that refresher doesn't help try the search function

Musk was referred to as tech-trump

ridiculously big reach conspiracy theories

"I wish leftist would do stuff like this". Where have you been the last 10 years? There's been riot after riot documented for you to see on the interweb. The even took over a section of town and called it chaz or something like that

Cool

Lol. right. The only reason you think that number is valid is because you like it, don't know anything about private equity and are generally dumb about ANY subject. It's completely trivial to get ludicrous valuations for non liquid assets the bulk of which aren't actually for sale. I'm a billionaire if you look at the worst prices people have paid for private firms I have a stake in. It's meaningless. You really think VC firms look to the financial times to price assets? Lol man, this is dumb by Trumper standards.

except i posted when it was devalued at 10 billions the same months ago, and your grotesque bad faith is showing.

Not that i need to know ANYTHING about private equity at all to link a source from the FT making a claim btw.

It's not they "look at the FT to price things", it's that the price they evaluate a company at when they invest *is* the price the company is evalued at semantically.

You can say "i think private equity this round overpaid for twitter". That's an opinion. It's still objectively true that whatever the last transaction for unlisted equity is at, THAT'S THE ACTUAL VALUTATION FOR IT.

And you know that , yet you write this trash post. Why? because you have nothing better to do than participate in a leftist squadrist pile on on me even when showing how in bad faith you are , and inventing new meanings for words and processes, in this case how to evaluate non-listed equity.

You are disturbingly obsessed with trying to "catch me" into me saying something that you can criticize, that you deny what's obvious and uncontroversial to anyone in evaluating unlisted equity.

And btw this round will have fiscal effects for others. Other owners of pieces of twitter if their corporate structure require it *will have* to mark up their shares in twitter after this, same as they *had to* mark them down previously.

So much for "you know nothing" jfc , terrible guy you are truly. The stereotypical horrific leftist.

Lol catch you..... this is super basic stuff. I understand when you don't know anything about a subject and have low intelligence to begin with anything you read that you agree with must be true but that's not a good excuse. Like I said, I'm a billionaire then by your standards..... a VC firm taking a 500k flyer as another lottery ticket at a total val of few in billion of a company I have a stake in as part of their 100 billion portfolio does not mean we could sell significant chunks of the company at anywhere near that value. Ask anybody in finance and they will tell you that. It's completely normal/standard. It's idiotic to think that you can and you only are reporting that number as reality because you don't know anything and are not smart to begin with.

And to be fair I don’t think your view is typical of right wingers. Even most of them wouldn’t be dumb enough to have an opinion knowing as little and having such poor thinking skills as you. They’d be fine saying ya I don’t know so I don’t think it’s political as much as a just plain dumb thing.

Watching a complete fucking moron trying to explain Leon’s breakeven success in the context of PE will always be a point of hilarity to me

the old "she dressed like a slut" defense

eh not really. More like a I'm commenting that these are maybe the initial skirmishes around 'The Hamptons are not a defensible position'

To Luciom and others of his alt-fascist sect, we're all exactly the same person. Jeremy Corbyn has the same politics as Chuck Schumer. I have the same politics as you. His hate is way too existential to convince him to bother to learn or appreciate the many stark ideological differences between his enemies. We're all minions of Satan; what else needs to be said?

This phenomenon does exist amongst the left, but to a far smaller degree. I'm not going around calling Mitt Romney a Nazi who holds the same views as Nick Fuentes.

Sluts typically don't take unhealthy amounts of addies and then spend 48 straight hours scheming on how they can destroy all the working-class people of the planet. They also don't sexually harass a flight attendant/try to coerce her into sex and then offering to pay her back with a horse.

Elon does evil stuff on a regular basis. As far as I'm concerned, all sluts do is bring joy to the Earth. One of these "deserves it" far more than other.

People talk about ketamine, but that's a tranquilizer, how could he always have all this energy needed to spazz out like he does (though you gotta admit, he DOES make a very convincing 'X' out of his body) if he's always in a K-hole?

I'm thinking he takes some private, unique, designer upper drug called like JX18-F to blast him straight through the ket doldrums into his preferred state of euphoric mania. He's constantly vacillating from extremely up to extremely down. Anyway, the good news here is that he's more likely to die young than one might otherwise expect.

Wat? you are a radical leftist and a self-identifying marxist, he is just a leftist. Not the same expression. From 1 to 100, where 1 is Mao 100 is Ayn Rand, you are like 8 he is like 28.

But i can barely tolerate a 40-something, and i start feeling we are the same species with 80-something, so yes, in SOME SENSE you are both way beyond salvation even if i can rank you as different.

But i know very well people like you under 10-12 are very inimical to the 20s and 30s, and that's basically what saves first world countries from outright allin leftist being the only rule of the land. Because there are more people in the 1-40s than there are above that.

If people from Mao to Biden always coalesced , in democracy you will govern 100% of the times.

He is on adderall or something very similar to that.

Hes probably not on drugs when hes out in public. Adderall is more believable than ketamine. Its not hard to spaz out for 10 minutes.

Hes reportedly done recreation drugs and not sure where the ketamine thing comes from but I've been around people using ketamine recreationally and they don't act like Elon. Its probably got some truth to it in that he has done ketamine before but is being used to drag him.

He didn't even hit the blunt in his famous interview with Rogan.

Yea I think people just say Ketamine cause it’s kinda popular right now and associated with celebrity drug use.

That **** knocks you out, like semi-paralyzed level moving through sludge feeling, at least at the therapeutic level. Maybe it’s different taking micro doses/ recreational amounts, dunno.

Even in those cases, it slows you down, make you smile in ******ed way for simple events, and makes you far more docile than you would otherwise be. It's not something that "fires you up" in any quantity. It's a pacifier.

Please up your dose then.

But they all evil anyway right ?at what number they should be put to death ?
40?60? 80?

From 1 to 100, where 1 is Raymond Babbitt and 100 is that "it's still real to me damn it" guy, you're like a 98.

I remember those morons. They were debating crap about Covid origins and literally had never heard of the.....main paper on the origin of covid 19!

[quote=Ecriture d'adulte]The famous new coronavirus of probable bat origin paper has almost 5k citations in a year and was probably the most read scientific journal article of 2020. If I thought I had something nontrivial to say about it that isn’t in the existing literature it would be a complete waste of time to say it here. That’s what journals and preprint archives are for.[/quote]

[quote=Redacted]Nobody here is doing original research, but rather summarizing and critiquing existing literature, much of which makes little sense on its face. I haven't read the probable bat origin paper: would you kindly link it here if you haven't already? [/quote]

That's the equivalent of spending days debating the length of the sides of right triangles, then when somebody mentions Pythagoras, saying huh never heard of the dude.

I can't begin to wrap my head around Ayn Rand as the political ideal. I admittedly am a bit put off by what a terrible writer she was at the individual sentence level.

I think it's extremely likely that a multi billionaire public figure like him is on a lot more than ketamine. Nobody will know what and how much obv but with his particular antics, and his personality with admitted ketamine use, id say it pretty much a lock that he uses a mixture of other stuff, at least recreationally. But likely consistently. A lot of those rich mother****ers, (gates, Jobs, Altman) and those were the sane ones, admitted to being deep into a lot of stuff at one point. Elon, looks to be entrenched in it and probably is.

Protests might present opportunities for various forms of social unrest, but the people committing violence are usually cops or other infiltrators and the people looting are not the ones with deep political convictions, probably literally couldn't tell you the difference between the political Right and political Left.

The people marching in the BLM movement wanted justice, not mob rule, because mob rule is exactly what they are opposing. The minority wants rules to be followed. There were some deaths but those, as I have spelled out in detail in this forum, were all from rightwing anti-protestors. That's predictable because, unfortunately in my opinion, all the nonviolent people have been sorted into the Left. We will probably see a substantial realignment of that soon, but right now if someone gets killed by a gun you can be 99.9% confident the killer was a conservative, whether it is political violence or whatever.

George Zimmerman could come to a BLM rally no one would touch him. You might think I'm trolling you but I'm not. If someone from ANTIFA punches a Nazis that is a good year for those of us rooting for Leftist violence. That's all we get.

What the right-wingers call "violence" is almost always against property. Left-wingers usually use the term to mean hurting people.
