    Touching in Elon's first comment.

    You absolutely can sell houses and cars you don't own, both literally (a house that is not constructed yet, a Tesla that hasn't been built yet), but also contractually in the exact way one would short a stock.

    But whatever. Besides the point.

    Fuck Elon Musk. If he wasn't the richest man in the world be would be a 4chan incel.

    Lex Fridman is a fuck. Fuck him. Stupid name empty head.

    Toxic man the politics understander should pre-book his place at a reeducation camp.

    Matt Binder tweet ok but still pisses me off merely by virtue of the blue tick.

    blood vessel bursting bullshit

      Blue tick good, it makes his tweets actually show up amongst the noise. Like literally the algorithm favors those accounts, not just from the visual attention grabbing factor.

        Elon Musk's entire gimmick is pretending that climate change can be rectified using the same economic methods that led to environmental instability in the first place. Don't give us that bullshit. He has proposed nothing of genuine value to any environmental cause.

    They're seriously pushing for this narrative that this isn't actually Capitalism but "Corporatism", which is.. Capitalism.

    They sense their shitty system is in crisis.

      What's the deal with this Lex Friedman guy? Someone recommended to me his interview with an Epstein beneficiary Joscha Bach and it was entertaining enough, I guess, but for a supposed MIT brain genius Lex Friedman doesn't seem too bright. Maybe it's his interviewing style or maybe he's not comfortable enough with English, I dunno, but those three hour pods are too long and too dry for me to listen to another one of them to find out...

    Shorting stocks works perfectly fine unless you make up shares out of thin air.

    Elon skirting the issue of how overvalued his stock is relative to Tesla's financial stability? Color me shocked. Also, what exactly does he think reserving Teslas that are yet to be made is?

    Well I mean Marx traded stocks, so according to the logic of some users here: Gamestop shorting = communism.

      Marx traded stocks, which means trading stocks is communism. This is why capitalists should make the stock market illegal :galaxy-brain:

    Shorting doesn't work in practice! Anyway, I'm off to watch The Big Short.

    God damn it, these guys are so smooth brained, that they've found the first frictionless surface in existence
