@caseynewton would you say FSD stands for Full Self Dilution or Full Self Delusion at this point?
@caseynewton
on the plus side: he isn't done losing yet.
@caseynewton couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy
@caseynewton I volunteer to be second, if someone will first give me $201 Billion.
@caseynewton I'm sure it's just behind the couch cushions somewhere
@caseynewton congratulations 🥳🥳
@caseynewton that’s what makes him the GOAT dot gif ✌️
@caseynewton one does not exactly hate to see it

@caseynewton Meh. He's still worth way too much. Because most of his net worth is Tesla stock which is *still* horribly inflated.

I say again, Tesla has 3% of the car market, GM has 15%. Yet Tesla is worth 8 times as much? Why?

@isaac32767 @caseynewton Because the market hates unions, and Tesla’s workers have yet to unionize.
@caseynewton Well, a billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you're talking about real money...
@caseynewton money is just lines of code in the Matrix! At least that is what he is telling himself right now.
@caseynewton I flatter myself that my own near-abandonment of the bird site played some infinitesimally small role in that.
@caseynewton hahahaha. I'm disappointed you did not write that headline Casey.
@caseynewton
Yet…
People still invest gobs of money in businesses he runs. While folks doing amazing work in communities across the country struggle with limited resources and scarce support. I have such a hard time with that.
@caseynewton He's into conspiracy theories now. Elon in wonderland.
@caseynewton and his lifestyle is wholly unaffected
@caseynewton everyone here seems to be conflating unrealized gains with actual money.
@caseynewton I’d watch if he and Putin were the first two to meet in the large hadron collider.
@caseynewton Is that a lot? Because that seems like it might be a lot
@caseynewton He didn’t lose it per se. He sold Tesla stock at three peaks and netted billions in realized cash gains. In doing so, he drained the retirement accounts of unsuspecting shareholders. Tesla shareholders lost billions. Not Elon Musk.

@caseynewton

Yeah, but he got so many memes out of it #memelord #spacekaren and really owned the libs.

@caseynewton A hundred billion here, and a hundred billion there, and pretty soon you're talking real money.
@caseynewton There surely are lots of right wing assholes to help him out.
I suppose this was the model of Profit from the beginning
@caseynewton quite an accomplishment 👏👏
@caseynewton i wish i had the opportunity to even try that. sounds fun.
@caseynewton And somewhere, someone is playing a mournful song on the world's tiniest violin.
@caseynewton congratulations!
@caseynewton Mayoshi Son getting some competition I see
@caseynewton that takes some real effort. Kudos to Elon, he really IS trying to burn it all down.
@caseynewton — Freaking Biggest Loser 🏆
@caseynewton Couldn't have happened to a nicer fellow.
@caseynewton have you checked the couch cushions? It must be around here somewhere
