Turns Out There Was Voter Fraud in Georgia—by Elon Musk - sh.itjust.works

If Donald Trump’s administration really wants to find evidence of foreign interference in Georgia’s elections, then they need look no further than the president’s old friend Elon Musk and his shady super PAC. Members of the Georgia State Elections Board voted Wednesday to issue a formal letter of reprimand to Musk’s America PAC over the billionaire technocrat’s illegal scheme to get Trump elected. Georgia, a key battleground state in 2024, was the target of aggressive campaigning by Trump’s team.

That, along with a furrowed brow, should fix their Nazi problem.

I’m still so fucking pissed at aunt & uncle for idolizing this shit stain.

They say “I don’t like him as a person, but he’s doing some really great things for humanity” like no fuck you, he’s literally a Nazi. I don’t give a fuck if he’s autistic or has Asperger’s or whatever the fuck; the dude is a goddamn Nazi and you cannot tell me otherwise.

Let alone the fact that he has almost literally all the money.

He really does not almost literally have all the money.

He has stock, that if he tried to sell it all would collapse its value. It was only full display when he was selling shares to buy Twitter.

He would still be a multi billionaire, but it would be a fraction of what he has in paper.

What he does have is power from wealth. But that’s different.

He has stock, that if he tried to sell it all would collapse its value.

No. I see this claim made very often to downplay how obscenely wealth is concentrated, and it’s one of the Big Lies that sound superficially plausible but just plain isn’t true. There has never been a case of a stock “collapsing” solely from a stock holder trying to liquidate it with no other factors at play; at worst it’s a few percent that regain themselves after a few days.

A lot of things contributed to the TSLA drop, and it was nothing like a “collapse” - it was in the middle of a record spike (meaning he was able to sell unusually high, hmm, nothing suspicious there) with the supposed “collapsed” value never dropping below what it had been less than 9 months previously. If anything the example you give proves that not only is he entirely capable of raising extremely large sums of money selling stock, he’s also adept at pumping the stock just before he does to snatch even more than we thought he was worth.

But, even if we did accept that he “can’t” sell his shares because it would collapse the company, that suggests something even worse about his wealth - that it’s so obscenely high that even the combined wealth of the global stock market doesn’t have enough money in it to offer him a fair valuation.

It wouldn’t collapse the company, it would collapse the stock price if he tried to sell it all. The company would be mostly fine.

His shares are in a sense, out of supply, and when there is an injection of new shares, the price goes down as there are now more shares available to be traded. Its very simple supply and demand. There’s no way he’d be able to maintain a sustained sell and have even half of what he has, unless he did it over a very long period of time.

I am pro Tesla and pro SpaceX yes. All you online folks get some much wrong about the companies, sometimes blatantly wrong, and I do try to correct people on those matters at times because you’re acting no fucking better than how the MAGA people you all think act terribly act.

This is a good example: lemmy.world/post/42908537/22057585

You don’t have to like the companies because of who runs it, that’s fine.

Russian offensive appears to be slowing after Musk blocks Starlink access, Ukraine says - Lemmy.World

“They are like blind kittens,” a Ukrainian General Staff commander tells POLITICO. Two days after Elon Musk’s SpaceX launched Starlink verification and blocked unverified terminals in Ukraine, the pace of Russia’s offensive appears to be slowing, a Ukrainian military official told POLITICO. “Currently, such a trend is indeed observed. But it will be necessary to monitor further whether it will continue, whether there will be other factors,” said the official, granted anonymity to discuss sensitive matters. “However, at some places, Ukrainian military Starlinks which have not been registered yet have also been disconnected. But the registration process is ongoing,” the official added.

Its very simple supply and demand.

That’s what makes it sound so superficially plausible, but it’s not simple at all and just doesn’t play out that way.

Do i get a medal or award for being called a bot? I think this is the first time?
Certainly if you’re not a bot, you should use it as a cue for a bit of introspection that your posting habits seem to follow the exact patterns of an astroturfing bot. Not really something to be proud of.
Or maybe all those posts claiming Musk was the cause of all those Ukrainian deaths because he didn’t block Russia sooner, are the bots?
