Why can't you just find people to build cool tech like Elon did and become a near-trillionaire? The guy is a retard who lies about everything and spends most of his time on Xitter or playing video games. You really don't think you can do better?

Fake story. He never owned emerald mines. He did trade emeralds briefly, but that's it.

Also, Elon was poor and homeless when he arrived in Canada and started contacting people and building shit. He literally just slept in the rural houses of distant relatives and shit.

>>
>>108649045
you get it at least.

elon musk never sold material product in his fucking life. he always, always, always sold shares. that's it. this is what people don't understand. he is basically a stoke broker, selling financial mechanisms. those mechanisms are shares in the companies he owns. he then used the money to make new companies to sell shares in. those companies sold shares not because they were profitable, but because he pushed them further doing novel stuff than the competition. and then he hyped the novel stuff to sell more shares. he's a hype man. always was.

he's been doing it for decades and it's worked and people still call him a no-nothing idiot. it's amazing to watch.

Billions of people with less than zero net worth while there are trillionaires walking around and shitting on airplanes. You need to learn how to hunt and forage if you want to survive the next few years. Since the price finally went down on some kind of raw fat I took my chance to buy a decent amount. I ordered 12 lbs raw lamb suet, 1 lb goat liver, 1.5 lbs lamb hearts, 1 lamb brain (4oz), and 1 lb of lamb leg steaks. I never cared to read any books except for a few relating to health, since I thought those ones would be useful to me.

I'm considering growing berries in my backyard since I can't get untainted berries at any store. I don't know much at all about growing plants, but my mother does. I'd like to eat some moldy too. I tried that once with the least tainted berries I could get at Walmart. They were still sprayed with some kind of pesticide. They were also previously frozen, which is generally less of an issue for fruit than for meat. I wasn't harmed, but it's questionable how helpful it was to eat them.

Eating proper moldy berries will allegedly help with detoxifying from heavy metals, presumably through biosorption. Aajonus Vonderplanitz recommended it to people who were vaccinated at any point in their life due to the mercury and aluminum in vaccines. According to him it can be dangerous if you eat too many moldy berries. For most people he only recommended 3 moldy berries a week. Some can handle more. If you eat too many, a high quantity of heavy metals could be forced out of your tissues & into your bloodstream in a short period of time, which could very easily do more harm than good. The same thing can happen with the drugs & herbs other people use to try detoxifying themselves from heavy metals. Now is a good time to start eating moldy berries.

I know it sounds cheesy, but it’s actually one of those ‘lifehacks’ that works.

Nothing existed before Musk, except 2 guys with a name, a name that they didnt legally own the trademark to. Which Musk had to pay some random guy to sell the name to him as well.

No factory
No car
No IP
No employees
No trademark

Only thing the 2 guys who claim to be the founders of Tesla had was an document incorporation. And they lost the court case to remove all the co-founders from being called co-founders. One of the co-founder guy sued Tesla to claim he and his friend were the real co-founders. But he had no standing, so he vacated and settled. He was fired for mismanaging Tesla and was on the verge of bankruptcy. He was promised the first Roadster, and didnt get it after being fired. So he sued Tesla for it. Musk didnt give him the first Tesla. He instead got a Tesla that was crashed in testing and rebuilt. Kek.

The wiki pages are made up of lies.

If a person has the will to make great things, their boss is never going to pay them to do that.

Your boss is in the business of making money.
He has found the way to take other people's money with a niche thing called balancing a checkbook.

It's simple you have 20 employees all doing a different thing.
You pay them $2 per product, you pay $0.5 per product for materials, then you sell the product for $10 each.

Making money is not a matter of doing something great or improving society. It's a matter of ruining as many people's lives as possible, exploiting every single cent you can.
>>
>>108649008
Let me teach you the trick of the transaction, you don't ever need to pay a person for their work if they don't ask for money between each exchange.

It's simple, take as much as you can for free, then fuck off as soon as it comes time to pay. Businesses in China and India do it all the time.

If you think it's bad now, imagine how bad it will get if these people aren't killed.
>>
>>108649008
Now let me teach you about the good person lock. Never let a good person do trades. They belong in the backroom never talking to anyone, they are easily controlled with a minimal wage and hard work.

No, they pretend to to remain in his good graces.
The same goes for investors.

He's still better at it than anyone else. Big tech stocks are most certainly overvalued right now but there is still an underlying money-printing machine (namely, selling ads), but Musk has none of that. He only has money-burning machines except Tesla, which is widely believed to be the most overvalued stock. Other big tech companies at least do something well. Musk has almost nothing to work with except vague promises that never come even close to coming true.
>>
>>108653465
Tesla or SpaceX didn't make Musk rich. Being an US-appointed carbon credit dealer did.
The fact he was put in that position means he's extremely well connected and that's what investors are impressed with, not his lies or what his companies make.

I think it's just that china is mostly closed off in terms of stocks.

tesla over evaluation started with redditors. around 2019/2020 they begun doing "yolo bets" by buying a lot of call options far head of the current price which tricked bots to buy shares which started a chain reaction between bots and investors. now tesla is more than a car manufacturer: batteries, robots, processors, ... and may become a mega corp.

There is clearly a distinction between Musk lead companies and "traditional" ones.

Its not that i'm incapable of making $9 bajillion dollars, its that you have to be a certain level of high functioning sociopathic that throws hundreds (or in Elons case thousands) under the bus and fuck them over

lie to them, fuck them career wise, get them fired, push them out, backstab them, betray them

You have to be prepared to do basically anything to your friends and colleagues to get to the top like that

Bezos and Zuckerberg are the same


You have to be a total toxic piece of shit to basically everyone in your life for like 20-30 years

Wealth is not a number on a computer screen, it is the power you are able to wield over others. That's what a dollar is. It's an economic voting slip. This fact is somewhat obscure for the average sub billionaire brokie, but when it comes to true wealth it is immediately obvious.

Think about how many people's entire careers are spent catering to richfags. There are engineers designing yachts and private planes, architects and builders for their mansions and winter homes (and summer homes and beach homes, etc.), private chefs and personal doctors, pedo sex traffickers and politicians. Countless people producing and shipping the goods they create, countless people serving them directly and indirectly.

Not to mention the literal, direct power over a company that owning shares gives you. Want to fire half your workforce because you read that we have AGI now? Why not? Fuck those wagies. Or just buy out an entire company then do whatever the fuck you want with it.

It's just not "fake wealth" in any sense if you can buy almost whatever you want whenever you want.

I agree with all of this except I accept I'm not capable of making billions of dollars at this point for those reasons.
I'm also risk-averse. I knew about bitcoin in 2009-2010, but chose to close out all my outstanding debt (student&car loans) rather than speculate. Who knows what would have happened? Maybe I'd have lost it all in the Mt Gox crash, or maybe I'd have made millions. But either way, I chose a safer path.

It's fake wealth cause the slips you mentioned are centrally controlled and only given for favours. There's nothing productive done to produce said wealth. That's why we're in the shit situation we are now economically internationally. If you don't accept that paper, they kill you. But like the snake eating itself, everytime you do violence, the value of the paper decreases until there is nothing left.

That's why we're about to hit the end of fiat in the next year or so. All the moves you see is out of desperation to keep economic power. If they had any real wealth, they wouldn't have to lift a gun.
