Remember when the dogecoin con artist promised to end spam on Twitter, then declared victory over the spambots, and then all his fanbois pretended the spam went away and the problem was solved?

2023-05-04 08:04:35

- reply

No. Nothing. Nothing.
If you worry about how much money other people have, you need to grow up and focus on yourself, not take things from others. Uou are an immature child who was not raised properly. That child who used to get mad no matter how many toys his parents get him whenever he's see a child with another toy. That child needed to be raised properly and educated about the fact that his own life is in his hands and that others are not his enemy and that jealousy is sick and destructive.
My problem with fiat is that it lets some people make money for free while the rest have to work for it. THAT is a crime and a travesty that ends and I would guess it would lead to less wealth concentration, but I don't care about what others have. I just care about them not robbing me.

2023-05-04 07:56:33

Completely false. Germany & Japan dominated post WW2 industrialization with strong currencies, as does China now. The industrial revolution happened on a gold standard. Switzerland stayed on the gold standard and had the highest productivity in the world. The idea that destroying your currency creates industrialization is another criminal fiat lie to promote inflation and benefit parasitic scum. It's the equivalent of telling you that selling your work tools will increase your revenue and raise your productivity. You're destroying your capital stock and devaluing everyone's wealth, forcing them to sell more to survive, and then taking these added sales as a mark of success rather than criminal theft.

Tax is theft. If a project is worth pursuing, people will willingly pay to pursue it. If people won't willingly pay for it, then it's not worth pursuing. The examples of government funding long term projects are basically grifts that go nowhere.

If it was wise you and people who agree with you would be paying for it willingly. That you need fiat scam subsidies says you don't really believe it. I don't believe it's worth it either.👍

Exactly zero accomplishment except the amazing feat of getting otherwise intelligent people to treat the obvious waste like it's an accomplishment. The satellite internet thing is a stupid grift we've been over before. The rockets aren't achieving anything except sell pipedreams

2023-04-20 18:51:07

The subsidies are the obvious problem, and their presence is why people deal with this insane and obviously pointless stupid waste as if it were some glorious accomplishment. Everything looks good when you don't have to pay for it!

That just means it's becoming cheaper to blow things up in the air with no return. The idea that there is any benefit from this is just marketing

2023-04-20 13:54:51

So the dogecoin con artist is getting billions in government subsidies to launch massive rockets that do nothing more than blow up in the sky... And this is somehow a brave and heroic achievement and not just blatant theft because he's convinced TV viewers that these rockets will somehow take humanity to Mars. Do I have this right?

I still think cables are much cheaper. Ultimately with all businesses, theoretical calculations are no match to economic reality. Can the business run profitably without resorting to government subsidies and contracts? All of Musk's scams rely on government subsidies and contracts and nothing about Starlink suggests it's going to be different.

2023-04-09 04:23:31

- reply

You can get much cheaper redundancy by having ANOTHER CABLE! It's not about what you think is nice to have; it's about what you'll actually pay for. Like Tesla, SiaceX and all this retard's scams, Starlink only works thanks to government contracts --i.e. theft. They don't work because consumers pay for them

2023-04-09 04:16:35

Astonishing how this con artist has convinced people who can read and write that putting thousands of satellites in space is more economical than A LONG CABLE. As long as it keeps the fiat gravy train going!

2023-04-08 19:03:19

Long cables are much much cheaper than satellites. Maybe if people weren't wasting their money on another retarded idea from the grifter who brought us dogecoin, ruined Twitter and is hell-bent on uninventing the automobile, you'd have more broadband internet and less living vicariously as the teenager that got away with not growing up.

2023-04-08 14:37:29

- reply

Basically 95%+ of people who can afford starlink live in places with infinitely better and cheaper internet. Thinking you can finance thousands of satellites to orbit earth from revenue from people who are too poor to have broadband or proper infrastructure is the equivalent of thinking electric cars or dogecoin are not a retarded idea.

2023-04-08 13:08:05

- reply

It works in an easy money environment with plenty of investors chasing buzzwords being sold hopium about scaling and unrealistic expectations about price declines and revenue increase. But the economic sustainability of launching a very large number of satellites to satisfy the very small number of people who live in isolated areas is extremely suspect, just like every single other thing Elon has ever 'built'.

2023-04-08 13:03:00

- reply

The cost/benefit analysis of launching expensive satellites to deliver internet to the very tiny number of people who live in isolated areas away from cheap great internet seems extremely unworkable, no matter how much you would like it to work. Nobody has created a tropical paradise full of supermodel servants just for you, either, but that doesn't mean that anyone trying it must succeed.

Don't count on it lasting long. Like all his ideas its shell life is attracting investors, not operating sustainably and profitably

2023-04-07 20:05:57

His internet satellite thing is also an unworkable scam. All his genius ideas are always on the verge of changing the world, they just need more government support before they do.
Notice when actual inventions are going to change the world, their producers are too busy making them to ask anyone for money. The ICE car, airplane, or iphone did not need decades of subsidies like the electric car or his rockets to nowhere.

2023-04-07 19:29:54

The only question is if Twitter will keep this streak going by remaining a money-losing operation, or by getting government subsidies. The only way to make Twitter profitable at this point would be to sell control of its algorithms to a government, likely CCP.
Elon's wish to turn Twitter into WeChat suggests a particularly good product-customer fit: the CCP onboards the world onto its fiatcoin & social credit system & censors as it likes.
