He consistently surprises me on how big a piece of shit he is. He could have just said it was because it was a better business environment but he had to go the shitty route and blame trans people.
Essentially lower taxes and politicians who are easier to bribe. Considering that Musk is also CEO of a company with big battery production and another one that does some solar panel production, I'm not sure a shitty power grid would be too much of an issue for SpaceX.
His trans daughter hates him so much that she not only officially changed her surname from Musk in court, she had it put into the court record that she disowns him. That's not even a law thing, she just wanted it officially noted.
Imagine what sort of absolutely horrific father he must be to disown one of the world's richest men? She could have kept her mouth shut, waited for him to die, and hoped she got some money out of it, but he's that terrible.
Alternate title: "Billionaire that doesn’t contribute anything to the local community threatens to go away"
It’s the same as people saying we shouldn’t raise taxes for the ultra rich because they will go away, as if they didn’t benefit from the tax paid services for free
I know, also Grimes dating Chelsea Manning right after they broke up (I feel bad Chelsea Manning got involved in anyone this, she is too good for these people)
He's just so creepy and weird about it though.
Is he going to see his kid's genitals? No, right? So why does it matter? Why do the genitals of students matter to him?
"Oversexed oligarch with mental capabilities of a toddler on cocaine unwilling to admit to world how horrible of a businessman he is, grabs ball, runs away crying, blaming Trans community for his woes."
I ALSO would move MY Business if I wasn't allowed to Talk About Children's Genitals! Also DRAG QUEENS are Perverts (but I NEED to be able to Discuss 5 year olds Genitals!)!
Have you considered the comment not being serious but highlighting the absurdity of antitrans folks being so incredibly focused on young peoples genitals while decrying others as perverted for wearing clothes that differ from their own?
You know... that does kind of track. Back in the 2010's when the hot topic was gay rights, some of the most zealot anti-gay right wingers... were found to dabble in the very least. And this is some loud stuff that has no direct connection to him, so... yeah.
Imagine if there weren't people wealthy enough to have their own private space programs...and yes, it would be better if oligarchs didn't have the flex to attempt to bend state or national policy to their will.
I hope this move bleeds talent and destroys both companies. I mean, I get that X already probably lost everyone who could get a different job (making people on visas hostages) but this should empty out the last of those who have the ability to leave and haven't done so already.
Living in Hawthorne myself (the place SpaceX is in now) I don't get the sense it's doing the city all that good. I think they get major tax breaks or something, since the area is pretty run down except for it's immediate area. It's fairly industrial / commercial but there's a closed down mall, boarded up shops, etc.
I hope this is a punch in the gut the fools running the city need to start dealing with it's real problems. :/
Wonder how many of the engineers will follow him. Idk if this is true but felt like Twitter was one of the top places / most desirable places to work, you got to solve high scale, highly visible problems to help people communicate along with the standard silicon valley amenities. Now with the musk take over I doubt they're having luck finding the best talent. Will be fun to see it decay over the coming years.
