How does she not know?

In case you haven't been following, after Elon laid off the first batch, two guys saying their names were Ligma and Johnson acted as if they were some of those employees. They said silly stuff like they didn't know how they were going to pay for their Tesla now that they were laid off.

So Elon tweeted some fun.



So after everyone has realized it was a joke, this lady still doesn't.

I'll give him this - he's found a way to avoid having to pay these departing employees severance or unemployment by getting them to leave of their own accord.
All of these employees are getting 3+ months 100% pay severance

It's better than the bargaining agreement that was threatened during the first layoffs.

Yes it does and FTR he ain’t no socialist. He’s completely right here.
If he isn't including Obama when discussing cults of personality then he isn't completely right.

I consider anything that Rick Wilson tweets with some skepticism.
As you should. I was referring to Scott Galloway in the video.

But tell me more about this Obama cult. Are they making big plans? Are their dues? When are meetings?

Thanks in advance.

You first. Tell me more about this Musk cult. Are they making big plans? Are there dues? When are the meetings?

And FTR, you know the Obama cult was a big deal from 2008-2016. It might still have a few suckers who believe the image that was marketed but it's faded since then just like the trump and supposed Musk cults will fade.

TIA :mrgreen:

I'll tell you about the Obama cult. They are the ones who believed he was some sort of great speaker when he applied the same formula over and over.

I, I, I
Me, me, me

Followed by how he would say, "Now, we're not going to talk about how they are racist, backward and a threat to democracy (which he just did), but how I want to talk about problem A"

Which then proceeded with him using the straw man argument about problem B. Then he would then state that he had vanquished problem B, which meant he vanquished problem A...which he didn't because they weren't equal.

Followed up with I,I,I, me,me,me.

No shit. My money is on Elon. To think there aren't people out there who are willing to work their asses off to make bank is just stupid. He will reward the ass busters and the lazy whiny will work elsewhere.

Uber-competitive, win at all costs (including illegally), narcissism is bankrupting what little American morality and ethics we have left.

This is unsustainable.

Dude. Project Veritas has a Twitter engineer bragging how he only worked four hours a week. Replace those guys with those that are willing to give you an honest 40 and Twitter will become profitable.

Why do you hate uber-competitive, win-at-all-costs, narcissistic people?

They can't control who they are anymore than a person can control their gender, biological sex, etc.

Maybe you should reconsider your intolerance and bigotry.

Ha! 4x10 is a great work schedule. Got to do it for a couple years.

I've said it before. I love the aspect of Star Trek in which Earth realizes they are not alone and bands together for the common good. I often imagine a World in which money is gone and we all pitch in to help.

It's a choice? Prove it. Show me some studies from reputable scientific research institutions showing that uber-competitive, win-at-all-costs, narcissistic people are that way because they choose to be and I not because that's how they're wired, environmental factors during their development, etc.

Uber-competitive, win-at-all-costs, narcissism isn't limited to trump, MAGAts or conservatives. Expanding the SCOTUS is an idea pushed by uber-competitive, win-at-all-costs, narcissistic people in the ctrl-left.

Oh…I thought you were trolling.

Note: my original point was…wait for it…post-partisan.

And of course it’s a choice. On a societal-cultural level. Humans are a social ape. Cooperation benefits our development, not just competition. We have swung far to the competition/dominator side of things.

I have a broader more post-partisan "definition" of uber-competitive, win-at-all-costs, narcissism. It isn't limited to individuals or conservative go-getters. While some on the right idolize uber-competitive, win-at-all-costs, narcissistic individuals like trump, some on the left idolize uber-competitive, win-at-all-costs, narcissistic groups such as AnTiFa and the Squad.

We have NOT swung far to the competition/dominator side of things. If anything, we've become less competitive and the idolization of trump is a normal reaction to the emasculation of America. Not everyone wants to go where you and other illiberals think we should be headed and their views and opinions are valid and should not be dismissed in the win-at-all-costs pursuit of your agenda
