it's only once awhile now because that's how fucking long it takes to get enough content on here for me to reply.

it used to be enough content everyday. like 20 years back. lol.

The most fun part is when I have to flip my keyboard over and shake out the bits of coke. I have to pick out pieces of dust and pubic hair, then I scrape it together and make a victory line

It doesn't look like his BS pay package is going through, so he has to come up with this lawsuit to keep his dumpster fire afloat. Imagine what Elon is going to do when Chinese EV brands like BYD finally land in the US. Tesla is basically cooked.

I guess that's not surprising, he seemed pretty smart but I always hated him for enabling hackers on the PS3 lol.

Elon is crazy don't get me wrong, but how is his pay package BS?

The shareholders voted on it twice now. Why does some judge get to neg on it? And she comments that someone shouldn't need that much money? How is that relevant to the case?

For all the bat shit stuff elon does and says, this pay package dispute is horrid. Just pay the man what he deserves and what was promised to him.

How is his pay package unfair either? It's like if you worked for a company who made $1M a year, and then you promised to 10x that company to 10M a year, and your compensation was $5M after you hit that target, but you wouldn't be paid the $5M until after five years....

How is that unfair? People are crazy.

https://time.com/7008431/tim-walz-dui-drunk-driving/

Not sure where to put this but VP candidate Tim Walz got a DUI in 1995 where he was caught driving his 1995 Miata at 96mph in a 55mph zone.

Wow: Tim Walz owned a Miata.
Good: He drove it like he stole it. 96mph in a NA? Damn homie.
Bad: DUI

Quote:
The officer at the scene noted that Walz’s silver Miata was going 96 miles per hour in an area where the speed limit was 55. When Walz saw a car pull out quickly behind him, he sped up thinking someone was chasing him, Walz’s lawyer explained to the court. Walz stopped when the officer turned on the patrol car’s flashing lights.

After his arrest, Walz’s license was suspended for 90 days. He offered to resign his teaching job at Alliance High School, but the principal talked him out of it, according to court documents. The judge in the case agreed to reduce the charge from a DUI to reckless driving and fine Walz $200 plus court costs.

It's a nothing story, 1995? Fuck outta here, who cares.

Not many people offer to resign their position over something like that either.

Because he stacked his board with sycophants who do not appear to have a fiduciary duty for their shareholders.

Let's just assume you're right. He stacked his board.

The shareholders still had to vote on his pay package. And they voted to accept it twice.

They even voted to pass it after all this stuff came to light...

It's crazy that anyone sees a problem with this.
