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.

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.

that's the important part, not the knowledge of tech: you need to sell.
>spends most of his time on Xitter or playing video games.
you fell for the lies lmao. rich people have teams of marketing people writing shit for them.
also, from comments I've read, he hires other people to play (and win) games for him.

Why would I want to work for people I don't like? Why would I want to hire people I don't like? Why would I want to work in the first place? Least of all, why would I aspire to be a shyster? I assume that sounds exciting for people in the cult of Hermes or worshippers of Baal, but I have no interest in those things, and even if I did I wouldn't want the attention of people who already make those industries insufferable.

I have clear evidence of being scammed relating to a paypal purchase and they simply close the case and there is nobody I can speak to or go to because it's just a fucking website/payment processor, they aren't a bank.

Pro tip: Send a letter to their legal department, just have AI draft it for you. They’ll do a calculation on whether they just want to settle with you for whatever amount is, and it’s based on whether it’s worth their time to fight you. Typically you get your way.

I know it sounds cheesy, but it’s actually one of those ‘lifehacks’ that works. I had a local franchise citing corporate policy for refusing (incorrectly) to honor a warranty and this approach resolved it within two days. Companies just often default deny you because 95% of the time customers don’t even push back to defend themselves.

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.
If all the good people are in the backroom then all the bad people can take all the money.

Correction: he doesn't play videogames. Musk is an incredibly talented bullshit artist. Dario, Sam, Zuckerberg, Jensen, nobody has that level of ability to lie and have a room/investors captivated. Steve Jobs wasn't even close to as good as Musk. Every 30u30 fraudster gets caught eventually but Musk is untouchable.

Yeah he's probably decently high verbal IQ.

You don't seriously believe that Elon Musk himself designed the Tesla factories, or any of "his" factories for that matter, do you?
Your little token autist got endlessly rich through Paypal and I hit the nail on the fucking head.

You think asskissers at your job genuinely believe in every bullshit coming out of your boss's mouth?
No, they pretend to to remain in his good graces.
The same goes for investors.
They pretend to believe in Musk's lies because he is proven to be in the close proximity of the money printer.
People don't fall for big lies, they "fall" for lies backed with big money.
Just look at all those assholes in this picture.
Do you honestly think they believed wearing heavy crap on your head to access shitty second life clone was the future?
Of course not, but everyone played along because everyone wanted a portion of those facebook billions to trickle into their pockets.

>>108653313
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. Once the dollar collapses which is looking increasingly likely china will open their market to $BRICS and our P/Es will fall to like 1 or 2 which will wipe out (currently) 65 trillion -> 3T . But probably more like ~100T->4T at the time.

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.

getting rich is all about networking, marketing, being a psychopath, having no empathy for people you will fuck over to get to your goals, and being able to convince other people to throw their money at you
not about your actual skills

NTA but you're goalpost shifting
There is clearly a distinction between Musk lead companies and "traditional" ones.
Not a single company would have built something like Giga Texas under 2 years
Giga Shanghai was done in ten months and building cars.
I've yet to see any company build such large scale facilities so quickly in modern times. To say Musk has nothing to do with them because he personally wasn't out there laying pipe is disingenuous.

He doesn't play video games at all and just hires people to play games for him to troll retards. That's pretty based and the reaction from gamers has only made them look even more pathetic.

"net worth" is really just tied up in illiquid assets
for elon musk, its all in stock of massively overvalued companies
he cant even sell off a significant portion without the illusion shattering and the value tanking
meanwhile microsoft is valued normally, its market cap is pretty real

When you want to suggest something other people should do to succeed, you should assume:
- They don't have more than $20 to their name
- They don't have relatives who can help them
- They don't have any social connections
And they still need to pay rent and buy food every day.

All billionnaires have 1 thing in common, they are never content/happy with their situation. The mindset that allowed them to get that rich is also the one that makes it impossible to enjoy that money.

the guy has like 15 kids and 3 wives that hate him
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
IMO its not worth it, better to just be an employee at a smaller company or start your own small / mid size company

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.

>>108658137
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.
