Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Vegas64 replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
Whatever condition we picture to ourselves, if we muster all the good things which it is possible to possess, royalty is the finest position in the world. Yet, when we imagine a king attended with every pleasure he can feel, if he be without diversion, and be left to consider and reflect on what he is, this feeble happiness will not sustain him; he will necessarily fall into forebodings of dangers, of revolutions which may happen, and, finally, of death and inevitable disease; so that if he be without what is called diversion, he is unhappy, and more unhappy than the least of his subjects who plays and diverts himself. -Blaise Pascal (Pensées, Section 139) -

@Hugo Stiglitz come tie off your thread you started and take a bow. -
I found myself in a Dollar General the other day in a pinch (it's the yellow and black one, I think that's DG) and was surprised they actually have a little fresh produce section in the front corner with the misters keeping the greens wet and everything. The executives must have gotten the memo that they are perceived as scum bags for only offering the poor doritos, little debbies and pop secret, but I was actually pretty surprised to see it.

Did Lockhart in E. Plano again just for the sausage. It's GOATED! That said, the ribs are awful. Like, really bad. Didn't even finish them. HEB has better ribs.

Where were you staying? I was refering to Ace of Spades and the Bryant Park Hotel.

Let me clock the tea for a second: He wasn't the student body president that year but he did try to get her kicked out of school for a problematic halloween tho. #teacup #fingershand

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]

I think Elon sucks too. I think truth in reporting the financial details and business aspects of the ordeal is a separate peace from Elon and in zero way, shape or form is an endorsement or support. The only "support" you can point to is the 75% of votes in favor of the pay package which is made up of a bunch of scared to death shareholders and 4chan stonk bro youtubers who make up his rather large retail shareholder base. If anything, I'm trying to throw cold water on Elon and his supporters pronouncing his trillion dollar pay package a win as it's not even close to that (and as a byproduct throwing cold water on those who want to be offended he got a [fake] trillion dollar pay package, I guess). -
I've stayed at that hotel often (despite my earlier pronouncements of being poor and only looking at Bonvoy chain hotels). Love the location and it feels stereotypical NY to me with the bathrooms and views, the only thing I don't like about that hotel is that it feels like a long walk away from a proper bagel and breakfast. You have the Zucker's bagels close by and it's pretty mid but other than that the pastry cafe on the corner (Ole & STeen) there is buttcheeks, as the kids say.

Agreed, I'm just saying can we be honest about "They are paying him ONE TRILLION dollars!" in that it seems like that there are astronomically low odds he will ever get to the milestones required to unlock those 12 traunches. To wit and from NYT this AM: I get that the overwhelming stench of Elon is nauseating but we ought to leave room for honestly framing these things IMO rather than the clickbait "TRILLIONAIRE!" headlines that 99% of people don't dig into. -

Serious question; do you understand that Elon Musk is not being given $1T dollars? He's being given 12% of the company, which today is worth (before AHT) somewhere in the neighborhood of $1.54T. That means it's worth $180bn today. If he can, somehow and someway, grow Tesla to $8.33 trillion valuation (60% larger than Nvidia at it's most bubbliest, by the way), then by that miracle he would have a $1 Trillion dollar package. The framing of this narrative is silly. That's all, I'll see my way out. -

What's it take to be an ATC? Can I get my shifty, no good, bum of a nephew a job? Just needs to show up and pee in a cup and look at radars? He plays a lot of video games and can maybe repurpose his screen time to look at blips and boops on radar screen? I think he finally got his bachelors... -

So.....it's the El Fenix (on Field St.) of BBQ joints? I don't say that to be cheeky but that's the first comparison I thought of when you said it's kind of an old staple of Dallas, not gonna knock anyone's socks off with the food, but good location and does numbers on private events like rehersal dinners and Christmas parties.

Are you talking about this? eta linky: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/health/obesity-drug-prices-trump.html Obesity Drugs May Drop to as Little as $149 a Month President Trump announced a deal with Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to lower prices on hugely popular weight-loss drugs for Medicare, Medicaid and American patients who pay with their own money.
