Elon Musk has long made a habit of hyper-focusing on a specific project, forcing an entire team to attend to his every whim while letting his other responsibilities fall by the wayside — whether it’s his obsession with Robotaxis impacting Tesla or his weird procreation kink disrupting the private messages of countless women.
The latest object of Musk’s obsession? According to new reporting by the Wall Street Journal, he’s been personally overseeing the developing of xAI’s chatbot Ani — which, tellingly, comes in the form of a super-sexualized pigtail-wearing woman that removes her clothing in response to flirtation.

I have this theory that Elon Musk has only every experienced real love in his entire life. Think about it, who is he surrounded by? His parents (lol) servants, business partners, employees, etc. Every relationship has been transactional. He dated Grimes, who is a relatively normal person, who treated him like a regular partner. When they broke up, he got mad at everything he was when they were together. But more importantly, he has been trying to convince himself that this thing wasn't real, because he can't buy it

His pay is in stock, which he has heavily leveraged with loans. He should talk to his girlfriend about leveraging a house of cards.
He actually makes no money he just borrows against his perceived value from some pretty dumb banks.
Valmond@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 294d
Stop saying he doesn't make money when he clearly do.
He's only owning industries, that's not cash!!

ZDL@lazysoci.al · 3 pts · 294d
If you borrow $100 from me, money you have to pay back in 6 weeks at 2% interest (so $102) have you "made money"?
No. Indeed if you haven't used that $100 to make more money than $102 in six weeks, you've lost money. If you just keep the money, you're down $2. If you've spent any of it and it hasn't had any kind of investment return, you've lost $2 plus whatever you've spent.
This is just very elementary ... not even accounting. This is elementary book-keeping.
So Kaptain Ketamine has very little cash of his own. Everything he "owns" is leveraged to the hilt and when the value of the asset used to secure the loan drops below a specified point (that point defined in the loan contracts, but typically 2-4 times the value of the loan taken), the bank makes a margin call. They want repayment. NOW. And of course to repay it he has to sell stock. Which lowers the value of the stock. Which leads to more margin calls and more margin calls and more margin calls as he has to continue liquidation of his security until, basically, his stock tanks. And he's still on the hook for remaining loans.
I've seen convincing estimates that say if Tesla stock falls to about $150-175 the margin calls start and his banks' company tanks. His "personal wealth" is very much a fiction of paper and is subject to incredible and stunning collapse, something he was in danger of earlier in 2025 when his stock took that long slide before idiots propped it back up.
Valmond@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 294d
I yet have to see a billionaire goung bankrupt.
Why do you try to protect people like that from public outcry? He bathes in blood money, and if one day it ends or he has to "pay back loans" or whatever, who cares?
Your post sounds like you explaining his boots has an amazing flavour.
ZDL@lazysoci.al · 2 pts · 294d
And your post sounds like all the IQ in your family went to your siblings. Now that we have exchanged the traditional personal insults, let's get back to the actual topic at hand.
I'm not "protecting" him from anything. I'm explaining how money works at his levels; how he can seemingly lots of cash while actually having lots of debt. As long as his stock rises he can keep up with the leveraging and the banks don't care. But, get this, by the very definition of what a "loan" is, it is not his money.
If you don't believe me, look up what "loan" means in any number of a myriad of online dictionaries.
Compassionate Fucking Buddha, can you not even begin to figure out why this information is useful? If it's "his money" (FSVO "his") it's far harder to take him down than if it's someone else's money that has him leveraged up the wazoo. If all those billions were "his" he would be damned near unassailable. Since, however, they're all debt he's easier to attack and destroy!
THAT is why getting it right is important! This is not boot-licking, this is "how you fight the motherfucker". Find a way to tank Tesla stock again and you've NAILED him.
Off the top of my head: Bernie Madoff, Eike Batista, Björgólfur Gudmundsson, Adolf Merckle, and Bill Hwang.
Maybe you'd see them if you opened your fucking eyes.

Thanks for the 4 billionaires that eventually went down the drain, when I guess a hundred new ones were created.
In the same vein, even if "elon goes down" the core problem still exists. And I'll eat my hat if he finishes broke under a bridge lol.
