I remember seeing Malcom Forbes riding in a giant hot air balloon and riding a motorcycle across China.

I remember seeing Richard Branson kite surfing with a super model

I remember this guy throwing a Na$i salute

The worst part is that I genuinely bought it until I saw which space this is.

With all the crazy shit so far this wouldn’t even surprise me.

That is too high of a price

He'd have to dye his hair implants and get some piercings to get even a drop of cool.

Honestly, I would prefer him just to have the $1 trillion. I’ve still got some self respect

Unbelievable quote for a Tesla shareholder...

And they have to tell him they think he's smart and his degrees are real.

Obviously fake. He’s going to take over a large country with that $1 trillion.

Finally something unrealistic enough for the Onion, again.

The sales targets for Elon's $1T payday are so astronomical and they've been set up in the face of enormous headwinds.

Certainly possible Elon uses the promise of a future payment as leverage on new loans, so he can continue debt-financing his billionaire lifestyle. But like so much else, this is promising you $$$ on Tuesday for a cheeseburger today. The board rubber stamped a check they have no intention of seeing cashed.

I had read they can overrule the requirements though?

Hey Elon. The really cool people died young. Just sayin' it's not too late for you.

Sorry, that would be fake news.

Muskrat will never be cool. He will always be a shit stain. No matter how much money this parasite gets, he will always be known as the Nazi-saluting PoS that he is...
