  • This is a really lazy take. The elite have forever wanted to control the common people through the manipulation of laws, economy, news,etc. That’s why the Saudis put up the majority of the loan to enable Elon to buy it…so they could gain control over public dissent and white wash their abhorrent public image.

    Meanwhile, Elon’s a glorified troll with a god complex, who wants to build his own clubhouse for more extreme right wing content.







  • It’s used so interchangeably these days that I’m inclined to say no, but an oversimplication is that a ponzi scheme is always illegal and is more detailed in its mechanics (as named after conman Charles Ponzi). Wheras a pyramid scheme (or more commonly known: MLM) can actually be legal depending on how it’s constructed.

    A ponzi scheme involves a conman who scams his customers by taking massive profits from their investors and requires a constant stream of new investors to pay off the old ones. This is fraud.

    A pyramid scheme usually involves some type of product and pays huge bonuses to the recruiters at the top for bringing in more people below them from the investment of new people below them. This is taxing uneducated people but can be legal.

    TLDR: capitalism is more akin to a pyramid scheme and not at all like a ponzi scheme.


  • This is the argument someone makes who hasn’t used a flagship Samsung device in at least 5 years.

    One UI is one of my favorite OS’s and usually has features months if not years before stock Android. I get OTA updates every month like clockwork and have even had beta versions of new Android OSs before Pixel users. I’m typing on a Fold 4 and my user experience is somehow smoother than when I purchased it. You cannot say the same for a Pixel or iPhone.




  • That’s kinda the point of his character ark. It takes till the end for him to really show us who he is deep down. Also, RDJ nailed the balance of ego and redeeming qualities.

    But Elon is not the hero of any story. He’s the evil child playing with a magnifying glass on an anthill and he views everyone but him as an ant.

    Fuck Elon and I can’t wait till the Saudis come to collect on that $44B they loaned him.
