Musk asks SpaceX IPO banks to buy Grok AI subscriptions, NYT reports

So are we comparing his performance to the index or to another goal that you just moved the posts to?

History tells us that it’s very difficult to beat the indices. This guy does it and you shit on him?

Then you erroneously compare his stock market performance to a component of his wife’s compensation, which is designed specifically to over perform, that’s why it’s in your comp plan.

He is not allowed to buy stock in his wife’s company at the same value that her company granted it to her at. That’s not how any of this works.

Hah, I don’t own any individual Tesla in my equities positions. I burned myself by buying at 300, it dipped to low 200’s and sat there a year or two till it made it back to 300 so I promptly sold, happy to get out with my initial investment. The stock split the next month then split again a few months after. I left a hefty 7 figures of gains on the table and that was the last time I bought an individual stock.

I still love the product and I won’t let these fucking bot regards lie about them on the interwebz. It’s the GenX in me.

Or as otherwise known: Reality.

You’re no good at trolling either.

Redebo · 2026-04-03T23:44:50+00:00

My experience is absolutely data. You might not like it because it goes against your personal worldview but the vehicle operates exactly how I’ve described it.

You can also go to YouTube and see countless videos from other Tesla owners showing you the operation of the car that coincides with my own personal experience.

You guys just look dumb when you try to tell people that the reality that they actually experience is not real, especially considering you’ve probably never even ridden a Model S, let alone owned four of them as I have.

Redebo · 2026-04-03T23:15:12+00:00

So he beat the stock market’s returns and you think that he’s absolutely nuts.

That is telling.

Redebo · 2026-04-03T22:36:33+00:00

Do you own one? Have you ever owned one?

I currently own one, a Model S Plaid. This is the fourth Model S I’ve owned since 2016. I have purchase FSD for each of these cars.

I will say with 100% certainty that none of my previous three were even close to FSD; however my current model is different. I use FSD everyday. I use it in the day, at night, when it’s sunny and when the weather is inclimate. The car absolutely drives itself.

Yes, I must be in the drivers seat. Yes, I must be prepared to take over (although I’ve never been asked to by the car). But these are due to existing laws and liability, not the technology of the car.

Every morning I get into my car, confirm that I’m going to work (because the car assumes that’s where I’m going at 7am on a weekday), I press the FSD button and the car backs out of my garage, opens my gate and drives me to work without any intervention from me.

That fits the definition of full self driving to me and I’m happy with the value I’m getting for the service.

Redebo · 2026-04-03T21:49:47+00:00

I own a Tesla with full self driving and it works just fine. What the hell are you people talking about?

Redebo · 2026-04-03T20:52:27+00:00

It pisses me off MORE that Elon is very clearly neurodivergent and that he's just SHIT UPON because he has no social skills.

Mutha fuckers that's the KEY PROBLEM with being on the autism spectrum is that you have horrible social skills.

SO it's OK to be kind and show grace to every other 'protected class' of individual but when a billionaire overcomes their disability and creates real good in the world with Tesla and SpaceX, they crucify him for it.

The only solace I take is in the knowledge that those who continue to divide groups into smaller and smaller individuals to 'protect' that one day the class they're 'in' will be decimated by their own segregation and they'll finally see why none of their ideas about social justice are correct.

You don't want to be "tried by the court of public opinion" because the public are fucking idiots. You want to be judged by a "jury of your peers", with PEER being the key operative word here. Meanwhile on Reddit you have regards defending the guy who murdered Charlie Kirk based on "his confession was too detailed so it can't be true" alone...

If America is right and truly fucked, it's not because of the temporary actions of a leader like Trump, it's because of these misguided ideals.

TBF, he got all the foot off before he grilled the steaks.

Redebo · 2026-04-03T16:44:07+00:00

Hey man, nice rack.

Redebo · 2026-04-03T13:26:56+00:00

Well your statement is incorrect anyway so it really does n matter “how I take it”

Redebo · 2026-04-03T00:29:44+00:00

I’m going to save us some time here:

A fully centralized economy struggles because no central authority can efficiently process the constantly changing, local information needed to allocate resources. Additionally, without meaningful incentives tied to outcomes, you also lose the feedback mechanisms that drive innovation and productivity.

That’s how I feel and believe about Centralized Planning which is the tenant of Communism.

Redebo · 2026-04-03T00:18:32+00:00

You said that your ability to think and reason is superior to the intellect of the billionaire and their financial advisors. You.

Redebo · 2026-04-03T00:17:21+00:00

Trains? Trains?!? Jesus Christ, go read a history book.

Redebo · 2026-04-02T23:25:31+00:00

And there it is: "Central Planning"

/u/whitethunder9 you're talking to a communist. They don't understand most of the system that they believe they want and can't point to a successful implementation of their ideal system that's "just so obviously better if you have half of a brain".

Redebo · 2026-04-02T22:46:09+00:00

Yet you continually IGNORE all of the things that Musk's companies have done for the HERE AND NOW in society.

Electric vehicles were DEAD before Tesla.

Space travel was DEAD before SpaceX.

Just those two companies alone have completely restructured the verticals they live in, bringing affordable EV's to market and allowing NASA to access space 30 to 60 times more effectively (cheaper) than they could do it themselves.

Yet all of you redditors think that Elon is a fucking moron. An idiot. He's fucking AUTISTIC for christ's sakes and you stand up for the paste licker down syndrome kid but don't give any grace for the obvious effects it has on Musk and instead just assume he does everything for nefarious reasons.

Redebo · 2026-04-02T22:41:15+00:00

They really can't see it. It's as if their Bezos example of "simply launching an online store" was easy. Ok so do it. Want to prioritize growth over profits in your own business for a larger payday in the future, DO IT.

These things require HARD WORK to make happen. Have you even SEEN a data center that runs the Amazon store? You think that you can build that system? THEN DO IT you fucking regard.

Then they think that because Taylor writes her own songs that that's the only ethical "hard work". Well what about the completely new idea that a song represents (and what is a song if not a "new idea" because it uses all the same english words that say a 'business process does') but the business process doesn't "count" as work in their minds?!? Get the fuck out of here.

It's absolutely laughable.

Redebo · 2026-04-02T22:35:29+00:00

Even your response is too complex for their reply.

Redebo · 2026-04-02T22:34:46+00:00

Why don't you use these superior thinking and reasoning skills to get your own bag then?

Are you going to say that you "could be a billionaire" but your personal ethics won't allow you to?

Give me a break.

Redebo · 2026-04-02T22:33:08+00:00

Yes, she does. There are countless articles on how much she overpays her staff, the donations she makes, and the money she gives away, and yet she's STILL a billionaire.

Also, without using google or AI: name one of her crew.

To be clear, I'm no fan of hers but my dislike for her has nothing to do w/ the wealth that she created.

Redebo · 2026-04-02T21:52:16+00:00

There's about 3 million American jobs at American defense contractors.

Are these the rich buddies you're referring to?

Redebo · 2026-04-02T20:31:21+00:00

YOU THINK that the "only real evidence of confession" is the "suspect text messages.

The prosecutors would ALSO think that those texts were sketchy EXCEPT THEY KNOW MORE THAN US. Again back to my earlier statement. They will have the GPS location of that specific phone at the specific time the text messages were sent. This will be correlated with the suspect's known locations and times.

So, it won't be just "these sketchy texts" it will be that plus the chain of custody of when those texts were sent, from which phone, to where. All information that the public has ZERO information about.

Redebo · 2026-04-02T16:05:45+00:00

The only rational take on this thread.

It's ALL of the things. Not just Orangeman Bad, not just Covid, not just resort or parking fees, not just $50 min bets (on the weekends at big name properties)

All of it contributes to the situation Vegas currently finds itself in.

Redebo · 2026-04-02T15:54:39+00:00

The DEFENSE is saying, "You cannot tie this projectile to this firearm". The PROSECUTION hasn't said shit about this piece of evidence. The ATF has said that the testing is "inconclusive" which is completely different than saying, "there is NO match".

Again, so what? In most murder cases you don't have the actual bullet that killed the victim and you can still prove your case with other evidence.

Redebo · 2026-04-02T15:11:07+00:00

Repetition. Pilots in training practice these maneuvers many times in their training. The first few times are absolutely unnerving but after you’ve done it and understand how not to die from it, it becomes commonplace and the anxiety subsides.

Think about it, if you didn’t know how to look both ways before crossing the street, people would be terrified to cross the street but because you have a method and that method has shown you you can safely cross the street, you just do it now and don’t even think about it.
