Don’t worry, his pregnant girlfriend, who was only pregnant because contraceptives were illegal, will die from complications easily solved other than the option being illegal, and he’ll be jailed for fetalcide because he couldn’t pray the problem away, and he’ll still be wondering where the actions are.

I disagree.

OP: The thread starts saying america isn’t perfect, but at least they can say what they want.

Reply: The reply is that Iran didn’t start that way either and with project 2025 were headed that way.

OP: Project 2025 is boogeyman scary stuff, stop trying to scare people and call me when they actually are doing something.

Me: They’re already murdering women.

He’s essentially brushing off the start of project 2025 saying the whole thing is talk, when we have actual actions already. (edit: We have every reason to expect more actions.) (edit: just to further clarify… project 2025 started before 2025, it’s a long term plan by the far right they’ve been working on implementing for a very long time)

Waiiiit, was it actually meant to be about import vs muscle, like that was it’s intention? Or did they just happen to do that.

You mean like how they’re murdering women by preventing life saving health care?

At least this dude said something. These women were killed for simply being a woman.

The action is already started.

I loved those movies but they went way to hard into that suit in the later movies. I got ridiculous lol.

Tom Mueller the person who was at SpaceX at the start would wholly disagree with you and says so online, as have other people, but instead people just say they are saving face and rely on anonymous sources to say he does jack all.

So like I said, ignorance.

It’s blissful sure, but it’s ignorance.

Edit: there are plenty of reasons to hate and dunk on the dude, but people love to enhance it with stuff like he doesn’t and never did do anything to make their hate seem even more worthy. All it does though is make you look ignorant.

On the social media front Elon literally knows nothing, but it’s impossible to deny that he hasn’t helped build 2 companies that know how to manufacturer complex hardware at scale. To deny that just shows ignorance.

So while Intel has so many problems, and there’s the whole politics disaster side of things, he might not actually cause the end of Intel from a hardware perspective.

Unidentified Drone - identify yourself or we will shoot you down with feathers!

/operator/ feathers? Dammit, is there even a drone there or is that also a hallucination.

We might get a video of the white house’s defence systems shooting it down instead.

Microsoft’s

I would have sworn you wrote McDonalds the first time, and I was like wtf went on there that I had no idea about, until you got to the 2nd Microsoft.

The shareholders chose to do it, it’s their company, they can do whatever they want with it (as long as they weren’t misled as the judge has ruled they were).

Trying to control what the shareholders do with their company like that is not the way to solve a problem. And if you don’t own any voting shares, then you have no reason to complain about what they decide to do.

The payment comes out of their pocket, by the devaluation of their stock, when the options are issued and vested. They went into it knowing they’d make a shit load of money if he pulled it off, and he’d make a shit load of money too. The stock has 25x’d since the package was created.

Edit: Just to be clear here - A better way would be through a high tax bracket that would eat the vast majority of that away forcing him to sell most of the shares (or I guess alternatively sell SpaceX shares, it’d be his choice), but keep in mind it’d be at the rate when each set vests, so it’s not a tax bill on 55b, it’s a series of tax bills on smaller amounts.

TIL, thanks.

I wonder if NATO is going to try and enforce a blockade where any ship travelling through the area of cables must be escorted.

A Delaware judge recently invalidated the pay package, citing insufficient shareholder approval.

I don’t know if this is the article (its pay walled), or AI since it’s a summary, or maybe OP, but this is a terrible reporting of what happened.

The pay package was supposed to be independently created by the board, but it was found out that Elon had a heavy hand in proposing it, including the people helping him craft it. Now, I don’t think this is bad per say, but then the board was supposed to independently vet it, but the board wasn’t really deemed independent, and who they used had ties to Musk. Further, it wasn’t properly disclosed what involvement Musk had in crafting the package in the first place.

The failure to properly disclose all of this made the shareholder vote void. Had they disclosed it, and had it been approved, it would have been okay.

It had nothing to do with not having insufficient shareholder approval.
