First, huge general agreement. The cringe of these people has gone right off the charts since Trump demonstrated how to distract from real crimes by saying heinous shit.
Second, a couple tiny points:
1. "Musk speaks like a man who believes his own insane conspiratorial guff" because's he's a con artist. Speaking with confidence is core to the con; always has been.
2. Bryan isn't known for using "electric shocks" on his little Johnson. They're acoustic shocks; so put the TENS machine back in the closet.
- boringg 2y agoId say it’s tough to call elon musk a con artist. Many other names might apply but that one not so much.
- xbmcuser 2y agoThe more he talks on subjects that people are actually knowledgeable on the more people realize he is a con artist. Looking at his recent paying for ranking on games just to get gamer cred shows.
- boringg 2y agoI mean thats a majority of the population and most executives. Con artist is possibly the most inaccurate title for him thats all. Clearly he has built and delivered multifold.
- xbmcuser 2y agoSo if you do 1 thing correctly and use your popularity to con about other things that does not make you a con artist?
- boringg 2y agoNo. What con are you even trying to say here? Bernie Madoff is a good example of a con artist - he promised you a return on your money but was engaged in a Ponzi scheme.
- xbmcuser 2y agohttps://elonmusk.today/ https://elonmusk.today/ He conned people with Fsd for years that was a con. He lied about funding for Tesla going private was a con. He has lied or bluffed for financial gain multiple times from what I can see is that not a con artist?
- boringg 2y agoOh you mean growing a company to the most selling cars per year car company on the planet amongst other companies - while under insane short pressure? Con artist is not that but thanks for your input.
- xbmcuser 2y agoah no real argument so you can do the same like he does and wave it away yeah thanks.
- bdangubic 2y agoone of THE biggest con-artists to ever live (but also maybe just a good salesman of vaporware…) https://motherfrunker.ca/fsd/ https://motherfrunker.ca/fsd/
- boringg 2y agoNo, thats not a con. Thats overselling.
- bdangubic 2y agoand the difference is…? he is “overselling” 100+ forward P/E ratio conning people to pay $400+/share for a company worth about $54/share… con-job if there ever was one :)
- boringg 2y agoI mean you sound exactly like the Tesla shorts back when Tesla was starting out. You obviously have a position and you dislike him - which is understandable. He doesn't fall into a con artist category. Nothing you’ve said here is a con artist if it is even believed ti be accurate in the first place. FSD took longer but it delivered. Thats not a con artist- thats development delays
- bdangubic 2y agoI could not give two shits about him, I have a life and family to spend my time on, not worry or care about him. I am an investor though… and FSD not only did not deliver but it is downright funny to me thinking that it did… https://motherfrunker.ca/fsd/ https://motherfrunker.ca/fsd/ https://electrek.co/2025/01/13/elon-musk-misrepresents-data-that-shows-tesla-is-still-years-away-from-unsupervised-self-driving/ https://electrek.co/2025/01/13/elon-musk-misrepresents-data-...
