They just paid fucking 60 billion dollars to him to keep him from quitting. Maybe a smidge of sunk cost fallacy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

Good. Let them drown with their sinking ship. They enabled his power grab in the first place and decided something as perverted and absurd as granting a single man $60 billion. Let this be a lesson in history books.

Sigh. Fuck Elon. I hope the piece of shit goes bankrupt. Probably wont happen though :/

If trump had lost the election, he would be in jail and Elon would have been destroyed. Instead, we got… this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

yup. It's a sad state of affairs right now :/

I think Elon would have been better off if Trump lost. I dunno though. He bought Twitter for 44 billion, and that seems to have let him buy the presidency for a mere 200 million. So maybe it's money well spent.

Did that actually get paid out? Last I heard the judge said no, multiple times.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yep. There was another shareholder vote and he won it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 51 minutes ago (1 children)

No. As of 7 days ago, he has not been paid the $50 billion. The judge's order is holding for now.

Oh huh. I just remember him winning the new shareholder vote for which I believe the stakes were "gimme money or I leave" despite there being no legal requirement to pay him.

the honeymoon from the election is just wearing off.
