I suggest we yank Musk from his billions, give him a "regular" job at Walmart, and then see whether he feels like "saving for retirement".

The world is F'd

I remember in the middle of the DOGE mess, he was quoted as saying he found it suspect that there were many federal employees who make $100K per year and yet have a net worth in the millions, and considered it self-evident proof that there was some sort of mass theft from taxpayers or graft going on. It did not seem plausible to him that people could (mathematically) or would (patience wise) spend decades slowly saving and investing to accumulate that amount of money. That was when I started to wonder if he might not actually be that smart.

You are that boys and girls lol. So stop asking whether you have enough saved for retirement. You don't have to worry about it. Now go ahead and book that $20k trip to the Maldives.

He single-handily f'ed up the govt. Why should I listen to that f'ker?

Behold, Elon musk, the prophet

With all of Elon Musk's efforts to avoid taxation on his billions, I would doubt that. He would be happy to let most of us starve in the name of eugenics.

They likely mean that a huge monetary/currency system overhaul is overdue and is happening before we retire. Money as we know it will go away. It will be all tokenized. Including all your assets, like RE, stocks, etc, even natural resources. Your labor is also going to be tokenized. And definitely there will have to be some sort of UBI or there will be mass rebellions when masses of people have nothing to lose. They aren't going to make it so that people are that desperate. Several companies are deep into tokenization already, some names you never heard. Crypto was just a trial run, but it's going to be another level.

It is good that other companies are starting to compete with Tesla. This is good for Tesla as well. It is good for America. It means that other companies are accepting the technology that will drive the future. Whatever happens, Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and xAI, have had a BIG impact on the future of communications, cars, satellites, robotics, etc. And that impact has and will move us forward as a country and as a world.

They cannot compete with Tesla until they have full self driving. It's not about electric cars only. Tesla's main product now is their FSD, which is subscription based starting Feb for people who haven't purchased their cars with it and had it grandfathered. Anyone who had tried FSD and uses it will never buy another electric vehicle that doesn't have it. No matter how nice they make them, they are ancient technology without FSD and feel like horse and buggy.

Its sad these people have the money they do, just sad.

Well it’s good Tesla competed with the leaders. Tesla is 3rd in both production and technological advancement.
