Name a quote you like that was spoken by a person you don't like.

"You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality." -Ayn Rand

I hate almost everything about Rand but that quote is a true winner.

To make an embarrassing admission, I like video games. That's what got me into software engineering when I was a kid. I wanted to make money so I could buy a better computer to play better video games - nothing like saving the world. - ELON MUSK

@Prisoner69 Interesting quote. I also hate Elon Musk, so we're in agreement.

@BlueMetalChick Come on blue, Musk is going to save us from ourselves just like Shultz from Starbucks.

@jackson55 The ultimate sarcasm lol

@BlueMetalChick I don't hate. I just don't like him.

Too overrated. Tesla's stock is as valued (if not higher) than most car companies even GE which make billions of dollars of profit per year.

You know what Tesla made? Half a billion dollars worth of losses.

There are shit load of problems with their product itself and they aren't anywhere close by now to make it available cheaply.

Even inspite of maintaining all his companies he seem to find time to make comments on twitter that are kinda stupid because he gets I to argument for no good reason.

He is a really good entrepreneur but extremely overrated.

[@ Tesla the car company has not made a dime. Without the government subdivies it wouldn't exist.

@GeistInTheMachine why don't I find shit like this in general on YouTube 😆

@Prisoner69 I don't care about Tesla. It's SpaceX that I have a problem with. Musk is absolutely decimating the space program and setting us back a long ways by ensuring that no government funded space agency or scientific research institution will be able to get congressional funding for the next thirty years, and he's allowed the US military to completely overrun and take control of this country's space exploration. Meaning now instead of conducting real research and doing real science, we're gonna spend a few decades launching spy satellites and orbital missile prototypes just so the military industrial complex can get richer.

@Prisoner69 Haha. Chapo Trap House is a great podcast. Give it a listen.

@BlueMetalChick so being a finance guy, I like bets.

If elon musk and his companies crash and burn in the next five years, will you suck my dick?

BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F

@Prisoner69 Well seeing as how I'm pretty much sexually inert, that wouldn't be such a bad thing lol.

Prisoner69 · 26-30, M

@BlueMetalChick ok we have a bet. Good.
