Oh hey!
When did I break 800 followers? Also, why do y'all follow me?!
We're at 944 by the way. What is wrong with you people?
OH HOLY SHIT WHEN DID WE BREAK 1K
Ahem
Okay, I have a request. Drop in the replies what, if you remember, drew you to my page and why you followed.
Okay, now that Tumblr cleared out the graves, we're just past 700. For those of you who remain, thank you.
Youre always so kind and gentle with me olive garden
ok this looks ultra mega based, are you kidding me? can you imagine the bullshit i could get up to with this bad boy? fuck yes i want ten
Wait are iPhone bros coping because Apple has to be more universal? Lol.
Boo hoo i'll be able to add more physical storage to my phone and be able to change out batteries if they degrade as well as all these other optional features I won't have to touch
Continuing in the trend of political cartoons depicting milquetoast moderate positions seem so much cooler and more badass than they are
I love how they add totally absurd things no one is asking for to make the idea look crazy. And still, I must emphasize, failing to make this look like a bad idea.
Almost all of these functions were present on Samsung devices until just a couple years ago. They did away with the 3.5mm headphone jack and SD card slot, and I hate it.
Also, the EU doesn't want them to have both USB-A and a 30-pin connector - they just want Apple to cut the shit with "proprietary" connection cables and get with the program, which is USB-C.
I want replaceable batteries back too, goddammit. Y'all have no idea how excited seeing that easily replaced battery pack in the Steam controller made me.
Uhhh...neither is it Elon's fault either.
Just because someone is rich doesn't make everything their fault. I know this is a very hard concept for you people to understand, but for your own sake, try exercising your brain.
Musk is actually the reason a lot of people can afford groceries, because he invested in several companies that have been wildly successful and in turn provide thousands and thousands of jobs.
Not saying he wouldn't do well to pay his people more, but it's not like he's hoarding food or creating artificial scarcity to line his own pockets either.
That would be the governments who are members of OPEC doing that as one easy example.
Hate the guy all you like, maybe just try to have a logical reason for it if you can.
he is literally hoarding money: the power to buy resources. There is only so much money. Every $10,000 elon has is a $10,000 someone else cannot have. Having more money than he can spend is directly leading to someone else having less money than they need.
>the power to buy resources.
That's not money.
>Every $10,000 elon has is a $10,000 someone else cannot have.
Except OP is about Elon's net worth, which is almost entire stocks. Not actual cash.
Stocks increase and decrease in value without affecting the money supply all the time.
>Having more money than he can spend is directly leading to someone else having less money than they need.
How? Define the mechanism.
If Elon makes a few more bucks, is someone else going to check their bank balance or wallet and find they have less dinero?
the power to buy resources is represented with money. What else would it be??
the only way to gain money is to convince someone else to give it to you. Or just take it. You cant just materialize money. There’s a finite supply of money. On purpose.
If elon (or you or me) makes a few bucks, yes it came directly out of someone’s wallet or bank account. When you go to the store you can observe this reality. The store cannot make money without you giving it to them. The workers cannot make money without the store giving it to them.
He doesn't have a trillion dollars, you half-eaten peanut. His net worth is a sum total of the value of all his businesses and stock investments - stock investments being money he gave to a business, who then used that money to obtain new building, equipment, and people to do the thing the company says they do.
He then receives a cut of the profits proportional to how many stocks he bought, which goes up when the company is more successful. He then takes that money and invests it into more stock, or additional property, or a hedge fund, or some other aspect of his portfolio. It's not just sitting in a vault somewhere - it's out being put into people's paychecks and taxes and being used to pay for things.

Are you deliberately ignoring the part where people's wealth often is in assets that are not money?
Including most of rich people's wealth?
Including Elon?
Or are you just incapable of comprehending anything that doesn't fit what you already want to believe?
Money is finite.Wealth isn't. Wealth fluctuates.
When people talk about "net worth", like OP, they're including wealth.
If I make a painting of some rando, and keep it, and a few weeks later that rando gets famous, the painting is instantly worth a lot more. No one lost money because something I had became more valuable and increased my net worth.
And just in case: you cannot go to a stockbroker and say "I'd like to turn these shares into money at the exact assessed face value, please." Partially because trying to sell a lot of shares often causes shares to drop in value.
And to answer your original question; you can actually buy things with other things that are not money, including stocks. It's just rare.
>#Mfers be so disconnected from reality they really ask#But um when someone gets paid does that mean someone else has less money??#Like yes duh think for a second dumbass#Fuck off
Most money isn't even real! It's just numbers in some database!
If your boss pays you a hundred bucks, that doesn't magically take a tiny fraction out of Elon's - or anyone else's - bank account!
I don't know why I'm remotely surprised a TERF has an extremely shaky grip on reality.
Net worth is not liquid capital, and cannot be "spent" as such. Musk is only valuated as a trillionaire because he holds controlling shares of Twitter. Your social media addictions are what gives this man his status.
I would be stunned if he has more than a hundred thousand in the bank at any time. He likely lives off credit cards that get paid off on the exact same day every month. Almost all of his wealth is invested in companies that employ people who then provide goods and services to other people. That makes the wealth in circulation.
The thing that’s always missing from the “women didn’t fight for the right to work they were already working they fought to get paid” is that many women also very much wanted to work.
Women wanted to be lawyers and engineers and chemists. They wanted to use their brains in challenging and interesting ways. They wanted to get the satisfaction from solving problems and inventing new shit and getting attention for it.
I know not everyone is born with intellectual curiosity or drive or determination but some people are and many of those people are women.
Literally.

Day 723 of reblogging videos of adorable elephants.
It ... it thanked it!
Elephant saved by vaguely elephant-shaped mecha. "Thank you, Iron Elephant!"
Guys, this is gonna get people harmed either by the electrical shorts or by data center security who are going to most likely employ lethal means.
I upset a few people in my intro to western philosophy class with this one.
sraight up petting it. and by it. i mean my area
have you guys heard about the greenland shark. some crazy shit happening there.
they are sexually mature at ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OLD.
their (live!) young gestate for. wait for it. eight to eighteen (??) YEARS. can have up to 10 at a time. good grief.
longest lifespan of any vertebrate, up to five hundred years
toxic flesh
has giant eyes but is usually blind because of a weird little crustacean that's evolved to live on and eat their eyes. this doesn't seem to bother them much.
lives in deep cold water and has the lowest swim speed and tail-beat frequency for its size across all fish species. just generally lives life in extreme slow motion
largest genome of any shark
eats everything including moose and polar bears
ma'am you are delightfully strange and I'm privileged to share a planet with you
this post prompted me to refresh my memory on Greenland Shark Facts and this detail about how they feed goes so hard
just vacuuming up their unsuspecting prey. whole !
Good news good news good news! Recent research suggests the eye parasites do NOT blind them!
Dorota Skowronska-Krawczyk sits in her office, eyes fixed on the computer monitor in front of her. "You see it move its eye," says the UC Ir
I <3 you a normal amount Greenland sharks

This is an awesome use of what is probably a master's degree if not a doctorate and I am 100% thrilled that she shared it even though it was embarrassing and she squeaked.
Thank you, adorable scientist, for making people's lives better.
As an Australian, THIS WOMAN IS A FUCKING GODSEND.
Oh my god, I did something very similar as a kid to aerate the steam out of the bathroom after I showered, or my glasses would fog up so much I couldn't see.

i stopped giving a shit about "legit" purchases of digital products after i spent $80 on the entire Dark Horse collection of Trigun/Trigun Maximum ebook mangas, learning that I only got access to reading them through a proprietary website ereader function, couldn't download them, and couldn't get a refund, and then literally only a year later, getting an e-mail stating that Dark Horse was shutting down that part of their company and I wouldn't even be able to read them anymore. Fuck that
Pirate shit. Don't feel bad for it. It's not "your fault" that artists, independent or otherwise, can't make a living. You downloading an album or ebook for free isn't the cause of the problem. The cause is capitalism, plain and simple, and pirating is a lucky loophole that companies are still trying to stomp out.
The cause is capitalism
Sigh.
Leftist, looking at State interference in the Free Market: This is Capitalism!!!
