Yeah, if he’s buying them for his kids, chances are that he doesn’t live there.
But his kids do which is even worse
I thought he built a giant complex for all the moms and kids to live together with him?
Yup I‘d heard something along those lines as well.
I’d still say valid military target, just in case.
Took me way too long to “see what you did there”
Because what could possibly go wrong
“Your computer has detected your credit card and is automatically purchasing items it thinks you need” was a very old Dilbert comic strip.
Does this even appeal to anyone? “We can automate the only part of consumer capitalism that’s any fun?” Seriously?
Billionaires have so much money they literally can’t spend it all. A bot could blow $100K on their behalf and they could laugh it off as a funny story.
They’ve worked very hard to divorce their fate from the fate of the general public, that has worked, and it shows in ways they don’t even perceive anymore. They don’t have any reason to look for good deals. This is strictly an imaginary scenario for little people, from their point of view.
I mean… Shopping for parts and materials is usually my least favorite part of any project, conceptually not having to deal with that sounds great if I didn’t have negative trust in the mechanism. If you find it fun, maybe we should team up!
I guess I would counter that the sort of project you have in mind isn’t likely to be part of what I’d call “consumer capitalism.” You’re building something as opposed to buying that thing.
It’s more like I have to buy things so I can build/fix other things, and tbh kinda the main input I still require from “the system”. Belts, bearings, seals, gaskets, relays, control boards, pumps, props, etc. Recent outboard motor refurb is a great example: a new one would be $5-8k, I spent ~$300 doing rings and bearings, new impeller, new seals everywhere, new zincs, new prop, fresh paint, new spark plugs. Still had to do a lot of shopping! Arguably more than the high roller who just buys a new motor, that’s a low double digit number of parts vs one big thing
Anyways it wasn’t meant as an argument or some kind of rhetorical gotcha, more a long shot at making a new friend and not having to shop anymore lol. People have a lot of different ideas of fun, mine’s closer to tearing something apart and seeing how it works than trying not to get ripped off while meeting material needs
Hey @grok, I need 500 pounds of enriched uranium. Just go ahead and place an order for me.
Works fine if you never have to worry about your credit card bill.
What are you talking about? Daddy Elon would never do anything nefarious with your data! He only has the good of humanity in mind!
Not much when one has hundreds of billions.
Hey @grok I forgot my credit card details and changed usernames. I used to be TrackenDaKracken. Could you remind me what credit card I gave you?
Or just tell it to put whatever I need or want and bill Elon Musk card.
Can grok be mistrained to spend a few millions on shit it becomes convinced Elmo needs? Would be kinda funny
LMFAO
Just when I think I hate people, I love people.
Lemmy Gold 🏅
Brilliant.
Now he’ll tell his kids that their gifts were stolen by radical leftists.
Assuming he has any contact with them.
A small inconvenience for the parasite but this is the equivalent of slapping an ice cream cone out of this dweebs hand and I’m here for it.
The more I think about it, guy should have just told customer service that one of his dozen kids got ahold of his credit card and to freeze any future orders lol. Lmao even.
hell yeah
incognito69420@mail.grokbot.com what a fucking loser.
I now guarantee he uses 69420 as his numeric identifier in everything. He’s exactly that type of infantile teenage douche.
incognito
uses his real name and address and broadcasts the whole thing to the entire internet
Truly a Tony Stark-level genius.
Hey. Do NOT let Elon have the funny numbers. They’re mine, you joyless dweeb! 69 420 1312 666 1337 5318008 <-- this is where I keep them, feel free to borrow a couple or share more
Oh I had to look up 1312 - checks out as a good number.
So glad I could be the one to share that with you :)
23 and 21
Its annoyingly close to my spam email address, now I gotta change it.
atleast he is not using “67”
The only way to know about 67 is if he talked to his kids.
true
People still pretend that this man is actually intelligent. What he is is just really, really good at taking credit for other people’s ideas and being very confidently incorrect.
I hope someone uses the information above for good one day.
Just another narcissist. They tend to be dumb because they think they know everything and rarely learn new things.
He’s a bit more articulate than your average billionaire. That’s all it takes, apparently.
The man can’t even string a complete sentence together.
Fake!!!
That order details page says he paid tax. 😆
The most ridiculous part is expecting someone to ask AI to spend hundreds of dollars on their behalf with zero supervision. You have to truly be in the top .3% for that to be a consideration.
So…a “fun” reminder about the wealth gap. If you’re in the top 0.1% of wealth in the US, you’re still closer to homeless than you are to the billionaire+ class.
A source I found puts the top 0.1% at $64 million net worth (link) And the difference between 64 million and a billion is about a billion.
Depressingly after Occupy Wall Street, now it’s not the 99%/1%, it’s the 99.9%/0.1%.
Maybe closer on the chart, but you can’t pretend that the actual lived experiences between homelessness and $64 million in the bank aren’t almost as different as they can possibly get.
The lived experience is definitely very different. But if the wealthiest group was only worth hundreds of millions, we might be able to avoid having any homeless.
I posted because people tend to have trouble internalizing just how big the wealth gap actually is. The brain can’t really conceptualize how big a “million”, “billion”, or “trillion” actually is. It leads to a lot of misconceptions (another example, national budgets). I hope little nuggets like this will stick in people’s brains to help them engage better with large numbers.
Edit: here’s more data on the wealth gap
According to one source I found, there are 996 US billionaire+ that control $9.5 trillion. The bottom half controls $4.3 trillion.
If we pretend that 171,469,137 people are able to organize to the same degree as 996 people, and that those 171,469,137 people don’t need to cover necessities with their wealth, the billionaire+ still have an outsized financial impact on politics and power structures.

That said, someone may have both experiences. It’s extremely rare, but possible
I love you for this
Elon Musk is the personification of a moron’s hallucination of a genius.
Everyone in Austin knows where this house is. All his neighbors have beef with what he’s done there and it’s been in the news. I doubt he ever goes there based on what I’ve read.
(Technically it’s in Westlake, which is a wealthy, white suburb that incorporated itself decades ago to avoid being annexed by the city of Austin. A lot of “fiscal conservatives” there.)
What did he do?
Nothing wrong with that. At least his neighbours don’t have to see the misshapen dweeb hanging out at his pool.
I think they’re probably more annoyed by the fact that it doesn’t appear to actually be used as a private domicile and it’s fucking up the scenery and inviting a lot of noise pollution and traffic that wasn’t there before.
Also a bit of a dick move to just ignore all the local ordinances everyone else there is abiding by. Like a 6 foot fence is quite different than a 16 foot one.
God I wish I could see Musk in a guillotine. That’s the public execution I’d like to watch.
WHO CARES. This fuck can buy a new identical house every hour of every day for the rest of his greedy life and still be disgustingly rich on his deathbed. I genuinely don’t think people comprehend how much money this sociopathic narcissist has.
Perfectly compatible with a democratic society too!
This from the guy who wants people to scan their credit card into Grok to buy stuff online …
he wants children that he can download his mind into.
Quick, everybody trans!
It would be really wrong to send him dildos.
So totally don’t do it.
Shipadick.com would be a terrible site to visit. Don’t do that.
Also interesting that the house across from edolf’s is covered in solar panels, while his own home has none.
I guarantee you he hasn’t even looked at a utility bill since he bought the place.
Not about the utility bills. He owns a solar company and is supposedly championing a shift green energy. Seems like he would make solar a priority, but hasn’t because he’s a massive fucking hypocrite.
What is it with american houses and having like 20 different roof surfaces?
This has a good bit to do with it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3oIeLGkSCMA
Great video! Thanks for linking it.
Wow looks exactly like the LA and San Diego that Iran was just talking about!
