"Really" money in this context I think means it is accessible and spendable. If you own shares that are worth some amount of money, you need to sell those shares in order to get their worth to spend (I would assume).

Yep, these shares aren't very liquid, especially Musk's large share holdings.

Musk getting rid of all his Tesla shares for example, would have a pretty big market impact....

Money is just tokenised labour or wealth, so yes with money itself being merely a promise it doesn't have a great deal of intrinsic value when those promises can change or be broken (default).

Reminds me of this, that was a great illustration of the golf between 1 million and 1 billion.

$2k an hour for 2,000 years and Bezos would still look at you as a poor failure. :lol:

Look at that one tiny wiper blade that will clear less than 1/4 of the windscreen. :lol: :fp:

I hope it isn't still using the armoured glass, or it could be even more of a death trap than a normal tesla.

It looks like it's just bad CGI.

Amusement under late capitalism is the prolongation of work.

I really like the look of it

I think it's dumb to actually make it as anything other than a concept, but still

It looks like what would happen if you distilled r/malelivingspace into a car.

I think this is the first time Musk had responded to Galloway on the Russian state affiliated media tag. It translates to "Sorry Comrade". :slol:

twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1535119868751659008



Galloway is suing Twitter in the Irish courts due to the tag.

Edit: another reply.

Comrade is apt. From one enabler of Putin to another.

It can't be a death trap, because it will be your fault if you burn to death.

Not sure you can argue working for state media as not being state affiliated
