tifosi77's thread of Musk

So how can I Big Short the banks on Twitter and get rich?
It’s a $14 billion loan. That sounds like a lot, but it isn’t. At least for a bank with $1.2 trillion in commercial loans, $14 billion isn’t a lot. And keep in mind that its split up at least three ways. So ~3 to 5 billion per bank going bad wouldnt be a sign of the financial apocalypse.

Don’t get me wrong, these big banks have to be pretty pissed off to be stuck with this crap, but the real cost of the twitter debacle is being associated with this calamity (i.e. reputational risk) and not an actual financial loss.

For the grinds gears thread.

The worst part about the prevalance of insider language and acronyms is the coexisting prevalence and allowance of unchecked typos/autocorrects. So the variables approach infinity when I'm left to decide if I'm out of the loop or if somewhere in the text there's a simple mistake.

There was an amazing post by a space x employee explaining the Elon aura. He is a money/hype guy. There was a whole apparatus in place the make Elon think he was running the company there.

He’s just an idiot fail son, it is good though that he had torpedoed all his good will on something stupid like twitter. He could have actually done some real damage considering the faith and resources institutions would have put behind him.

The shock of Elon shitposting all day will wear off. If twitter is just cesspool, prolonged, alt-right circle jerk, people will just leave. How’s facebook doing?

My only take on the whole thing was I thought it sucked that all those people lost their jobs only because some rich dumbass bough their company. I blame the board and the banks/investors that made that deal happen.

Today I learned that voluntarily including my pronouns in my email signature is an extinction level event. Sorry guys.

I appreciate it when dealing with international names that I don’t know which pronoun to use. Beyond that, yeah… no real need.

Thanks.

Why do we do the he/him they/them instead of just he/she/they since we don't add his/hers. Is there a group that needs that second clarifier after the "/" or does it just sound better?
