He profits just fine. The companies not so much.
Except NVIDIA, they're making shovels and shitloads and he probably gets something under the table from them too.
Just like the circular deals 90% of the "profits" we've seen reported by these AI companies is just fake money
I continue to wonder why haven't the American people done what they should have been doing already and.... do what they need to do?
Doesn't Elon do the same thing such as when SpaceX bought a fleet of Cybertrucks?
Just sounds like how the rich move wealth around to stay/look wealthy.
Even if proven and convicted, none of these rich fucks will ever see any consequences beyond a slap on the wrist fine -- almost certainly a fine much smaller than the profits they made through this fraud. And then, just out of spite, they'll appeal it in a higher court and get the fine reduced or tossed out entirely.
You have WAY too much faith in the American court system. Don't worry, you too will get disillusioned. Just give it some time.
Correct. Sounds like extracurricular activies are in order.
Or when SpaceX bought Grok?
Or when Tesla bought SolarCity
OR WHEN THIS MOTHERFUCKER STOLE OUR MONEY AND CONSISTENTLY EVEN RIGHT NOW CONVINCED US THAT ITS OKAY THAT WE'RE NOT RANSACKING EVERY PUBLICLY LISTED PERSON OR PROPERTY THAT ENABLE(S/D) IT?
Or when grok bought Twitter
AI clowns? Self dealing?
Surely impossible.
Only two industries left in America: gambling and fraud. And AI is definitely in the 'fraud' category.
It’s also kind of gambling on getting useful results
He's just another con man shoving snake oil on society.
Just another conman with a physical location. You can't hide from 8 billion people.
It’s surely not self-dealing. It’s his AI that does business with those companies, not him, so it’s all legal.
