The guy hasn't had a good idea since he was 20 years old. Just keeps dumping billions of dollars into stupid fads. Just imagine all the good he could be doing with that money instead of flushing it down the toilet on terrible investments.

Chump economic depression inbound! Gonna be worse than 2008 cuz the current administration is beyond incompetent.

This crash will make 1998 and 2008 seen like child's play.

Let's just get it fucking over with, but be careful what we wish for.

Even better, they'll make it out to be our (the people's) fault, for something, then proceed to give the tech bros billions in bailouts.

Didn't he hire AI specialists for salaries of like half a million a year just a couple weeks ago?

[–] artyom@piefed.social 1 points 6 days ago

If their resumes weren't written by AI, that's a good indicator that it's all a scam.

Welp, I remember reading the headline with some stupidly big number but I guess it didn't register with me just how stupid. (Dear Mark, I've also used chatgpt once , pls gib money)

[–] cm0002@piefed.world 4 points 1 week ago

I would say I hope they're preparing their resumes (for whoever is getting the top tier bracket (which I suspect probably wasn't all that many if any to begin with)) but even if they got just one months worth of salary that's...25 mil...yea they'll be fine

Maybe what you're referring to? Over a billion over several years?

[–] Resplendent606@piefed.social 24 points 1 week ago

I wish I could be the one to pop it.
