These days, if you say identity is the identity of identity and non-identity, they ask you to stop posting.

Nothing suspicious at all about his brother selling off a big pile of shares just before that tweet crashed the share price..


Johnny Foreigner

It's called the law of identity. A is never B, because A can only be A. It's all in Aristotle, somewhere.

grimes was photographed while she was pretending to read the communist manifesto so i guess it must be some sort of payback

Elon Musk actually scares me because his company actually does important shit.

Those pictures did give me a good old laugh. It's well known that Grimes is a total dolt who lucked out by making a really good debut album. The idea she'd read even Marx's easiest book was just absurd.

I believe she's also pretended to have read Aaron Bastani's book.

Mister Six

To be fair to Grimes, she also did We Appreciate Power, which is a banger.

I think she's like Kanye - a decent amount of musical talent, but fundamentally a bit dim outside of that one sphere, and absolutely oblivious to the fact.

Well yeah. That's the end result of decentralised free markets and "consumer choice" - extraction

but I heard the left concentrate too much on economics these days, best not go on about it.

Grimes is the epitome of a rich trend-chasing hipster, her popularity is baffling. she should be the kind of thing that got instantly pelted with rotten fruit but somehow people went for it

If I was the richest man on the planet I like to think I wouldn't spend so much of my time embarrassing myself on Twitter.

I guess we're unlikely to ever know for sure, though.

it is kind of comforting how incredibly unfunny he is

Musk's Twitter account is just a massive grift, designed to manipulate markets and governments with little pushback because he appears so belligerent and stupid. Everything he does is calculated to generate maximum profit from his investments.

I have also thought this, and wondered how legal it all is.

With the legal team he can afford, I think murder is legal.

Calling someone "PEDO GUY" evidently is.

If it wasn't for that tweet I'd wonder if his account was managed by some very clever stockbroker/PR genius.

I think it's always been like this. I remember a couple of famous entrepreneurs buying a 1p-a-share furniture shop, saying they were going to use it as a vehicle for the greatest invention in the history of mankind, waiting for the share price to rocket, their mates to sell all their shares, before folding the company soon after.

This is why I always append 'paedophile' to his name every time I refer to him. I mean it in the exact same sense he meant it. What's good for the goose, and all that.

Seems like a pair of twats.

Apart from the car that looks too normal a place for Musk - where's the fission-powered toaster, Elon?

That ain't Grimes in that video, it's his ex-squeeze

every time a tesla smashes its driver into something the real tragedy is that it's not the tesla musk is driving.

Twat.

Kind of wish I'd bought one to put on eBay though.
