But People, who dream about working for fascist trillionaires, are.

They were obviously talking about Elon.

Space x existed for 2 years before Musk bought it. He just provides money that was stolen from market manipulation or PayPal when it desperately wanted him gone.

in 2002, buy 100 btc, live comfortably as a millionaire in the present. don't have to sweep floors for nazi nasa

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 60 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

In 2002 buy apple or google stock then use that money to buy bitcoin.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 50 points 21 hours ago (6 children)

In October 2001, short all of the major US airlines.

Are you European? 9/11 was in September, because American dates.

[–] EvilHankVenture@lemmy.world 18 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Why wouldn't you do that in August? It didn't take a genius to do this after 9/11

[–] SalmiakDragon@feddit.nu 2 points 7 hours ago

I'm guessing they're European and thus misread the date as November 9th.

[–] W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 19 hours ago

In March 2020 buy anything related to travel or leisure or fast food.

you'd be waiting several years. bitcoin wasn't "invented" until '08. but you're on the right track. by '09, you could have got 100btc for lunch money. sold today it would give you more than enough to live on.

[–] Anivia@feddit.org 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

If you started mining on the day the network launched you could have had thousands of bitcoins without even buying any. Mining difficulty was really low before FPGA miners (and later ASIC miners) were created

[–] adarza@piefed.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

too much work. may 21, 2010. just be the guy that buys some hungry guy a couple pizzas. you'd have 10k btc for like $25 worth of pizza.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 1 points 10 hours ago

More than enough for 3 lifes

[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 20 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

In 2002 there were no bitcoins. But there were Epstein island parties

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 24 points 21 hours ago (8 children)

Yep.... Bitcoin didn't really take off until 2010. I had a buddy who was an early adopter and had mined/bought hundreds of thousands of coins at one point. Spent it all on the silk road, he always used to say it was just a way to turn electricity into drugs.

You could travel back to 2009 and impersonate Satoshi Nakamoto. There are already conspiracy theories that Nakamoto is a time traveler because he did what a time traveler might do. He anonymously created Bitcoin, and then he disappeared. He has tens of billions of dollars of bitcoin sitting there unused. Or maybe it's just waiting until he gets back to his time.

[–] DontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.world 20 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

I'm convinced Elon did access a time machine, travel back, and set this shitty timeline in motion.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

Shit. Maybe that's what completes the time loop! Musk is a bootstrap paradox. He's going to spend a trillion dollars building a time machine. He knows how to build a time machine because his future self told him how to build a time machine. Nowhere in this time loop dusk Musk ever actually discover the science of how to do this. He's just passing a pdf of detailed blueprints around. It's like something Arthur C. Clarke would pen, except incredibly stupid.

harambe was the divergence point between 2 different time lines.

[–] DontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

No doubt about that

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 52 points 22 hours ago

OP is just a famous shit poster account.

“For helping our space company reach the stars, I will be granting you, dear janitor, a $1mil bonus and a generous stock option!” said Nolon Moosk, the complete polar opposite of popular Nazi Elon Musk.

[–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 9 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (2 children)

I actually yearn for a transnational workers cooperative space company that collects startup capital from crowdsourcing and fundraising.

Would probably have to host the physical operations somewhere in the global south, as the big authoritarian nations would likely be a bit hostile to the idea of making any domestically-developed cutting edge orbital rocket engine technology FOSS.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

And that's what's tragic about SpaceX. It built real technical wizardry on the backs of some of the most talented minds of a generation. Yet, what will the funds from this IPO be used for? To fund the company's operations for years to come? No. It will be used to fund shitty AI development and to pay off the money Musk borrowed to buy Twitter.

Give people an opportunity to support you and to join.

[–] bravesilvernest@lemmy.ml 31 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Lol I took this way darker than intended 🫠

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 29 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Same. As a janitor I could maybe murder Elon without anyone knowing

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 16 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I mean if you got a time machine there's much easier way to do it.

He was likely conceived in October of 1970. Just cock block his parents problem solved. Or just find his dad at any point and just kick him really fucking hard in the nutts, cuz he's a piece of shit.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 13 points 21 hours ago

Well, in theory if you want to reduce unforeseen changes in the future you want to make changes as late as possible. Also, murdering him after he is a billionaire/trillionare would send a message.

[–] cattywampus@lemmy.world 17 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I think people are unaware of how deep the troll hole goes.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 12 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Troll or sycophant. No telling anymore.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 8 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

Actually there is, he's a fairly well known shitposter.
