Elon Musk

jimmymelrose

Reading about his supposed interest in Liverpool,  I see that ’As well as the north west, Musk also has relatives elsewhere in England’.
What if he had family in SE London / NW Kent?
Who would want Charlton’s current owners to  contact him?

If if you don’t use Pay Pal, have a Tesla motorcar, and have never been on Twitter, Musk is an irrelevance

Mans a complete nut job. Sounds perfect. Elon, Come on down.

I've stuck with this fucking team through thick and thin. Mainly thin. It won't happen, of course - but if this incel bond villain came anywhere near my club he will have achieved what several decades of futility, uselessness, bang averageness and moving 200 miles away could not. I'd start supporting some Northern team.

What about my frequent return trips to space eh Seth ?

I quite enjoyed my School Meals. Especially when there were seconds and sometimes even thirds on the sponge pudding and custard.

Of all the absolute toss you've chucked up on here in the past, this might be the single most spectacularly ill-informed thing you've ever posted.

If Musk was anything to do with Charlton... I would not be. That's about as much as I can say without singlehandedly getting the thread closed down.

I mean I still supported Charlton when Southall was in charge so I’m not sure there’s anyone who could own the club that would stop me supporting!

After two scoops of mash with mince a blob of something pink was the thing at Sherington.
I bet Elon never had it.

I read his biography. He suffered severe  childhood trauma himself through years of dreadful bullying in South Africa. When his family moved to America  it started up again, Sadly.

No he's not. He has offered a lot to the world in terms of leading the charge (pun intended) on EV tech and also provides a lot to charities.

Why anyone would 'LOL' a comment @Leuthabout a child going through bullying is beyond me.

I've got nothing of value to add to this thread... Just want to let everyone know I'm nipping down to Asda to get some popcorn, anyone need anything?

I dont think he has. He isnt the founder of Tesla (or PayPal) he didnt invent any of the inventions credited to Tesla. He (his company more than him) has relied on government funding, jumping on grant funded research projects to make improvements that would have simply been there for the next highest bidder. I dont think he can really be credited with any of that progress.

So Musk comes in, invests 200m into us, buys the stadium, we find ourselves in the Premier League in 3-4 years time, we're absolutely flying, he expands the stadium to 40k, we're big news everywhere because of our owner...........and you'd disappear to go and support someone else? 

You wouldn't even watch our 2031 Champions league final v Real Madrid on tv?

I used to love pink custard, but haven't had it for 50 years! Especially on chocolate sponge or chocolate tart (where it used to melt some of the chocolate).

Must make some.

Anyway - back to popcorn.

Being run by Elon Musk would be like Thomas Sandgaard on steroids. No thanks.

Bollocks, it has to be against a Spanish side doesnt it... We all know they dont lose in Finals (Unless they're facing another Spanish side for the pedantics )

Thanks for the compliment. There was really no need.

Hope he keeps well away from this country  we don't need his meddling. He has wrecked Twitter and has allowed masses of incorrect information to become mainstream.

The word I used was ‘irrelevance’.
How do you think Musk has been relevant to me?

Wouldn't be on TV as X will have the broadcast rights by then and it would be the Tesla Super League World Series Final v the Champions of Saudi Arabia

This again? The myth that absolutely refuses to die.

He hasn't done anything in 'EV tech'. He bought Tesla from its founders, and used (and continues to use) government subsidies to run his business. The taxpayer of the US is funding Musk - Tesla LOSES money selling cars. This is how they make 'profit': 

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/31/investing/tesla-profitability/index.html

And the only reason he donates to charities is for tax purposes - the same reason most billionaires do. he doesn't even do what's 'required' of him there, either:
