Gronda Gronda Y'all

No spyware overlay. Looking at you Microsoft with your CoPilot and constant screenshotting of everything, and legacy cruft that's eating RAM and CPU time

No NVidia My graphics of choice. But Nvidia no longer cares about gamers, and again, having to run a wad of code in the background to check for updates and maybe capture video clips? Nah.

Valve standard Linux If Valve is maintaining their Arch Linux distro, they're goign to give it more consistency and handle most of the pain points, making it an OS that people can use without needing to wibble around.

However they sold it to Waymo to test simulated city and freeway driving.

And Musck looked at this and realised dimly that he's never hit a fucking deadline in his life, and that none of his shit comes in at the price point he promises and when it is eventually released, it's trash and his fanboys won't buy 100,000,000 robots and he won't hit his KPI and get that Trillion dollar bonus.

So he used Tesla to bankroll SpaceX, who bought X-AI, which leaks money like crazy, but also is the owner of Twitter.

Then IPO'd with two types of stock: Normal people can buy shares, and even vote. That's about 30% of the total stock.

Then there's the special magical stock for Special Boys which is the other 60% and uh oh yeah, those stocks get a 10x multiplier on their votes.

So the public shareholders vote 'No don't do that' and Elon the Muskonian just overrides it and buys Facebook on a dare or some shit.

Anyway.

Point being, with some vaseline on the lens, and dim lighting, Elon can make his holdings look like one trillion US Beer Vouchers.

So he can then say he has one trillion in assets to leverage loans.

Because, he is effectively broke.

All that money? It's not in a bank account. He can't spend it. He needs to take out a loan for money he can spend, based on how much his stupid companies are valued at by credulous dingbats.

But the banks are sitting there, knowing this and thinking "he's robbing Peter to pay Paul, and sooner or later he won't be able to shuffle value around and we'll call the loans in and we'll own our own space launch company, Twitter and a car company that makes batteries and robots".

And they also know that for a moment when all this loses value, it's going to be such a massive crash that it's going to take the economy down.

But the banks, they don't care. They just say to the government: "OK Taxpayer money, hand it over, 'cos if we go we're fucking up the entire population."
