Rumorpile: Porsche Joins The Crossover Coupe Craze

Yes, I read the story and am so happy that he shot himself in the foot and will not get his $56 Billion dollar pay day that he feels he deserves as he created Tesla, WRONG, he did not, He Created everything as the God he believes he is in his little mind. According to the web, he created X.com a online digital pay system that predated Google transactions but was struggling due to people feeling the X.com was an adult web site. You can read the whole story here, if it was not growing up in a wealthy family in south africa and then coming to america illegally and getting help to stay and start his company, he would never have been what he is now and yet he hates illegals. Go figure. Here is how he got started. Did Elon Musk Create PayPal? Remembering His Fintech History Here is the news story on the pay package failure. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-loses-bid-to-get-56-billion-pay-package-reinstated/ar-AA1v9clp?ocid=entnewsntp&pc=U531&cvid=9ca0fe8f80d34fea9f9b2a429fa07658&ei=69  

Im wondering how on earth can 1 ceo be paid 56 billon dollars?  Im having trouble understanding a 56 million dollar salary so Im having quite the time right now trying to figure out a 56 billion dollar one.   A judge refused to let the company pay him that much and he, the ceo in question, through a tantrum.  I guess he threw a tantrum because his plan to feed the hungry with that 56 billion dollar salary was thwarted. Not even with the help of open source accounting  could he ever do anything to help...  Like there is nothing he could do...  And Christmas is...JUST around the corner.  Poor little Tiny Tim.  And poor ole ceo.  He might just get a visit from the Ghosts of Christmases past, present and future.   Sad story. Sad sad story indeed.    

Freedom is never free, both of my grandfathers who fought in WWII and were drill sergeants at camp Pendelton till they retired always told me that every man has the responsibility to stand up to people who wish to take away the freedom of our fellow citizens. One must never give up defending the constitution of our country and the rights for equality for all humans. I will always do my best to defend everyone and fight against the Narcissistic fascist individuals who wish to belittle those they do not consider human. All humans have a right to live free and without fear of persecution by hate filled racist thinking. Hopefully Idiot47 will go six feet under sooner rather than later.

Common buddy.  (Im saying that with my utmost sincerity) You know the last statement (the bolded part) you made NOT to be true.  Americans especially, have worked very very hard to earn their rights and freedoms since 1776. (The birth of your country) And along the way, many many battles have been fought  to ensure freedoms for their citizens. And I do NOT mean war battles but those too have been fought to ensure rights and freedoms in your country.  The one good thing about America is that you HAVE freedoms and if you, in general you, dont cherish and continue to fight for those freedoms, you will INSTANTLY lose those freedoms and then you wont be able to live a happier life...   Its one of those things that you dont know what you;ve got until its gone...   Last time I checked, the right to vote and the right to contest and the right to propose and the right to thought right to express an opinion is alive and well in America. And the ONLY way to ensure the survival of said rights is that you HAVE to worry about it and you HAVE to PARTICIPATE in your freedoms to ensure they continue to exist.  This is what is called living in a democratic nation. And in fact, it is your DUTY to particpate... Yes CCAP, you actually DO have the power to change shyte in YOUR country. American rights and freedoms in your constitution PERMIT you that right.   I wrote a list above on what rights you have.  In the US, you have legal channels that you could go to, to ensure that your rights and freedoms stay alive. Women burned their bras in the 60s to fortify their equal rights to man.  Rosa Parks defied a bus driver so she sat wherever the phoque she wanted to sit to ensure black people not be second class citizens. Just a few examples.  Some battles took a while to win. Some are STILL being fought DESPITE major progress because their is STILL a long ways to go, but the right for RIGHTS is PROTECTED in your country.  And hopefully you could see what is happening now politically in your country, democracy is at a very fragile place.  And you HAVE to care because if you turn a blind eye to it, it will disappear.  It might not be with Trump. It might be in 2 elections from now with an even MORE brazen politician than Trump. But if too many American citizens have a laisser faire attitude, then start kissing your constitution good-bye.
