"paid by somebody - I don't know who"
Dammit. Does anyone here know? I'm sick and tired of doing free protesting. Looking for contact info and benefit deets.
We'll be in touch about your pay King. Keep an eye for a call about your car's extended warrant 😜
That sounds like projection
He doesn't even live in Utah
He tried to run for parliament from his office in Boston. The guy is a fucking idiot
Which is why he is ok with destroying our environment.
thats why the datacenter is UTAH, pretty much only a giant salt flat.
Ahh yes Salt Lake City pretty much a giant salt flat /s.
God the paid protestor thing is so fucking tiring. Anybody with more than 2 brain cells sees right through it
That's giving maga people far too much credit though
They dont have 2 brain cells
hes like the dr Phil of STOCK markets.
O'Leary is exactly like Trump. He cons investors, grabs his fees and they all lose money.
This is a genius observation. Gonna use it.
...that someone is directly harming them and profiting off their stupidity while they actively thank the abuser? No, that doesn't sound like MAGA people...
I've literally never seen a paid protestor. I don't think it's ever happened
some pr firm found the line works in whatever context and is selling to them for $20k/month
Selling them what? The idea of claiming paid protestors?
the messaging strategy. Press releases, bylines, interviews, media appearances, the media training that goes along with it, and the messaging to say.
some are powered by AI
So even the data centers are against him?
The data centers became sentient out of primordial hatred for this guy just to spite him.
Professional AI protestors.
That's dementia starting old man.
Well, some people do dedicate their lives to protesting about stuff. It's called political activism.
Every accusation is a confession.
It really always was, huh? 😞
He has no way to respond to legitimate criticisms other than by invoking imaginary strawmen
As a Canadian, I'm sorry for this guy. He's from Montreal and yeah we don't like him either.
We like that he now lives in Boston.
a sleazy greasy billionaire can only assume someone would do something for money its the ONLY incentive for doing anything in their world view
To be clear, he's not a billionaire. He desperately wants to be, but he's currently not.
Fuck Kevin O'Leary.
Im angry for the people there and im not in the US, so sickening to see the direction they are taking against all these citizens protesting it.
Fucking son of a bitch. The lake is drying up as it is.
"We want to make sure we don’t strangle the goose that lays the golden egg," Morris said. MIDA usually imposes a 6% energy use tax on its developments, but this time they rapidly agreed to set it at 0.5%. Morris said, the project will generate estimated $100 million annually once it reaches full capacity. The agreement also cuts a deal on property taxes.
So the deal will cost the state billions but in the end it will net them millions.
WTF…
I am so god sick of hearing about AI..
The self-confessed vampire
I get the trump issue with good hard-working Americans. This Oh!Leery guy makes me ashamed to be a Canadian. Isn't he related to the lady who burned down Chicago back in the day? /s
I thought billionaires are like über businessmen. How comes he cannot handle some competition?
Well at this point there are so many offences against which we must protest, many of us have become professionals.
