How the Kardashians and Selena Gomez are smarter than Elon Musk

by

Elon Musk is clearly a business and technology genius. He drove the creation of SpaceX and reusable rockets and has electric cars popular. However, all of the members of the celebrity Kardashian family (Kim, Kylie Jenner, Khloé Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian) and other celebrities like Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift are clearly smarter than Elon Musk about using Twitter and Instagram.

The celebrities make $10,000 or more from Twitter post and up to $1 million on each Instagram post.

Elon Musk lost $40 million from a fine for tweeting about taking Tesla Motors private. The cost is likely to increase a lot because Elon is getting sued by short-sellers of Tesla stock who sold after that tweet when Tesla stock briefly surged.

Kim Kardashian, Selena Gomez get paid about $500,000 to $1 million per Instagram post. Kim has 117 million Instagram followers and Selena Gomez has 143 million Instagram followers.

Kylie Jenner has over 100 million Instagram followers.

  1. But I will grant that Tesla = the inspiration behind all successful electric cars. Before Tesla started, EVs were like fusion. It’ll happen someday, but right now I’ll get a nice straight 6 or V8. But once Tesla showed that EVs were valid right now (for a market segment big enough to make serious money in) then things started moving. Though the car market is very difficult to understand. Who would have thought that the Nissan Juke would establish a market niche of “tiny little girly trucks so violently ugly that they materially increase sales of headache medication” and then that Toyota and other companies would decide to compete in that niche?

  3. If Tesla got sued into bankruptcy next week, 2025 would still see pure EVs as an ever growing segment of the market…” Exactly. Which is another thing Musk Fluffers don’t like to hear. They equate Tesla = all electric cars, for some illogical reason.

  7. Tesla…still teething probs. ” Depends what the aim of Tesla was. If the aim was to create a mass market car company from a standing start, then yes the matter won’t be completely settled for another few years at least. If they can run at a net profit for a whole model cycle then they’ve done it. And if they eventually go broke after that? Well so did General Motors. But if the aim was to take electric cars from a joke that only vegan hippies could take seriously, to the obvious next step in automotive technology, then Tesla has succeeded. If Tesla got sued into bankruptcy next week, 2025 would still see pure EVs as an ever growing segment of the market, and 2050 would see ICVs as a quaint holdover relegated to ever shrinking niches.

  22. Ronald: I’m famous for jealousy am I? Wow, didn’t know that! Guess I’ll be earning tons of cash for doing nothing of consequence then. Never mind, Ronnie your time will come: everyone’s butt will be famous for 15 minutes in the glorious future anyway LOL

  26. Yep. Exactly what do they do?? The don’t sing or dance or act. They did release a film of a game called hide the banana. Yep I guess bimbos who have sex tapes are smarter. Ya see even a 2 digit IQ can have millions of 2 digit IQ followers.

  31. That’s a tough call to ask for many folks on here. Especially since you said ‘Trump’. The only people more deranged than Musk Fluffers are the TDS afflicted.

  33. See folks! Perfect example of a Kool-Aid drinking Musk Fluffer! For every one of you who think I am being ‘too harsh’ using that term, some bozo like this guy comes along and proves me correct, instead. “The decision of SEC to go after Musk for a tweet is outrageous.” For a tweet that conveyed communication that violated SEC regs AND where Musk committed securities fraud. That’s not outrageous. “It is not a financial report, it is an official statement of board of directors etc.” It was a statement of material effect of the company made by that company’s CEO & Chairman (not for long). It doesn’t matter if it was conveyed via Tweet, FB post, pigeon carrier, mass mailing, etc. It was communicated to the public, period. The markets responded accordingly and people were defrauded of their money as a result.

  35. Musk is PRETTY DARN CLOSE to winning the second metric, hands down. In fact, when you look at just the current, COMMERCIALIZED & PROFITABLE strides SpaceX has made so far, he win hands down on that. Solar energy, not so much. Solar City is just one of many players…many of which have made innovative strides of their own as well. Tesla…still teething probs. Not to mention the lawsuits and DoJ criminal investigation. And again, other companies are being just as innovative. The Boring Company. I dunno. Other nations figured out how to make tunnels under cities for far cheaper & faster than the US ever has. Japan in particular. Boring Company is just catch-up, really. Still. All that adds him up in the running. No doubt. Bezos might catch up with him in space, but not in the sum total of accomplishments Musk might pull off. My prob has been with the cultish idiots whom I call — with increasing justification — the Musk Fluffers who worship him as God and attack anyone who pisses in their Kool-Aid as attacking Musk himself.

  41. I don’t use instagram but from what I understand, celebs will do sponsored posts where they praise a product. So it’s basically an ad on a different platform. That’s basically some women’s dream “job” : having enough followers on social media so that you can get paid by sponsors to talk about their products. They call that an “influencer”.

    For a tweet that conveyed communication that violated SEC regs AND where Musk committed securities fraud. That’s not outrageous.

    “It is not a financial report, it is an official statement of board of directors etc.”

  62. The decision of SEC to go after Musk for a tweet is outrageous. It consciously gives power to shape reality to a social platform while all it should have stayed was literally a ‘tweet’. It is not a financial report, it is an official statement of board of directors etc. Those morons who claim to be mislead should suffer the consequences of their own stupidity. Remove responsibility and consequences from the equation and no one will ever learn.

  82. These celebrities have dedicated social media staff that ensure they never look or say anything inappropriate. And they don’t tweet without having said staff review and comment, possibly not even touching the social network apps themselves. And specially not if they are tired/drunk/stoned. It’s boneheaded and vapid but so is our mediasphere.
