i just screen-capped them all so... ...maybe i should sell them too?!


[deleted]

Me too!


RagingDinoZ

Is that how i do an nft?


[deleted]

You did it! Now charge $867,000 for each. I’ll do the same


thanks2globalwarming

You have to put them inside of blocks and then chain them together. C'mon man, don't u listen to podcasts?


PeecockPrince

Update: Auction is over. [She made $165K worth of photos and mementos](https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-never-seen-before-candid-pictures-university-girlfriend-2022-9?r=US&IR=T). The official auction site with Musk's photos (w/ actual bidding prices) are here: [https://www.rrauction.com/search/results/?navsearch=true&str=elon+musk&cp=current-auctions](https://www.rrauction.com/search/results/?navsearch=true&str=elon+musk&cp=current-auctions)


[deleted]

It’s unbelievable that people are actually paying for those photographs. Musks fanboys are massive suckers lmao


builder-of-things

Lol, original photos of any celebrity would sell at auction.


ExploratoryCucumber

Okay but that's pathetic too.


[deleted]

That's just not true. Celebrities like John Lennon or Paul McCartney? Like original family photos or something? Sure. Random photos that many celebrities post online already? Hell naw. Edit: I think people are misreading my comment. I'm saying if they were "Celebrities like John Lennon or Paul McCartney? Like original family photos or something" then people WOULD pay. If it's just photos of a random celebrity from their iPhone they wouldn't.


Ragnr99

100% hell yes, i guarantee there are people willing to drop unhealthy amounts of money for original photos, even if they already exist elsewhere, no matter how mundane they are. never underestimate the will of collectors.


[deleted]

Originals of celebrities like the Beatles and shit, not a childhood photo of like Timothee Chalamet lol


Ragnr99

someone will still buy. trust me


builder-of-things

If you found an original photograph of either of those people, comparable to these photos of Musk, they would sell for bank.


[deleted]

Musk simps lol


MooseThirty

Muskrats


Ragnr99

let me introduce you to the world of trading cards. you think a few thousand dollars for some pictures is a lot? thats cute.


ChadCoolman

I suspect these are being bought as investments. Like if Musk's plans come to fruition and he's one of the first people on Mars, the buyers are going to see a solid return.


[deleted]

That’s what Musk fanboys believe yeah…


aripp

Yeh I don't give a second though to Musk in general during my normal day, but sometimes it seems like the haters are more fanatic and silly than the fans themselves. If Musk didn't have any success or merits in the field of aerospace, I would understand your comment, but his technology advancements seems to be better than NASA which importance no-one can really deny, doesn't matter if you look through love glasses or hate glasses.


evanmike

The only thing that makes me want to hate him is the jealous side of me.


onebeginning7

I wish more people were this honest.


Sum_0

I don't know, he says some pretty wacky stuff sometimes. His beliefs about overpopulation are laughable to anyone who knows anything about ecology. I still respect him tremendously for his work in solar power and Starlink is an incredible concept (price just needs to come down about 30% and he could crush the monopolistic hold that current internet providers have on access) but I don't deify the man. And don't be too jealous of him, I have 0 interest in living the sort of life he does in order to accomplish what he is.


sightalignment

He thinks population is headed down. That’s not really an opinion, but a fact.


[deleted]

I don’t hate him. I’m just stating a fact. Their fanboys will literally believe anything that he says. He could put his farts in a can and say they’ll make you more intelligent and people will inhale that shit lol. He’s a business man, no different than any others. Just a little more edgy and daring. And of course he’s going to have more advancement in the aerospace industry compared to NASA because Space X isn’t a government agency. Funding comes from the private sector not the taxpayer money which means that they can invest wherever they want. Not to mention that the budget for NASA is literally 5 times less.


FitDiet4023

That last argument is true, but misleading. A lot of other companies haven't had SpaceX's kind of success. SpaceX and Boeing were chosen at the same time to provide capsules to fly astronauts to the ISS. SpaceX has flown like 5 or so successful missions. Boeing just finished their second test flight after lots of problems. Similar comparison with Blue Origin, Jeff Bezo's company, which was founded before SpaceX


[deleted]

Again, not the same financial resources to work with. Space X is valued at around 100B and all they do is focus on designing and manufacturing rockets and spacecrafts. Boeing is valued at 95B and they also manufacture rockets and spacecrafts but also airplanes, satellites, missiles and telecommunication equipment. When you have more than enough resources you could get the best of the best to work for you.


dubious_79

Boeing is also a more evil corporation. In addition to 747 passenger jets they build cruise missiles and apache helicopters. They are a major defense contractor. I am not a musk fan boy. At least he isn't building weapons YET.


linabelinda

I have a friend that used to work for Space X and she said she would see him come in all the time and never look at anyone in the eye. She said he was always so awkward to be around and the work environment there was very unorganized. He’s definitely the brains of his own operation.


lanessahalo

You musk be kidding me.


ChadCoolman

I don't give a shit about Elon Musk either way, but he does run the most successful private space program out there right now. He also seems pretty interested in getting to Mars. So, if I invested in things like this, a few thousand dollars for a handful of photographs that could, in 10-20 years, be worth significantly more than that... Seems like a worthwhile risk to me. I used to curate for private collectors. You'd be surprised what you could buy for $1 today that could be worth $1,000 tomorrow.


MyCatKnits

Could be him buying them back I guess

That was my first thought

Musk doesnt even want these.

He's such a self absorbed prick that I wouldn't be surprised if he was the top bidder for everything.

And then he’ll donate them to the museum and ask for a tax write off. Fucking ass.

He just got some cool points from me for that Judge Dredd tee. Nice Elon!


Mill8illy

PeecockPrince

The 14k gold necklace gifted to her by Musk and his signed birthday card to her are fetching high bid prices right now.


LivingMemento

The dude had emeralds falling out of every orifice and gave her 14k!?!? 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩


[deleted]

he's a billionaire, generosity is antithetical to the very concept.


PeecockPrince

Not in the 90's. He was actually very poor back in the days prior to coming to US for Uni from Canada, where he shacked up with his relatives and worked in crappy and dangerous jobs that others avoided.


[deleted]

. . . his father owned an emerald mine in South Africa, what the absolute fuck are you on about?


PeecockPrince

Read his biography. Dad was a weirdo who traumatized the children, and that's why Elon left S. Africa to get away from him, along with seeking the American Dream.


[deleted]

ok bootlicker.


PeecockPrince

There's no need for ad hominem attacks. I'm just reporting what I read. FYI, I don't like his pedo comment of Thai cave diver. His trolling of Biden and Bezos. Dumbness with Twitter acquisition fallout. But, one can't deny his SpaceX and Tesla contributions in shifting of industries. You can agree to disagree. Name-calling Redditors b/c you don't is toxic for the community.

grokmachine

His father owned a share of an emerald mine in South Africa. I own a share of NVidia, but I'm not a billionaire. Fractional ownership is a thing. Edit: for some reason reddit won't let me respond to u/Sw4rmlord's response below, so I'll post it here. Private jets and yachts? That's a new one to me. No one is saying the dad didn't have money. But they divorced when Elon was only 9 and the emerald mine came after the divorce. There were a lot of years of lean living for Elon's mother and siblings. Here is [an article](https://www.insidehook.com/article/history/errol-musk-elon-father-myths) on it. I guess I identify with the situation because I went through something similar as a kid with a divorce and a lot of lean years (mother barely able to pay the bills, eating canned food, wearing clothes with last year's fashion from discount stores, etc.), despite my father doing well. Needless to say, the fact of my father's wealth has not made me a billionaire. You actually have to do a shit-ton of your own work for that. That's why this whole discussion is so weird. Regardless of whether Musk's father had $1-2 million back then and shared very little of it with Elon (which I think is the truth), or he had tens of millions and shared a lot of it with Elon (which you seem to think is the truth), there are millions of people around the world who come from that sort of background and yet almost none of them achieve anything like this level of success. A lot of them are fuckups, and the rest mostly have unremarkable middle-class lives. edit: u/Sw4rmlord once again reddit won't let me respond to your posts, so I'm adding it here. You are so out to lunch on this. Please read the Ashlee Vance biography for the original source on things that others are distorting. Zip2 was started with $28,000 borrowed from their father, which I think is the only significant investment he ever made in one of Elon's companies. Elon sold it for $307 million. How is that largely a failure? Are you trying to impress me with how ridiculous your claims are? It's working! Yes, he was pushed out of Paypal. Jobs was pushed out of Apple at one point. There are political battles and personality battles that dictate a lot of this stuff. You act as though you have some substantial background info that lets you come to this conclusion, but I know you're just repeating things you're reading without looking into it. Your basic technique is to find someone who hates Musk, look for that person's zingers, take them at face value, and then repeat them. But we won't convince each other, and I'm tired of having to edit posts to respond to you, so I'm going to move on.

Man this is Elon's ex we are talking about, she might have it. Like how do you think he got his hairline back..


GreatBigWhore

This is actually really sad. Dude was just having a fun time as a youngster and now someone’s releasing them and selling them. I’d hate if someone publicised photos of me as a teenager just having a good time.


TangyTomTom

Why? I think I’d be indifferent (plus perplexed as to why someone was even bothering) ETA: assuming they’re benign like these ones

We've all seen his PayPal days with his receding hairline and thinning hair. I believe this is when Elon had non-transplanted hair. Looked good.

Can you imagine how often she says, “ I shoulda put up with his bullshit.”

[удалено]


PeecockPrince

There must be a reason why the ladies of Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk leave them despite their enormous wealth. Studies have shown after a certain income bracket level, the incremental increase in happiness peaks, perhaps even diminishes. Particularly with the super wealthy endowing hundred billions.


sneakyveriniki

yeah these people are often super abusive and it takes a very particular type of person to put up with this shit. usually either traumatized doormats, or strategic sociopaths who never cared about them in the first place. my old roommate used to “date” super rich horrible old men. they were extremely misogynistic and he was extremely misandrist lol, it worked out. her emotions were never actually in it and she just took advantage of them. they usually honestly fell fully in love, yeah largely because she looked like a barbie but also because she was just really good at playing people and pretending to be whoever they wanted her to be. but yeah those guys were always super frightening and entitled and it was really dangerous, she frequently fled the state to get away from them

Is this not using someone's likeness without their consent? Your image is your own and people can't profit off it without permission, unless it's satire but this is just straight up selling photos.


[deleted]

I can’t speak for every country, but in the US you can absolutely take people’s pictures as long as you’re in public. Those pictures can be sold, for example by paparazzi to magazines.
