Do you think it takes a brilliant mind to come up with that basic-ass mob bullshit?
I feel like you’re misunderstanding what I’m saying in, like, an extreme way.
I’m absolutely not saying that Elon is some kind of mastermind. But there are people who legitimately are buying his bullshit. I’m explicitly pointing out that it is bullshit, and that the dude did not “just make a dumb joke without realizing the implications”.
There’s quite a few retail stores that don’t keep inventory, even for common things. Staples comes to mind, where it feels like half their damn office items aren’t in stock, so you need to wait for them to have it brought in.
The problem is that those same retail stores can’t compete with Amazon’s shipping speed. It becomes a case of:
It’s alright if they don’t want to carry inventory, but they need to have the shipping speeds to compete, otherwise there’s no reason for the consumer not to just buy it off of Amazon directly.
