Aren’t horses expensive as fuck to keep?

moon ,

He is a car salesman after all. The horse is free but if she wants the stable and upkeep payments to be covered, she’ll have to go for a longer deal

How much could a banana cost?!?

Horse people don’t care

Horse people is not the preferred nomenclature. Centaur, please.

And that’s before you spring for shoes, armor, lance, all that shit.

Spring shoes sound less useful on a horse.

Rozz ,

An advantage on the battlefield, but broken legs left and right

doggle ,

Oh yeah. Especially if you work as a flight attendant, so you’ll have to play someone else to care for it when you’re away.

“No no, it’s all a big misunderstanding! I offered her the horse to have sex with! Who would exchange a horse for a woman? Do you know how expensive horses are?” - musk, probably

He claims it isn’t true, but they did a $250k settlement with her. Hmmm.

foggy ,

Wait… How much does a horse cost?

PahassaPaikassa ,

You can get one for free if you want. Theres still wild horse populations.

But if you want, you can spend hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions on a horse. You could also probably get one for a few hundred but that one is already on its way to a glue factory.

BossDj ,

There are very, very few wild horses, and they’re pretty much untamable. But there are TONS of feral horses with populations growing out of control and governments at a loss for what to do about it

What’s the difference between a wild and a feral horse? Isn’t going feral just kinda like going back to being a wild animal?

Bernie_Sandals , (edited )
@Bernie_Sandals@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, but it comes from a domesticated genetic line. Imagine if a Pug or Chihuahua went feral. It wouldn’t exactly be the same as the original wolf-like starting point.

It’s the same with horses. After generations of being bred by humans for specific traits, they’re very different than the original wild population. They’re probably also easier to re-domesticate than wild horses.

But… there were no horses in the Americas until colonization (sort of) – Is there still a difference between feral and wild in the new world?

BossDj ,

They are all feral by definition in the new world (although I’ve never read about your link before!)

Legislative BS that requires public opinion often refers to them as wild (because it plays to romanticizing) or they are sometimes labeled wild just to categorize how they will be treated by land and animal controllers (so they are considered “natural” in some areas). Before like the 70s, they were treated as pests and killed, but people thought they were cool and pretty, so it had to stop.

Arizona had always had a shitty time because the horse populations destroy the environment, but when parks people tried to thin or remove them, people complained because horses are pretty.

QuantumSparkles ,

The idea of vicious packs of feral pugs is fantastic

BossDj ,

See that one? That’s the alpha pug

DaBPunkt ,

There are no wild horses; all horses are either tamed or their ancestors were.

DaBPunkt ,
@DaBPunkt@lemmy.world avatar

The Przewalski’s horse is not the wild form of our horse. It’s a other sub species (a little bit like the zebra or the donkey) with (for example) another chromosome count. Another problem is that there are evidences that the modern Przewalski’s horse feraled from a domesticate form of the primal Przewalski’s horse (that was tamed by the Botai culture). A further problem is that the Przewalski’s horse was extincted in the wild for decades and only survived because of human breeding (so it was kind of tamed again).

lanolinoil ,
@lanolinoil@lemmy.world avatar

What? Off of BLM land or something? No one is going to let you steal wild horses off their land I suspect.

Surely I can’t just go grab a bunch of wild animals anymore – it’s not 1850

PahassaPaikassa ,

I wasnt completely serious

aeronmelon ,

Ah, she opted for the cash equivalent.

Duranie ,

Boarding, farrier, vet, plus the mental and emotional toll of owning a 1000lb toddler that exhibits an inverse correlation of majestic beauty and intelligence. God, I love horses lol.

kungen ,

Owning a horse is more expensive monthly than having a drug addiction tbh.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

I dated a girl who had two horses and she was shaving every expense to keep her horses well where she was selling plasma. After noping out that relationship after a month, my friends explained to me the whole “Horse Girl” stereotype and every single one matched.

FireTower ,

Settlements are always necessarily dispositive of the truth. Sometimes it makes sense to just pay a settlement fee than to go through litigation if you expect your attorney fees to be greater than the settlement cost. Also it’s not uncommon for settlements agreements to not confirm allegations so as to not benefit future cases against the defendant.

“My commitment: We will never seek victory in a just case against us, even if we will probably win,” he wrote. “We will never surrender/settle an unjust case against us, even if we will probably lose.”

Either he’s full of shit, he did after a horse for sex or both.

Serinus ,

Well. We know he’s full of shit, but it can be more than one.

Stern ,
@Stern@lemmy.world avatar

On one hand it might be cost effective but on the other its not like cost is an issue for someone with like ten zeoes in his account balance. Maybe he thought getting it out of the news cycle was more important then how it would look becoming a thing… too bad lol

doggle ,

Probably rationalized it as being cheaper than legal fees + additional damage to his reputation from a public trial.

Or it happened and he’d have lost.

ZeroCool ,
@ZeroCool@vger.social avatar

Yeah, I remember when this was first reported in 2022.

Viking_Hippie ,

I was thinking the same thing. My second thought was “AGAIN??”

MeatPilot ,
@MeatPilot@lemmy.world avatar

At this point I just imagine Elon starting every conversation with a woman as “do you like horses? Because I have an offer for you”

Viking_Hippie ,

Nah, he’s not THAT bad! He only does it the 800 times a year he flies somewhere in his untracked private jet 😉

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Sometimes when a good flirt line works, you try it again.

So maybe there’s a woman who sold her body for a horse. And this gal got $250k.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Imagine being so rich out-of-touch that you think offering someone something that will cost them a shitload of money to keep in exchange for sex will work with non-rich people.

answersplease77 ,

this’s why it’s a nightmare to be married to a douchbag like him

Pretzilla ,

He had a bunch of horses that came with some land he bought he was trying to get rid of - jeeze

ScruffyDucky ,

TrickDacy ,

Lol nice

peopleproblems ,

No, see, the real mistake he made was being a cheapskate because she definitely had a price, and he thought it was too much. The richest man on earth wanted some ez pz ass and was too cheap to get it.

So she gets a $250k settlement and he looks like a pervert. Real smart man there.

The morale, to me, is that you don’t fucking sexually harass your employees, and if you do, you better fucking be ready to pay the consequences.

TrickDacy ,

Moral*

Horse girls, horse girls

this song www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0owILEBvb0 by Tacocat always cracks me up

Willy ,

I couldn’t make out a single word.

thisbenzingring ,

They’re a punk band so that’s kinda the point but when you have heard it a few times it’s more clear

It’s a funny and smart song. Here’s the lyrics

They know the different breeds Of all their favorite steeds Breyers on their desks Long hair and long necks

Horse girls, horse girls They live in a different world They know the different breeds Of all their favorite steeds Breyers on their desks Long hair and long necks

No time for girls or boys Horses their only joy Work stables for the rides Makes them feel so alive

CheapFrottage ,

How the fuck did he get a horse on the flight in the first place?

werefreeatlast ,

It’s a big plane I assume. You have to see the horse I got my wife. I didn’t have real horse money. But this one changes colors in warm water or cold water. It’s awesome 😎.

homesnatch ,

Shall we assume the color-changing water horse was exchanged for sex?

werefreeatlast ,

Oh wait what? What kind of forum is this!

homesnatch ,

This isn’t H4S?

Passerby6497 , (edited )

I’m not sure what’s more ridiculous, offering her heroin for sex, or giving her the financial liability of taking care of an equine in exchange for 10-20 minutes of disappointment.

xantoxis ,

He was offering to play a game of 1-on-1 basketball with special rules in her driveway.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Reminds me of that job that offered the winner at work a Toyota, and gave her a Toy Yoda. She sued and won.

Tyfud ,

I’m going to be so happy to see his death caused by a likely drug overdose. Not because I take joy in his death, but we’ll finally be rid of having to hear about his stupidity and drama every day.

stiephelando ,

Not because I take joy in his death

Uh, yeah me neither…

A ride for a ride.

Raiderkev ,

This was news like 2 years ago

Jiggle_Physics ,

i think it is older than that now isn’t it? I happened in 2016, i thought it came to the news in like 2019 or 2020… then again, life is like a blur to me, so…
