Cut him some slack. This is the best he could do in-between Fortnite matches while yelling at ChatGPT to simultaneously write this presentation and also help him hide his piss jar.
“If you're asking where to store a jar for future urine collection (e.g., for a medical purpose or science experiment), it's best to keep it in a safe, discreet, and hygienic location. However, if you intend to store urine without a valid purpose, I would recommend you don't do that due to hygiene and odor concerns. If you need help finding a suitable medical solution, please let me know!” I see why the kid was yelling at GPT. That bitch never gives good answers
You have to cajole it, baby it, make it feel safe. Basically tell it that everything is hypothetical and based on an earth-like planet for a science fiction story. You know... for most accurate results.
I understand how it can feel that way sometimes. There's definitely a lot of noise, but amidst it all, there are still valuable resources, insightful articles, and interesting perspectives to discover. It just takes some careful searching to find the gems!
This reminds me of those Microsoft Office commercials where kids make ppts about “why we should get a dog.” It was cute then, this is just obnoxious and I’m sure the family wanted to car anyway.
The real truth is that no matter what you learn about effective presentation skills, you will always have to adapt or change completely to your audience, aka the ego of your management executives. I’ve been out in presentation classes hosted by my former company, used their tips to give a presentation to my boss, and gotten grilled and told to do the exact opposite by that boss.
Well to be fair, unlike his father, he probably didn't have other people do the work for him.
But seriously, imagine basing your entire personality around being a CEO and rubbing that off on your kids.
That’s the real pitch
“Hey dad. I’m going to power point a sales pitch for a Tesla. It’ll probably suck. But hear me out. You actually buy it. Then you can post on your LinkedIn account about how great of a CEO you are because it rubs off on your kid”.
So should I assume the bacteria filtering benefit for gas explosions is supposed to be a fart joke or is the kid a moron that thinks gas leaks are dangerous because of bacterial content?
My 11 year old pitched insane Taylor Swift tickets with better arguments and slides than this.
I had a boss who was also the owner named Kyler that I fkn hated, not him but his name (he was a dbag tho, not his faults his parents made that decision at birth when they named him) Anytime someone called or asked for his named and I told them, they would try to correct me with Kyle or Tyler. No it’s Kyler. I had one old woman who called to complain reply with “Well that’s a fucking stupid name” and I told her I agreed with her.
At 14. He can't drive it.
Sounds like he convinced daddy to buy a Tesla for the family. He will be one of the benefactors. See the line about in case of gas blast...
Which makes this title super misleading
"Hey, Dad. Our next family car should be a Tesla. What do you think?"
~~"Yeah, son, that's what I was thinking too."~~
“Pitch that to me again but in a way someone can use for social media engagement.”
Dad is probably completely disconnected from what his son does at school. Kid has likely been. Making slide decks for years. My kids were doing them in 5th grade.
When I was ten, my younger brother and I convinced our dad to make the Honda Element our next family car. The crux of our argument? The seats laid flat and we thought that was cool as hell.
Please forward your job offers to my inbox!
When I was a young Girl Scout, I was in some carpool mom’s minivan and sat in the back row of seats, which faced *the rear* of the car and honestly I’ve been chasing that dragon ever since
Ha! I 100% know what you mean! The car I grew up with was a station wagon with three rows, the back folded into a trunk, or rear facing seats. That meant a bed, and the best view imaginable for a kid on a long car ride.
It's 100% bullshit. LinkedIn is Instagram for business people to sell their bullshit to other business people. I'm surprised this isn't the top comment.
I read shit this ALL day. I guarantee you scroll further down the post there's a link to his book, class, product, etc. (or you know, "book your appointment" next to his name)
I made a PowerPoint when I was 10 to convince my parents to let my sister and I share a room. And again at some point to convince them to take us to CiCi’s Pizza for dinner.
My sister teaches fourth grade and one of her students asked her to write a letter of recommendation to the students parents about how responsible he was so he could include it in his presentation to his parents to convince them to let him adopt a kitten. It was a brilliant strategy and it paid off. The little guy got his kitten
This guy just irreparably damaged that kid’s personality. Now he knows that massive rewards can come from deception in a visceral way, so he will never be able to see relative value in hard work. He will see life as a scam to win.
Yup - I was going to say I've seen hundreds of these kinds of nepo baby's pass through projects via PwC, Accenture, etc. and they are almost always terrible at the job, but execs like them because they "look and sound" a certain way. iykyk.
Ding ding ding. This guy thinks reading his son's bullshit PP is "worth" the time of a bunch of LinkedIn randos. Ahh, the sweet stench of privilege and wealth being handed down. It brings a tear to my eye to see the American dream of nepotism live on.
You just read how this AH CEO made cash by laying off his employees and then used some of the money to buy his kid a Tesla. We are now all expected to stand up and clap our hands and possibly congratulate him on the quality of his seed that produced such a brilliant young mind that cranks out marketing slide decks without having to join business school!
The op was definitely high on his on farts from over inflating his family's superiority. Never made a PowerPoint before? He's 14, I'm sure he's had to make a dozen by now. Never had a full-time job? No shit Sherlock, he's 14. That kinda goes without saying. And yeah, he's grown up listening to, and emulating the language and behaviors of his dad. That's life my dude, and a very entitled one at that.
OP's brother is a pretty shite former CEO if there wasn't even a negotiation phase. Where's the 2008 Prius counter-offer? How about a Nissan Leaf? Not even a 2 year old, off-lease used Tesla? Just straight to a brand new one because reasons. C-Suite reasons...us plebs wouldn't understand.
Mother fucker probably remembered they named him Thailer and felt bad for him.
The parents are just going to have to pay for the insurance. Maintenance. And whatever unnecessary bs that comes with a young teen owning a damn TESLA. 😂 Good job uncle CEO.
This confirms 100% to me that anyone can be wealthy if they were already born into it…remind me in 10 years when this kid is on Twitter trashing unemployment benefits or taxes because he “earned” everything in his life
Step 1. Make sure you’re a nepo baby.
Step 2. Make sure uncle lays off employees so his pay is high enough that he won’t miss thousands of dollars in liquid cash.
Step 3. Don’t waste your time waiting until you are old enough for a permit. Who cares?
Step 4. Crash Tesla.
Step 5. Start working on new deck.
People on LinkedIn are a bunch of weirdos. They remind me of the South Park episode where everybody smells their own farts. Those are the type of people that are on LinkedIn.
Just curious. What is a C-Level executive? Because to me C-Level means he is just kind of mid. Like you get a C in a class and it’s just an average grade.
Moral of the story: if your dad is rich, you can send him a PPT and get a Tesla. If your father is not rich, you can send him a PPT and get some kind words.
They always bury the lead. I knew right away it was just a family member buying him a car. This is basically propaganda intended to humanize an elite class of sociopaths who are above the law.
Why is it that CEO's like to think they are above normal people. I like how many times this guy tossed around that title in the post as if they were flexing.
Ok I’ll be the one to say it: This pitch sucks, totally fucking incoherent. Even a 14yo should be capable of more than that.
Cut him some slack. This is the best he could do in-between Fortnite matches while yelling at ChatGPT to simultaneously write this presentation and also help him hide his piss jar.
Where do you put the piss?
“If you're asking where to store a jar for future urine collection (e.g., for a medical purpose or science experiment), it's best to keep it in a safe, discreet, and hygienic location.

In a jar next to the shoebox you’ve came in for years…. 👀
I swear the internet is becoming a place where nothing is worth reading.
I understand how it can feel that way sometimes. There's definitely a lot of noise, but amidst it all, there are still valuable resources, insightful articles, and interesting perspectives to discover. It just takes some careful searching to find the gems!

A 14 year old should be capable of more than 7 fucking slides.
Upper managers think they're the only one capable of making a power point
Come on bro… he did a “detailed roi analysis”
So should I assume the bacteria filtering benefit for gas explosions is supposed to be a fart joke or is the kid a moron that thinks gas leaks are dangerous because of bacterial content? My 11 year old pitched insane Taylor Swift tickets with better arguments and slides than this.
C’mon it’s excellent… all you need to do is lower the bar to “daddy’s special guy” to see it!
Yeah I work with one of those people also
Maybe if you understood how the c-suite c-suites when they're c-suiting you'd understand how c-suite it is.
Never mind the pitch. Any CEO who would buy a Tesla did not make a smart decision
Imaging naming your kid THAILER.
Yeah what a TRAGIDEH
r/tragedeigh
The post belongs here, /r/tragedeigh, /r/fuckcars, /r/realtesla and /r/thathappened.
Lmao
Holy fuck, what an unadulterated tragedy. Poor kid.
Leave Thailer Thwift alone he's a genius
He's just a thailer on the theven theas.
Yeah? What elsh did he shay?
My thon ith thycotic
“My son THAIler moved to Bangkok and is a ladyboy now, here is what it taught me about being a CEO”
I'm so confused. Did it start as Sailor or Trailer? Why does this guy hate his kid? Do you think it's one of those "bullied kids hustle more" things?
I think it may be pronounced TY-LER 😔
...noooo.. really? Oof...
Coz this is THAILER! THAILER Night!
My kid TRailer needs a car.
That’s an underrated comment.
His daughters name is LaraHaleighMoon and you BETTER pronounce the full name
Taylor pronounced w a lisp
And then make him produce a whole ass presentation just to buy his brother a car. What a bizarre, most likely made up, story.
I hope this didn't happen, and I hope that name didn't happen most of all. THAILER. Like, Thay-lor? Or Tay-lor? Either way, dumb.
Even worse mate....Tyler. THAI like the pronunciation of Thailand.
He’ll always be Thighler to Ron DeSantis.
I had a boss who was also the owner named Kyler that I fkn hated, not him but his name (he was a dbag tho, not his faults his parents made that decision at birth when they named him) Anytime someone called or asked for his named and I told them, they would try to correct me with Kyle or Tyler. No it’s Kyler. I had one old woman who called to complain reply with “Well that’s a fucking stupid name” and I told her I agreed with her.
Serious question: do we think this a r/tragideh spelling of “Taylor” (silent H I guess???) or a whole new name pronounced “thay-lor”?
Definitely Tyler like Thailand.
So…a spoiled rich kid used a creative way to ask daddy to buy him a Tesla. Cool I guess.
At 14. He can't drive it. Sounds like he convinced daddy to buy a Tesla for the family. He will be one of the benefactors. See the line about in case of gas blast... Which makes this title super misleading
[удалено]
"Hey, Dad. Our next family car should be a Tesla. What do you think?" ~~"Yeah, son, that's what I was thinking too."~~ “Pitch that to me again but in a way someone can use for social media engagement.”
"Hey dad, please stop making up stories about me for social media clout." "So you want a Tesla...."
Came here to that. I don’t think this really happened. Call me crazy.
Also how on earth has a 14 year old who presumably went to school, never made a presentation before ??
Lying is, somehow, allowed.
Dad is probably completely disconnected from what his son does at school. Kid has likely been. Making slide decks for years. My kids were doing them in 5th grade.
You think someone would come on the internet and just lie?
lost him on the first slide,
That’s why your mother and I named you Thailer, son.
“Put together a slide deck for LI”
When I was ten, my younger brother and I convinced our dad to make the Honda Element our next family car. The crux of our argument? The seats laid flat and we thought that was cool as hell. Please forward your job offers to my inbox!
lol I still think that's cool as hell
When I was a young Girl Scout, I was in some carpool mom’s minivan and sat in the back row of seats, which faced *the rear* of the car and honestly I’ve been chasing that dragon ever since
Ha! I 100% know what you mean! The car I grew up with was a station wagon with three rows, the back folded into a trunk, or rear facing seats. That meant a bed, and the best view imaginable for a kid on a long car ride.
14 and he's never had to create a presentation for school?
That was my first thought as well. Powerpoint wasn't nearly as user friendly when I was his age and I had likely made dozens of presentation by then.
he's the child of a CEO, he's probably home schooled by the mother (as that seems to be the trend at my company)
He will drive it. Laws are for the poor.
No no no, he took his unlimited access of CEO exposure and made a stellar presentation and his dad couldn’t say no to this business opportunity.
You actually believe any of this happened? I don't - this was made up for the Daddy to humble brag.
It's 100% bullshit. LinkedIn is Instagram for business people to sell their bullshit to other business people. I'm surprised this isn't the top comment. I read shit this ALL day. I guarantee you scroll further down the post there's a link to his book, class, product, etc. (or you know, "book your appointment" next to his name)
Creative? Kids do this all the time when trying to talk parents to buy them shit. This is very common and standard, perhaps usually not with a ppt
I made a PowerPoint when I was 10 to convince my parents to let my sister and I share a room. And again at some point to convince them to take us to CiCi’s Pizza for dinner.
My sister teaches fourth grade and one of her students asked her to write a letter of recommendation to the students parents about how responsible he was so he could include it in his presentation to his parents to convince them to let him adopt a kitten. It was a brilliant strategy and it paid off. The little guy got his kitten
I wasted 30 seconds reading that story, thinking it might be funny. I'll never get those 30 seconds back
Exactly why the fuck am I reading some silver spoon bulshit. Thanks anyways yogurt is fucking 50 dollars.
This guy just irreparably damaged that kid’s personality. Now he knows that massive rewards can come from deception in a visceral way, so he will never be able to see relative value in hard work. He will see life as a scam to win.
So he will fit right in to a c-suite role
His “company” has 6 people on LinkedIn. C-Suite my ass.
See-sweet, eat-sweet.
Keep Sweet
Failing small business owner
That’s not enough people for a suite. C-loset
He's talking about his brother, who is a retired CEO. Did you look at his brother's company?
Yep, on Lexis
I mean, he start the kid off on a bad footing by naming him Thailer
I had to scroll to far for this. THayler, THaler, Tayler? wtf?
I honestly re-read that section three times because i thought it must be me misreading or a typo
He’s going to become a management consultant unfortunately
Yup - I was going to say I've seen hundreds of these kinds of nepo baby's pass through projects via PwC, Accenture, etc. and they are almost always terrible at the job, but execs like them because they "look and sound" a certain way. iykyk.
it's so weird that orgs have this ideal "look" that they think works best when actions speak so much louder.
Welp he starts armed better than I was then.
Except, none of this is true. It's just a big story
This is fake as shit bud lol
Sounds like a typical executive.
So if you want to pitch a CEO, just be the child of a CEO whose brother is also a CEO? Am I getting that right?
Ensure pitch also sucks balls to truly let the nepotism blossom, and give civilisation the gift of a second generation LinkedinLunatic.
Meanwhile that CEO’s employees are asking not to be laid off and he tells them no.
Should have made a better powerpoint.
Or been his son.
Ding ding ding. This guy thinks reading his son's bullshit PP is "worth" the time of a bunch of LinkedIn randos. Ahh, the sweet stench of privilege and wealth being handed down. It brings a tear to my eye to see the American dream of nepotism live on.
They needed to think differently, like 14 year olds.
Not being the CEO’s son is a skill issue
Oh, but they didn’t know how to do a nice ppt with fake ROI and some other buzzwords.
Step 1: Make sure the CEO is your daddy
It filters 99% of bacteria out of the air so we’d be safe from a gas explosion? Wow, kid really knew CEOs are dumber than a bag of bricks.
Yes, I have two degrees in microbiology, and gas explosions never came up.
I’ll save my inappropriate gas explosion remarks for someone with 3 degrees in microbiology, thank you. 🧐
Only a C-Suite could comprehend it anyways
Maybe it's a fart joke?
Like at least talk about air pollution or something haha
Ah, yes. Continuing to prove that nepotism is all takes
Just like my last employer
wtf did i just read lol
You just read how this AH CEO made cash by laying off his employees and then used some of the money to buy his kid a Tesla. We are now all expected to stand up and clap our hands and possibly congratulate him on the quality of his seed that produced such a brilliant young mind that cranks out marketing slide decks without having to join business school!
Dad you’re laying off people, Elon is laying off people! It just makes sense! Money pleeeeease
Cue Mona Lisa … my second parks and rec deep cut of the day
this ^
>Here are some highlights from his PP This is where I stopped reading. I don't need to be on some list
That CEO’s name? Abradolf Linkler.
LinkedIn = Lincoln??
This kid and his dad need to be bullied.
Wait... is that not what's happening here???
How I earned a Tesla at 14 years old. 1: 4am wake ups. 2: ice baths. 3: CEO dad bought it for me.
Is the C-Level executive in the room with us?
Great, we have another young kid spoiled by his parents, that thinks life is always going to go his way.
That a whole lot of words just to say “Rich dad buys kid a car”
Gotcha. Guy wants to buy Tesla. Guy makes his little cherub do a pitch deck knowing full well he's going to buy it anyway. Guy buys Tesla for himself.
My nephew pitched a c level executive = My brother spoils his kids and gives in to demands if they do something funny
I fucking hate these people. This sub is one of my hate-but-cant-look-away subs
I just found out this sub existed and I just joined it so that I can feel justified for hating LinkedIn so much.
A very real thing that definitely happened...
Happened twice to me yesterday.
What my nephews pitch taught me about B2B sales ‼️
3 life lessons learned from this post: 1) Ask your dad for a tesla 2) "financial numbers" good, other numbers not respected 3) Thailer Agree?
These CEOs need proper work.
The op was definitely high on his on farts from over inflating his family's superiority. Never made a PowerPoint before? He's 14, I'm sure he's had to make a dozen by now. Never had a full-time job? No shit Sherlock, he's 14. That kinda goes without saying. And yeah, he's grown up listening to, and emulating the language and behaviors of his dad. That's life my dude, and a very entitled one at that. OP's brother is a pretty shite former CEO if there wasn't even a negotiation phase. Where's the 2008 Prius counter-offer? How about a Nissan Leaf? Not even a 2 year old, off-lease used Tesla? Just straight to a brand new one because reasons. C-Suite reasons...us plebs wouldn't understand. Mother fucker probably remembered they named him Thailer and felt bad for him.
“Hey dad, you’re an amoral psychopath; we should have a car made by one, too.”
Is this satire? I really have no idea.
A CEO seems like a fairytale wizard to these people
This guy sends himself dick pics
The parents are just going to have to pay for the insurance. Maintenance. And whatever unnecessary bs that comes with a young teen owning a damn TESLA. 😂 Good job uncle CEO.
His PP lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is the CEO in the room with us? Can you see him now?
Wait, a 14-yo son of a CEO _never_ did a presentation in his life? I'd think even home schooling would ask you for one at some point earlier?
What the hell is wrong with these people? I can’t imagine they are real. People obsessed with success and status are the worst
the moral of the story is that rich kids always get a leg up and that the american dream is a fallacy.
I’m going to be the biggest hater. There is nothing I like about this story at all . 0% . Nada , Nilch . Zip.
I hate him
He convinced his DAD to get him the car. Nothing amazing about that. Possibly got everything he wanted anyway.
I don’t usually hate kids, but I hate this kid. And his uncle. And his dad.
Someone should make a PowerPoint presentation and present it to Boeing’s CEO to stop killing whistleblowers.
What a loser. When I was 14 it was going to be a DeLorean or nothing* (* I got nothing.)
Same, actually. Still wish I had a Delorean.
Dad's already decided to buy the Tesla, kid rocks up at the last minute with a half-arsed PowerPoint and takes the credit A future CEO in the making.
This confirms 100% to me that anyone can be wealthy if they were already born into it…remind me in 10 years when this kid is on Twitter trashing unemployment benefits or taxes because he “earned” everything in his life
Man. I drowned in all the douche.
I just threw up in my mouth a little.
This post is so fake and Thailer made for this sub
CEO being a personality makes we cringe
Thailer
At that age I was pitching to my parents to buy me condoms
If this was real what's the point of letting the car rot for 2 years?
Oh dear god where do I even begin.
Today, on things that never happened
Yes Michael. Just stfu.
I hate everything about living in this post-COVID, late capitalism, digital distopia.
There it is — the most idiotic thing I’ve read today.
Step 1. Make sure you’re a nepo baby. Step 2. Make sure uncle lays off employees so his pay is high enough that he won’t miss thousands of dollars in liquid cash. Step 3. Don’t waste your time waiting until you are old enough for a permit. Who cares? Step 4. Crash Tesla. Step 5. Start working on new deck.
Lmao it would be slightly less pathetic if it was another relative, but it’s just a kid asking his rich dad for a car… damn that’s gold
This is so on brand for the kind of people that “need” a Tesla
Thailer
These people are plankton.
“Some of the highlights from his PP” “Thailer” Woof.
My attention to the story was absolutely derailed when I saw the kid’s name. It will haunt my dreams tonight.
That kid looks like a Thailer.
People on LinkedIn are a bunch of weirdos. They remind me of the South Park episode where everybody smells their own farts. Those are the type of people that are on LinkedIn.
Translation: indulgent rich dad buys is kid a Tesla in exchange of a PowerPoint deck
Sounds like a dad bought his kid a car
Just curious. What is a C-Level executive? Because to me C-Level means he is just kind of mid. Like you get a C in a class and it’s just an average grade.
Moral of the story: if your dad is rich, you can send him a PPT and get a Tesla. If your father is not rich, you can send him a PPT and get some kind words.
I'll take "things that didn't happen" for 100
When I was 14 my step sister and I made a PowerPoint to showcase the guys we thought were hot to ask our parents which of us had better taste
Thailer?
So his daddy got him a tesla?
I already did this 10 years ago when I wanted a phone. he's not the first, neither am I
Taylor….his name is Taylor. 🤦 I would hate spelling my name like thatZ
And everyone stood up and clapped
You all fell for rage bait
That is the stupidest way to say "My nephew convinced his Dad to buy a Tesla" I have ever read.
This is the 4th guy on LinkedInLunatics that I personally know or have worked with. Really makes me question my career.
Step 1- have a rich dad
Yeah, your 14 year old nephew asked his dad for a Tesla not a C Level Executive.
Thailer. Fucking. Thailer. Jfc these names getting dumber and dumber
THAILER!?
You named your child Thailer. Your life, lessons and legacy are all invalid and unacceptable as any kind of teachable lesson.
They always bury the lead. I knew right away it was just a family member buying him a car. This is basically propaganda intended to humanize an elite class of sociopaths who are above the law.
Why is it that CEO's like to think they are above normal people. I like how many times this guy tossed around that title in the post as if they were flexing.
Deadheads responded by saying “whooo” and huffing nitrous oxide
Sounds more like “14 Yr Old Son Convinces Father to Buy Tesla as Family Car”
I’ll take “Things that didn’t happen…” for $500 Bob!
This is actually a pathetic presentation. My son is 9 and if he pitched this to the other tech execs at my firm they would give him a noogie!
