I did not see this published outside of India. But not sure why. It’s all based on Xitter.
Elon Musk could have been remembered as a cool tech guy. All he had to do was just keep running his companies and let the smart people working for him do the talking. Nobody would be the wiser that he didn’t know what he was talking about.
Instead, he let his ego get in the way of things and people know him for who he really is. I used to think he was pretty smart. After reading the things he writes, it became apparent that his companies thrive despite him, not because of him.
I know he still has a lot of dick riders but, honestly, I think him streaming Path of Exile live really hurt him with the demographic that was his main fans. White young to middle age males that play video games.
It became the perfect analogy to use to explain to that group of people why actual engineers and scientists know he’s an idiot. He could hide behind criticism because the average person doesn’t know enough about those things to know what he doesn’t know.
But when all the gaming channels started mocking him for not knowing the games UI and not knowing his (paid for) character at rank 3 had some of THE BEST gear. Dude confused “level required” vs gear item level.
It was just such a great example to show people how much of a complete fraud he was. At least people in that demographic. You didn’t even need to play PoE, if you ever played a game you could tell he had no idea what he was doing in his supposedly top ranked player in the world.
Though you still had people defending it, I think for the casual Elon “fan” in that demographic it was pretty eye opening.
It also says a lot about him that he thought he could get away with faking that. He fakes all his other achievements.
Well said.
Nah he couldn’t cause he’s a fraud. Going right is his exit plan.
He had a pr team helping him, it did wonders for his public image, he became even more narcissistic and got rid of them. also he kinda changed around the time the epstein thing came out too, suspicious?
We noticed.
“Combination Of Depression, Drugs And Stress”
Sounds like my life without billionaire part.
Weird, been a stressed and depressed druggo for a decade and I’ve still somehow avoided becoming a nazi
I thought that he always was an asshole and just dropped the facade, but him once being somewhat sane (as far as billionaires go) and going mad from stress and drug abuse seems like a plausible hypothesis, too. Either way, doesn’t change that he needs to be stopped
He fired his PR team and after that he has been shouting out his true inner self.
Yeah. Not mutually exclusive, either.
Musk’s ketamine dealer should do the world a favor and add a big dose of fentanyl to the next delivery.
Let’s not. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Republicans try to pin the blame on Canada or some bullshit to push their agenda.
One thing I do wonder though is what happens to his empire/money if he were to OD and bite it. Would banks just absorb it to cover loans or is it going to be split across a few dozen illegitimate kids?
Good question. I think it would certainly tank Tesla, xAI, and investors will take over X.
Someone who cares about him needs to take him off the internet permanently
there’s your problem innit
In my opinion, he’s long gone mad, just look at all this nonsense with Twitter and his “awesome” ideas.
So get him the fuck out of anything important
Oh no… anyways…
So we gave up 1 mad king 250 years ago only to pick up 2 now?
🎵 You’ll be back… 🎵
Wonder what would happen to Elmo if Grimes drops the pegging tapes…
Fox News would suddenly push how awesome and Alpha pegging is?
Sounds like a net gain for society.
I think it’s more the money. money causes mental illness.
but you know, there’s a cure, and he employs so very many engineers who could build him one.
Power disparity derived from wealth disparity inevitably leads to unchecked corruption.
Late Stage Capitalism is a malignant cancer on both society and the planet
Hear hear
I think you’re right in some cases. Something about having so much twisted his mind. I honestly think they he never used to be this bad (not saying he was good). But he wasn’t this bad, right?
You are correct.
Previous to ~2013 before the boring company bullshit, he was just a nerdy guy with a vision and poor social skills. From memory, he was hard to work for because he expected so much of people and drove them hard. Yes his early money source is sketchy.
I think the popularity after the boring company started to mess him up, basically he became the memes he was sharing, and it broke his brain, then the drugs and money separated him from reality. Now he is so divorced from the experience of the regular person, that no matter what happens…barring the complete loss of his fortune, he will never be the same nerdy guy.
I think he will just get worse.
The Boring Company was an attempt to destroy the long distance high speed rail californians had voted for. He did this because he hated trains and didn’t want us to have nice things.
that’s pretty fucking evil. imagine how much CO2 would have been saved if that had actually been built.
Back then I wouldn’t put it at evil, I would have gone with malignant greed. The shit he is doing now, is evil.
I like to be careful with terms, so they don’t become watered down, being greedy isn’t evil, it can lead there if taken too far.
I think he lost money on that, and just dropped it after the train program tanked. don’t quote me on it though.
suggests evil.
in the 90s he was such a dick, even peter thiel, the guy who names his dystopian companies after evil artifacts from LOTR, couldn’t deal with him. also he was running in the same circles as peter fucking thiel.
both suggest evil.
when he got rid of his PR team, it was gameover
it’s progressive, but he was also less visible.
It’s devastating to see the toll fentanyl takes on hundreds of thousands of lives every year, destroying families and communities. Yet, it feels incredibly unfair to see someone like Elon Musk openly joke about or trivialize its use. While he may have the privilege to brush it off, so many others don’t have that luxury. It highlights the stark divide between those who face the real consequences of this crisis and those who seem untouched by it. Accountability and awareness matter, especially when it comes to something as serious as fentanyl.
If he gets the wrong batch of K he may very well get dosed with fent.
We should be so lucky
Its speaking of Musk, but whose this skinny Asian guy in the picture?
someone buy him a pistol.
