If his relationships to the people close to him are a train wreck, Muskās relationship with the public isnāt much better. As the years go on, itās become clear that he badly wants to be seen as cool, funny, and popular, and yet the harder he tries to win everyoneās admiration, the less cool he becomes. Lately, his public antics just exude a desperate, sweaty energy that makes him painful to watch.
There was the godawful ālet that sink inā joke that he used to announce his arrival to Twitterās headquarters, carrying a physical porcelain sink; the stupid X-shaped jumping jack he kept doing for a while, apparently to resemble the logo of āX the Everything Appā; the cowboy hat incident; the photo he posted of his bedside table with a huge gun and four cans of Diet Coke on it; the poem (Maybe religionās not so bad / To keep you from being sad). In his comprehensive, largely flattering biography, Walter Isaacson writes that Muskās ājokes tended to be filled with smirking references to 69, other sex acts, body fluids, pooping, farts, dope smoking, and topics that would crack up a dorm room of stoned freshmen.ā (More like a classroom of sixth-graders.)
[It seems that writing a methodical analysis of all the cringey things Elon Musk has done is such a odyssean feat that you begin to sound like James Joyce in your run on lists disguised as sentences that never endā¦]
At one point, Musk admitted that he pays other people to play video games for him, so heāll quickly get the highest scores and levels and Twitch streamers will see him as a āliving god of video games.ā For him, the point is not to enjoy the games, but to acquire whatever token or icon marks you as having won them, and thus earn the admiration of nerds who watch livestreams all day. And he couldnāt even get that, because when Musk attempted to stream himself playing Path of Exile 2 last year, the audience trolled him relentlessly, posting āYOU HAVE NO REAL FRIENDS AND WILL DIE ALONEā over and over in the chat box. But just caring about this kind of thing in the first place is the pathetic part, and apparently no amount of money can fix that.
You can tell he is clearly a lonely and insecure man. There is a set of pictures that went viral of him in his college dorm released by his ex-girlfriend. He was hanging out with friends and said ex-girlfriend. His smile in those pictures had been the most genuine you could ever see from him. Nowadays, he just force himself.
Heās the pedophile criminal immigrant welfare queen the right always hysterically warned about
I lowkey owe Musk for finding my way here. I was on Reddit and there was a post about his trillion dollar milestone. I posted a commentā¦āIs it time to eat him yet?ā. And got my 10 year old account perma banned. I like it much better here already. Soā¦IS it time to eat him yet? I guess you do so at risk of getting very high when he ākicks inā.
OK. I get what you mean. But Iām not touching that shit. Put it in my toilet directly, it will fit right in.
Yep. In my completely unbiased opinion most of humanity is feeling pretty much done with this, and thatās why the oligarchs are counting on AI.
š½ļø
I donāt know about the safety of those kind of secondhand levels of HGH and ket
Kind of incredible how we all have a story like that from Reddit. Their new policy must be hemorrhaging active users.
As for Musk, 1 trillion is a meaningles number, itās like saying he has infinity + 1 moneyās.
The comments are garbage compared to a few years ago. Itās either overrun with bots or more dumb normies (a la YouTube comments) than before.
I never had any issues with getting banned, but I wasnāt using their shitty app, so I left.
Same, after switching to browser only for a while I finally left when they removed /r/all. It is now basically impossible to discover new communities without explicitly searching for the subject.
They removed r/all?!?
Yep, reddit.com/r/all just redirects you to your default front page now. The new ābestā sorting (which replaces Hot as the default) is equally as sinister as it tries to feed you an infinite scroll of always new content youāve never seen rather than just whatās currently popular. This further allows them to control your content via algorithm rather than whatās actually busy at the moment.
Active non-robot users.
I believe so too. I was a daily user and got shadow banned in the last month for saying fuck off. They donāt even bother telling you youāre blocked so they can avoid having to justify it. Itās baffling how they think theyāll have any humans left soon.
I got banned just by updooting Luigi posts. Fuck reddit.
Itās Reddit. You can be banned for saying, āGood morningā.
I hadnāt heard that one. What a bunch of looney tunes.
The best time to eat Musk was yesterday
The second best time is today!
If you were not happy at two million, you wonāt be happy at one trillion or ten trillion. Broken fucking nazi needs to stop paying confused women to have kids and go away. Get in your bunker and time lock the door for 40 years to āown da libzā
Heās such a fraud in everything he claims to be that he canāt even fucking play a video game for himself. No wonder he loves AI, he canāt do anything for himself
My whole consolation on finding out he is or would be a trillionaire was basically āat least heāll still be miserable.ā
Itās honestly both the funniest and saddest thing is that heās only become shittier and more miserable as heās gotten richer. Thereās pretty much a direct correlation between the two.
Imagine having all that money and not doing anything good with itā¦ Well I guess it goes without saying no one becomes a trillionaire without being a colossal PoS parasite.
Nothing of value will be lost when he finally dies. Still, Iād like to see him get jail time for helping steal the election. Federal jail.
Nobody earns a trillion (or even a billion) dollars. They take it from someone else.
There was a good talk about that but I donāt have the link.
About how there is a finite amount of worth based on labour/resources in our closed earth system, so those that amassed that much wealth have 100% stolen it from everyone else.
And rebalancing that only occurred to a handful of billionaires. The rest dgaf.
Elon Musk has the personality, maturity, insecurity of a 13-year old kid with Aspergerās / autism.
I relate.
I mean, Iām about 30 years removed from the experience of a 13-year-old sperger and I would probably be just as fucking cringe as this worthless dildo if I never figured out how to grow the fuck up. If I had to trade places with Elon, and take on all of his personal baggage and lose all of my lifeās wisdom in the processā¦ Hard no. Nope, not for a trillion.
Yeah, I feel weird about this, but (I think) I perfectly empathize with his feelings. His behavior on the other hand, feels like something I would do in a nightmare, like my brain is trying to conjure up the worst possible thing to do in any given situation like a weird call of the void intrusive thought.
Well said. I can 100% understand his desperation for acceptance and delusions. Heās a lot of people if they had a trillion dollars and no grounding.
To me the point of Data, the character from Star Trek is that they spend all this time debating and philosophizing over whether Data can love because he is an artificial consciousness and yet none of it matters because Data is the most loving character in the series regardless, to which my point is that not everyone grows up understanding how to interact with other humans well or finds it intuitive, but that is a separate question than love, which Elon possesses none of.
Social media influencer Tiffany Fong, for instance, noticed that Musk āstarted liking and replying to her posts,ā driving engagement and revenue to her account, and then āsent her a direct message asking if she was interested in having his child,ā even though they had never met in person. Fong declined, and when Musk found out that she had told others about his offer, he chastised her and unfollowed her, leading her new earnings to evaporate.
I followed Tiffany Fong during the SBF trial. I think she was leaning sorta right-wing-ish so I decided to tap out.
Really creepy Musk behaviour though. Shows you how weird and sad these guys are.
Dude pays people to play his video games and pays other people to inseminate women with his sperm
lol he lives life like itās just a series of high scores. Most money, most children, most literal video game high scores.
Someone should link him to āhighest altitude ever jumped for suicideā or ālargest caliber used in suicideā
Yeah itās very āquantitativeā rather than āqualitativeā ā¦ some of his children want nothing to do with him yet he probably thinks just the sheer number of his āgenesā going out there is a good thing.
If he knew about the Russian royal family, he would be taking a different strategy right now.
X-> ASCII 88->literally a Nazi symbol->a literal Nazi->Musk
Is he really that banalā¦? (rhetorical question)
The results of affect vs effectā¦
