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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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!
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.
Yeah thatās true, pretty much donāt plan to live much longer after diagnosis. Just want justice, nothing in this world left for us, they took all of it.
EDIT: Iām better now, still donāt know if I can stand living besides for the diagnosis.
I think things could get VERY nice if we got our act together. š

OK. I get what you mean. But Iām not touching that shit. Put it in my toilet directly, it will fit right in.
I donāt know about the safety of those kind of secondhand levels of HGH and ket
š½ļø
Me too. I think Reddit is using ai to moderate and itās banning everyone. Soon it will be only bots. Spez donāt care, engagement is engagement even if itās bots.
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.
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
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.
Heās the pedophile criminal immigrant welfare queen the right always hysterically warned about
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.
I see it the same way.
That guys owes us all around 170$.
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.
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.
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.
Give yourself some more creditā¦ Do you really think youād be doing seig heils on stage at the presidential inauguration?
I dunno. 13-year old me was pretty edge lordy and thought inapproriate things were very funny. Iām pretty sure Iāve popped off a few sieg heils in the wrong situation as a young-un.
Not that I would ever have been part of the ideology. I would have just thought it was SO funny for the absurdity of it when, actually, it was just cringe.
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.
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
I described a person I know (who has always been well off) as sheltered not too long ago. The person I said it to disagreed, until I mentioned that this person has never once in their 70 years of life lived under, or anywhere close to the poverty line.
Sheltered. When you live like this, your survival insticts are different. In some people, it also frees them of accountability.
So you get useless fools up at the top of the fucking established heirarchy who canāt do anything for themselves because they never had to.
X-> ASCII 88->literally a Nazi symbol->a literal Nazi->Musk
Is he really that banalā¦? (rhetorical question)
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.
Pfft, I think he just got old. Old people canāt stand each other very much, few exceptions.
drugs.
when you meet older, even long recovered drug addicts, they often have the minds of children. Long term hard drug use seems to freeze brain development in people
Oh. I got forced in an institution to be on Benzos as an 11 year old, then an anti-narcotic for some reason, and other stufd
I still donāt get why people want this much money.
All I want and have is to live comfortably and support my family.
My family may not have been perfect, but I think they at least managed to raise me right in this regard.
The results of affect vs effectā¦
You also get to have a threesome with Amber Herd in her prime, in a public elevator. Doesnt sound so bad.
Omg barf
Having sex with Elon Musk or even as Elon Musk sounds incredibly, existentially unfulfilling.
This just in, a pic of Elon Muskās junk.
Well you would put yourself in his shoes. You wouldnt be him. You are free to make different choices. Or else you are just a prisoner in his head
That much money rots your brain no matter who you are.
