      And only I can say that. If you try to LITERALLY SAY THE SAME TO ME, I'll sue ya. That said, capitalism is the fairest society we'll ever live in :)

    It constantly amazes me how much of history has been driven by and how much wealth has been concentrated in the hands of absolute fucking manchildren.

      does beg the question: what could make them to turn all at once? I can only imagine either the system itself that propped him up going away or like steve jobs, a shinnier, stupider tech wizard comes around and the new blood flows to them instead.

        I thought they'd turn on him when the Tesla shareholders forced him to resign as president for making a bunch of comically stupid tweets. I figured that would finally black-pill them into accepting that 1) Musk is a man-child 2) Musk, like nearly all Silicon Valley tech capitalists (except for the stupidly rich ones like Bezos and Gates), are betas who can be easily disciplined by the alpha finance capitalists associated with the major investment banks who own large chunks of Tesla stock.

    I actually love Elon. His twitter bullshit is like the universe emptying a full clip into the idea of meritocracy, and he does it every day, very publicly, for free!

    He has done more to advance socialism than anyone here. Do better.

    Of course I also hate his dumb cult, his wasting of public money on nonsense, and his stupid fuckin face. But hey, nobody's perfect.

      What drives me crazy is how he can do no wrong by his lunatic followers. I remember very distinctly when he announced he'd reopen factories illegally during the pandemic, there was some young guy replying like "damn Elon you're going on hard on this one you madman" or something, like this obviously selfish and evil thing was just a big goof.

    I wonder if in 1000 years when the global population is a few million all living in Siberia or something, there will be legends about He Who Killed The Sky, creator of the Celestial Nexus beyond which the true cosmos will remain hidden for eternity. If I could talk to him in person, I'd say "ummm excuse me Sir, but Wall-e is a cautionary tale not an INSTRUCTION MANUAL, fuckface"

    He looks like he's about to spit in that baby's mouth.

    That's a really weird thing to do.

    Don't do that, Elon Musk.

        I mean I don't hate my dad. And I don't hate the people that have been duped into thinking he's cool or inspiring or w/e. Musk himself sucks ass because he is responsible for immiserating his workers, workers in the global south, and workers in general.

          I hear ya. And I hear that a lot, feel the same way with leepicatheist guys or HNGTRIFUCKINGLOVESCIENCE types. Lots of them come from really rough backgrounds and you know they're just trying to reach ways to escape their situation, but this is the best they got that actually melds with what they think they are and want to be. Yeah, indirectly Musk is the biggest poison in our lives over its fans.

        Both. Easily. Musk's "cult" think his shit doesn't stink and he shits solid gold.

        "The Boring Company will work!" "So a more shitty Subway will work?" "WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

        Same with Starlink. "Satellite internet has had tremendous lag. You seriously think online gaming/etc. is going to work with better coverage?" "No, see there will be more 'lites up in space [ignoring space junk problem]! The speeds will be insane!!!!"

        But Musk is worse. Half his ideas are pipe-dreams. The others are fucking awful "engineering solutions" that aren't actually solutions (cave diving tubes)

          “The Boring Company will work!” “So a more shitty Subway will work?” “WORK!!!”

          The best way I could understand The Musky mindset is that it doesn't matter if it works or not. If it's harmful or not. Or if it even they like it or not. Musk made it and Musk will save us all by virtue of being Iron Man, so it's all a step towards tesla-valhalla.

          But Musk is worse. Half his ideas are pipe-dreams. The others are fucking awful “engineering solutions” that aren’t actually solutions (cave diving tubes)

          He's so fucking stuck in his late teens. But, to the world's detriment, he has the ridiculous amount of money to never have to deal with it.

            Musk isn't even Ironman. At least Tony admits his problems. Musk has engineers or train engineers tell him the problem with his moonshots and he either goes "NO U" or "PEDO!"

          with the best part being every single one of his bacon-flavored bootlickers working overtime to be like 'LOL SILLY PEOPLE, WITH FEELINGS, DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT ELON'S BEYOND DOING BAD THINGS, HE'S JUST OWNING YOU SO HARD BY RUINING UNTOLD AMOUNTS OF PEOPLES LIVES'

          welp, there's only so much you can do. in the end, is something they must choose for themselves and might be gone gradually. I mention his followers because obv by most of us only dealing w-musk thru social media, we only engage directly with his followers.

    The one thing that brings me hope is that as the mask slowly starts to slip more and more people seem to be getting wise to how much of an asshole he is.

    If central park ever happens, let's hope Musk is one of the first in line.
