    This dude is worth 266 billion dollars, but he would rather have 500k sockpuppet accounts on a social media site metaphorically fellate him for behaving like a 4channer than do anything else

    Pathetic

      He has all that money and he still chooses to spend so much time on Twitter of all things plus spend dozens of billions so he could bring all the banned Nazis back.

        He could hire a drill team of actual people to do tricks in front of him like a fucked up tech version of Friedrich Wilhelm and his Potsdam Giants but he’d rather have twitter bots.

        For all the “think of the big picture” techbro shit he has deeply pathetic aspirations.

      For all the hype and vague promises and proselytizing about treat printers saving us from the world’s problems (while currently contributing significantly to those problems right now), the primary purpose of le epic Grok™ seems to be as a magic mirror for my-hero to play Mirror Mirror On The Wall with.

      People like Elon and JK prefer to spend their time doing this shit online, so a minority of people will agree with them. While most people will laugh at them for being a bunch of losers that even with all the money in the world can’t be happy (pretty sure JK was angry because someone sent her this anime meme to her stfu-terf ). In JK’s case it’s funnier that even Elon said her posts were always negative and contribute nothing to life.

      Really fucking stupid to put yourself in these situation and get a bunch of negative press and stress just to spead hate and gain support from literal neonazis. All because they can’t stand the fact other people are happier than them, and the money they have doesn’t make them special or different from any human. At least they could waste their time doing something else, idk, buy a soccer team, a bunch of cars, produce movies, whatever.

    This picture has gotten the Tiananmen Square treatment too

    Everyone forgets that this is just a good still frame from a video and she was completely unbothered after the fact. Fact checkers don’t seem to be concerned about stuff like that though, odd

      It’s a massive fucking lie from the kind of chuds that claim you can’t criticize Dr Professor Lobster Esquire PhD MD unless you’ve watched hundreds of hours of him crying crocodile tears on Youtube first. For context. up-yours-woke-moralists

      That’s why I said it’s a vague stench of it; the idea of “the feeemale is le ugly therefore the feeemale looks like le man” as an insult. Similar shit is done with “this man is not le manly enough therefore let’s call him a feeemale to insult him and maybe physically attack him.” frothingfash

      If it wasn’t for his obscene wealth he’d be just another incel screaming into the void.

      You are so very right there.

      My chuddiest biological relative is basically exactly him but with less money. It’s a miracle he isn’t divorced yet, considering he’s already cheated on his wife many times over and he makes SV “jokes” about his own daughters.

          The most bewildering part about that is that the chud I mentioned called me to brag about it while his mistress was giggling, high as a kite, in the background where I could hear her.

          He lost his shit when I immediately told his wife, whined that he was “betrayed” and even accused me of sleeping around with his wife. grill-broke

              Pretty much, yeah. He was one of those “all social interactions are transactions” creeps. One of the biggest mistakes I ever made with him was asking for money for a medical surgery, which he held over me constantly as an asshole flex.

        SV “jokes” about his own daughters.

        Shit like that is a red flag. You’re right to put that in quotes because a lot of those “jokes” aren’t jokes. It’s hard to approach the subject with children. You want to get them away from that situation but directly asking if their father is abusing them can backfire if it isn’t done at exactly the right time.

          I haven’t seen any immediately visible injury marks on their hands or wrists or necks, but I was anxious about that and expressed my concerns with his wife. The fact that he sometimes raised his hand in anger in a “want to hit them” motion but didn’t because “he just felt that way” even without landing the blow when they did something as rage inducing as… not getting their seat belts on fast enough… made me feel a little sick inside too.

    ngl i feel like elon musk is in a hell of his own making and i sort of love it? he could literally spend his time doing anything. anything. he could probably even have gotten his dream of going to mars or whatever, if he had just quietly paid competent people to do their jobs and remained totally hands-off. hell, he could probably buy a private army and do a coup in some small country somewhere and rule over it as a god-king.

    he sits around and he uses twitter. all day. every single day. not even old, vaguely amusing twitter. elonified twitter. x.

    he certainly deserves worse, but you’ve gotta admit it’s pretty funny to stage a hostile takeover of hell only to spend your time tormenting yourself
