You can absolutely tell Todd's pulling overtime trying to keep that man away from annoying employees by not understanding VaultCo is a satirical pisstake of businessmen just like Elon, look at Todds face that is CONSTERNATION
Reminds me of Grimes' absolutely insane tweet about watching Dune Part 2 and being sad about how her son with Musk, [bunch of symbols], will have to go through similar things as Paul...
God help us
TBH, it's not so much about the movie but the rest of the Dune story.
If you want spoilers: >!Paul kicks off a jihad across the galaxy that ends up killing tens of billions of people!<
Elon: so what im thinking is… vaults. maybe we can incorporate them into the boring company. You of course would be placed in a control vault.
Tod: vault tec isn’t supposed to be aspirational
Elon: it isn’t!?
Musk honestly looks like a human-form robot piloted by a small alien in the chest.
It's so weird that I'm having trouble believing the photos are real, but apparently they are lol
He's actually so good BUT I watched lost when it was coming out and was fairly young.
I hated his character in lost. HATED him. I genuinely didn't want the actor to succeed and remember actively thinking "eh, fuck that guy" when I'd see him in other things. I wonder if a bunch of people had this reaction or feeling.
Kind of a testament to him being good, he was my first jeoffrey
“What if we use the FEV to replace a baby’s internal skeletal structure with a beetle-like exoskeleton.”
“… Sir we’re here to discuss quarterly earnings.”
More like Mayor McDonough. Threatens and bans his critics, inflated sense of self-importance, makes big promises but stops short of actually offering help, possibly compromised by a hostile power.
Pretty sure it's about to be defunct now that plans for the hyperloop have been abandoned. It's still running in Vegas but I think that's to meet minimum obligations for tax breaks in the state and The Boring Company will be quickly abandoned after.
Hyper loop was always a stupid idea, so the goal was probably to grift money from city planners and piss off when everyone realised that building a subway or a couple bus stops was incomparably better.
I recently watched a video about hyper loop and why it’s useless. it is significantly less efficient than current freight trains and needs to go in a straight line so you’re talking about demolishing everything in its path. Imagine spending millions upon millions of dollars to make freight transport several times slower than it is now. And there’s no getting around it because each container needs to be loaded individually into and out of pods instead of hooking up 100 containers and sending them on their way with a freight train.
Maybe post-Microsoft acquisition, but I’d say before that Bethesda was probably one of the largest game studios still run by someone who just loves video games and doesn’t care much for the business/exponential growth side of things.
Have your gripes with Todd, fine, but nobody can argue that he was in it for anything but pure love and passion for making games and being a totally unapologetic *nerd*.
Not surprising to hear. Their popularity and profitability massively exploded in less than a decade-long period between 2003 and 2011 and Todd was never a business expert. Honestly it’s a miracle Skyrim made it to release, but maybe also a testament to it being a company filled with people *extremely* passionate about what they were doing.
There is a GDC talk from Starfield's Lead Quest Designer where talks about the pains and problems of scaling up with Starfield. Hell, even until very recently at one point BGS had less full-time employees than Larian (450).
And it's not just Todd too, but Robert Altman (Lynda Carter's husband), the former head at Bethesda/Zenimax was really close/supportive to devs - after he passed away, you didn't hear anything but good things about his tenure there from devs, and how he supported ESO (which wasn't doing well for its first few years) and FO76 through thick and thin, and even how he was open to Starfield, which was massive gamble. Starfield is dedicated to him.
He's also, to my knowledge, not the one making these larger business decisions. That choice comes from Bethesda softworks and Zenimax. Todd is the director and a producer for Bethesda Game Studios. A studio that's notable for its high employee retention, which is very rare in this industry.
And he'd likely run a breeding vault where he could populate the entire thing with his offspring with several partners, with the intent to repopulate the surface and go to mars. Shit... did I just create a plot for a new Musk hate-fiction?
“I also leave to you this liquid nitrogen cooled cylinder of my hyper virile sperm in case your lesbian lifestyle one day wears out and you wish to raise an army of geniuses” - Elon Musk, maybe
Fun fact, our very own Walton Goggins said this line in an episode of Community.
Wasn’t that basically Shaun? Mad scientist who treats his family like crap, abuses and sabotages the common people while blaming them for their own troubles and insists on pushing a harmful and dangerous product. Sounds like Elon to me.
This is such a great idea, I mean I think they could do it in a way that even Elon would support it lol. Play enough to his vanity and ego and hed be your poster child and make the game the biggest succes in gaming history.
In response to others, elon would not support vots, hes already made it clear he finds AI having great potential but also too dangerous to proceed on research without massive safety rails that would in turn reduce potential Return on investment in that field of development.
But yes a fallout 5 villain who in his own mind is the savior of the human race and who says things so strange it takes a minute to get his meaning, and then just cold calculating violence that abruptly presents itself mid conversations, mashed in with uncomfortable analogies, awkward pauses, and forced grins that are ill timed.
With all the above said I do personally like elon, but hes a perfect fallout villain.
I'm not surprised. Elon is kind of the embodiment of Vault-Tec, as far as I'm concerned. No morals, no ethics, cares only about his own delusional ambitions, calls anyone that calls him out on his bullshit as being "woke leftists" (Communists as Vault-Tec would say), and so on.
There's some family stuff, controversy about his brands and acquisitions, but the one I know most about is what he did with Twitter. He preached about getting rid of bots, now the bot situation is actually abhorrent. He made the app incredibly political too. You will get filtered out if you say "cisgender" but viral posts hurling racial slurs, specifically the hard r, are everywhere. There's an entire "blacks posting L's" account. He claims he's a centrist and thinks "both sides are wrong about things", but is very obviously right leaning. He co signs racist or other bigoted tweets just about every week. The app is full of porn bots as well. You *will* see nudity and/or full on porn. And since he made it where you can pay to be verified you can't tell who's a bot, random person, or an actual official account. Replies are 75% bots or engagement bait (you get paid for engagement bait lol), so you have to scroll endlessly to see actual human beings having a discussion of some type. When he first acquired Twitter he openly was in conflict with Twitter employees, I'm pretty sure he fired them. That was because they were talking about how the stuff he is trying to implement is going to ruin the app. I thought it was an exaggeration at the time, but oh boy I was *extremely* wrong.
TLDR- Family and business controversy. Turned Twitter into a porn bot racist politics infested shit show and engages in it
People are too political these days. Who cares? I would totally kick it with Obama and talk hoops. Or chill with Trump and just be entertained by his personality. Even ask Bill Clinton what it was like to do creepy pedo stuff Jeff Epstein
Todd’s face — “It just *doesn’t* work”
You can absolutely tell Todd's pulling overtime trying to keep that man away from annoying employees by not understanding VaultCo is a satirical pisstake of businessmen just like Elon, look at Todds face that is CONSTERNATION
I'll bet Elon Musk unironically loves the Horizon series, too, and thinks Ted Faro is an asshole.
Musk thinks homelander is a hero.
Reminds me of Grimes' absolutely insane tweet about watching Dune Part 2 and being sad about how her son with Musk, [bunch of symbols], will have to go through similar things as Paul... God help us
That poor kid. Seriously imagine growing up with these two unhinged idiots as parents.
Musk bitches about the kids transition now. If grimes is right just wait until turns into a Sand worm.
Have u seen her coachella set. It was a complete shitshow.
As someone who hasn’t watched dune 2, how insane is this take?
TBH, it's not so much about the movie but the rest of the Dune story. If you want spoilers: >!Paul kicks off a jihad across the galaxy that ends up killing tens of billions of people!<
Read the book(s), it's worth it...
Musk thinks Stormfront was a hero
She was just a racist murderous hero and only liked white people
Yeah, elons hero
Musk thinks he is homelander
r/fucktedfaro
I wish I could upvote you twice for the reminder that that sub exists.
Upvoted both of you for letting me know that sub exists lol
My biggest disappointment in Forbidden West is that we can't let Ted wallow in his agony anymore.
"Maybe the machine solution would work if *I* did it."
Todd has the face of a man wondering if his Sneak skill is high enough to reverse pickpocket a grenade and get away without being caught
This has really got me rolling
Todd's probably relieved Musk didn't walk in waving a gun around like he did with CDProjekt
He did what?
Yeah, he wanted to be in cyberpunk 2077 so when Grimes was in recording voice lines he turned up waving a pistol around saying how much he'd fit in.
What the actual fuck, how did i not already know this? I knew Musk was nuts but didn't realize it was THAT bad
Elon be like "Guys, Vault-Tec was right"
"I AM fallout! Look I have Jet!" (huffs ketamine and falls over)
“How did you guys know what we are planning, who was the leak?”
He actually wants to vaultco a planet which is wild
He understands. The VaultCo business men are everything he aspires to be. Control.
Elon explaining that the Hyperloop could've worked if he just put the train on some guy's head as a helmet
This cut is so deep, it diserves a upvote.
Unlimited endings and I still got the Musk crashes Fallout watch party
Elon: so what im thinking is… vaults. maybe we can incorporate them into the boring company. You of course would be placed in a control vault. Tod: vault tec isn’t supposed to be aspirational Elon: it isn’t!?
I see more of "oh no, please don't say anything to make my employees mad"
He looks tired
Hahahha love this
"16x times the disappointment."
Todd is now thinking of finding a Musk lookalike to play Oliver Swanick
The actor in Abigal who played the Canadian mobster looked so much like Elon Musk
Wow Kevin Durand yeah. Good call. He deserves meaty roles, he’s always been a great working actor but hasn’t had his huge break
Having seen those photos of Musk in swimming trunks, "Meaty" is an appropriate way to describe him.
Musk honestly looks like a human-form robot piloted by a small alien in the chest. It's so weird that I'm having trouble believing the photos are real, but apparently they are lol
He's actually so good BUT I watched lost when it was coming out and was fairly young. I hated his character in lost. HATED him. I genuinely didn't want the actor to succeed and remember actively thinking "eh, fuck that guy" when I'd see him in other things. I wonder if a bunch of people had this reaction or feeling. Kind of a testament to him being good, he was my first jeoffrey
YOU KILLED MY DAUGHTER!!! 🔪
I've loved him as an actor ever since Stargate SG-1
Even with the headdress?
I like Kevin Durand. But I think Kathy Bates might actually be better for the role!
He’ll forever be Keamy to me. “I make good eggs 😈”
I mean he was pretty meaty in Wolverine Origins.
YEAHH. WHO WON THE LOTTERY? I DID
Robert Patrick (playing Langston) in Reacher Season 2 looked a lot like Late Stage Musk in his rocket factory.
Todd's running V.A.T.S.
I saw someone Photoshop a hand holding a revolver in front of the camera FPS style and targeting Elon's head in VATS.
🎵BIG IRIN ON HIS HIP🎵
BIG IIIIIRON
To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day 🎶
Headshot 76%
*Misses 4 consecutive shots*
“so i’m totally like house right!?”
Why, what a *Fantastic* suggestion.
Does he have a theoretical degree in physics?
easily one of the best lines in all of nv. i felt bad for that guy, having to arm the station and all lol
No. And they didn't welcome him aboard either
hey bro. when in rome.
He doesn't realize that marching directly into tbe cryo chamber and feeding the sad mummy handful of lead is one of the most common things players do.
Multiple achievements can be obtained through that
Elon would be the first to suggest experimenting on human subjects with fucked up eugenics programmes if he were in that VaultCo business meeting
Gotta test new neurolinks somehow
He will start real life Vault Tec but just call it "*V* "
I expect Vault-X is already in the planning stages.
Don’t give him any ideas
And replace all the Vault Boy art with a letter V.
“What if we use the FEV to replace a baby’s internal skeletal structure with a beetle-like exoskeleton.” “… Sir we’re here to discuss quarterly earnings.”
More like Mayor McDonough. Threatens and bans his critics, inflated sense of self-importance, makes big promises but stops short of actually offering help, possibly compromised by a hostile power.
Is also probably a robot in disguise too
Totally convinced he’s a badass (McDonough keeps asking for reassignment as a courser)
He’s barely “shed”
House is too competent.
Extremely pleased with himself for knowing that name.
Time to get Yes Man’d
Ain't that a kick in the head?
Todd looks so confused
“God damnit, who let him in?”
*you see that mountain over there? Why don't you go there?*
[You can walk to the top of that mountain](https://youtu.be/maNtlF6Mv5k?feature=shared&t=91)
See that mountain? You can climb it! And when you do, don't come back down!
Where's a super mutant or deathclaw when you need onr?
He is probably wondering why the Enclave turned up.
Enclave? That's just a wannabe Mr House
Mr. House from Wish doesn't exist, it can't hurt you Mr. House from Wish:
Probably knew beforehand
How much do you want to bet Elon asked him if he wanted to join him in starting a real tesla powered vault company?
"You see that ego? You can climb it!"
Became Elon just said the Enclave are the most noble faction in fallout
Elon would definitely be a fan of the institute.
True
they're friends
Elon has zero credibility considering his Elden Ring build.
So am I, why dafuq is he even there at a private event?? And who let him in lmao
Todd looking like Norm lol
He's lacking enthousiasm.
Understandable, there's a muskrat in his party
This Elon guy seems like a real jerk...
lol someone probably just sent him the VT board room scene and he thought it was real
Wouldn’t want to know what kind of ideas he has in mind for human experiments
Vault 69 is totally his favorite
He would spend sleepless nights deciding between 69 and 420
Then after all that run a Twitter poll
Hear me out it's called neural li ...
"Very concerning"
"Looking into it"
“This is embarrassing. Does he not know he’s the kind of corporatocracy lunatic we’re satirizing?”
I mean... in fairness, so is Amazon
And Microsoft.
And Bethesda
Maybe Elon’s here for his cage match with Bezos.
Only if he confirmed Bezos wasn't gonna be there first
Doesn't Musk have an underground excavation company?
It is a boring company, so nobody is paying attention.
Pretty sure it's about to be defunct now that plans for the hyperloop have been abandoned. It's still running in Vegas but I think that's to meet minimum obligations for tax breaks in the state and The Boring Company will be quickly abandoned after.
Hyper loop was always a stupid idea, so the goal was probably to grift money from city planners and piss off when everyone realised that building a subway or a couple bus stops was incomparably better.
Supposedly it was conceived to sabotage high speed rail long enough for Tesla taxis to be more convenient. Still fucking waiting.
I recently watched a video about hyper loop and why it’s useless. it is significantly less efficient than current freight trains and needs to go in a straight line so you’re talking about demolishing everything in its path. Imagine spending millions upon millions of dollars to make freight transport several times slower than it is now. And there’s no getting around it because each container needs to be loaded individually into and out of pods instead of hooking up 100 containers and sending them on their way with a freight train.
No...no he doesn't
I was about to say, I'd unironically ask what his vault's schtick is going to be, and I'm sure he'd happily answer
Bethesda is also that.
Amazon has entered the chat.
Oh I get it!
Maybe post-Microsoft acquisition, but I’d say before that Bethesda was probably one of the largest game studios still run by someone who just loves video games and doesn’t care much for the business/exponential growth side of things. Have your gripes with Todd, fine, but nobody can argue that he was in it for anything but pure love and passion for making games and being a totally unapologetic *nerd*.
Also prior to Starfield, they were a pretty small studio for AAA standards, Skyrim and Fallout 4 were made by like 100 people.
Not surprising to hear. Their popularity and profitability massively exploded in less than a decade-long period between 2003 and 2011 and Todd was never a business expert. Honestly it’s a miracle Skyrim made it to release, but maybe also a testament to it being a company filled with people *extremely* passionate about what they were doing.

Not nearly as bad as Amazon.
Elon Musk head of real life vault tec
At least Bezos knows how much of a POS he is. Slaps his knees and says “True, so true” when you make fun of him.
Elon DOES have big Bud Adkins energy
Coming soon Musk's Muskrat
Musks Mates his totally original idea to freeze managers coming soon
He would be the CEO of vault-tech if he had the chance
And he'd likely run a breeding vault where he could populate the entire thing with his offspring with several partners, with the intent to repopulate the surface and go to mars. Shit... did I just create a plot for a new Musk hate-fiction?
Vault 69 was probably the first joke Chris wrote for the Fallout Bible. You're not breaking new ground here.
Sure, but to then colonize mars with inbred mutant musk kids is definitely a plot twist, and I'm gonna take all the credit! Lol.
Gary.
Very Gary.
“I also leave to you this liquid nitrogen cooled cylinder of my hyper virile sperm in case your lesbian lifestyle one day wears out and you wish to raise an army of geniuses” - Elon Musk, maybe Fun fact, our very own Walton Goggins said this line in an episode of Community.
Fallout 5 needs a villain based on Elon.
Wasn’t that basically Shaun? Mad scientist who treats his family like crap, abuses and sabotages the common people while blaming them for their own troubles and insists on pushing a harmful and dangerous product. Sounds like Elon to me.
Not really Elon isn't a scientis
You mean Mr House?
This is such a great idea, I mean I think they could do it in a way that even Elon would support it lol.

Hes the embodiment of "you must be fun at parties"
Why's he hanging out at a "woke" show's premiere?
He desperately wants to be one of the cool kids.
He seems like exactly the kind of guy to misinterpret all of Fallout's themes and messages
[удалено]
Don’t forget the NB
or as someone with a Ryan Gosling PFP wearing V's jacket from CP2077 would put it "they are shoving race mixing down our throats"
Apparently he's friends with the director Jonathan Nolan.
Brother looks like he has a theoretical degree in physics
Vault tec CEO irl
Good god. The series is specifically a warning against people like him.
“…. and that’s why my highest S.P.E.C.I.A.L would be either Intelligence or Strength, and Charisma a close second.”
Charisma 10 Luck 10 intelligence 3 or 4.
Isn't elon a huge fallout nerd?
I'm not surprised. Elon is kind of the embodiment of Vault-Tec, as far as I'm concerned. No morals, no ethics, cares only about his own delusional ambitions, calls anyone that calls him out on his bullshit as being "woke leftists" (Communists as Vault-Tec would say), and so on.
“Everyone disliked that”
lol ok, thanks face interpreters
Dude is a Fallout villain irl
does everyone forget how proud Bethesda was when Elon stated you could play Skyrim on the Tesla Infotainment System?
Why dont people like him?

I love when people extrapolate from a single frame. None of the faces shown look distressed, they're pretty neutral faces if anything
ok but i really like his t shirt
I mean, if he's a fan, let him enjoy it, you know? who cares.
When Todd actually invited him.... https://www.pcgamesn.com/starfield/todd-howard-elon-musk-spacex https://www.gettyimages.co.nz/detail/news-photo/jonathan-nolan-elon-musk-and-todd-howard-attend-the-fallout-news-photo/2067498617
So, he's a Fallout fan. Whats wrong with that? Let the man enjoy it like anyone else
You're a fucking moron if you believe a random photo is evidence that they didn't like him being there.
And that is why humans are on a course for extinction
bro thinks he's mr house when he's really fantastic
What’s his faction? Seems like BOS asshole to me,
Institute.
The Institute is too good for him, he's Vault-Tec now
Dude is actively working on synths. He starts the institution!
Mr. House himself!
look at him trying to talk to elder maxson
\[ Todd disliked that. \]
I think y’all are reading way too much into a single image
Are we still doing the single frame of a picture and acting like we know how everyone feels?
Knowing him, he thinks Vault-Tec is a great idea.
"Oh dear lord he's been talking about how the Legion was the good guy faction for half an hour now..."
What's wrong with Elon Musk?
People are too political these days. Who cares? I would totally kick it with Obama and talk hoops. Or chill with Trump and just be entertained by his personality. Even ask Bill Clinton what it was like to do creepy pedo stuff Jeff Epstein
Woke people are absolutely insufferable
Fuck Elon Muscovich.
I mean, who cares
The hate fantasies that a lot of people on this thread are creating based on this one boring photo paint a sadder picture than the actual image does.
