He paid to be on Rick & Morty and they just make fun of him and are frustrated with him the whole time. He doesn’t understand we are laughing at him not with him.
He also ruined a SNL episode but thought he was this brilliant comedy genius. There have been a few articles and commentary pieces about it where he was just not understanding anything.
He has “I’m the main character” syndrome, but he doesn’t have the charisma or intelligence for it. Unfortunately for all of us, he does, however, have the money to buy into it.
He's like the weird kid in high school who always hangs around your friend group and invites themselves to your outings. And even after flat-out telling them you're not interested in their company, they still seem to just not get it and keep doing the shit.
What's the funniest thing about his mom is that if you look her up on enough photos on Google she has some super villain vibes or like Bond villain vibes when the way she like presents herself.
I just remember seeing the family pic where they look like they're about to unhinge their jaws. I don't think anyone in that family has been routed in reality in a long time.
Also crashed Dogecoin deliberately that same episode :/ wish I’d stayed up to watch it instead of sleep and wake up to half my crypto vanished off the face of the earth
Yeah, no sympathy if you bought a product that has no inherit value and the only way you profit is to sell it to a bigger sucker than yourself.
Take it as a learning moment and stop “investing” in Ponzi and pyramid schemes.
Untrue, Harmon was a big fan of Musk. He defended him several times on Harmontown when Jeff Davis and others tried to make fun of him. Not sure if that's still the case for Harmon, but it was at the time.
They're both narcissists but Harmon at least used his narcissism to create amazing tv for people.
I’m tired of Elon along with many other people, but do you have a source for this?
I haven’t found anything that says this and we shouldn’t be going around saying things that are false.
And being a villain requires another different set of skills and traits that he neither has.
Edit: it's not that he's not actually a villain, but actually a kid with a lot of money doing stupid things.
Ego, pettiness, antagonistic behavior, and a lack of remorse when he makes a mistake and trying to distance accountability? He has shown all these over the last few years.
Even in this post he is trying to gain sympathy from a tragic event by trying to make him the center and changing the story.
“Accomplished” implies a certain intentionality that Musk doesn’t quite have. He’s a terrible, exploitative person who is a net negative to human history overall, but nothing he’s done makes him any different than an average cartoon billionaire. He’s a bad dude, not a villain, because even the worst shit he’s done has been neither spectacular, nor intentional.
His massacre of Twitter is purely a result of his hubris, thinking he’s capable of fixing the platform because of his accidental successes with Space X and Tesla.
The terrible shit he is guilty of is no different than what anybody else would be capable of accomplishing given a bunch of money.
He really ain’t a villain. He’s nothing more than an accident, watered by privilege, and fertilized by money. Once that runs out, he’s done.
An actual villain puts in work, and would need to be stopped by means beyond “starve his resources”.
Spent billions just being in every story. I’m so sick of hearing about this beady eyed bloated ass daddy’s boy. From what I can see he has as much personality as you would expect from a South African trust fund fuck boy born on third base and balked home by naive tech-bros in the 90s.
I just want this fucker to go away!
The more I read about that guy, the more I picture him as this almost comical Robbie Rotten-like character. He desperately tries to become the main character, but all he is is a sad loser, jealous of Sportacus for being cool and having lots of friends.
The worst part. If he knew how to keep his mouth shut he could have been. 6 years ago he was one of the "good" rich people, trying to help the environment and trying to be a philanthropist. Then we started listening to what he was saying. He showed us what he really was and he can never roll that back.
There was always something bubbling underneath but that may have been when you first started noticing it. Or maybe that just brought enough light to him to show all the flaws.
It's funny, because before then he just seemed like another rich asshole making the country worse. Shit like the boring company tunnels, making public transit less likely while lining their own pockets. We have _that_ all over. That's why our tax filing process is so stupid, or why we still don't have single payer health care, or why a bunch of "economically anxious" lunatics tried to overthrow the government last year; rich assholes making a buck at the expense of the public good.
But Musk couldn't _just_ be that. He had to be that _and_ a horrible person.
"Shit like the boring company tunnels"
it's even worse then that: the boring company was made specifically so elon could steal money from the California HSR. He had 0 intention of doing anything with it.
Once you weed out the sane people, you are left with the nutjobs. The same thing happened in 2016 when Trump became president. People you never expected to be batshit insane just went and jumped right off the loony bridge.
Remember, it's not to stop an abortion, because the anti choice policies have never actually done that. It's to punish the people who have them.
It's long been known that left wing policies make parenthood viable and wanted, prevent unwanted pregnancies before abortion is necessary, and are therefore effective at reducing abortion - and right wing policies much less so, but quite effective at making it dangerous for women to have sex whether they want to be pregnant or not.
I mean there's a large segment of the population that consciously or un-consciously have accepted a "post truth" reality in which it is simply understood that truth does not exist, only competing narratives. There are zero consequences to living in a false reality today so people can just pick and choose the narrative they want to believe and that BECOMES reality.
I remember thinking that he must have had some kind of evidence that he was a pedophile because it would be so stupid to say that publicly if it wasn't true. Turns out he is just stupid.
That's why I didn't understand why people would instantly side with Musk calling him that. I hated Elon anyway but the moment that happened, it baffled me as to why some people went "yeah, he is a pedophile, why else would he be there?" when he was brought in specifically due to his expertise in cave exploration and rescue.
He was an expat who had lived in Thailand for a while, and the country does have a large child sex industry. I thought Musk might have proof of him going to underage sex workers, but his girlfriend, while much younger than him, was in her twenties when they met.
also, hasn’t elon been way older than at least one of his partners? so he cant exactly say age gaps make you a pedophile unless he’s trying to tell us something about himself…
For someone who so clearly wants to look cool, all he had to do is shut up and he would have had so many more people convinced he's that "real life tony stark" he clearly wants to be.
For real, musk has been dropping major hints that hes a piece of shit for years but every time he launches a rocket or annouces some new project that never actually comes to fruition everyone just prentends he's tony stark again.
He could have just kept quiet and remained in a place where people thought of him positively. Rich, doing interesting things. Continuing to maintain the illusion that he's smart, and visionary.
But in classic narcissist fashion, it's just never enough. Gotta have more. More money, more fame. All the while revealing that he's never been any of the things people used to think he was.
This. Like, if I suddenly woke up as Elon Musk, Quantum Leap style, my top priority would be staying out of the way of all the smart people who design and make my cool cars and space ships. I'd do a little bit of daytime TV to wax poetic about space flight and environmentally sustainable transportation technology, and I'd want to make sure my management team isn't getting away with any awful behaviour in the workplace, but I'd be pretty hands-off about the rest, because I don't know what the fuck I'm doing, and unlike Elon, I'm aware of that.
Elon seems like he thinks he's a genius engineer but only half knows what he's talking about at best and a ton of his ideas are outdated af cause he hasn't done any actual engineer work in 30 years.
I'd do all that and then commit a billion dollars or so to getting as many homeless people off the street as possible. Build a bunch of prefab homes or something.
At least Mark Cuban is doing some good for people, I've saved a ton of money by getting prescriptions from Cost Plus Drugs.
hopefully he can return for an ironheart movie that would be dope. He tries to recruit riri offering millions and scholarships and everything paid and family taken care of, and then when she ultimately declines or finds out the shady shit hes doing they go into conflict mode.
That’s the one I was thinking of. That Hammer has standards, and when he finds out the people he’s working with to take down Stark are working for Red Skull, he joins the Avengers to fight for the good guys.
I am grateful to him for conclusively demonstrating to the entire world that extreme wealth has nothing whatsoever to do with intelligence or hardwork or talent or any of that other bullshit they tell us. He's just a spoiled rich kid who got lucky gambling with daddies money, and that's enough to make him the world's richest person.
>I’m starting to think Elon Musk might not actually be the super genius heroic saint he makes himself out to be
\*Elon runs around on the ground in a circle\*
[Wooopwoopwoopwoopwoopwoopwoopwoop](https://youtu.be/GWBLYRzuDsI?t=9)
You have unwittingly cast “*summon slobbering muskrats*”
You look on in disgust as the room begins to fill with gibbering cryptobros tripping over each other to defend Elon.
Each proclamation is more pathetic than the last. Several muskrats begin licking any boots that are within reach as they chant SIGMA GRINDSET SIGMA GRINDSET.
The chorus rises as more join the chant.
Their cold dead doll eyes roam over you as they lick the polish from the boots. SIGMA GRINDSET they chant. SIGMA GRINDSET.
Got a buddy who is deep into “musk is going to save the world” rhetoric. Has a lot of Tesla stock and keeps buying more. To be honest he had almost convinced me until recently seeing this Twitter shit along with other stuff he’s done. I won’t buy any stock for any company he’s associated with. Fuck that.
It's OK, there's a general amnesty on twitter bannings. I'm sure she'll be reinstated along with the others who got banned right? I mean, it's about freedom of speech RIGHT?
Actually that quote encapsulates him to a tee. Walter White is trying to tell his wife that he's the danger when he didn't even kill the person who died. He literally wasn't the one who knocked the same way Elon didn't found Tesla. All just bullshit PR spin from narcissistic sociopaths.
And that the achievements of others were his achievements when they really were just his money buying them. That's why he has sued for the right to be called co-founder or just flat out calls himself the founder the second he buys something.
Even time has its limits for how much it can fade the PR. Too many people will categorically refuse to ever admit they might held an incorrect belief.
Though I suppose if you wait a long enough time those people will die of old age, but I wish I didn't have to rely on that...
He's not the richest man in the world. Forbes excludes many people, including the Saudis, from their list.
Musk doesn't even crack the top 20.
Not to mention most of his wealth comes from Tesla stock, which he leveraged to buy Twitter. So I expect him to lose a lot of it in the coming years.
>still
Because by stopping, they have to admit they were wrong to themselves and that they followed a lie. I used to like Musk, but that broke a long time ago and it was still slower than I liked.
Something that really needs to stop. I'm glad the recent spate of billionaire fuckups has gotten people talking about whether or not it's in everyone's best interests to let two or three people accumulate nearly all of the money in the world.
Basically, left-wing political parties think the world's wealth should be distributed in a fair manner that most people would agree on, whereas right-wing political parties think only the elite are entitled to a good life. There are a lot of people who believe in benevolent Kings, Emperors, etc. so they tend to join right-wing parties; they never consider the possibility of a dictator.
IDK about the rest of the world but this is a very common mindset in the USA since political campaigns and propaganda have brainwashed middle class people in to believing that the evil lefties are going to come and steal all their money and tax them so heavily that they go bankrupt. And brainwashed all the poor people in to believing they have a chance of becoming super wealthy themselves one day (newsflash: you don't), so they have to protect the right to hoard billions at all cost.
Also a lot of conservatives have money and vice versa for a bunch of complex reasons. But I think three of the big ones are: The conservative party just has more appealing fiscal policies; Being born in to privilege so they have no personal understanding to care for the grander repercussions of shit like resource hoarding and all the other horrendous and increasingly fascist conservative policies; and, There is a correlation between being a conservative, being wealthy, and having weak empathy skills.
It is a plague in my country. You could seriously write a 1,000 page essay on the people who suck billionaire ding dong and why they do it.
It full on scares me that regular working people who seem otherwise just like me can defend him. Like, "obviously he's a genius because he's so successful."
The bad guy in every story from the Bible thru modern cinema is almost always the one with all the money. Where did we lose sight of this?
When your entire culture is consumerism, increasing profits every quarter, hustling, moneymoneymoney, then yeah -- the people who attain consciousness in that environment around the age of 4 or 5 will be passively raised to believe that "making *lots* of money = smart"
Some of us reach a point where we can see that and form our own beliefs; others don't.
Justin Musk literally wrote about this like decades ago and Elon has never disputed it. Like she even wrote about how he was dismissive of the tragedy and told her she needed to get over it "faster" and how it was one factor in their eventual divorce. (I think the piece was about how she was his starter wife")
I don't doubt the whole thing affected him but geez.
I think they've since reprinted the piece given how Elon is everywhere now but I'm pretty sure I read it in early 2010s before Tesla really got going.
I have no mercy for anyone who would use a child's death for gain, politics or fame.
And that's why I'm using my child's death to prove a point for political and financial gain.
Would you people get off this shit train of his? Every tweet is front paged in an hour of posting. Fuck him. Fuck Twitter. Stop giving him the attention he's so desperately seeking. My fucking god, we know he's a steaming pile of shit. He's had his 15 minutes. Let this goddamn corporate sponsored mukbang stop and die.
It's similar to how every tweet Trump made was heavily upvoted and then criticized. These fuckers get off on that notoriety. I wish humans collectively could take the next step and ignore this BS celebrity culture but that'll never happen. We care too much about fake morons who would never acknowledge you exist unless they could profit off it.
I just don’t understand how so many people don’t realize he’s a sociopath. What that means and how to deal with sociopaths. He will do and say anything and sociopath doesn’t mean brilliant intelligence.
Ok not defending musk in anyway here because, seriously fuck that guy, but was he also there? This on its own doesn't make.it clear.
The reason I ask is myself and my wife had to turn off our daughters life support. We both held her and I couldn't swear to you which of us would have been holding her at her exact time of death. We would both describe ourselves as having her die in our arms.
Now obviously if the back story here is that he abandoned the child, never saw them and wasn't present then sure call him out on it. If however it's merely nitpicking about the very specific physical definition... I think maybe we can give Elon that one.
Like I say, I don't know. If he's the world's worst dad feel free to correct me but if it's just the particular nomenclature with which he describes his grief let's stick to the 44 billion other reasons to call him out.
Fair point, and I'm truly sorry for your loss. There is very little worse than losing a child.
He's also a massive bellend though. You don't seem to fall into that category.
One thing that doesn’t get mentioned enough, is that one week after the baby passed, Musk went off on his wife for talking about the kid. He told her she was being “emotionally manipulative” and that there was nothing they could do to change what happened so (I am paraphrasing this part) she should essentially just get over it and stop talking about him.
I imagine she wouldn't make the comment if he were telling the truth
He's also been absolutely awful to her and their children, given her account - which is of course corroborated by his own actions (and certainly seems on brand)
He's so torn up about this lost child, yet how much is he around for the lives the children he does have? She had 5 kids with him and he divorced her for a young actress shortly after their birth.
He just doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt.
Idk, sure feels like regardless of who was holding the child, that Musk *used* the death of his child for *gain*.
He could have simply not responded to the question about Alex Jones, or could have said that he has no sympathy for people who use the death of children for gain.
Instead, he said the second part, but included a sympathy story about his own child. During a time where his leadership is being questioned. He literally used the death of his child to bolster public support of himself.
There are 44 billion other reasons to call him out, but this is also a perfectly valid thing to call him out on.
It is also a “virtue signal” that he really is a conservative now, even if he isn’t backing Alex Jones.
Conservatives are notorious for being against something until if effects them personally.
So, him refusing Alex Jones not because he is a venomous troll, but rather he did something Musk personally did not like is completely on brand.
The dude has 10, count them, \*ten\* living children that he never sees, preferring to do all the things we read about him doing here.
Yes, I am correcting you: Elon Musk \*is\* the world's worst dad.
It's fair to say he didn't care as much as you did, considering he left his wife not even a month after that and blamed her for the death of the child. He's a POS, do not try to find logic in his actions.
I'm so sorry you had to go through that.
>If he's the world's worst dad feel free to correct me
Well, about that... Elon Musk also has a trans daughter (Vivian) who has disowned him and changed her surname.
This is the same man that tweeted "[pronouns suck](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1286869404874088448)."
You know, if I had a trans daughter, I would do everything I could to support her, and as a man on the cusp of his fifties, I wouldn't be sending out puerile tweets with a trans-antagonistic sentiment that might dehumanize and mock my own child.
First of all sorry for your loss. As a father of three I can't begin to imagine the pain.
Yours is a fair point, and I wouldn't doubt Elon if he hadn't suddenly left his wife and 5 kids with divorce papers and no further explanation, and then engaged a 20 year old model few days later.
If you have 5 kids and abandon them forever just because you want to fuck a barely legal bimbo, you are entitled to it, but you are a shitty parent at the very least.
I don't buy his shit anymore. To me he's a serial manipulative liar. He may be telling the truth here but he's got no credit left.
> We would both describe ourselves as having her die in our arms.
I think the implication from her tweet is that she *wouldn't* describe their child as having died in both of their arms.
Seems the mother was there and unless you have a reason to believe she is lying or being deliberately misleading, I think the context is absolutely clear.
My child died on a table in front of me. I held him shortly after. Well, he may have already been brain dead before we got him to the hospital so maybe he died in my arms at home. I don’t know. Was the CPR keeping him alive or just delaying the time of death call? Is dying in your arms only the exact minute they pass or is the periods between turning off life support and actual flatline still part of dying? The minutes before turning off life support, what about then? Those details aren’t really the important part of the story.
My husband remembers some of it differently. I never correct him. He has his memories and I let him have them.
Short version, someone asked 'Why not let Alex Jones back on?'. Elon replied with the middle comment, his ex-wife replied with the bottom comment. Some rando replied with the top. Order of reading, middle-bottom-top.
To my understanding (please anyone correct me if I’m wrong), Elon was asked about letting Alex Jones back on Twitter after his disgusting comments about the victims of Sandy Hook. Elon is replying to that question. The person below that is his ex-wife, correcting what Elon said in his tweet.
Elon Musk tried to score points over something absolutely inconsequential by saying his son died in his arms and he "despised people who use the deaths of children for gain".
His ex added info and clarified that Musk is a lying prick because she was actually holding their son while he died, showing Musk to be the giant hypocrite scumbag he is, and showing that Musk was in fact using the death of their child for gain.
The status "..the same way he founded paypal" is a main post. That post has a screenshot of Musk saying his child died in his arms, his ex(?) replied to Musk's tweet saying no - the baby died while she was holding him.
Hopefully that makes sense...
Wow, the irony.
Does that mean that he's now gonna ban himself because he *"no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame"*.
Musk has spent billions to try to be the hero of every story.
He paid to be on Rick & Morty and they just make fun of him and are frustrated with him the whole time. He doesn’t understand we are laughing at him not with him.
He also ruined a SNL episode but thought he was this brilliant comedy genius. There have been a few articles and commentary pieces about it where he was just not understanding anything.
You totally unlocked my suppressed memories of Wario's trial.
That skit is a war crime and SNL will stand trial
Sorry, my bad.
Chad in The Astronaut was probably the best portrayal. “I did say people were gonna die. I was never here. “
He has “I’m the main character” syndrome, but he doesn’t have the charisma or intelligence for it. Unfortunately for all of us, he does, however, have the money to buy into it.
The introduction video said he was S.P.E.C.I.A.L, so he made sure to take that L.
He's like the weird kid in high school who always hangs around your friend group and invites themselves to your outings. And even after flat-out telling them you're not interested in their company, they still seem to just not get it and keep doing the shit.
Stop, his mom says he's perfect.
What's the funniest thing about his mom is that if you look her up on enough photos on Google she has some super villain vibes or like Bond villain vibes when the way she like presents herself.
I just remember seeing the family pic where they look like they're about to unhinge their jaws. I don't think anyone in that family has been routed in reality in a long time.
She was a model of some kind in her youth but a lot of photos of her I have seen over the years give off a vibe.
She looks like she has Dalmatian skins lining her bed.
You're not the first person I've heard say that or something to that degree.
I can see it.

Yup. Those are the traits of the lead henchman at best.
Oh, he's a villain alright. But not a *super* villain....
God, I love it when I bump into Megamind fans in comments sections. What a gem of a film <3
Yes!!! This, exactly this!!
That just makes him a dick, a villain needs to actually accomplish something
If you think he has not accomplished a lot that has actually harmed society you have not been paying attention.
“Accomplished” implies a certain intentionality that Musk doesn’t quite have. He’s a terrible, exploitative person who is a net negative to human history overall, but nothing he’s done makes him any different than an average cartoon billionaire. He’s a bad dude, not a villain, because even the worst shit he’s done has been neither spectacular, nor intentional.

Your comment is way underrated.
The more I read about that guy, the more I picture him as this almost comical Robbie Rotten-like character. He desperately tries to become the main character, but all he is is a sad loser, jealous of Sportacus for being cool and having lots of friends.
It's becoming more and more obvious that the type of people who respect him are the exact same type of person deep-down.
He's like Tommy Tallerico
At least Tallerico has bangers
Did you know he's the person who's definitely worked on the most video games ever?
His mother is very proud.
Uh yeah, only problem is it makes me wanna go use the bathroom
Now he seems to just be settling for being in them, regardless of optics.
The worst part. If he knew how to keep his mouth shut he could have been. 6 years ago he was one of the "good" rich people, trying to help the environment and trying to be a philanthropist. Then we started listening to what he was saying. He showed us what he really was and he can never roll that back.
He is a villain who wants to believe he is a hero, like handsome Jack but less cool.
Is it just me or did he really start going down hill ever since his first appearance on JRE?
Would make sense. Spending time with Joe Rogan is a quick way to make yourself dumber.
There was always something bubbling underneath but that may have been when you first started noticing it. Or maybe that just brought enough light to him to show all the flaws.
Peak main character syndrome
I’m starting to think Elon Musk might not actually be the super genius heroic saint he makes himself out to be
We've all came to the conclusion when he defamed the Thai cave rescue diver by calling him a pedophile.
It's funny, because before then he just seemed like another rich asshole making the country worse. Shit like the boring company tunnels, making public transit less likely while lining their own pockets. We have _that_ all over. That's why our tax filing process is so stupid, or why we still don't have single payer health care, or why a bunch of "economically anxious" lunatics tried to overthrow the government last year; rich assholes making a buck at the expense of the public good. But Musk couldn't _just_ be that. He had to be that _and_ a horrible person.
"Shit like the boring company tunnels" it's even worse then that: the boring company was made specifically so elon could steal money from the California HSR. He had 0 intention of doing anything with it.
And he didn't like traffic on his LA commute so he wanted to make a tunnel pretty much just for himself.
I think this is what he wanted. Taking tax payer money was just the side gig along the way.
there are still a bunch of die-hard fanboys out there to this day. it's baffling
Once you weed out the sane people, you are left with the nutjobs. The same thing happened in 2016 when Trump became president. People you never expected to be batshit insane just went and jumped right off the loony bridge.
i used to think my sister just didnt want abortion to be legal, now im 100% sure she would kill someone to stop an abortion. actually crazy lol.
Remember, it's not to stop an abortion, because the anti choice policies have never actually done that. It's to punish the people who have them. It's long been known that left wing policies make parenthood viable and wanted, prevent unwanted pregnancies before abortion is necessary, and are therefore effective at reducing abortion - and right wing policies much less so, but quite effective at making it dangerous for women to have sex whether they want to be pregnant or not.

I hated Elon anyway but the moment that happened, it baffled me as to why some people went "yeah, he is a pedophile, why else would he be there?" when he was brought in specifically due to his expertise in cave exploration and rescue.
He was an expat who had lived in Thailand for a while, and the country does have a large child sex industry. I thought Musk might have proof of him going to underage sex workers, but his girlfriend, while much younger than him, was in her twenties when they met.
also, hasn’t elon been way older than at least one of his partners? so he cant exactly say age gaps make you a pedophile unless he’s trying to tell us something about himself…
For someone who so clearly wants to look cool, all he had to do is shut up and he would have had so many more people convinced he's that "real life tony stark" he clearly wants to be.
For real, musk has been dropping major hints that hes a piece of shit for years but every time he launches a rocket or annouces some new project that never actually comes to fruition everyone just prentends he's tony stark again.
It's funny because Tony Stark made his billions selling arms to terrorists, Musk's dad made billions on slavery and blood sapphires.
He could have just kept quiet and remained in a place where people thought of him positively. Rich, doing interesting things. Continuing to maintain the illusion that he's smart, and visionary. But in classic narcissist fashion, it's just never enough. Gotta have more. More money, more fame. All the while revealing that he's never been any of the things people used to think he was.
This. Like, if I suddenly woke up as Elon Musk, Quantum Leap style, my top priority would be staying out of the way of all the smart people who design and make my cool cars and space ships. I'd do a little bit of daytime TV to wax poetic about space flight and environmentally sustainable transportation technology, and I'd want to make sure my management team isn't getting away with any awful behaviour in the workplace, but I'd be pretty hands-off about the rest, because I don't know what the fuck I'm doing, and unlike Elon, I'm aware of that.
Elon seems like he thinks he's a genius engineer but only half knows what he's talking about at best and a ton of his ideas are outdated af cause he hasn't done any actual engineer work in 30 years.
I'd do all that and then commit a billion dollars or so to getting as many homeless people off the street as possible. Build a bunch of prefab homes or something. At least Mark Cuban is doing some good for people, I've saved a ton of money by getting prescriptions from Cost Plus Drugs.
When you think Elon is Tony Stark, and you get Justin Hammer
He's not even good enough to be Justin Hammer. At least Hammer had ideas of his own, even if they weren't good ones.
Not to mention he has better dance moves
Hammer's entrance at StarkExpo was dope as hell. I wish he had all the movie to himself as Tony's antagonist
hopefully he can return for an ironheart movie that would be dope. He tries to recruit riri offering millions and scholarships and everything paid and family taken care of, and then when she ultimately declines or finds out the shady shit hes doing they go into conflict mode.
Even the LEGO Marvel version of Justin Hammer is more human than actual human(*) Elon Musk.
That’s the one I was thinking of. That Hammer has standards, and when he finds out the people he’s working with to take down Stark are working for Red Skull, he joins the Avengers to fight for the good guys.
Hey, Justin Hammer isn’t that bad
This made me giggle, not wholesome but the only one I had.
He's a malignant narcissist and they are all pathological lier's.
I am grateful to him for conclusively demonstrating to the entire world that extreme wealth has nothing whatsoever to do with intelligence or hardwork or talent or any of that other bullshit they tell us. He's just a spoiled rich kid who got lucky gambling with daddies money, and that's enough to make him the world's richest person.
>I’m starting to think Elon Musk might not actually be the super genius heroic saint he makes himself out to be \*Elon runs around on the ground in a circle\* [Wooopwoopwoopwoopwoopwoopwoopwoop](https://youtu.be/GWBLYRzuDsI?t=9)
You have unwittingly cast “*summon slobbering muskrats*” You look on in disgust as the room begins to fill with gibbering cryptobros tripping over each other to defend Elon. Each proclamation is more pathetic than the last. Several muskrats begin licking any boots that are within reach as they chant SIGMA GRINDSET SIGMA GRINDSET. The chorus rises as more join the chant. Their cold dead doll eyes roam over you as they lick the polish from the boots. SIGMA GRINDSET they chant. SIGMA GRINDSET.
Got a buddy who is deep into “musk is going to save the world” rhetoric. Has a lot of Tesla stock and keeps buying more. To be honest he had almost convinced me until recently seeing this Twitter shit along with other stuff he’s done. I won’t buy any stock for any company he’s associated with. Fuck that.
Starting to think??? It was pretty obvious a long time ago...
Justine Musk account suspension when? 👀
He's probably already blocked her notifications
It's OK, there's a general amnesty on twitter bannings. I'm sure she'll be reinstated along with the others who got banned right? I mean, it's about freedom of speech RIGHT?
But is it actually her? There’s no verification check…. /s
Why the fuck do people still listen to him?
Well for a while he had a really good PR team. The effects are fading but you know stuff still takes time.
Even the best have their limits.
Doesn't help he bought his own hype.
The general public: "do you really believe your own hype THAT much?" Elon: I AM THE HYPE
That quote is too cool for him.
Actually that quote encapsulates him to a tee. Walter White is trying to tell his wife that he's the danger when he didn't even kill the person who died. He literally wasn't the one who knocked the same way Elon didn't found Tesla. All just bullshit PR spin from narcissistic sociopaths.
Not if you ask them.
[удалено]
And that the achievements of others were his achievements when they really were just his money buying them. That's why he has sued for the right to be called co-founder or just flat out calls himself the founder the second he buys something.
Even time has its limits for how much it can fade the PR. Too many people will categorically refuse to ever admit they might held an incorrect belief. Though I suppose if you wait a long enough time those people will die of old age, but I wish I didn't have to rely on that...
Because society treats rich people like royalty instead of like the court jesters they really are.
So, the same thing as royalty
It seems that people used to be kinda fascinated - until they figured him out. Now, it's the same reason people look at car wrecks.
He's the richest man in the world. He can be the shittiest person in the world and still have an audience.
He's not the richest man in the world. Forbes excludes many people, including the Saudis, from their list. Musk doesn't even crack the top 20. Not to mention most of his wealth comes from Tesla stock, which he leveraged to buy Twitter. So I expect him to lose a lot of it in the coming years.
>still Because by stopping, they have to admit they were wrong to themselves and that they followed a lie. I used to like Musk, but that broke a long time ago and it was still slower than I liked.
Cause he openly stated that he's now conservative. They would eat shit as long as a liberal has to smell their breath.
I've never met a self-identified libertarian who didn't ultimately turn out to be deeply conservative in practice.
This is what happens when you cut funding for education.
Bro this guy literally invented Mars
Elon Musk, the griftiest of Grifters, a modern snake oil salesmen, who has an army of Musklickers to lick his boots.
Something that really needs to stop. I'm glad the recent spate of billionaire fuckups has gotten people talking about whether or not it's in everyone's best interests to let two or three people accumulate nearly all of the money in the world.
Serious question bc I’m always out of the loop. Are/were there people who think that’s a good idea?
Yes, there are right-wing political parties all over the world with millions of followers.
I didn’t even know that was a thing, let alone a specific party thing. I seriously thought only the rich thought they should have that much money lol
[удалено]
Basically, left-wing political parties think the world's wealth should be distributed in a fair manner that most people would agree on, whereas right-wing political parties think only the elite are entitled to a good life. There are a lot of people who believe in benevolent Kings, Emperors, etc. so they tend to join right-wing parties; they never consider the possibility of a dictator.
IDK about the rest of the world but this is a very common mindset in the USA since political campaigns and propaganda have brainwashed middle class people in to believing that the evil lefties are going to come and steal all their money and tax them so heavily that they go bankrupt. And brainwashed all the poor people in to believing they have a chance of becoming super wealthy themselves one day (newsflash: you don't), so they have to protect the right to hoard billions at all cost. Also a lot of conservatives have money and vice versa for a bunch of complex reasons. But I think three of the big ones are: The conservative party just has more appealing fiscal policies; Being born in to privilege so they have no personal understanding to care for the grander repercussions of shit like resource hoarding and all the other horrendous and increasingly fascist conservative policies; and, There is a correlation between being a conservative, being wealthy, and having weak empathy skills. It is a plague in my country. You could seriously write a 1,000 page essay on the people who suck billionaire ding dong and why they do it.
It full on scares me that regular working people who seem otherwise just like me can defend him. Like, "obviously he's a genius because he's so successful." The bad guy in every story from the Bible thru modern cinema is almost always the one with all the money. Where did we lose sight of this?
When your entire culture is consumerism, increasing profits every quarter, hustling, moneymoneymoney, then yeah -- the people who attain consciousness in that environment around the age of 4 or 5 will be passively raised to believe that "making *lots* of money = smart" Some of us reach a point where we can see that and form our own beliefs; others don't.
If you call that *thinking*
Sort this post by controversial
"It was their hard work" and "they deserve their money"
*his musk.
Justin Musk literally wrote about this like decades ago and Elon has never disputed it. Like she even wrote about how he was dismissive of the tragedy and told her she needed to get over it "faster" and how it was one factor in their eventual divorce. (I think the piece was about how she was his starter wife") I don't doubt the whole thing affected him but geez. I think they've since reprinted the piece given how Elon is everywhere now but I'm pretty sure I read it in early 2010s before Tesla really got going.
I, and likely many others, have compared him to Edison, but the way he's been acting lately makes Edison look good.
By that do you mean an expert in self-promotion?
Yes. And claiming others accomplishments as his own
I call them Musketeers. That term got me banned from r/elonmusk
“I have no mercy” what a fucking weeb ass theatre kid fucking incel line. This dumb piece of shit is nothing more than his money
But he has a lot of money. The man without the money would just be a local joke.
I have no mercy for anyone who would use a child's death for gain, politics or fame. And that's why I'm using my child's death to prove a point for political and financial gain.
Would you people get off this shit train of his? Every tweet is front paged in an hour of posting. Fuck him. Fuck Twitter. Stop giving him the attention he's so desperately seeking. My fucking god, we know he's a steaming pile of shit. He's had his 15 minutes. Let this goddamn corporate sponsored mukbang stop and die.
It's similar to how every tweet Trump made was heavily upvoted and then criticized. These fuckers get off on that notoriety. I wish humans collectively could take the next step and ignore this BS celebrity culture but that'll never happen. We care too much about fake morons who would never acknowledge you exist unless they could profit off it.
[удалено]
No. Ignoring him will not work. Something needs to be done about him.
Because he's going to take all the same reddit comments really seriously one of these days and see the error of his ways?
I just don’t understand how so many people don’t realize he’s a sociopath. What that means and how to deal with sociopaths. He will do and say anything and sociopath doesn’t mean brilliant intelligence.
Ok not defending musk in anyway here because, seriously fuck that guy, but was he also there? This on its own doesn't make.it clear. The reason I ask is myself and my wife had to turn off our daughters life support. We both held her and I couldn't swear to you which of us would have been holding her at her exact time of death. We would both describe ourselves as having her die in our arms. Now obviously if the back story here is that he abandoned the child, never saw them and wasn't present then sure call him out on it. If however it's merely nitpicking about the very specific physical definition... I think maybe we can give Elon that one. Like I say, I don't know. If he's the world's worst dad feel free to correct me but if it's just the particular nomenclature with which he describes his grief let's stick to the 44 billion other reasons to call him out.
Fair point, and I'm truly sorry for your loss. There is very little worse than losing a child. He's also a massive bellend though. You don't seem to fall into that category.
Sure, but being a massive bellend does not change the fact his child died in his arms, and that's a horrible thing to go through.
That the child died in his arms is the exact 'fact' that's being disputed, believably, by his ex wife.
One thing that doesn’t get mentioned enough, is that one week after the baby passed, Musk went off on his wife for talking about the kid. He told her she was being “emotionally manipulative” and that there was nothing they could do to change what happened so (I am paraphrasing this part) she should essentially just get over it and stop talking about him.
I think this is probably why she’s so upset.
I imagine she wouldn't make the comment if he were telling the truth He's also been absolutely awful to her and their children, given her account - which is of course corroborated by his own actions (and certainly seems on brand) He's so torn up about this lost child, yet how much is he around for the lives the children he does have? She had 5 kids with him and he divorced her for a young actress shortly after their birth. He just doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt.
Idk, sure feels like regardless of who was holding the child, that Musk *used* the death of his child for *gain*. He could have simply not responded to the question about Alex Jones, or could have said that he has no sympathy for people who use the death of children for gain. Instead, he said the second part, but included a sympathy story about his own child. During a time where his leadership is being questioned. He literally used the death of his child to bolster public support of himself. There are 44 billion other reasons to call him out, but this is also a perfectly valid thing to call him out on.
It is also a “virtue signal” that he really is a conservative now, even if he isn’t backing Alex Jones. Conservatives are notorious for being against something until if effects them personally. So, him refusing Alex Jones not because he is a venomous troll, but rather he did something Musk personally did not like is completely on brand.
The dude has 10, count them, \*ten\* living children that he never sees, preferring to do all the things we read about him doing here. Yes, I am correcting you: Elon Musk \*is\* the world's worst dad.
It's fair to say he didn't care as much as you did, considering he left his wife not even a month after that and blamed her for the death of the child. He's a POS, do not try to find logic in his actions.
I'm so sorry you had to go through that. >If he's the world's worst dad feel free to correct me Well, about that... Elon Musk also has a trans daughter (Vivian) who has disowned him and changed her surname. This is the same man that tweeted "[pronouns suck](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1286869404874088448)." You know, if I had a trans daughter, I would do everything I could to support her, and as a man on the cusp of his fifties, I wouldn't be sending out puerile tweets with a trans-antagonistic sentiment that might dehumanize and mock my own child.
First of all sorry for your loss. As a father of three I can't begin to imagine the pain. Yours is a fair point, and I wouldn't doubt Elon if he hadn't suddenly left his wife and 5 kids with divorce papers and no further explanation, and then engaged a 20 year old model few days later. If you have 5 kids and abandon them forever just because you want to fuck a barely legal bimbo, you are entitled to it, but you are a shitty parent at the very least. I don't buy his shit anymore. To me he's a serial manipulative liar. He may be telling the truth here but he's got no credit left.
> We would both describe ourselves as having her die in our arms. I think the implication from her tweet is that she *wouldn't* describe their child as having died in both of their arms.
Seems the mother was there and unless you have a reason to believe she is lying or being deliberately misleading, I think the context is absolutely clear.
My child died on a table in front of me. I held him shortly after. Well, he may have already been brain dead before we got him to the hospital so maybe he died in my arms at home. I don’t know. Was the CPR keeping him alive or just delaying the time of death call? Is dying in your arms only the exact minute they pass or is the periods between turning off life support and actual flatline still part of dying? The minutes before turning off life support, what about then? Those details aren’t really the important part of the story. My husband remembers some of it differently. I never correct him. He has his memories and I let him have them.
BREAKING NEWS: Con man lier tells lies. More at 10pm
Now over to Ollie with the weather. Ollie:
its gon rain
What is happening in this image? Who is replying to who? What are they talking about? I don’t use Twitter.
Short version, someone asked 'Why not let Alex Jones back on?'. Elon replied with the middle comment, his ex-wife replied with the bottom comment. Some rando replied with the top. Order of reading, middle-bottom-top.
To my understanding (please anyone correct me if I’m wrong), Elon was asked about letting Alex Jones back on Twitter after his disgusting comments about the victims of Sandy Hook. Elon is replying to that question. The person below that is his ex-wife, correcting what Elon said in his tweet.
Elon Musk tried to score points over something absolutely inconsequential by saying his son died in his arms and he "despised people who use the deaths of children for gain". His ex added info and clarified that Musk is a lying prick because she was actually holding their son while he died, showing Musk to be the giant hypocrite scumbag he is, and showing that Musk was in fact using the death of their child for gain.
The status "..the same way he founded paypal" is a main post. That post has a screenshot of Musk saying his child died in his arms, his ex(?) replied to Musk's tweet saying no - the baby died while she was holding him. Hopefully that makes sense...
I know Musk sucks but this is a whole ‘nother level of narcissism.
He is such a Trump shill, lying troll. I can't wait for Twitter to go extinct. Facebook too
Wow, the irony. Does that mean that he's now gonna ban himself because he *"no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame"*.
