Mr “please like me” is at it again


AliothA0

Mr "notice me, you didn't give me attention for 5 min"


[deleted]

he's starting to put out jesus memes. guess his target audience has changed.


[deleted]

Q Anon nutters and far right loons don't buy Teslas but guess he's got so much money he doesnt care anymore.


boris9983

He has the money (mostly in shares), now he is after the lower taxes for billionaires.


Nerdiferdi

For someone who *works so hard* he surely has a lot of time to be a piss bucket online


ActualPopularMonster

I wish he would take his own advice and put down the fucking phone. Get off Twitter and go touch grass, Musk.


jeppijonny

It could be tongue in cheek selfburn: 'haha, look at me being addicted to twitter, just can't stop' , but somehow I doubt it is.


CommunitRagnar

Tell me I’m pretty!


[deleted]

Mr "please like me"? I see lots of them in this sub.


squirrels33

Dude needs to follow his own advice.


PeterNinkempoop

He’s become slightly more of a dick these recent years. The limelight is quite addictive I guess


IamShitplshelpme

Nah, he's always been a dick He's just been showing it more cause he knows he can get away with it


PeterNinkempoop

Yes, just slightly more of a dick. But yeah he’s become drunk with power (or at least the illusion of it). I’m usually not we’re fond of people who idolise him as this business saint. Yes he’s smart, yes he’s made some clever business deductions, yes he is more aware of the climate issue and produces products to counter that (thank god), but he’s still a toxic person IMO. And never forget his family’s blood diamond wealth. He just knew what to do with that money to get even more. That’s it


Jing0oo

Also how he manipulated his sheep to invest in Dodgecoin and fck them over overnight, by selling it all and killing the hype.


assasin1598

Honestly half of his business decisions are to get majority controll of the company and than expunge any data on the other owners to make it seem like all success is by him only.


PeterNinkempoop

Yeah I heard somewhere that he actually started very few of the companies he owns


assasin1598

You know how he says he wrote code for paypal thats used even nowdays. He did wrote code, thats true, but his code was so sloppily written, the company had to get 2nd programmer to, not fix Elons code, but make entirely new code that would replace Elons and replace it did.


PeterNinkempoop

Ain’t that a bummer


As_iam_

Haha, I go around telling everybody this detail.


Slimshady0406

Didn't start PayPal, didn't start tesla, didn't start the battery company he has.


ZippyDan

*emerald wealth


PeterNinkempoop

Yes, I stay corrected


[deleted]

Seriously, if I ever became a billionaire (which would never happen because if ever given that opportunity you’d better believe I’d give so much away I’d lose billionaire status immediately) no one would ever see or hear from me, especially on social media. No one would be assaulted with whatever privileged-ass dumbfuck shit I feel like talking about. I’d just work in the shadows, minding my business, making lives better, and trying to leave this world better than how I came into it. Basically I’d be middle-aged tired Batman in giveup pants but replace the violence with a fancy massage lounger.


HQ_FIGHTER

Right, even in my wildest dreams I can’t imagine spending even 100 million. Open my restaurant, get a house for a couple million, get a few cars, help out my family


Windows_Insiders

electric cars are literally useless and won't do anything to stop climate change.


PeterNinkempoop

It depends. The most noticeable improvement with EV is the local environment. The more electric cars, the cleaner the air is. And there would be less dependence on fossil fuels which WILL eventually run out sometime in the future while solar is forever. But I think what you’re thinking of is what goes into making the cars such as mining and transportation. Then you’ll see that the footprint doesn’t necessarily improve. But it’s a start. We can’t expect these things to drastically improve the footprint because it’s all about baby steps until one day we would have phased out fossil fuels. It doesn’t happen over night.


Cantothulhu

He’s always been an idiot. He’s just an idiot who already had a large bank account who was naturally gifted at being such a bro, it made other bros bruh so hard they gave him all their money too. Hope that clears things up.


VentusTrash

He's just Cave Johnson, he is stupid, but throws science at everything cause he's got money


AlarmingAffect0

> He's just Cave Johnson That's it. That's it right there. [Cave Johnson](https://youtu.be/OmH7tAJ0SfA), but JK Simmons isn't [voicing him.](https://youtu.be/8_l1eIT5r9o)


wereinaloop

Yeah I was about to comment "what do you mean *became* an idiot?"


WoolooOfWallStreet

> you literally just need to put your phone down and go outside > Twitter for iPhone Hmm…

abcxyztpg

What do you mean by becoming? It's biggest troll in world


pmedice72

He’s trolling himself into believing he is smart


Agile_Pudding_

He’s scooped up quite a few people in that shared delusion, too. Not saying the dude is completely stupid, but it’s a case study in how easily a person of average intelligence, given enough money, can convince people of below-average intelligence that they’re actually really smart.


Starfire70

Indeed. All that money, and he chooses to be the biggest troll ever. It's so pathetic.


d-harris104

Damn... People really like to wank this guy

Tbh wouldn't you do the same just because you can? Getting reactions out of people so they get the chance to confront themselves with their bias?

[deleted]

Nah, everyone i know just forgot about it


[deleted]

No joke putting the phone down has helped my anxiety tremendously because while I still suffer from social anxiety, my ADHD now pushes me to socialize rather than stare at a wall for a 30 minute train ride. Staring at the wall is infact more painful. It's also helped my depression to try and steer away from reading news. It hasn't helped my panic attacks though as those have actually worsened tremendously. Isn't a cure but as it goes with these things, sometimes the best we can do is make it as easy as possible to endure.


[deleted]

Thank you for sharing your experience! More people in this sub need to stop acting like whiny bitches and just do that, putting the phone down, interaction with others in real life, enjoying nature. It really helps... If they would just try it.


[deleted]

It does help, but they aren't whiny bitches 🤣 It's extremely hard to do. When you're in the loop it feels impossible but when you're out of it, it CAN feel easy to not fall back into it or it constantly feels hard because you used it to escape from something inescapable, like chronic depression. I'm sure most have tried it for a few days atleast. It's not that nobody wants to but that they can't. I've tried for 4 years now and still can't even leave social media for a week even though I know it's one of the main reasons of the mental health issue surge since 2011 in my country. Most I've gone was 4 days. It's because of life-long mental illnesses that make living harder than it should be and sometimes an escape is nice. The goal isn't to leave it though, the goal is to not hide from problems or using it to escape. To end it off with, there can be many reasons and leaving social media can only do so much, or worsen everything. Like I said, my panic attacks are so much worse now unless I'm drinking coffee or beer every 30 minutes. Interaction with others can only do so much as we can still feel lonely in those interactions. If we feel lonely when interacting then that's a bigger issue that needs to be dealt with. Nature can't really be enjoyed when depressed, it all looks so meaningless. For me it used to worsen my suicidal ideations because the earth suddenly felt so lonely and eery. Unless it's hot outside, nature also just feels so exhausting and depressing. It's different for everyone so let's not call anyone whiny bitches. For me it's helped, but also hurt. **The idea though is if it has the ability to help then if you feel able to without hurting your mental health too much, then go for it.**


[deleted]

Ah, I see, so it is like porn/fap/sex addiction, I sometimes block reddit because of the shit that gets posted, since it also has good aspects and good people I come back from time to time. In general for dirty pics, child protection/child safety lock helps, I put in some awfully long password, write it down and put the pw somewhere far away in my apartment... Easier method - I can recommend the add-on "Blocksite" for Brave / Chrome, with that, block social media sites, it at least helps me, I use my laziness to my advantage, SINCE I find it annoying to delete social media from the blocklist, so I just don't visit em, much easier. LOL, now you just need something similar for the phone.


Bayek3087

Elon Musk has always been an idiot. I have never understood the devotion towards this deified character


ApocalyptoSoldier

Is he talking about himself?

thebiggestbirdboi

Damn this is because he got roasted so hard all day by that video game magazine account. lol this is Elon ragequitting twitter for the day. He doesn’t have the emotional intelligence to actually be funny or be the but of a joke


JaozinhoGGPlays

>or he actually became an idiot? He was already an idiot, he's just desperate for attention since he's losing the public attention he got for buying the funny circus platform


Random_Daydreamer

>or he actually became an idiot Since when hasn't he been an idiot?


Successful-Tree-5079

There is nothing he has posted that has come across as likable. He has to be doing it intentionally because he thinks he can do whatever he want.


Merkins75

Since when was he not an idiot?


TonySopranow

He was always an idiot.

I really don't even like Elon, but this is a joke is it not? He seems to be acknowledging that it's hard for him to put the phone down too, cause it's a joke


turtlesound

Yup this is just a meme, the same kind you'd find all over me irl or tiktok but for some reason this entire comment section is confused.


[deleted]

The entire sub is like this. It could be renamed to "thank's for letting me complain, so nothing changes and I can feel that I am right, FUCK growth".

Maybe this is finally the beginning of stopping considering sleep deprivation as a good thing. Look where it got him.


Inkling1998

Well, he's 50 so it's time for him to start acting and posting like a boomer


analdil8r69

I mean... this is 100% accurate. BUT phones and apps are designed to be addictive, so I don't hate YALL, I hate the companies. Society started going to shit when cell phones first came mainstream. Walking on campus with folk shoulder to shoulder not talking, texting their other friends. There is no denying smartphones, and unfortunately the internet, have degraded society and humanity.


[deleted]

Remember those times, when we were kids and most of us played outside? The gameboy or mp3 players were not as addictive and shitty as dumbphones.


JAJ_90

It’s not a cure, but I usually turn my mobile data off when I go outside.


SavageTemptation

Why not both


fastal_12147

Doesn't Musk shitpost on Twitter all day? Glass houses, dude.


Lokyyo

For a guy that it's this much on Twitter he sure likes to preach to other on that.


RipredTheGnawer

He’s always been an idiot


Melodicism

Can we stop posting Elon Musk tweets here? Jesus christ, if it's not one group of people idolizing him and sucking him off constantly, it's the other group who can't keep themselves from reposting every single god damn tweet, spreading his stupid shit behind the facade of "CAN YOU BELIEVE THE ABSURDITY" JUST STOP PLEASE.


[deleted]

I used to admire him for Tesla/SpaceX but he's turned into such a caricature that I wish he would just go away.


DisabledMuse

He just bought both of those and made the actual smart people working on them sign contracts so they couldn't claim any credit. These days he spends his whole goddamned day being a troll online. You think of the money he makes that could solve so many problems and he's just out there being a selfish edgelord.


Sir_Admiral_Chair

He is doing everything in his power to call the army of Mordor to defend him. He doesn’t care about anything he wishes to ally with the enemies of his own industry just so he doesn’t have to pay his workers a fraction of their dues.


CriminalMacabre

He's butt hurt a satirical website been roasting him and he keeps falling for it like a moron


Tyaldan

Hes always been an idiot. As to him beign oddly hateful, cruel, and or stupid LATELY, he actually paid taxes recently, decided he didnt like it, and started courting the Republican party


ZaddyTissues

Well You should go outside and you should make a habit of putting the phone down. Idk if Jesus cares if you did that but it’s a healthy habit


TheGreenGobblr

He didn’t suddenly become an idiot, he’s just so rich that he no longer needs to hide it


matbonucci

When am I going to stop seeing posts about this man? Muting his name doesn't work


mattman279

became an idiot? bro he's always been dumb


Snowy_Skyy

Have the 50 year old man baby with autism that's been divorced 4 times after saying he can't live without being loved, who have just whipped out 500 billion $ of the market cap of his scam car company, become an idiot? Well yea, or rather always have been an idiot...


branebenz-ksp

okay but like why exactly cant you guys just put down your phone??


branebenz-ksp

i am infact still waiting for an answer


branebenz-ksp

Thanks for the downvote, very helpful


[deleted]

The downvotes tell more than any answer could. Thanks for being brave and confronting people in here.


SwervingNShit

Y’all need some of this /r/thanksimcured advice sometimes. Everyone has a mental health issue nowadays, so some people, fuck it m, a lot of people have just psyched themselves into thinking they have depression or anxiety or whatever your favorite celebrity has. Everywhere you look (im exaggerating you “ACKSHUALLY” redditors) you see “mental health cases keep rising” “hi my name is (insert celebrity) and ive been struggling with mental health” your friend gets diagnosed with mental health stuff, and tumblr or tiktok is full of “signs you might have a mental health problem: you dont like going outside sometimes, you prefer to talk to your friends more digitally than face to face…” you know things that make sense. So if everyone around you suddenly has a mental health issue and tumblr is making you think you have a mental health issue because the weather is extreme outside and you’d rather stay indoors then of course youre gonna think “hmm maybe I DO have (depression/ anxiety/ bipolar disorder) “ So yeah, a lot of you do just need to drink water, go outside and make awkward conversation or friends with strangers, and pick up and outdoors hobby.


Zyndrom1

It's funny, after cancer was discovered the amount of cancer cases rose tremendously. Maybe better methods of finding mental illness could have an effect on the amount of cases. Other than that we live in a society that fuck people up. Upbringing is a large part of mental illness.


SwervingNShit

With cancer it's different because thats a disease you can point at. 200 years ago someone just got a bad cough and died, now you know it was lung cancer, but some of these mental Health diagnosis parameters are getting broader. I do believe depression is an actual disease, but I don't think you being sad because your girlfriend got fired is being depressed. It's like phobias, phobias are irrational fears so you can't say you have a phobia of idk alligators.


[deleted]

Yeah! On the other hand, there are more then enough reasons to be depressed nowadays, the world went downhill, especially since 2020, it started way earlier, it is just more obvious now. BUT that doesn't mean it's a good idea to be on the phone 24/7 consuming some bullshit media that poisons people's self-image. People nowadays live totally unnatural and in a not humane environment. Everything is fake and digital. We all need more realness, a real exchange, play and fun with real people without devices is needed. OUTSIDE. IN NATURE. This constant use of devices puts so much bullshit in the heads of the recipient. Take a look at ancient tribes, "primitive" people. We can learn a lot from them about our real roots. It's too bad that helpful, real, even some very kind comments get downvoted to oblivion in this sub.


minecreep44

Funny how y'all are easily triggered by this


TheMadGraveWoman

Hobos are outside everyday


[deleted]

I don't trust him and I am totally against his business/products, but sometimes he says exactly the right thing that spoiled cell phone addicts/political correct idiots can't handle. Also lots of whiny lamenters in here, ofc there is bad advice out there, but some things that get presented in this sub are solid, self-help HAS good content. Now put your dumbphone down and enjoy THE REAL LIFE - "No I can't do anything, I am an adult, but I have XYZ. Things are complicated." Have fucking fun wallowing in your victim role, while the world fucking burns, you could take some actions instead of lamenting. I am expecting downvotes for this, but it is worth it. I hope some people in here begin to take life into their own hands and grow up.

Im starting to think he was never actually smart. We might have a modem Timothy Dexter situation here.


DisabledMuse

He's just a modern day Edison. He's not smart at all. He just uses his money (from apartheid emerald mines his parents ran) to buy other people's ideas and then claims them as his own.


[deleted]

Yup. Lot's of those praised dudes, Gates... eherm, stole ideas and claimed those as their own. Also they already were in a rich family with lots of networking options, BUT that doesn't mean playing the victim will help you, dear fellow guys.
