There is something satisfying knowing that the richest man on the planet is such a stereotypical fucking loser and he knows it somewhere deeply within himself. The richest guy around wastes his time by getting into pointless online arguments like the rest of us peasants. Except he also does it the most, his sleep is fucked up because he argues with people online so much. That heatmap of his twitter activity is crazy.

If I was a billionaire I wouldn't even have a phone. I'd consider getting a jester to explain online discourse to me once in a while, but mainly I'd just be outside diving or skiing or whatever - I'm a billionaire so I am a piece of shit, which is why I'm not doing cool stuff like smuggling money to people in need.

aspects of reality stop us from losing ourselves too deep in the rage algo. you can't really stay up all night rage tweeting if you have to go to work. so the urge gets the better of all of us but most of us are saved from the worst of it.

musk has no such material obligation to maintain his body so he can stay up all night rage tweeting, and there's a delicious, palpable irony that he himself is partially responsible for the incessant urge to engage that he feels

Incredibly poetic, honestly. There's a premise for a great horror story
