Yeah so somebody grew up in a racist household that prioritized Protestant ideals about work and success. And then that person moved to Silicon Valley with Daddy's money and worked there during its bommiest years. Then went on to pump money into electric cars and rockets.

This all came to a screeching halt during Covid when all of a sudden, he had to not prioritize profits and success but rather the health and safety of his employees and others.

This sent him down a rabbit hole on Twitter where suddenly he felt accepted by all the Trump crowd. Now he's stuck there and slides further right each day.

This guy is now the wealthiest person on the planet.

Fuck Elon.

He thinks saying, I am cisgendered, is hate speech.

He literally wrote other- isms ... Criticism, I guess. He is an idiot.

The fuck is he on ~~about~~?

Money. Too much of it. We should help him, take away most of that money. That'll cure him.

[-] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 26 points 11 months ago

I heard he has a love of ketamine

It seems he is trying to get rid of his money as fast as possible. I suggest he send me $2 billion to start so I can offload it asap. I would be his most valuable liability.

He gets high from huffing his own farts.

[-] 520@kbin.social 13 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Things he knows nothing the fuck about. As per usual.

I genuinely can't tell if the comic was added by somebody else to mock Musk's tweet, or if Musk is such a narcissistic prick with zero self awareness that he ""ironically" added this comic as part of his fellow-kids memelord act.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

[-] Octopus1348@lemy.lol 97 points 11 months ago

I checked, it was added to mock musk.

[-] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 38 points 11 months ago

There's a simple litmus test. Musk would never joke about himself in a self-deprecating way, in any capacity. He has such a fragile ego it would break if someone farted in his general direction.

Just another example that billionaires didn’t become billionaires by being smarter than everyone else.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 41 points 11 months ago

Unironically dividing the Proletariat against itself by stirring up racism among conservatives on a large social platform is the correct move for him to keep his dragon hoard, though I doubt it's intentional.

[-] shawwnzy@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

I'd give him more credit, it doesn't take a genius to encourage people to subscribe to a philosophy and or vote for a person that will benefit you.

He knows what he's doing

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 11 points 11 months ago

I dunno, I've seen his Elden Ring build, and he's somehow a fan of New Vegas despite NV beating him over the head, so I don't quite believe that.

Just when I think I couldn't hate him anymore, he omits the Oxford comma...

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 50 points 11 months ago

Did you just grammerism him?

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Don't make me quote the 2008 hit single Oxford Comma by Vampire Weekend

Freedom is slavery.

[-] pachrist@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

For real. Diversity could easily be considered antithetical to racism. Inclusion could be considered antithetical to sexism. But no, Chef Elon made pseudo-intellectual word salad.

But, "Worlds grossly richest man not big on equity" feels like an Onion article title.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Also, "woke" more or less means "enlightened," so "anti-woke" is pretty much "ignorance is strength."

[-] pachrist@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

I feel like wokeness in general requires empathy and understanding of the plight of others. Anti-woke means being unempathetic, and folks feel that is positive? I literally can't comprehend being for Team Sociopath, but millions of people will vote for Trump, so it's real.

When you remember he got his starting wealth from an apartheid emerald mine in South Africa, this behavior makes perfect sense.

[-] li10@lemmy.ml 44 points 11 months ago

I’m generally sick of hearing about Elon at all even if it’s criticizing him, but this was a good one.

The vanity is off the charts.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 43 points 11 months ago

When you make fun or point out the obvious flaws of the oppressor, it's not "-ism", it's freedom

Sadly, a professor I used to respect is following similar bullshit ideologies. Climate denialism, veiled racism, and bigotry. Once he moved out of California into a much more red area, he plummeted.

When I was younger I assumed I was surrounded by differing opinions. Now it feels more like I'm surrounded by idiots.

It's not racism when you, a single person, are hated. Its people telling the truth about you.

I'm reminded of Bender:

Bet a board member tried to explain to him what DEI is two minutes before he Xat this Xeet.

Muskrat’s diversity plan is “exploit Indians who rely on Xitter visa sponsorship”

[-] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 16 points 11 months ago

He's not racist, he'd use visas to hold employees of any race ransom.

[-] name_NULL111653@pawb.social 12 points 11 months ago

I propose an alternative nominative singular: Xit. He Xat this Xit on Xitter...

I am very confused. Is that a comic he had made about himself? I wouldn't be entirely surprised...

[-] open_world@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I wish this post was presented more clearly.

[-] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

Can't stop thinking about the guy that replies to every one of his posts, asking to have lunch with him and give him a job.

Dude's been doing that shit for years.
