I did not see this published outside of India. But not sure why. It’s all based on Xitter.

He apparently gets really pressed from the online hate he recieves, so we can help push him further.

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 76 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

He's doing it too himself, fuck off.

No one asked him to be a co-nazi. No one asked him to take over Twitter. No one asked him to play make-believe auto maker. No one is asking for his fucking biography. He's acting like everyone is pulling him in all these different directions, and no one wants him.

He is the world's richest fucking man. Fuck him. He could have the best doctors/therapy/drugs in the world, could travel the world and "find himself," maybe even do something worth writing about. But he chooses to be a completely waste of human flesh that will be nothing but a smear in history. That's his legacy. A shit smear on an already shit covered era. He's not helping anyone, not even his own kids, he is willfully putting his effort into being the biggest piece of shit.

Fuck him. Fuck his depression, fuck his addiction, fuck his stress, and fuck him. He's ruining my country and wants pity because it's stressing him out.

FUCK HIM

People show you who they really are when they can do anything they want. Elon is failing at it much worse than someone who sits on the couch and does weed all day.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 points 15 minutes ago

Their vices all run the same direction: They do the things that are forbidden to we poors. They get off on the power of getting away with the taboo and illegal. The only time they're held to account is if they fuck over one of their own. Epstein wasn't brought down because he was a pedo, he was taken down because he was blackmailing the rich. Madoff stole from the rich.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 16 points 2 hours ago

Yeah. He could fuck off and never have to speak to another person or do anything he didn't want to do if he wanted with just a tiny fraction of his wealth. He doesn't have to be this way. He chose it. He's like a child breaking things for attention.

So sad. :(

Clearly for Musks own sake the best solution is to launch him into the sun.

PERMANENTLY

I'm an accelerationist, when it comes to this situation. Let's get the super-villain phase over with and move on to final scene.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 2 points 41 minutes ago

The overwhelming majority of billionaires keep quiet and keep to themselves, doing everything they can to stay out of the limelight. Elon is someone who simply cannot shut up and will not stop attracting negative attention to himself.

[–] Lettuceeatlettuce@lemmy.ml 1 points 24 minutes ago

Just another drug-addicted Hitler.

[–] Apocalypteroid@lemmy.world 29 points 2 hours ago (4 children)

I expect the problem is that, when you get that rich, people stop caring about you, they start caring about your money. A string of women who just smash a kid out for him then fuck off. Kids who don't seem to want anything to do with him. Does he have anyone he actually considers a true friend? Probably not. He's just surrounded by bootlickers and yes men, and deep down he knows it. He's probably deeply lonely and paranoid.

Not that I care. He's also a cunt.

"There's no cure for being a cunt." -Ser Bronn of the Blackwater

[–] Sizbang@lemmy.world 1 points 24 minutes ago

Yeah, but in order to get to such a position, you can't be a normal person with normal boundaries and interpersonal relationships. He was just born Elon and he will die Elon.

[–] Viskio_Neta_Kafo@lemm.ee 13 points 2 hours ago

If he wasn't a cunt then maybe I'd care but he makes it so easy to enjoy his own suffering.

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

I said this long ago on Lemmy. I pity him. He has nothing of value.

If shit hit the fan I have many around me who love me and want me to succeed. I have 3 kids who rely on me and love me deeply. I have coworkers who love me. I have family who love me. I also love all these people back immensely.

What he has is stuff. Stuff leaves you cold and empty inside. He has no one who loves him. He's probably a cold, cruel and heartless person when he's alone and I bet he's alone a lot. No one loves him for who he is.

Seriously he's the richest man in the world and he's so small. He deserves our pity nothing more.

[–] MojoMcJojo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I agree, except for the pity. I could no more pity him than I could a bloated parasite or leach feeding on my own children.

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 minutes ago

Yeah I get it. To many people they are past the pity phase. I struggled myself putting that. He is a broken man tearing the world down because deep down he is hurt. Hurt people hurt people.

[–] hovercat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 hour ago

Stuff leaves you cold and empty inside. He has no one who loves him.

This is very apparent when you look at his falling out with his daughter. She basically pointed all this out, and that he couldn't just make up for being a shitty dad for years and years by one time "Look, I sold all my stuff!" type gestures.

But "stuff" is literally all he knows, and so when he was called out on it, it seems to have absolutely broken him and now he's on this massive anti-trans crusade as a way of getting back at her.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 14 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe if we can stress him out enough he'll have a heart attack

[–] valpi@lemmy.myserv.one 4 points 1 hour ago

Or a ketamine OD

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 24 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

imagine ruining people's lives so you can have all the money, only for you to still be miserable. dont get me wrong im happy he is.

[–] Guns0rWeD13@lemmy.world 1 points 7 minutes ago

the parable of 'money can't buy you happiness' plays out over and over in capitalist societies, yet no one ever learns their lesson from it.

psychedelic drugs taught me so many important lessons so long ago. i don't know how these people (who claim to take the same drugs) never seem to 'get it'.

[–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 21 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Don’t forget this guy bragged a few years back about not sleeping or sleeping in his office. Let’s not discount how years of sleep deprivation has probably influenced his chaotic behavior.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 15 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I don't buy that shit for a second. He can't tell the truth if he wanted to. Back when he made these claims, overwatch just launched and he spend all day on twitter telling people he works 20 hours a day, plays a lot of overwatch, binges 6 different animes, and spends a lot of time with his family.

[–] hovercat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 hour ago

spends a lot of time with his family.

Well, the rest of them are probably true, but we know this definitely isn't the case.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It's prolly the drugs keeping him awake

[–] Viskio_Neta_Kafo@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago

Even on LSD you have to eventually stop playing Overwatch.

[–] merdaverse@lemmy.world 12 points 3 hours ago

I know the perfect cure: a vacation to Mars on a Starship. It would remove any depression and drug addiction.

"Elon Didn't Kill Himself"

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 4 points 3 hours ago

Oh please, I'd like to be part of that investigation. Not that I care who would've done it, only that is happened.

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 4 points 3 hours ago

Can’t happen fast enough.

He's a ketamine abuser, so it checks out.

Short-term side effects of ketamine use may include headache, dizziness, sleepiness, feeling strange or “loopy,” difficulty speaking, numbness, blurred vision, or nausea. Ketamine may also cause changes in blood pressure and heart rate.11

Studies show that unsupervised ketamine use may have serious health risks.1 These include respiratory depression, which is dangerously slow and shallow breathing. A NIDA-funded study found that problems related to ketamine use reported to poison control centers increased 81% from 2019-2021. The use of other drugs along with ketamine, especially opioids or GHB, another club drug, led to the most health problems, some of them life-threatening.12

Long-term, heavy ketamine use is associated with memory problems, depression, and anxiety.13 At high doses, ketamine may cause psychosis, a mental illness that causes a person to lose touch with reality. Frequent recreational ketamine use can lead to delusions that can last to up to one month after a person stops using it.14

Long-term use of ketamine may cause gastrointestinal problems, including abdominal pain sometimes called k-cramps5. Ketamine use can also cause ketamine-induced uropathy, a treatable but potentially serious condition that causes symptoms like those of a urinary tract infection.15,16

Man someone should introduce him to whippets

Depressed you say? Go on Elon, follow your leader.
