It's the system. Only capitalism can make someone like the richest man in the world. I don't believe a true meritocracy can exist, but I believe we live in the opposite of one.

He has constantly made false promises for the last 15 years and yet people (with money) still trust him

At one point he was just the typical tech oligarch failson who was sort of just quietly awful behind the scenes while collecting accolades for other people's work and getting fluffed up by credulous tech "journalists". He managed to grift some successful contracts using that publicity and his PR team leveraged it into more and more bullshit hype for businesses he owned and he just failed upwards over and over.

Even after he had a midlife crisis and started just doing lots of drugs and showing his whole ass on twitter all day every day he still had all that inertia and machinery of hype and graft behind him to feed him more and more wealth and power despite anything he actually did. He had to actively piss off enough people that that system started clogging and breaking down to even suffer the most mild of consequences. Hopefully it keeps going and everything he had and has falls apart so he can't just go back to a quietly parasitic existence like most other tech oligarchs.

Still loling at the fact that libs ever liked this guy.

Proof that we're in a farce

The richest human on Earth currently is the one devoid of ANY positive traits

Distilled loser through and through

Asmongold knows how to play Path of Exile.

great post but lol no he doesn't. <3

And then, somehow this unbelievable loser is a sex pest who pressures women to have his kids but doesn't even get laid in the process.

isn't that because his penile implant fucking exploded and destroyed his penis?

GOOD post comrade

It's amazing how successful the grift has been. Robotaxis? Sure, it's Elon. Autonomous humanoid robots? Elon's a visionary, he'll get 'em done. Massive amounts of money get flung his way on the flimsiest of claims. Apparently believing that capitalism is an efficient system for allocating productive resources to meeting the public's needs primes you for many other chimeras.

If he hadn't been born into a rich family no one would have heard about him outside of whatever town he lived in.

Amazing post. Don’t forget how he clings to stale memes that haven’t been funny (if they ever were) for over a decade. You don’t see Trump posting Pepe like it’s 2016 anymore yet Musk is convinced doge is the height of humor and the letter x is still as epic as it was when he was 10 years old

The wealthy and powerful do not achieve that status through any special trait that makes them superior. They are just as boring and fucked up as everyone else but they have to seem better or the illusion of meritocracy falls apart and people start to wonder why these people have been elevated above them. So they shaped society so that being aggressively mediocre or even downright incompetent is no hindrance to maintaining your family’s dynastic hold in wealth and power.

As a side effect the various compensatory mechanisms they constructed to paper over their numerous flaws all worked together to elevate the worlds worst piece of barely sentient shit to the peak of wealth and power.

He is gonna ramp up labor abuses for a negative net revenue.

Depends. Just being out of the spotlight will probably help to rehabilitate his image enough that sales go up.

Allocate yourself in front of a freight train

He always tries to use big words to sound smart but in the dumbest ways. It still works on his fanboys though

They aren't dodging karma though, they may be dodging personal karma, but their projects will never actually succeed in the way they want them to or claim them to, and ultimately they are running the American project they claim to love straight into the ground. Their legacies will ultimately be ash in their mouths.

Becoming such a powerful person in this system requires one to be a petty manchild

or a pier

elongated muskrat has a botched penile implant that exploded his willy

He said the autonomous taxis will be ready by June.

He was supposed to have landed at least manned missions to mars by now

Not till he offs himself
