He really is a stupid motherfucker

I just watched Glass Onion and when Benoit Blanc announced frustrated that Miles Bron, the billionaire in the movie, is not some cryptic genius but rather an overrated idiot, I strongly felt that he must've been inspired by Elon Musk.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

The creators have had to reiterate that Miles Bron was not inspired by Musk and the semblance was a "horrible accident" lol

[-] [email protected] 211 points 2 days ago

Ain't this guy pro Trump? I'm starting to think Elon might be some sort of idiot...

[-] [email protected] 36 points 1 day ago

Elon still thinks of himself as a disaffected youth because it was probably the only time in his life he ever had any friends. Surrounded by sycophants they just reinforce what ever elon thinks cause they don't give a shit about him only that their checks get signed.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

You think he really had friends?!?

He is the quintessential elitist who has never had real struggles, nor had any really meaningful life experiences.

And I'm not even sure if he qualifies as a useful idiot...

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago

Nope. Just the regular kind.

It saddens me a little when I see people that I like still using the bird corpse. Harry is empowering Elon by burning him.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago

At least he didn't buy the checkmark

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago

Yeah the only way to kill a troll is to... just stop talking to/about them. They feed off the negativity of others - Elon likes it when people increase the stock price of his company, and allow him to sell the userbase to advertising firms, so every single word of this just makes the Musk all that much stronger. Every. Single. Word.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

This only works if everybody follows that rule.

In real life, some of this shit gain critical mass, and afterward, ignoring it would give it even more platform by leaving it uncontested.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

First off, Elon isn't the guy who goes on Lemmy repeating clichés he's heard and accepted as fact without ever questioning.. is it even true? Or applicable? Sorry, but I think I'll go with Mark Twain and Voltaire on this one: the best way to deal with a narcissist is to let the air out of their ego and slam them with satire, exposing them for the idiots they actually are.

Elon isn't going to disappear just because you dare not speak his name. He's far too busy blowing up billions of dollars of taxpayer money while his mindless fanboys gargle musk and cheer.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

Everyone should be calling him Leon

[-] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

Hey that is my name, it doesnt have to be associated with the idiot Elon.

It's a double edged sword.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Are these guys referencing something specific or is this just general?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

Only the "you made the sandwich" meme I think

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

Right, gotcha. Ty

[-] [email protected] 42 points 2 days ago

To be fair he didn't want to

[-] [email protected] 66 points 2 days ago

Oh yeah. I forget sometimes that that was the most expensive shitpost of all time.

Trump didn't want to win in 2016. His whole candidacy was basically a shit post gone awry, and that was so expensive that it may still cost us democracy in the US.

TBF again, he probably could have sold it again and not lost himself and other investors so much money. He still has a hero complex, it is part of his stupidity.

[-] [email protected] 35 points 2 days ago

I mean, he couldhave sold it......but he bought it for 43 BILLION dollars.

Prior to the sale, twitter was losing money. It had never been profitable. And it was NEVER worth 43 BILLION dollars.

Sure, he could sell it for 30 million dollars, but what sense does that make?

The fact of it is, he'll likely never recover the costs he paid, because of the stupid high price he paid for a never profitable company.

The part that baffles me is......why haven't the userbase flooded outwards? If you're on twitter today, and you're not on bluesky/mastodon, you have nooooooooo right to complain that musk is supporting a facist agenda.

He is. I'm not denying that. I'm just saying twitter users have no right to complain about it, because they enable it.

He's act kinda resembles a guy who would have had a burnout, but keeps going with amphetamine. Not sleeping at nights, unable to concentrate, arbitrary snap decisions, slowly loosing sanity, illusions of grandeur, common ideological ground with Trump, etc. Decade of that and he'll be Trump.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago

Oh shit it hadn't occurred to me that the logical end state for Elon is running for president

[-] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago

Born outside the USA, so Elon can't run for president.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

I‘m so glad this is the case.

His goal is but another amendment away.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Not yet, but he's already eyeing a role in government. Wouldn't surprise me if he eventually manipulated Trump into creating a special class of immigrant citizens who receive naturalization because of "service to the nation" granted by the president or some such.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Wasn't he on some sort of advisory committee during Trump's first term? My memory is that they disbanded basically because it was a waste of time, for obvious reasons. Let me search...

Yes, he was.

I bet he really thinks "i am not one of those that want power, i have and always had power".

He sees himself on a much much higher level of existence, than we mere lemmings...

At least, that's my impression.
