That brings up an interesting if not ironic bit of birtherism: I get the feeling he'd be running for President himself if he was eligible.
I’ve seen enough Superman stories to recognize a Lex Luthor type when I see one. I could absolutely see him, or Bezos, running for President or Governor someday.
It's strange that my impulse is to defend Luthor here...
You insult Lex when you compare him to Elon
Just a reminder that bezos has 2 shows on prime where superman is the villain.
So it's all over when he executes Flash, then?
Maybe, but I'm not so sure it would be a long campaign. At his core, he is extremely lazy. Trump, for all of his faults, is not lazy. Elon would get very tired of going on the campaign trail because it means work. He couldn't just sit around and Tweet himself into the Oval Office.
That makes zero sense. Elon Musk is a workaholic. You know, the polar opposite of lazy. He's a POS but lazy he is not. Rather than campaigning, Trump plays golf. Dude's as lazy as lazy gets.
A workaholic? He sits around a tweets all day. What work does he do?
Anything to avoid spending time with his kids. But seriously, friends who used to work for him said they'd find him at 7am sleeping under conference room tables.
Used to. And also friends.
I've heard he's a brilliant engineer who really understands car design from people who used to work at Tesla too.
I buy that just as much.
Yeah, because he was high as a kite and tired from gaming.
Elon Musk says he is a workaholic
Just after Elden Ring came out, Musk tweeted out his build. Internet sleuths figured out he would have needed to play about 12 hours a day to have that build, and that it was kind of shit.
Not having a personality distinct from your work is not the same as being a workaholic.
I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted. Even people who don’t like him highlight his long work hours. “Workaholic” isn’t something to be proud of.
