Genuine retard, it always was genuine retard

I wonder if Kimball, Leon's brother, is involved and quietly working behind the scenes.

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

does he somehow hate success too?

Please flag slurs with NSFW and don't put them in your title.

Reminds me of that show Billions where the dude seemed on the verge of losing it all, but it was actually a ploy to short some stock or some shit like that. Was a great show with a complete asshole of a protagonist.

Elon is autistic not retarded. Check your ableism.

[–] seejur@lemmy.world 13 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

The main issue is that he is a drug addict. It completely fucked his brain.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 22 minutes ago

The main issue is that he's a fucking nazi.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 19 points 19 hours ago

Genuinely a retard and yes that is the correct word and stop trying to police it.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Don't forget completely mismanaging Twitter, and turning it into even more of a cesspool.

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

that may have been entirely or mostly intentional, because it's now 100% a right-wing propaganda machine and it got Trump elected

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 hours ago

Don't forget the lying. He always always lies to sell his shit, always has for decades now, and it works, people always lapped yo every dumb bullshit that came out of his mouth

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wonder if the trump cult also now hates him after saying he was the goat for the last 6 months.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

What's worse, democrats are already forming a line to kiss his nazi ass.

[–] skepticalifornia@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Who is? I know this is the narrative on Fox News, but I've yet to see any major Dems doing this.

centrist democrats oppose progressives and kiss nazi elon's ass.

Your "durr everyone to my left is all the way to my right" shit makes me wonder where you are in the queue.

*Rep Ro Khanna is trying to kiss his Nazi ass

The only other Dem mentioned in the article that you can try pinning that statement on simply said that he's "a believer in redemption", but that's it really.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 31 minutes ago

Do you believe in the redemption of elon musk?

Because I'm seeing the party that spent a whole assed year ignoring the Leahy law in order to sell weapons for genocide looking at a nazi and being like "you know, he's not that bad."

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

centrist Democrat. singular. one.

"tHe DeMoCrAtS LoVe ElOn" is a bullshit propaganda talking point. this is how propaganda works, and yall be falling for it.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 36 minutes ago

I counted two in the article.

In addition to a few downplaying it in this thread.

[–] skepticalifornia@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

No one in your linked article is a leader in the party - just a lot of conjecture there to make the Dems the bad guys and reinforce the "both parties are the same" narrative that your ilk like to spread.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 25 minutes ago

No one in your linked article is a leader in the party

I didn't say they were. They seem to be choosing a leader who is in line with centrist values. Which is to say, he has money and is a reprehensible piece of shit.

  • just a lot of conjecture there to make the Dems the bad guys

Conjecture doesn't typically involve direct quotes from sitting legislators.

and reinforce the "both parties are the same" narrative that your ilk like to spread.

You are fine with your party kissing nazi ass. Just not anyone pointing it out. I'd tell you to demand better, but it's clear that you think you're getting it already.

None of them are geniuses, it's just really hard to lose at capitalism when you have capital.

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 56 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Its a human blind spot. A lot of people confuse wealth for intelligence. In lower socio-economic levels, succeeding involves a lot of intelligence. Its a fucking struggle. Lots of fish trying to eat each other and take what little resources we have. One fuck up and it's all over. So anyone that is succeeding is also someone that with enough intelligence to foresee pitfalls and avoid them or escape with their wealth.

Those values are used to evaluate the people at the top which are swimming in a whole different pond. The neopotism and safety nets built into the upper crust of society is not part of the calculation that a lot of people use to factor into how they see these people. They still apply the same dog eat dog mentality to the upper crust of society.

He already has fuck you money so he doesn't give any fucks.

[–] Contemporarium@lemm.ee 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Are you serious? He wants people to think he’s cool SO bad it’s genuinely so pathetic lol. All the other billionaires you could say that. But Elon is so desperate for people to think he’s this funny cool based guy it’s hilarious

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 7 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

That is partly true, but also he's a strong narcissist. They make up their own stories. They'll play up the feud to take eyes off of other bad shit.

Don't think for a second he lost or he's gone or it's all over for him. He doesn't see it that way.

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 1 points 13 hours ago

I swear I have seen a comment very similar to this, not word for word, but pretty much similar structure and words and points describing Kanye.

[–] Wook@sh.itjust.works 2 points 18 hours ago

He already got access to all the data he paid for.

[–] stormeuh@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (6 children)

For now, he does have that yes, but his wealth is for a significant portion a house of cards built on the value of tesla stock. If the value of that stock falls far enough, lenders who gave him loans with tesla stock as collateral could margin call him, essentially asking for more collateral. That could make him the poorest person in the world quite quickly, i.e. billions in debt.

Next stop: Build an underwater city.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 16 points 1 day ago

I wish more billionaires would get on those... and visit WW1 era military shipwrecks...

spoilerThe reason why that is a terrible idea is because during WW1, many naval artillery shells used picric acid as an explosive filler, picric acid reacts readily with metals to form highly sensitive picrate salts that are very sensitive to detonation upon being disturbed. Meaning messing with them even slightly has a significant risk of a massive underwater explosion happening. WW1 era military shipwrecks are strictly off limits to divers for that very reason.
