… he wants to call it The Foundation.

Dude legit thinks he’s a non-fiction modern-day Hari Seldon instead of a rich spoiled child with questionable taste in long leather coats who got the timing right in the .com bubble.

What the fuck is going on lmao

Another one of his references to science fiction novels and films he references but has either never actually seen or didn't understand.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

At least he used to be able to think clearly. I think his brain has turned to mush from all the blow.

[-] ttmrichter@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

He was never able to think clearly. Read what his former partners (business and otherwise) have to say about him.

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 2 points 6 months ago

The years of articles about how “Elon Musk is the smartest person in every room … the most hard-working ever…” seem beyond ridiculous at this point.

[-] ttmrichter@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Welcome to the "free" press.

It's just billionaire-shilling for whoever happens to be the flavour of the moment.

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 4 points 6 months ago

Is he going to hire Eliezer Yudkovsky as a professor and get him to teach The Sequences?

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 25 points 6 months ago

"SpaceX and Tesla have noticed a meaningful degradation in the capability of US college graduates over the past several years," Musk wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday.

You don’t even have an engineering degree.

[-] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 16 points 6 months ago

He noticed a degradation in the applicants who want to work for him and perceived that through a narcissistic lens .

Maybe he can have Terrence Howard as a professor?

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 2 points 6 months ago

Coincidentally, back when Tesla was new and hit and before they had a reputation as an abusive workplace, they had a higher quality of applicants. Must be happening to everyone, right?

[-] Illuminostro@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

How dare you. His daddy's money bought him one. From Zambia Technologique.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 11 points 6 months ago

He only ever got an economics degree.

He was too stupid to earn a physics degree.

He only got a physics degree 2 year after leaving the school, when the school got a huge "donation".

man he is mid life crisising hard.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd think they didn't like me..."

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

This is an excellent term. Know that I plan to steal it.

[-] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 1 points 6 months ago

I wish i'd be more of an end life crisis

The grifts must go on

Underrated comment

[-] Hubi@feddit.de 12 points 6 months ago

Can't we just skip to the part where he and his followers drink the Kool-Aid?

Damn, that’s like asking for a Coke at your last meal and getting Shasta…

[-] 800XL@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

Trump already did this. More than once I believe.

Private schools are the new grift. First it was for-profit private universities, now it’s K12. Unfortunately for Elon, the school voucher bill in Texas didn’t pass, despite the efforts of his buddies in the Tx lege. so will he even bother with the project now?

[-] Froyn@kbin.social 3 points 6 months ago

They plan to be the Trump University of online schooling.

[-] drdabbles@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

How short a memory BI pretends to have. He tweeted about this moronic idea years ago and said he wanted to call it The Institute of Technology and Science because the initialism is TITS. He's a clown, and pretending that isn't still his main motivation lends him credibility.

[-] ttmrichter@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Maybe he should open the trial run in Sachs Harbour to form the Sachs Harbour Institute of Technology.

It would be a proper appellation for anything he makes.

[-] iterable@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

I mean it almost worked for Trump...sure he was the one who suggested it to him.

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 1 points 6 months ago

Elton’s university is likely to be a half-baked indoctrination center. Trump’s was just a straight up scam.

[-] Illuminostro@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago
[-] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 4 points 6 months ago

Charter University of New Technology and Science.

[-] ttmrichter@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Musk University! The jokes write themselves!

[-] Whatevster@lemmy.today 1 points 6 months ago

Bovine University?
