This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I always assumed he was a moderately intelligent tech CEO until I saw a clip a few years ago where he was showing off the evolution of Starlink rockets and he referred to the piping and whatnot on the outside of the rockets as "the fiddly bits".

Unrelated, but he was also wearing a t-shirt that highlighted his noodle arms and his man boobs. You would think that somebody vain enough to get hair implants and plastic surgery would have enough sense to at least dress in a flattering manner.

if you've seen his body you know there's no fabric on this here earth that can flatter his troglodyte figure.

he was always assumed to be somewhat smart by people who don't know what he's talking about. the moment he talks about anything you know you realize he's full of shit. that's why astronauts he idolized for example never bought his shit, even when he was at his peak of popularity.

he's the embodiment of "it's better to stay silent and be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt". he's also the best counterargument to any idiot who thinks we live in a meritocratic system.

He used to be stupid. He still is, but he used to be, too.
