I did not see this published outside of India. But not sure why. It’s all based on Xitter.

ive been living with a combination of drugs depression and stress for most of my life and im not a megalomaniac asshole billionaire hellbent on destroying the country...

[–] BigPotato@lemmy.world 7 points 43 minutes ago (1 children)

But if you had money, you might just be.

[–] DogEarBookmark@reddthat.com 1 points 8 minutes ago

Broke ass cant even destroy the world with his depression

/s

[–] Naz@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 minutes ago

Yeah that's the key takeaway.

A billion dollars turns you into some kind of Duke, or Landed Noble.

Where you can like.. buy a small army, take over a country, that sort of thing.

Billionaires shouldn't exist.

Homeboys scams are coming to an end and those will destroy him, so he is trying to destroy America instead and has found useful greedy idiots to help.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 52 minutes ago

I must imagine it is quite stressful to be the single most hated person on the planet. Then again, I think that would be easy to remedy by simply not being a fascist fuckwit.

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 11 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Cool, i hope he has a painful and debilitating aneurysm during a live interview in the Oval.

[–] AHamSandwich@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

Stop, my penis can only get so erect.

[–] EaterOfLentils@lemmy.world 1 points 20 minutes ago

Only if he also soils himself.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmings.world 21 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Hopefully he offs himself before his DOGE takes full control of a nuclear silo.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 10 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

He’ll be replaced by another billionaire, with their own agenda.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

I mean it would set an example

[–] PNWKid@lemm.ee 7 points 2 hours ago

That’s probably true but it would still be semi cathartic to see Musk off himself

Well said, and may I add, with a rusty reamer

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Goddam. That's an old, big, reamer. Looks like it's for hand reaming wood. Modern reamers for metal are very different.

The funny thing is, that's the perfect tool to ream a bunghole for a good fit for a plug.

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

Jaggedy for his pleasure. Better add diy reaming lube...mix hot pepper powder in lemon juice and vinegar. Mix with honey for a pasty texture that sticks.

[–] PearOfDees69@lemmy.world 16 points 3 hours ago

Praying for the worst for him. 🙏

Elon? Going mad? How is that possible, the guy's been mad since the beginning. He's a narcicitic asshole who can't handle that not everyone loves him and believes his lies so he turns super evil. I know OD on ketamine is hard, but I hope he'll try, and if he succeeds, it will be his first accomplishment which is actually good for this world.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

he will probably OD on cocaine, or die from alcohol poisoning.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

Perfect answer to this.

[–] Yoga@lemmy.ca 41 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Wealth doesn't heal old wounds. You can be the most powerful man in the world and not feel in control.

He needs a good therapist not a biographer.

Just when I was starting to feel some sympathy for him I googled "Elon Musk therapy" and this was the first thing to come up...

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 3 hours ago

"Guys would rather upend the world economy and peace in a ketamine bender than go to therapy"

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I would never defend Elon, but therapy ain't for everybody. I gave it a good honest try and my therapist fired me.

[–] Yoga@lemmy.ca 2 points 55 minutes ago

Finding a good match isn't easy but it's crucial.

[–] imvii@lemmy.ca 55 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Given how this douche canoe acts, and the damage he's done lately, I just hope he finds himself in a very slow, painful decline and maybe he'll snap while in the oval office with first lady Trump.

[–] maniclucky@lemmy.world 33 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Can we get a fast painful decline? Minimize how much harm he does to... everyone?

[–] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 hours ago

If he could decline in such a way that utterly destroys the United States empire, Israel, and Russia while causing minimal harm to the working class and oppressed minorities that would be great.

[–] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 16 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

Honestly. I'd be happy with decline at 3200 feet per second from 400 yards.

What does the richest man in history have to stress about. He doesn't know the meaning of real stress. The pansy.

[–] salty_mariner@lemmy.world 14 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I do think he has stress, but it's self-induced. He's clearly mentally unwell. Honestly, makes me think of that BoJack Horseman episode where you hear his inner monologue throughout the show and it's just things comments directed at himself like, "you piece of shit.", "You're so fat", etc.

Not an excuse at all for his actions, but I do really think that's what's going on. He hates himself. Needs constant validation. But no amount of validation is going to soothe his inner monologue. So he's spiraling while his stress continues to grow.

[–] ToiletFlushShowerScream@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Side note: K. Flay/'s song in that episode was really well used.
