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

Soon as he starts foaming at the mouth, call animal control to come and lop his head off for the rabies study

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

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...

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 37 points 1 day ago (5 children)

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

It's not the most important reason by a long shot, but it's yet another reason why extreme wealth hoarding, aka billionaires and centimillionaires, should have been taxed out of existence and legislated from existing going forward:

Even they aren't happy, even sitting in the complete victory of their coup. They could have a dozen space station mansions each and they still wouldn't be satiated or satisfied. They can't be satisfied. That is their defining character deficit. Literally everybody loses so long as the avarice diseased capitalists remain in charge, even them. The intensity of their cringeworthy attempts at social media flexes betrays their intent and blasts us all with their screaming insecurities day in and day out.

They're mentally ill with an obsession/compulsion related disorder that they've manipulated civilization into enabling at literally every possible expense, including mass human murder and seriously risking human extinction for short term private profit.

They should be in mental health facilities receiving inpatient treatment for their extremely destructive antisocial behaviors for both their and everyone else's safety and wellbeing, too bad at least in the US they defunded mental healthcare into utter ruin (and education, and common infrastructure, etc) to cut their own taxes through their captured government.

The inmates are truly running ~~the asylum~~ our society.

A good way to think about it, how would society percieve them if they were hoarding anything else at this scale?

Imagine the guy having warehouses all over the world filled with toilet paper, private security around the compound, and campaign ads to reduce real estate taxes for storage units.

Or somebody having the largest lego collection in the world, constant buying out and threatening other collectors.

It’s a mental illness.

American media is 50% terrified of criticizing him and losing access, and 50% complicit.

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.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 14 hours ago

also stressful to think about hate all the time.

Thats why power and management of a country should be spread thin, to avoid that corruption from a single point to affect the life of many

Just to pointlessly clarify, this is article is a paraphrasing of tweets by a journalist who calls himself a Musk biographer. The quoted journalist is not, as the possessive apostrophe in the headline implies, a biographer hired by Musk.
