It astounds me that a middle aged man, who can literally afford anything, do anything, go anywhere, is so fragile emotionally that he craves adulation from absolute strangers. Particularly teenage boys, which emotionally, he is also.
It would be pitiable if we wasn't such a psychopath.
As a wise man recently said,
They tried to rig the game, but you can't fake influence.
Money can buy everything but it can't buy respect. Nobody respects Musk getting to level 90+ in SSF HC PoE2 because he just bought his way there. Nobody respects him on Twitter, because he bought his way there. Nobody respects Tesla, because (say it with me kids) he bought his way there.
Money can absolutely buy respect the problem is fuckwad is too stupid to know how, for example he could bankroll building functional replicas of historic vehicles and weapons for museums which would earn him some respect. That's assuming he doesn't want to help the poor and build public libraries like Rockefeller or Carnegie.
What gets me is that he has the means to become the most beloved man in history pretty much on a whim. I can't even begin to comprehend the amount of good he could do by dumping half his fortune into good causes, which would still leave him with orders of magnitude more money than he'd need to buy/do whatever the fuck he wants with.
The attention he craves is right there. But he chooses instead to be a villain. Why?? Be a fucking superhero - even if it's for completely selfish reasons, humanity won't give shit.
I don't get it.
If I randomly obtained a billion dollars, let alone hundreds of billions, I'd spend the rest of my life riding a warm-and-fuzzy high. Helping people feels good!
Look at Bill Gates. He's a complete asshole and was widely hated until he stepped down from Microsoft. But, spend just a small fraction of his fortune on charity, much of it self-serving, and he's now he's widely loved.
If I randomly obtained a billion dollars, let alone hundreds of billions, I'd spend the rest of my life riding a warm-and-fuzzy high. Helping people feels good!
The thing is, you don't become a billionaire if you have empathy. If you're a normal kind of person who likes helping other people, you start giving away your money long before you hit $1B.
From what I understand, Musk was under investigation from multiple federal US agencies for malfeasance, I don't know for what, but he got involved to make those investigations go away. Then he got addicted to being in charge after buying The Presidency.
Because, as we all know, narcissists love being in charge, and adulation.
And why is he being an asshole, when he could be generous and beneficent, and get the adulation he craves? Because he thinks he's superior, and like he said, empathy is weakness, He is unable to understand, or feel empathy.
He had that aura when he was building Tesla and solar city and the gigafactory. Become a billionaire and fight climate change? Go Elon.
Go to Mars? Bit of a stretch goal, but helping Nasa and science is good. Go Elon.
Save kids trapped underground? Go Elon.
What? Called him a pedophile? Maybe he has some inside knowledge. Anyway.
Shout about doge coin? Bit weird. Ok he's just having fun.
Sell a consumer grade flamethrower? What?
Pay 44bn for Twitter? What? Where's the value? This doesn't save the world.
And down and down.
And let's be real, it's ok to be emotional and want attention. That's human.
But I'm sure this can be done, and is probably easier to accomplish by not being a nazi, which is the real issue here.
Elon. It’s me, Ashley St. Claire. I have no other means of contacting you so I bought PoE2 early access. Please pay your child support. Thank you Elon
I died
Notice that despite the awesome trolling, it wasn't until someone called him dumb and ugly that it elicited a response from him. Calling him out for being a piece of shit doesn't work, denigrating the attributes he built a superiority complex on.....ohhh fuck yeah that shit burns him real good.
The richest guy in the world, and he is so horny for any love and respect that the smell of desperation fills any room he is in. You can even see it anytime he makes a media appearance. The guy actually exudes a breath-taking level of anti-charisma. He's truly revolting to anyone who sees him.
All that money, and he has to rent wombs to manufature his DNA Storage Units/ Organ Donors/ Human Shields because no woman will go near him. Ive heard his dick doesn't work anyway, due to a botched wiener enlargement surgery.
So he thinks the gamers are his peeps, and they'll love him, right? Nah, all those great toys, and still none of the neighborhood kids want to play with him, because he's so fucking wierd.
It makes me so happy to see him demonstrating in real time, the old saying "Money can't buy happiness."
Well if it was just that he was weird he could probably find a real friend or two. Hell I know a ton of just god awful people who still have folks who wanna hang with them.
It's that there's no mutual benefit to knowing or liking him at all. Even your typical maga shitdick has friends who like them but Muskrats only here for clout and that's the kinda guy who turns on you for a quick part on the back from someone who hasn't told them theyre special today.
Reminder: He died to a Tutorial Boss in a game he tried to use a boosted account in to fake being one of the top players only for the devs to go "Wait, aren't you a top Diablo IV player? Either you have the time management skills of a God and are the top player in multiple games, or you're bullshitting..... and guess what's the winning one."
It's such a weird thing to do. He's in his fifties. He has a bunch of companies and a bunch of kids. If he was a top ranked POE player would you respect him more or would ypu respect him less because he was shirking his duties to work and family to crush mobs?
Correction: Elon musk tries to prove his gaming skills and then Rage Quits after dying to the Tutorial Boss.
The bullying was a side piece.
It's gonna be crazy when the American people cut his head off live on Twitch.
TRUMP BEING GADAFFI'D!!!
LIVE!!!
Brought to you exclusively on Amazon Prime.
This should happen to him everywhere he goes for the rest of his days
its almost as if he forgot what gamers are. bitch behind a keyboard forgot that other people can be bitches behind keyboards too.
He thought all gamers consisted of gamergate incels.
In the age of information take-downs by the Fanta Menace's Nazi regime, make sure to archive this and mirror it to Peertube and Archive.org.
YouTube link (for now, it will probably disappear in the next 48 hours): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDJaymU2hfw
You can also find this on Archive.org. I won't put the link here to help protect it from takedowns. If you have the capacity to do so, seed the torrent. Don't let the world forget of this hilarious clown-show.
And remember - you probably feel empathy witnessing someone get bullied like this. But don't forget what this James Bond villain is responsible for, the havoc he has caused, and the millions of lives he has disrupted. Harden your heart because these facists will NEVER change. Cyberdump man-baby emerald mine fascist Nazi jumping Tesla man deserves to get cyberbullied, and at points in the video he looks like he is going to cry; those are Crocodile Tears. He'll hide the pain with his hundreds of billions of dollars, memes, and ketamine while sitting in his ivory tower resting his feet on Trump's back.
Bullying a bully isn't bullying.
I read that he lost to a tutorial boss during the stream. lmao
top 10 player btw...
what a fucking idiot. no one would be making fun of him if he just said he likes playing video games but as a CEO of multiple companies he's too busy (lol) to get good at them. just say you suck at video games but love the art form, dumbass. but he can't because he's sick in the head and desperately needs approval from other unfuckable shits.
Or, he could just say, 'I'm new to this game, I suck," and laugh it off with everyone else. I think that would be popular. "Let's watch Elon suck at games."
But no. Embarrassment is worse than death to a narcissist. But he keeps setting himself up for humiliation, for attention.
This man is mentally ill.
It's the Find Out stage that follows his Fuck Around rather than any sort of him being bullied.
When extremely wealthy and powerful people knowingly ruining the lives of tens, hundreds of thousands or even millions, them getting some well deserved opprobrium from everybody else, that's Fair Consequences, not bullying.
I mean, I wouldn't call it fair. They said some really nasty things but I think for it to be fair, we would have to get a guillotine involved.
lol rage quits, whining about being bullied on X. Somebody needs to slap the wokism out of Felon Musk.
Little bitch
Love it but be careful, dude is your president now
All the more reason to give him hell for doing a terrible job. If you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen.
Maybe if we all just start referring to this as “the gas leak season” while we’re in it we can break the 4th wall and escape whatever the fuck this supposed reality is.
Imagine if we could piss him off hard enough to seppuku on stream about it.
It would be such a glorious story for history.
That'd be some must-see content.
I would want stickers if it. That kind you can tilt back and forth for a short animation.
Just drink that satisfaction and joy right from the air.
A recommended article on the page:
Streamer Slams ‘F***ing Loser’ Musk: ‘Imma Have Grimes on’: ‘BATTLE OF THE NERDS’
Sorry, what has Elon done to deserve any amount of nerd cred?
Oh he's a nerd for sure, just one whose ego outsizes his nerdyness by far.
He's considered an average self-taught programmer by skill, but started fairly early because of his interest in computers. There's also no way he started SpaceX purely for profit, he had to actually be very interested in space because it was a money pit for a looong time.
I think he went from wanting to make the world a better, more efficient place via tech in the 90s and early 00s, to having a savior complex where he thinks he's the smartest man to ever have existed, and only he can save the entire world. His goals required him to make a lot of money, and the very same money completely changed him.
That's not to say he wasn't always an asshole with a superiority complex, it's just that there quite likely was more to him than just the pursuit of money and power... But having plenty of both silenced any actual human part of his personality.
Eventually, he vanished when his WiFi connection abruptly cut out and ended the stream, which he later deleted from X
The whole thing was a stunt to promote Starlink.
I just checked Reddit to see if this headline was there, and I didn't find it. At least not near the top anywhere. Isn't that strange? /s
I saw it on r/watchpeopledieinside. I saved the video from the post. It was beautiful to see. The moment he broke down and claimed there was a lost connection was when "YOU HAVE NO REAL FRIENDS AND YOU'LL DIE ALONE" entered the chat. Use YouTube to watch it.
What a little bitch.
Make comedy legal again.Well Elmo that was fucking hilarious.
If rage quitting is not another gamer classic traditional activity, I don't know what is LMAO 🤣
You love to see it.
