Ain't this guy pro Trump? I'm starting to think Elon might be some sort of idiot...

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 67 points 6 months ago (3 children)

And I'm not even sure if he qualifies as a useful idiot...

[–] art@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Nope. Just the regular kind.

Elon still thinks of himself as a disaffected youth because it was probably the only time in his life he ever had any friends. Surrounded by sycophants they just reinforce what ever elon thinks cause they don't give a shit about him only that their checks get signed.

[–] jecxjo@midwest.social 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You think he really had friends?!?

He is the quintessential elitist who has never had real struggles, nor had any really meaningful life experiences.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I'm sure he was tolerated by some dweebs Lan party for some time until they got sick of him. Sure every single one of them will talk about how much of a dick he was and not sure whose friend he was anyway. For leon though, that was his hay day and everyone thought he was hilarious.

He really is a stupid motherfucker

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I just watched Glass Onion and when Benoit Blanc announced frustrated that Miles Bron, the billionaire in the movie, is not some cryptic genius but rather an overrated idiot, I strongly felt that he must've been inspired by Elon Musk.

[–] hexabs@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The creators have had to reiterate that Miles Bron was not inspired by Musk and the semblance was a "horrible accident" lol

To be fair he didn't want to

[–] Rookwood@lemmy.world 68 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Oh yeah. I forget sometimes that that was the most expensive shitpost of all time.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 34 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] jared@mander.xyz 10 points 6 months ago

Yeah, we need to spend more on our shitpost!

[–] Hegar@fedia.io 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Trump didn't want to win in 2016. His whole candidacy was basically a shit post gone awry, and that was so expensive that it may still cost us democracy in the US.

TBF again, he probably could have sold it again and not lost himself and other investors so much money. He still has a hero complex, it is part of his stupidity.

[–] missingno@fedia.io 9 points 6 months ago

Sell the website to who? Aquaman?

[–] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What!? He was forced to be responsible for his words? /s

I can't remember, exactly, but didn't he start the process and then try and back out of it?

[–] TheOneCurly@lemm.ee 11 points 6 months ago

Yes he sent a damn signed contract.

[–] random_character_a@lemmy.world 38 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

His act kinda resembles a guy who would have had a burnout, but keeps going with amphetamine. Not sleeping at nights, unable to concentrate, arbitrary snap decisions, slowly loosing sanity, illusions of grandeur, common ideological ground with Trump, etc. Decade of that and he'll be Trump.

[–] RegalPotoo@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Oh shit it hadn't occurred to me that the logical end state for Elon is running for president

[–] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 28 points 6 months ago (7 children)

Born outside the USA, so Elon can't run for president.

[–] Spezi@feddit.org 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I‘m so glad this is the case.

Not yet, but he's already eyeing a role in government. Wouldn't surprise me if he eventually manipulated Trump into creating a special class of immigrant citizens who receive naturalization because of "service to the nation" granted by the president or some such.

I bet he really thinks "i am not one of those that want power, i have and always had power".

He sees himself on a much much higher level of existence, than we mere lemmings...

At least, that's my impression.
