Thanos was the universe's biggest mass murderer, but at least he had a point (even if his solution was the dumbest thing imaginable}. Musk is just a PoS.

In the comics Thanos was straight up the right man hand/side hoe of the concept of death made manifest the whole point of offing half of all life was just to make mistress death happy (I think she actually ordered it). A lot of the original plot points of the infinity war and its buildup was lost in translation. Movie thanos motivations werent even half baked, he could have doubled resources and made a paradise for life with his motivations

15 years ago I thought he was a dorky rich guy with a well-connected publicist.

10 years ago I thought he was a too-full-of-himself car manufacturer who bought his way into the game who overestimated his own engineering prowess.

5 years ago I thought he was an asshole and wondered why other people seemed to respect him.

Now I think he's a pathetic rich guy who got used and thrown away by Trump, the guy famous for using people and then throwing them away. Fuckin' cuck of a chump who could have his cock in the US's pussy and still wouldn't have the balls to fuck.

Nah, people thought he was Tony Stark but he was really Justin Hammer.

Fuck Phony Stark

He was always a villian but tech bros wanted to circlejerk

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Relax, Thanos and Iron man had real power.

No on is looking at elon like that,and no one ever did

He’d look better like this

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

These days he looks more like this:

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Was more or less aware of who he was until the cave incident where all his worse tendencies came to light with enough reach to get to me.

Then some research later, I was aware of tech bros and their ilk.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nah, he’s Ellis in Die Hard, or Burke in Aliens.

Jack Black in Tropic Thunder.

Absolutely not.

Musky was an obvious scumbag since ever, just a money-grabbing mentality even if it means doing shitty things.

But it's easy for people with monies to just create a whatever fantasy image they wish.

If you saw him as a hero at any point, you're not brighter than a MAGAt

Elon as Thanos? Naw, Thanos was right. Elon? Not so much...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

No way. Thanos was actually cool.

He transformed a car into space garbage for publicity in 2015.

I'm man enough to admit that I thought he was the closest thing we had to Tony Stark even though I knew at the time he wasn't really that close to Tony Stark, and now I know just how wrong I was. Damn.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Round Iron Man 2 coming out and his cameo, I kinda felt that way too. Some 2-4 years later that feeling was entirely gone.

Musk as Lex Luthor would be a better fit, and even that might be insulting to Luthor.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

At least Luthor is actually intelligent.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

He fired the public image prople because he thougth he can do it better.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I always saw Musk as a dumbass who didn't know what he was doing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Back then he had a PR team. He probably fired them because he started buying their lies.
