Elon Musk

moaty spent five days living in an underground sewage pipe iirc, gazza like musk turned up unbidden to offer his unsolicited assitance to the authorites who were trying to get him out

Indeed, tragic steroid-deranged wife beater and murderer or some schoolkids stupid enough to climb into a cave, I know where my sympathies lie.

i was feigning ignorance there, for once!

I thought you were impersonating an American ILXor, though the fact that you didn't start your sentence with, "Excuse me, sir...", threw me a bit.

in fairness to musk, maybe he'd just misunderstood what subbing players was all about

lol i came to this thread to report that i've now seen this identical joke emerge spontaneously/independently at least five times on twitter today -- well done everybody

so many people praising him for his selflessness "even if it didn't work"

ppl who defend musk in the comments are frickin wild man what a world

"I went to the hospital where a child was having open heart surgery. I brought a bowie knife and a wrench and was asked to leave. But the important thing is...I was there."

"I left the knife and wrench there should they ever need them!!"

yes i've seen that exchange half a dozen times too

"lol elon musk always a twat"
"SO WHAT DID YOU FUCKIN DO TO HELP ASSHOLE"

not gonna link to hardtimes but I did chuckle at the parody headline "Elon Musk and Bono team up to invent world's first self-praising car"

did he also leave a sub captain or instructions?

you know that a tesla submersible would be an utter fucking death trap too

xp it's self-driving iirc (j/k)

Gazza is a fucking hero.

I've done plenty to help asshole

read a blind item on crazy days and nights that was talking about how "unnamed tech ceo" with popstar gf is a huge coke head and a lightbulb appeared above my head. explains so much of his behaviour - firing a car into space and arguing with randos on twitter especially

nm should probably take that to the rimming thread xpost

saw a tweet reply literally all "musk doesnt care about good publicity hes a billionaire" lol

lmao

also spotted: "musk doesnt need publicity he shot a car into space"

had dinner w/my friend who works at tesla over the weekend and he's completely a non-cultist and was like "well, I've worked here almost two years, time to start hunting around"

also he admitted that some of the software engineers from his team were asked to come over to help carry parts around in the new tent-based production line

lol

incredible

well the good news is if anyone goes in that cave again and gets stuck there’s an unproven submersible no one knows how to operate made quickly by a man whose cars spontaneously combust ready to rescue them.

also it's too big to make it up and over a curve in the cave iirc

you can uh ride it halfway in

there will be a video game made about Musk's heroic venture

Doing the classic bum roommate move of leaving his shit behind in case anyone wants to use it huh

i have an otherwise reasonable friend who admires musk and is taking the "at least he's trying to help people" line. "Our infrastructure is in shambles and someone is putting his own money into trying to fix it"

it's frustrating.

people need to understand that hating musk is fun and good

"Our infrastructure is in shambles and someone is putting his own money into trying to fix it"

By sending a submarine to Thailand.

acquaintance of mine who snidely said he didn't think 'burger flippers deserved $15 an hour' and regularly posts "Be like Elon" memes that are riddled with factual errors also started a GoFundMe to repair his car after an accident (while not answering the question of why his insurance wouldn't be taking care of it).

Here he is claiming to have helped out in Flint - someone queue up the Simpsons Spock gif

Already have

found it

It's crazy to hear that people think he's doing this for the attention, do you honestly think the man that sent a car to space needs attention?

Can't get this out of my head now

His bootlicking cult is SO weird. Has anyone seen the woman who keeps trying to gift him crystals?

A person with any self awareness would feel ashamed about Trump managing to respond more appropriately ffs.

No, it means I created jobs for 50,000 people directly and, through parts suppliers & supporting professions, ~250,000 people indirectly, thus supporting half a million families. What have you done?

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 10, 2018

tbf abt 95% of the hot stanning is elon himself imo

yegads

has anyone noticed that all of Elon's adventures line up with stories in this kids' series? pretty sure this latest chapter covers both the time they built a submarine and the time people were lost in a cave

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mad_Scientists%27_Club

LOL what a prat.

did Elon just add 50k and 250k and come up with a half million xxp

I think his assumption was that every one of the 250,000 was married with a family, which somehow seems even worse to me

wait even that's wrong, lol

really cannot wait for whatever accounting scam theyre running over there at tesla to be exposed

otm

isn't there a kickstarter or something for the Tesla whistleblower? I oughta throw some $$ at that

I wonder how often Elon would rather be a physics engineer, or lead technical designer instead of having to carry the label of billionaire. Regardless of whether or not the capsule ended up being feasible, the man sprung into action to help people he’s never met. #ThaiCaveResue

What a burden.

Ironically, the “billionaire” label, when used by media, is almost always meant to devalue & denigrate the subject. I wasn’t called that until my companies got to a certain size, but reality is that I still do the same science & engineering as before. Just the scale has changed.
