Elon Musk

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?

incredible

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.

to answer my own question

https://www.gofundme.com/Tripp-vs-Tesla-help-fund-the-fight

can we just shoot Elon Musk into space now plz

I wasn’t called that until my companies got to a certain size,

like... the billion dollar valuation size?

but reality is that I still do the same science & engineering as before.

none, because you're not an engineer or scientist?

I like him for entertainment value.

surely his bloated corpse orbiting the moon would be entertaining

the infrastructure in question is digging a series of tunnels connecting elon's house and workplace and some other places he'd like to visit from time to time without sitting in traffic.

excuse me billionaire is a slur. blocked

if only there were some way to not be a billionaire oh well

Imagine trying to coax one of the kids into that terrifying floating coffin after they've spent two weeks in a cave

do you think the team working on it had to keep reminding each other not to call it that?

can't believe elon hired that man who put his boy in a balloon to lead his engineering team

on the plus side he can repurpose those coffins to re-create The City of Freedom from the Holy Mountain

turns out complaining about elon musk on the internet might bring some people in flint some water?

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-11/musk-pledges-to-pay-for-clean-water-to-homes-in-flint-michigan

so wait, was he actually asked to do this?

This reaction has shaken my opinion of many people. We were asked to create a backup option & worked hard to do so. Checked with dive team many times to confirm it was worthwhile. Now it’s there for anyone who needs it in future. Something’s messed up if this is not a good thing.
