Elon Musk

you have to admit that musk is in the ninety-ninth percentile as a self-promoter. he has the knack for making pronouncements just weird enough to get big play in the media, not so weird he loses the faith of the investor class, but which generally hit the sweet spot of "brilliant eccentric"

it's almost as if the media is easily gamed by billionaires

Potentially a positive development if disillusioned groupies start thinking critically re hero worshipping obscenely wealthy entrepreneurs

That’s no way to refer to grimus

"these billionaires sure are amazing at media" --the media

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/thai-cave-rescue-elon-musk-mini-submarine-british-driver-tham-luang-vern-unsworth-a8447166.html

“The submarine, I believe, was about five foot six long, rigid, so it wouldn’t have gone round corners or round any obstacles.

“It wouldn’t have made the first 50 metres into the cave from the dive start point. Just a PR stunt.”

The experienced cave explorer said Musk was “asked to leave very quickly” after he turned up at the caverns during the rescue operation on Tuesday.

Brit diver who helped locate the lost party says Musk can 'stick his submarine (which looks like an oversized suppository) where it hurts'

guy who helped save kids points out EM’s thing was an unworkable publicity stunt... EM calls the guy a pedophile. we are weeks away from “Enron Musk” headlines https://t.co/WArAW4Gxdb

starting to think this guy might be problematic tbh

Oh no this is gorgeous

His suckage gets more classic on a daily basis

Kinda strange to consider now that only a few weeks ago grimus fans were extremely betrayed that the empress of shitpostcore would deign to date him

Never saw this British expat guy who lives in Thailand (sus) at any point when we were in the caves. Only people in sight were the Thai navy/army guys, who were great. Thai navy seals escorted us in — total opposite of wanting us to leave.

You know what, don’t bother showing the video. We will make one of the mini-sub/pod going all the way to Cave 5 no problemo. Sorry pedo guy, you really did ask for it.

what a scumbag

that's gotta be actionable

Yes, have fun suing the insanely rich person.

Slam dunk libel case in the British courts.

Which drugs do we think he’s on?

mixture of cocaine and grown adults unironically calling him batman/iron man

The thing that really bugs me about Musk is how unspecial he is. Union-fearing dweebs with either a serious coke habit, some freak diet, or both, along with reactionary politics, megalomania, and breathtaking self-regard are nothing special, esp in the tech sector. Really the only difference is his visibility, willingness to say stupid shit in public, and his immense army of extremely online sycophants.

suspect many of them may be controlled by a pr firm, theres something uncanny about how they all pop up saying the same shit

he's actually rich enough to have a cocaine habit

He’s definitely petty enough to hire a pr firm to stroke him off on Twitter

less stroking off, more stroking out pls elton

elon musk go to mars bitch

That may be so re his Twitter fluffers but the uncritical cult is real, I have encountered them

yeah hes def actually popular irl but just something about the pattern on twitter makes me suspicious

Elon Musk more like Noel Skum

damn

It's comforting to think the lackeys are paid/controlled but no, a lot of people really do just admire him and will defend his honor against fiendish literal hero rescue divers. People say the same shit a lot cause they're dumb and parrot the same shit, no different from people who @ commies and socialists with posts that literally just say "Venezuela"

yeah hes def actually popular irl but just something about the pattern on twitter makes me suspicious

It’s funny when you see on Twitter someone is arguing with some dumb as a bathtub maga chud & then someone else runs their posts thru a bot checker & it’s 90% and they’re like aha! but it’s like... stupid people post like that

(This isn’t arguing against your post lagn, no need to c&p again)

one of the things about musks fans that set off the —alarm— is theyre not generally rude or mad theyre more "wow what have you done to improve humanity like this great man" i mean its def within the realm of possibility that he just has the most boring fans of anyone in the world but i just wldnt be surprised if when this scam all shakes out that theres not a story about payments to a shady pr firm

Elon Musk has definitely jumped the shark lately, no? I'd expect people to jump ship sooner or later, but I'd thought the same about Assange and Greenwald at this point, so what do I know.

Elon is developing a new kind of shark. What have you done?

lol

is he really jumping the shark? clowning on this guy for not being progressive has always been in fashion. look at this thread, it's all about highlighting sycophants and then complaining about their influence. the Elon PWN Cycle is simply compounding at an exponential rate, vis a vis the brain dead ease of Fandom Shaming.

Being popular with isolated sociopaths doesn't equal being IRL popular, fuck this protoplasm.

I think Fred is referring to him calling a random rescue worker a pedo and insisting he will prove his useless mini-sub could have saved the kids that have already been saved

he will prove his useless mini-sub could have saved the kids that have already been saved

good. it will keep him occupied and off the streets. unless, of course, he doesn't follow through with his announced plan. but when was that ever true?

Really hope Unsworth takes Musk to the cleaners for that disgusting slur.

I guess you could argue that billionaire cretins function more as torches than sirens

Well, that and a bunch of other stuff these last few weeks. He seems to spend more and more time shouting at random people on twitter.

clearly a presidency bid

tweets all gone now. Liked the comment that he catches fire as fast as one of his cars.
