Elon Musk

xxxpost Villain arcs usually END with submarines

the submarine thing was really the beginning of it and was also the period of time when a lot of my moderately liberal friends still liked Elon

That fucking car looks like it'd kill someone even if it bumped them at low speed. Not to mention it is absurdly large, t'fuck is with all thes monster cars these days?

ain't that america

who once inspired "Iron Man,"

Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, Don Heck and Jack Kirby would like a word.

that was a weird and silly thing to claim yes, since the comic character predates the birth of the second-richest blight by some eight years

i guess (as a veteran of many a fact-check conversation) it's not *impossible* that such elements of the downey-era portrayal as don't predate do fit this description

also: something ultra-musky abt a supervillain that doesn't even bother building the mini-submarine his villainy fully demands

damn

you are so funny you should die in horrible agony sir

A screendoor on a submarine!

difficult to know whether getting bodied by sam altman is worse for his psyche than getting booed at chappelle.

Explains why he couldn't rescue those Thai kids then xp

if you shoot an Elon Musk biopic and you add a death scene in the movie do he die in real life

a friend who went to film school with Aronofsky says "ugh, a perfect match"

I wonder which Hollywood actor is going to allow their face to be flattened by an iron in order to look like Musk

Austin Butler might work if he gets his face smooshed up a bit.

I bet Musk could talk for hours about how much he loves Pi.

And then name a kid after it

featuring Tom Hanks as Grimes, to keep the pair together

https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/spacex-musk-safety/

Reuters documented at least 600 previously unreported workplace injuries at Musk’s rocket company: crushed limbs, amputations, electrocutions, head and eye wounds and one death. SpaceX employees say they’re paying the price for the billionaire’s push to colonize space at breakneck speed.

what did they think "breakneck" meant

It’s right on the tin

you guys didn't click through huh :(

yikes, no I didn't, but immediately regret making that statement now that I just did! :(

in all seriousness, this is the part of Elon's "piece-of-shittery" that I wish got talked about more. not that it's not important to call him out for his anti-Semitism, racism, transphobia, and the other things he does, but word about him as a neglectful employer has been pretty loud for years, and so many assholes chalked it up to "geniuses can be hard to work for sometimes, idk what to tell you".

yeah absolutely, especially since one of the previous major stories about his terrible management was about how rampantly racist the Tesla Fremont plant was, which was well before he took over twitter. His "rightward turn" was pretty easy to predict

Immediate Bluesky riff on it:

hello yes one CIDERFRUKK please

wait is CIDERTRUKK not a Tesla? It's like it's own thing?

nobody in FL gonna drive that, you can't put a Salt Life sticker on it

god, it's so ugly. It's not even "child draws their dream car" ugly, it's "tell an AI chatbot to design a car in Mindcraft" ugly.

if Homer Simpson had trotted this car out instead, his brother would have shot him on sight

Looks like it was designed by Henry Rollins in Johnny Mnemonic

the tires don't look very standard... I'll be you only buy them at CYDRTRUXX retailers

Bruce Levenstein did that one better -- he shared this image with the line "My Uber is here."

This guy sucks but he’s not wrong about polytopia (iOS). I’m playing it again. Such a great game. Easily better than chess.

spoken like someone who hasnt spent the last half hour learning life lessons from solving pin pattern puzzles

ok I spent half the day playing Polytopia and I’m going to rate it “kind of ok”

everything is too small and fiddly

i remember it being more legible on old iphones. i wonder if it needs some kind of update for higher res screens?

can i say something about games here so many games are just complicated, getting good at them is learning the rules, game as a tutorial
