if you order elon musk from wish, you get something better

Is this the 2024 version of chuck norris jokes

[–] eager_eagle 76 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Once a cobra bit elon's leg. After five days of excruciating pain, the cobra died of burnout.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago

Elon doesn't buy honey, he chews out workers.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 6 months ago

If Elon buys out your company, it will be so successful that your revenue rolls over and you actually lose money.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

I thought Elon is what you get when ordering Tony Stark from Wish but this is better.

This is my new favorite insult.

I'm glad almost no one calls him a genius anymore.

[–] samus12345 62 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Only the same people who call Trump a genius do now.

[–] random_character_a 10 points 6 months ago

Just guessing that both geniuses sniff the same stuff. They seem to get same kind of shitfits.

[–] knightmare1147 23 points 6 months ago

My parents still do. They can't fathom that a billionaire could be anything but a genius to aspire towards.

[–] Holyhandgrenade 19 points 6 months ago (3 children)

He tried really hard to be called the "real life Tony Stark" and he was successful until, idk, he fired his publicist? Whoever that was did a hell of a job making this moron look smart

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

I bet that publicist quit the day he called the diver who rescued those kids in Thailand a "pedo guy". That or he just got really lucky without a publicist for a long time until his opinions started being more important than his image or success.

Almost no one in your bubble/perception unfortunately. There are still lots of people that are only aware of him being a POS but still think he’s a genius.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

He's clearly smart. That's because he has a lot of money. Only smart people have money and the more money you have the more smarter you get.

[–] Everythingispenguins 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Fuck TIL I am dumb as a rock

[–] UnderpantsWeevil 4 points 6 months ago

Don't worry. Hit the slots and you might get smarter.

[–] [email protected] 78 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (6 children)

I guess I don't have to believe in gasses or vacuums. I can't see them. They're not real.

I also can't see billionaires money. I guess they're actually just broke bitches. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] FlyingSquid 43 points 6 months ago (1 children)

ATOMS are a lie told by the WOKE MIND VIRUS.

[–] Hobbes_Dent 21 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Gluons made the giraffes gay.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

It is all about that Upsilon grindstone.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

And fucking magnets. How do they work?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

For some reason I read glasses and in my mind I was: "Well I usually don't notice when I wear my glasses so it does makes sense..."
Maybe I need new ones...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I mean, you never had to believe in gasses or vacuum. They're real, so they don't depend on your belief or lack thereof.

"Reality is that which doesn't disappear when you stop believing in it"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I read this as grasses and vacuums as in vacuum cleaners at first and was like ????

Like when he said that the CyberTruck beat a ~~Porche~~ Porsche 911 in a quarter mile whilst towing a ~~Porche~~ Porsche 911, but Engineering Explained did the math and called BS. Then backed up the math by actually doing the quarter mile to prove it.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago (2 children)

It’s Porsche. Sorry to be that guy but that bothers me.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

No I’m happy to be corrected. I actually don’t know what’s come over me as a pedant myself, I should be ashamed.

[–] Somethingcheezie 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I read that a few times…is he saying Porsches break down a lot so ya the truck would win. But then I noticed the spellings. So ya a cyber truck would beat a Porche, they’re cheap knock offs of Porsches

[–] Maalus 17 points 6 months ago (6 children)

The entire gimmick was "cybertruck is faster loaded with an entire car and towing it, than the car itself". They didn't mention they didn't go for the entire 1/4 mile. They didn't mention they cherrypicked the slowest Porsche there is. They didn't mention they lightened the trailer etc. It was 100% made in their favour, yet they still lost.

Is seeing is, explicitly, believing, then we need to talk about magicians.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil 3 points 6 months ago

Nevermind magicians. What about Photoshop?

This is actually good advice in some regards. Go out and prove that what you have been told is true. Don't rely entirely on others to understand the world around you, rely on yourself and think critically about what you believe.

Of course, Conservatives like Musk and his followers are incapable of this. They will watch TV and browse social media and believe everything they are told if it suits them. They'll then insist they "did their own research", which really just translates to finding an echo chamber to seek validating from others on what they already believe.

[–] madcaesar 8 points 6 months ago

The better approach is to go out and try to disapprove the things you believe. That's how science works, and that's what will get you to the truth.

[–] InvaderDJ 2 points 6 months ago

That is what is frustrating. He doesn't really mean what you "see". He means go with your gut/surface level feelings and understanding. If you "see" something that goes against what you see or what you feel without any specialized knowledge on the subject, go with your priors.

This is how flat earth society was formed.

This is also how they keep proving themselves wrong in hilarious ways.
