Political Weirdos

Child of apartheid emerald baron doesn't like democracy.

Shocker.

And no, the headline isn’t exaggerating. It’s literally that cringe.

Elon, if you don’t like the USA system, why the flying fuck did you move here?

Go back to South Africa you ladder pulling, entitled piece of shit.

Take Canadian wannabe secessionist Ted Cruz with you.

lol. Dude is retweeting a chan board.

Yup, that’s where all the greatest minds congregate.

"high-T alpha males" This is something a 12 year old would post on r/redpill in 2014.

Some of the replies are hilarious. "you do not get to drop “low t men” when you look like shane gillis after a baron harkonnen-style milk bath"

Wait till he finds out that the consensus is that he is not a high status male despite his net worth.

Let me guess, assholes like Musk will be in charge.

Same old story, same old song and dance. Dudes with power and influence been screeching this since Plato's dong dangled beneath his toga.

As an autist, I'm revoking his diagnosis, he's neurotypical now.

He specifically means Engineers and "High IQ" men, and it's because of his grandfather - who was a hardline Technocrat and part of a kind of Ayn Randesque cult called "Technology Incorporated".

...but his grandfather didn't think the cult went far enough:

So that's where he's getting his ideas/inclinations.

I get people are gonna say he was always this bad but I honestly don't buy it.

While he was always an asshole, everyone has some ratio of bad/good. In the early/mid 2010s he was able to keep enough of a lid on things that he had a positive reputation with among both the public and investors. The limited comments he did make on politics were pretty liberal, and usually specific to the environment. He was liked enough in heavily liberal circles to get multiple positive shoutouts. One of them was from freaking Star Trek, which as a sidenote inadvertently ended up aging like wine.

Modern Elon is absolutely unhinged. He seems to spend more time on Twitter making an ass of himself in ways you'd normally associate with a teenage edge lord. He's an active and aggressive liability to his companies, both in terms of his persona and business decisions. He's huge on politics to the point where he tried to interfere with the Russo-Ukraine war for a bit. A lot of times it feels like it's a matter of time before he gets on stage with Kanye and starts trying to rap.

I think a combination of social media and covid broke him. I know Lemmy doesn't think rich people are human, but I think it's more nuanced than that. While they often have quirks, at the end of the day we're all human. There are millions of people whose brains became fried due to culture war shit on social media post 2014. There's no reason Elon would be immune to the same mechanisms that radicalize an average person.

White land owning males, like the republic of old.

"Guy who did nothing to earn any of his power thinks he should have more power."

The OP was the definition of "I'm 12 and this is deep."

The original post that Elon upvoted was the biggest pile of steaming shit. It was in stupid, ignorant, and shows a total lack of healthy social interactions. Here's what the original post said that Elon responded with "Interesting observation":

"People who can't defend themselves physically (women and low T men) parse information though a consensus filter as a safety mechanism. They literally do not ask 'is this true', they ask 'will others be ok with me thinking this is true'. This makes them very malleable to brute force manufactured consensus; if every screen they look at says teh same thing they will adopt that position because their brain tinterprets it as everyone in a tribe believing it. Only high T alpha males and aneurotypical poeple are actually free to parse new informaiton with an objective 'is this true?' filter. This is why a Republic of high status males is best for decision making. Democratic, but a democraxcy only for those who are free to think."

This is a load of horse shit without an iota of real life insight.

I mean, that's pretty much what we've always had...

"Wouldn't it be much nicer and easier if we lived in an oligarchy?" Said the man who would benefit the most from an oligarchy.

It's such a crazy stance to have when you consider the fact that America is basically already a corporatocracy and this guy literally owns parts of the corporations that have huge influence on American law and policy. Like, I guess already being able to lobby and fuck over the people just isn't enough for these people and they need to have full authoritarian control?

I guess it's true what they say, "Give them a inch..."

This guy is laughabley brain dead, as was the post he promoted.

What will he be doing while they run things?

This is the same argument that pro-slavers here in the United States were making before the Civil War that said no to that idea.

aneurotypical people

I am a 4chan autist and I reluctantly accept the heavy burden of ruling you all with an iron fist.

(I hope it's autist || high_T rather than autist && high_T.)

DIVORCE.

Musk should have his photo in the dictionary under C for ‘creep’, ‘cunt’, etc

But Musk can only be part of the leadership if he wins cage matches with 10 other randomly chosen billionaires, and beats 20 random women (each best of 3) in chess, 20 random women in poker, and 20 random women in billiards (8-ball, snooker, and carom: best of the 3).

In political science, a reactionary or a reactionist is a person who holds political views that favor a return to the status quo ante—the previous political state of society—which the person believes possessed positive characteristics that are absent from contemporary society.

Reactionaries hate democracy because it gives power to those they seek to exploit.
