I just watched Glass Onion and when Benoit Blanc announced frustrated that Miles Bron, the billionaire in the movie, is not some cryptic genius but rather an overrated idiot, I strongly felt that he must've been inspired by Elon Musk.
The creators have had to reiterate that Miles Bron was not inspired by Musk and the semblance was a "horrible accident" lol
Ain't this guy pro Trump? I'm starting to think Elon might be some sort of idiot...
Elon still thinks of himself as a disaffected youth because it was probably the only time in his life he ever had any friends. Surrounded by sycophants they just reinforce what ever elon thinks cause they don't give a shit about him only that their checks get signed.
You think he really had friends?!?
He is the quintessential elitist who has never had real struggles, nor had any really meaningful life experiences.

Are these guys referencing something specific or is this just general?
Only the "you made the sandwich" meme I think
Right, gotcha. Ty
It saddens me a little when I see people that I like still using the bird corpse. Harry is empowering Elon by burning him.
At least he didn't buy the checkmark
Yeah the only way to kill a troll is to... just stop talking to/about them. They feed off the negativity of others - Elon likes it when people increase the stock price of his company, and allow him to sell the userbase to advertising firms, so every single word of this just makes the Musk all that much stronger. Every. Single. Word.
This only works if everybody follows that rule.
In real life, some of this shit gain critical mass, and afterward, ignoring it would give it even more platform by leaving it uncontested.
First off, Elon isn't the guy who goes on Lemmy repeating clichés he's heard and accepted as fact without ever questioning.. is it even true? Or applicable? Sorry, but I think I'll go with Mark Twain and Voltaire on this one: the best way to deal with a narcissist is to let the air out of their ego and slam them with satire, exposing them for the idiots they actually are.
Elon isn't going to disappear just because you dare not speak his name. He's far too busy blowing up billions of dollars of taxpayer money while his mindless fanboys gargle musk and cheer.
Everyone should be calling him Leon
Hey that is my name, it doesnt have to be associated with the idiot Elon.
Leon Skum
I prefer Melon Husk.

It's a double edged sword.
To be fair he didn't want to
Oh yeah. I forget sometimes that that was the most expensive shitpost of all time.
Trump didn't want to win in 2016. His whole candidacy was basically a shit post gone awry, and that was so expensive that it may still cost us democracy in the US.

TBF again, he probably could have sold it again and not lost himself and other investors so much money. He still has a hero complex, it is part of his stupidity.
I mean, he couldhave sold it......but he bought it for 43 BILLION dollars.
Prior to the sale, twitter was losing money. It had never been profitable. And it was NEVER worth 43 BILLION dollars.
Sure, he could sell it for 30 million dollars, but what sense does that make?
The fact of it is, he'll likely never recover the costs he paid, because of the stupid high price he paid for a never profitable company.
The part that baffles me is......why haven't the userbase flooded outwards? If you're on twitter today, and you're not on bluesky/mastodon, you have nooooooooo right to complain that musk is supporting a facist agenda.
He is. I'm not denying that. I'm just saying twitter users have no right to complain about it, because they enable it.

He's act kinda resembles a guy who would have had a burnout, but keeps going with amphetamine. Not sleeping at nights, unable to concentrate, arbitrary snap decisions, slowly loosing sanity, illusions of grandeur, common ideological ground with Trump, etc. Decade of that and he'll be Trump.
Oh shit it hadn't occurred to me that the logical end state for Elon is running for president
Born outside the USA, so Elon can't run for president.
His goal is but another amendment away.
Not yet, but he's already eyeing a role in government. Wouldn't surprise me if he eventually manipulated Trump into creating a special class of immigrant citizens who receive naturalization because of "service to the nation" granted by the president or some such.
Wasn't he on some sort of advisory committee during Trump's first term? My memory is that they disbanded basically because it was a waste of time, for obvious reasons. Let me search...

I bet he really thinks "i am not one of those that want power, i have and always had power".
He sees himself on a much much higher level of existence, than we mere lemmings...
At least, that's my impression.
