President Elon Musk

He probably deserves his own thread at this point, discuss accordingly

My point is if Elon doesn’t know this stuff it’s really weird for him to care enough to pretend. Like if he cared enough about people thinking he’s a genius to pay mathematicians or physicists to add him as a coauthor on papers, I’d expect him to at least read and be able to regurgitate the abstract of the paper he supposedly coauthored. Because if you’re so uninterested you can’t do that, why bother even trying to fake it?

Because his sad cult of dickriders will apologize for him no matter how outlandish his claims. There's no incentive for him to try to make his lies convincing anymore.

Because he knew about diablo , that wasn't fake.

He just thought PoE would be very similar to that, it's like someone who is actually good at say trading bonds going into equity options and making a disaster because he has no clue about options but he thought "well it's just trading".

He enjoyed the popularity of his diablo escapades and thought why not, let's do it again with this diablo clone. Except it wasn't a diablo clone.

This is more about arrogance and being and attention whore than about being "desperate at being liked". The latter isn't very credible especially when it's about someone who makes a lot of people very angry very often with his claims on political stuff, and he does that on purpose.

See this is why we know you are not serious.

Just a few days ago his "sad cult of dickriders" went to war against him because they are far more racist than him (who isn't racist) and wanted a ban to H1B visas and whatnot, and this was talked about in this very thread as well.

But nope, nada, you can't admit there is heavy debate and no humble acceptance of whatever Musk says within the right, you have to paint the objectively false picture of people being zombies waiting for orders on the right.

When that's actually what routinely happens on the left instead, when orders come to change language for example all leftists comply.

The right is what the left was many decades ago, a big very diverse tent with very different priorities, and while almost everyone on the right is thankful to Musk for basically having allowed this election to go how it went, they didn't give him a blank check AT ALL.

Well coordi Musk was in bed with actual democrats for longer that he has been in bed with republicans so even if the "both sides" thing is usually overblown, in this particular case it is absolutely appropriate.

You are right Musk can be problematic, that's true of everyone who was very friendly with democrats and schemed with them for long times. True for Trump as well.

Can't cancel history though, both Musk and Trump have been democrats, and staunch allies of democrats leaders, for longer than t

None of this means diddly squat

Musk and Trump were your guys before, own it.

My friend was a liberal until he had a traumatic brain injury and now he hoards guns and talks about other races like you

I guess he was "my guy" (whatever that means) but now he has literal brain damage that has stunted his ability to think critically

When the best argument for your camp is to have racist diversity.

Again, strange that someone who cares enough to fake it doesn’t know that.


Really disturbing if true (Elon faking his gaming accolades). Need more evidence itt but yeah I'm not too plussed about this.


by biggerboat k

Yeah, I wonder too. I feel like in the past there was some sort of baseline of truth out there. The right and left fought, but everything they fought about was sort of agreed upon. Now with the maga twitterverse they take a stand that has no basis in reality. So, they pick a guy that tells them it's just fine to do this.

I dunno where we're going but it isn't looking good right now. Maybe the magaverse runs out of other people to blame for every little thing. Doubtful.

My bigger concern is that the Overton window has moved so much that even post-MAGA, that baseline is gone. But often things look worse than they are when you're living in the moment, so hopefully this will end up being just a moment in time.

Yeah, between this and already rolling back his big "DOGE" numbers, the only explanation that makes sense to me is that his sycophant army has empowered him to let his inner 16 year old self come out and he just spews whatever braggadocio/trash talk he feels like saying - probably couldn't do that as a nerdy 16 year old, so he's getting his chance now.



You’ve done it again, Leon


cross post, great video breaking down the video games fraud


LOL Elon.


Wtf is with these guys. Kim jung un, trump, elon. Rich and powerful as can be but still have to make up ridiculous **** to yry to make themselves look better.


by far the best part of the elon video game fraud video is viewing the live stream twitch chat where his live audience absolutely roasts him because they can see the fraud as it happens live and he just ignores it and continues along

elon derangement syndrome level "super Saiyan" for you to put him on a list with Kim Jung un but I mean, you guys lost all intellectual dignity a long while ago anyway so you do you


You mean grifters lie and deceive people? Shocker...

That is how they think .
At least today we see with the help of constant attention from social media’s , how they think .
Just wish their cultist could actually extrapolate to see how they probably think about them since they lied already with trivial lies

But since their followers think they are themselves special , I guess they can’t possibly think musk & Co lies so much about them …

Binary thinking much ?
Being thirsty of power doesn’t necessarily means you are a literal copy of Kim jung un .
But knowing your great analyzing skills ….

The funny think is how you discard vehemently when being called fascist because we see many traits of fascism in you and yet you see only on trait of anything in people you are quick to assimilate then leftish , dictator etc ….

Double standard as usual hey …


‘Elon derangement syndrome’

What a gotcha!


That's lame, but it doesn't shock me. There aren't many actual free speech absolutists, and I certainly don't take Zuckerbergs' recent change of heart at face value either.

A trump cultist lecturing on intellectual dignity. Nice.

Granted elon is a lot smarter than the other 2 put together, but no less the narcissist.


luciom is many things but he's very negative on a lot of trump stuff

i think he just supports him as the lesser of two evils rather than actually liking him

Agreed.

And to be clear, I don't think the flaw is that he's not a free speech absolutist, it's that he made the ridiculous claim that he would be one. None of the social media platforms are, they don't need to be, and they shouldn't be. And to take your statement a little further, we shouldn't believe *any* social media platform that says they will be. You have social media ownership/management with their own biases and motivations to steer things a certain way, and even those with no bias or desire to censor things in the beginning, they won't end up being free speech absolutists. Even if they were to manage being 100% politically neutral, people will push the envelope to a point where they are forced to act. It's an unacheivable goal in the long term.
