But his fanboys are awful. Perfect storm of tech bros, lesswrong types, and libertarians.

You're telling me, this was a post from another forum from one of his fan boys

quote:

Forget twitter and all that fluff. I readily admit I've drank the cool-aid. (Tesla share holder :-) ) The guy is a one of a kind with a unique combination of rare abilities that make him different to anyone of note before. He's not perfect, in fact as someone who works with children with ASD, I see he has certain mild traits, which might explain some of the recent twitter idiocy.
Regardless, people who work with him say he has perfect recall, of everything he has ever learnt which along with his exceptionally high IQ gives him the ability to master multiple areas quickly, where a "normal" genius might only master one in a life time.

I remember reading an interview (forget the name) of the worlds leading rocket scientist. Musk came to him as he wanted him to teach hime about rocketry. The scientist gave him a big list of rocket science books to read first, thinking that would be that. Musk came back to him a 2 weeks later. He had not only read them all, but also had complete understanding of them, and perfect recall of every aspect of every book. This scientist then imparted his extra knowledge onto Musk, he finished the interview by saying that he was no longer the worlds leading rocket scientist, Musk now is.

Musk is going to go down as the most influential guy in history excluding religion. For 3 reasons, 2 obvious one less so.

1. Making life multi-planetary. If that works out as hoped, then that will be as big an event as multi-cellular life, life moving onto land and life becoming intelligent.

2. Electric cars, solar and storage are at the very beginnings of their exponential growth. The world will transition far quicker than most realize, not so much due to political pressure, but become of the economics and convenience. I'm far more bullish regarding climate change than I used to be.

3. Huge geo-political change. As battery+solar+BEV becomes ubiquitous, regimes that rely upon natural resources (Russia, Middle East etc but not China) will have to change and far quicker than they realise, probably too quick to avoid a complete shattering of their status quo to something else.

Just curious: why did Pod Save America's fan base survive so many rounds? I'm not sure I follow why they seem to be so hated, and I would've thought that Chapo fans would be worse.

Yeah I'm gonna second the "Where's Star Wars / bronies?" Those seem like two glaring omissions, but eh.

1. Rick and Morty is definitely most toxic.
2. Elon Musk's Tesla is an absolute abomination from an engineering standpoint. I'd have to find the tweet thread by the former engineer, but among other things they had a certificate issue that would have literally bricked every customer car and they had to write an emergency program to patch them all at once. That, and it's contributing heavily to the trend of turning cars into mobile phones that have to be patched on a regular basis, except if you ignore your updates or happen to live somewhere with poor reception it can kill you

Because they're terrible centrists who love decorum and think good things are unrealistic.

The Chapo guys were pretty unhappy about getting knocked out so early.

Elon musk is a pedo and financial cheater, with a poo poo car.

It isn't the thing that is winning, it's the fanbase.

Pewdiepie's fans are gamers who are pretty cool with a guy screaming racial slurs and making rape jokes.

Rick and Morty fans are obnoxious nerds who can't stop repeating memes and think they're smarter than other people

Big Bang Theory fans are boring wasps who won't shut up about how funny the autistic man is

Elon Musk fans are silicon valley libertarians, or silicon valley libertarian wannabes.

I was making an offensive and hyperbolic description of each, based on my tangential at best knowledge. I don't really use social media so dunno what the fanbase is like, on those platforms.

The Rick and Morty fanbase is almost certainly a concentric circle with the Elon Musk's fanbase, but the other two don't really overlap with that. PewDiePie fans are mostly tweens/early teens, and Big Bang Theory is most popular with baby boomers who probably don't even know who Rick and Morty or PewDiePie are.

I think that at this point the amount of people passionate about big bang theory is significantly smaller than the people that like to dunk on big bang theory fans. Elon musk should definitely win this.

Pewds might lose to Rick and Morty due to being out of the spotlight for too long, but he's a guaranteed third place.

also this kid is good enough to absolve at least 50% of PewDiePie fans all by himself:
