So right winger PUA's are now siding with Tate thinking the loving Romanian government framed him because they were intimidated by his broadcasted masculinity?

Or is this just another event of 'left hates this guy so now I support him'

do remember that right wingers approve of violence towards women so it's less that they think he's being setup and more that they think he's done nothing wrong in raping and kidnapping.

Yeah we can't expect a regressive anti-woman shithole with the death penalty to do anything about it, which is why I would be hesitant to see him extradited to the United States.

The best part about this is that it's a widely accepted belief on certain boards on 4chan and in incel communities, continuing to prove that Elon is definitely a 4chan reader but still hasn't learned how to post. The guy seems stuck in a weird late-2000s-era internet community transition, still unable to understand how the modern social scene works online.

The NPC "theory" is generally dominated by two separate forks of belief, depending on the person who picks it up:

1. Anti-social introverts who are so out of touch with human relationships and reality that they no longer see other people as unique personalities with free will, and instead see them as zombies controlled by the media/sex/women/wokeness/biology/etc., meaning other humans are useless cattle that don't matter. In their minds, you're an NPC for getting into a relationship or following any sort of biological pressure, with the exception of sleeping, eating, toilet, and so on. If you follow any sort of basic societal activities like getting an education, job, enjoying sports and hobbies, you're an NPC. Basically, if you're not a depressed incel NEET, you're a loser because you haven't figured out that life is hell, which is the only true way to live and see the world.

2. Anti-social versions of the "we're all living in a simulation" belief (which Elon has publicly expressed belief in dozens of times), who think that they are the only ones who are factually alive and real in the simulation, and everyone else is just a computer program made to antagonize the believer. Being the main character, they are trying to figure out the cheat codes to open up the rest of the simulation. They don't really have an explanation for how they can discuss this topic with others and philosophize about it while assuming they are the only true living being in the universe and everyone they talk to is equivalent to a spam email. This belief can often pair with "reality creation" beliefs (the cheat codes), and I have always been under the impression that Elon really does see himself as the main character of world who is trying his hardest to create the reality he believes in. This belief system would be used as a mental crutch to allow his constant lying and exaggeration, since part of reality creation is acting as if something is true should lead to it actually happening or the universe making it happen.

Both types of believer see other human beings as insignificant and not worth caring about. The NPC belief removes empathy and compassion for others because technically they aren't real or living in a way intended by the believer. Though I'm too lazy to search for evidence, I don't doubt that the NPC assumption has led to mass-murders/shootings over the years.

It's just a dressing up of bog standard solipsism, a belief associated with little kids (I believed it for a few days when I was 4!) and stunted adults.

Elon Musk’s whirlwind first week at Twitter: 8,304 miles by private jet

By Hamza Shaban
November 4, 2022 at 6:49 p.m. EDT

Flight data shows the $70 million Gulfstream jet crisscrossing the country as Musk bounced around from meetings to parties.

Flight 1: Hawthorne, Ca. to San Jose
Flight 2: San Jose to Hawthorne, Ca.
Flight 3: Hawthorne, Ca. to Teterboro, N.J.
Flight 4: Teterboro, N.J. to Chantilly, Va.
Flight 5: Chantilly, Va. to San Francisco
Flight 6: San Francisco to San Jose
Flight 7: San Jose to Teterboro, N.J.

In his first week atop Twitter, Elon Musk has gotten around: preparing the massive layoffs that started late Thursday, meeting with civil rights groups and advertisers, attending a Space Force event and Heidi Klum’s Halloween bash. His manic schedule is illustrated by the 8,304 miles his private jet logged in that time, hopscotching from coast to coast.

I edited my post a few back about tracking his plane with an article I found on WaPo.... seems he was at Heidi Klum’s do that weekend.... of course it's possible he went to both. Hers was on the 31st in New York, Tate's was on the weekend (the Saturday was the 29th of October).

There's also this in Vice....
https://www.vice.com/en/article/xgymaj/an-alleged-billionaire-halloween-party-at-draculas-castle-sent-romania-into-a-frenzy

quote:

While we know celebrities were in Romania given the paparazzi evidence, there doesn't seem to be much backing up most of the specific claims about who attended, however. There are videos of helicopters arriving, darkly tinted luxury cars and vans pulling up, and groups of lanky pale-skinned people huddled around them. Hallmarks of the rich and powerful, sure, but relatively little in the way of identification.

Thiel and his husband and co-investor, Matt Danzeisen, are the only ones actually photographed by tabloids in Romania. MediaFlux published pictures of the pair entering Mercedes vehicles allegedly at Henri Coandă International Airport. The outlet later posted photos reportedly showing the two entering a helicopter headed for Bran, although only Danzeisen can clearly be seen. Another outlet posted grainy paparazzi photos that it said depicted Entourage star Adrien Grenier boarding a similar helicopter.
...and we know musky and thiel are connected so :shrug:

edit: Unfortuanately the WaPo article didn't have dates for when he arrived in NJ.

"Romanian media outlet Media Flux reports that Musk rented the entire castle for himself and his friends to enjoy, with guests rumoured to be in attendance including PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, Google’s co-founders Sergei Brin and Larry Page and Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie.

Elsewhere, Swedish actress Julia Sanstrom was also rumoured to be present, after she shared stories of herself in Transylvania, and dressed as a vampire on her Instagram.

Other Romanian media outlets reported that Dracula’s Girls, a well-known cheerleader group from Târgoviște will also be present, but full details, and what happened, are not yet revealed."
