I guess if you’re a dumb poo poo with no actual ideas it’s a great idea to tweet one liner nonsense and just let your stans read into it however they want, but I’m not sure Elon has that kind of self awareness.

It’s been real funny watching Elon think he can thread the needle of keeping the chuds and his advertisers happy and just keep walking into rakes though.

Was about to write a post about how you'd think one of the benefits of being a billionaire is that you can easily just ignore people and there's never any onus on you to answer them, but then I remembered Elon's primary character flaw of needing to be loved.

If you are desperate for easy affection, chuds are sensible target because you only have to learn one joke and they'll never require you to improve as a person. In fact judging from the reaction people had to the iDubbbz apology they'll actively resent you for it if you do.

How long till being rightly called a "pedo" to them is same as being called a racist. I guess now? Im sure theres alot of guys on twitter right now who do nothing but tweet very strong opinions on the subject

Well see they aren’t pedophiles because they want to conceive as many children as possible with children because that is just biology. Also the term isn’t pedos, it’s ephebos

Yeah throw your advertisers under the bus by implying it was their decision to have Twitter flag the video, I’m sure that’ll bring them back.

It's not even needing to be loved, it's wanting to be loved by all for his posting skills. Which is kind of impossible because I feel like the more you want that the harder it is to get it.

Elon Musk is obsessed with a very specific pop culture image. The idea of a witty, know-it-all nerd who's a bit of an rear end in a top hat sometimes but is always right, and is funny even when he's being a bit of a dick. His power fantasy isn't just having people respect him, or love him - he wants to be a mix of Bender, Stewie, and Sheldon off of Big Bang Theory. He wants to be what idiots thought Rick Sanchez was. A normal person fantasizes about people laughing at their jokes and going 'good one,' Elon fantasizes about tearing something down, seeing things other people don't see, and pointing it out in a way that makes people laugh as they realize the truth.

That's why he's always posting 'interesting' or 'eyes emoji.' That's why he's obsessed with going one way when everyone around him expects him to go another and when he's told him he's going that way. This is a grown man who's greatest fantasy in life is being the snarky guy on a 1990s internet forum. He's like a guy that would have tried to post in FYAD and gotten made fun of.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

That 2 Fast video works perfectly for me but usually Twitter videos are hosed up in the Awful app on mobile. Like, just short 2 minute videos hang for me.

I work with a guy like this and in the last few months he's managed to piss of everyone on my team, everyone in HR, everyone in IT and is now working on pissing off the C-suite, which I'm sure is going to go well for him.
