dr_rat posted:And I shall take that money than fake my own death! With 43 billion dollars, you can execute the most elaborate and wacky of Victorian-age pranks, complete with period dress, and steamworks-grade materials. Dirigibles, penny-farthings, sepia-toned glass print photos, just living the life of an eccentric, in almost anywhere in the world. You could do funny things and make people laugh at the funny thing you did. You could do serious things, and have people take you seriously. You could fake your death hundreds of times, turn it into a quarterly event. People would line up around the block to be the next "dr_rat's daring defiance of death," just giving away their post-mortem existence for the chance at being the cadaver used for "shot out of a circus cannon and into a pool of wet cement 40 stories below" or "underwater mine defuser gone wrong" or "faceplanted onto the moon in a cowboy outfit." There's no end to spending billions just goofing off and loving around without becoming a laughingstock or completely disconnected from reality. And yet people with that kind of money somehow always end up a laughingstock and disconnected from reality.

If I had Elon money I would hire Robert Patrick for a weekend. I'd run through malls and poo poo and have him follow me at a steady pace holding out my photo and asking people "have you seen this boy". I've thought about this a lot.

Ghostlight posted:it wasn't just that it looked like him - in japanese the abra series is named after famous magicians and kadabra's name is literally uri geller's name with one character changed, additionally as his legal compliant pointed out, it bends spoons with its mind which he is associated with, and he took umbrage with the fact that it has a star on its forehead and squiggly lines on its stomach which he interpreted as a reference to him being isreali and the schutzstaffel respectively. But he's not above bragging about hanging out in NASA fridges with Werner von Braun when it suits him, as seen in his own tweet.

There's something grossly and genuinely wrong about watching a grown man with far too much wealth and power to ever get a genuine comeuppance, delivering a bragging replay of his own childish behaviour to his online friends with the sweaty, obvious dishonesty of a nasty little boy of 11 or 12 relaying to the other boys how he totally owned some rival in the playground. Cringe is too small a word.

rowkey bilbao posted:He's never gonna get punched in the face by zuck and I really hate it. He also thought he wasn't going to have to buy Twitter and here we are. He's just another stupid dipshit who doesn't know how to leave things alone who thinks his series of small Ls total out to an overall W. He's going to get a false sense of confidence, make himself be "accidentally" in the same place as Zuck, try to start some poo poo publicly to his face, put his hands on Zuck, and then Zuck will proceed to smash his fat loving face in. Like Twitter, he never learned to recognize when he should shut the gently caress up because all he's doing is forcing people's hand.

Elon is an emperor has no clothes when it comes to money. People say he's ultra rich when in fact he needs to keep taking loans non-stop just to pay his bodyguards.

Mistle posted:There's no end to spending billions just goofing off and loving around without becoming a laughingstock or completely disconnected from reality. And yet people with that kind of money somehow always end up a laughingstock and disconnected from reality. That's because they don't own that money, the relationship is the other way around. You get that kind of capital by playing under capital's rules, and those rules say that if you don't use your capital to invest, grow, and compete, you will be out-invested, out-grown, and out-competed. The only way, absolutely the only way, you can get billionaires to spend their money on a non-business ventures is if you can somehow dress them up as business ventures. Even when Musk makes an oopsie trips into spending 44 billion dollars on what is clearly a pet project, he has to pretend, to the world and even to himself, that it's a business decision: if he can just get rid of the woke devs and unleash the power of the marketplace of ideas, twitter can be worth ten times as much as it was, if he can just make X an "everything app" it can be worth ten times as much as it did. He cannot admit to it being a vanity project. He cannot just say "yeah I have the money to burn to sustain this indefinitely and I will do it because I feel like it". It has to be an investment.

Every goddamn time I see something he posts, I make the  face trying to wrap my brain around his stupidity and ignorance. Despite being so rich, Elon Musk will forever be a gormless narcissistic moron. He's so desperate for attention and I want it to backfire sooner than later.

However, once a year, I would get loving hedonistic. I mean like a totally shameless orgy of drugs, alcohol and consensual sex for 24 hours straight. The kind of mansion-wide party that would make the Romans step back and say "Holy poo poo, take it down a notch  "

Well it’s Monday and some opium would take the edge off, and a blowjob, and so on. I think stopping would be the real problem.

Yes, the lovely tunnels that allow for one car at a time (and a specific type of car at that) will make the traffic troubles go all away. This kind of nonsense almost gets me mad. It's people falling all over themselves to hype up a system that not only is way less efficient than public transit, but somehow manages to be worse than regular driving.
