Time Magazine a defunct magazine that is now the hobby of a billionaire, it's so weird that people actually treat this as a thing more significant than Valpak announcing their coupon of the year award or whatever.

To be more specific, if he did not exist, that money would have flowed upward into what he is the head of, except into various boards, ceo's distributed corporate structures etc. Yes, unionize immediately. I entirely agree. I'm not arguing this. This particular man is not the great satan because he capitalized on a system that was flawed to start with.

It's probably as simple as people getting it thrown in their face and reacting to it. Like I'm pretty sure Trump was man of the year one year and oh boy people sure got wound up about that guy.

I'm certain that if you had unlimited wealth you would live in sackcloth and simply feed dogs while living from a large wine vessel telling Alexander to stand out of the sun. You're very magnanimous.

You're very magnanimous. you're so worried that people are going to yell at you for tooting around in a space ship which i don't believe is the case. I think most reasonable people just don't want you to be super annoying about tooting around in your space ship, and it's absolutely perplexing why this frightens you so much.

Lotta nerd rage ITT but no surprise really with an announcement like this. Whatever boneheaded moves Musk makes, he’s still accomplished more than your average schmuck (hell yes myself included) and his “societal influence” is pretty much limited to a new strain of Trumpish Teflon Tweeting, when stepping in it big time (like calling the cave rescuer a paedophile over Twitter) doesn’t actually lead to any ramifications for the guy, no matter what he says, aside from boos from the online peanut gallery. He MIGHT be a modern-era Howard Hughes but no one doing long-term forecasting of our species is ever going to compare him to Da Vinci or Ghandi or MLK. (Or Edison.) He’s not an icon, he’s a nerdy newsmaker who takes existing concepts and refines them, and he does a lot of it while also pushing various envelopes to varying levels of success. But he’s done big stuff with his life and those who rage most about him aren’t exactly hiding their jealousy.Yaldabaoth posted:when the poor decide to just burn everything to the ground because they're going to die either way. Just gotta LOL if anyone actually believes “the poor” aren’t perfectly capable of being their own worst enemies sometimes. It’s not always rotten circumstances and lack of resources. Tribalism, turf wars, Trump 2016…”temporarily embarrassed millionaires”, anyone? Let’s not absolve or scapegoat the elites when the salts blunder their own way into misery and making their lovely lives worse.

I'm still amused he decided that was the hair cut for him, the neo-Nazi cut that removes the only natural hair he had left on his head. Reminds me of when Jordan had the Hitler 'stache for like a month or so. kdrudy fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Dec 13, 2021 |

I like the fact that BBC decided the reason no one likes the guy is because he bought a rocket and electric car company and not that he's an abusive, narcissistic rear end in a top hat of an employer that uses his fanatical followers as Grunt labor working in horrendously bad conditions, tried to make a tragedy involving kids that someone gave their life to save all about him, and literally paid off the founders of a company for the ability to use the title. But yes, the real reason is he owns a rocket company. You got it.

the occasions when Time picks some controversial person as person of the year are literally the only times its relevant these days and thats been the case for quite a while like i seriously cannot think of any other context in which it comes up. i never see anyone talking about articles in time magazine or any major stories being broken there. it's literally every few years a replay of the same "wow they picked this rear end in a top hat how could they!" "actually it doesn't mean good or bad they've picked hitler and stalin" conversation and that seems to be the entire reason the magazine exists now maybe its time to stop treating their "person of the year" pick like a news item?
