One wonders how a supervillain gets that way

Like at one time they must have been a normal kid, with normal hopes and dreams

Somewhere deep down, they must still believe they are just some guy

Musk had been told all his life by his mother that he is an exceptional genius who can do no wrong, he's been surrounded by servants and sycophants forever, and grew up in a country where the colour of his skin made him think he's superior to most of the population.

He's Never thought I'd himself as ordinary or the little guy

It's more like, you want to give the patient something to stimulate their immune system so you give them a medicine that causes the symptoms diluted and shaken millions of times.
This supposedly works because water has a memory that is activated by the shaking and so you get the effect on the immune system recorded in the water with no actual harmful effects....

The velociraptor isn't in Dinopark Tycoon, therefore it is not a real dinosaur. Case closed.

The velociraptor isn't a real dinosaur, they put it in the film as the smaller raptors didn't look scary enough.
Then the Utahraptor was discovered, which is about the same size as the made up one

Yeah, those are the little ones, the velociraptor in the movies is a Utahraptor before it was discovered

And I think the mission you get for her was murdering her boyfriend (or covering up the murder? I forget).

The character is Lizzy Wizzy - a singer who has had her entire body replaced with cybernetics and is descending into cyberpsychosis. She kills her manager and you're given the option of covering it up.

It's the most wooden, uninspiring performance I've ever witnessed in a video game, even taking into account she's meant to be mostly-robot.
I just walked away from the quest as I had better things to do in game than listen to painfully bad dialogue.

I'm curious where he got the idea that armies will "pretend to attack" to lull the enemy into a state of unreadiness for the real attack. I don't know much about war but that does not sound like a thing. There is feinting to distract the enemy from your intended target but that's not the same thing.

It's probably the Atomic attack on Hiroshima, where the USAF flew recon flights over the city daily so the people where used to being overflown.

It's funny to think we were all willing to give our payment details to Lowtax but we find Elon less trustworthy than him.

Someone like Lowtax could have faced consequences for misusing data.

It was around that time, but it was a bodyguard for his and Grimes' first kid getting paranoid and attacking a driver at a gas station miles away from his plane.

So if it's a 'genocide of the future' to limit (either by individuals making personal choices relating to conditions or top-down government policy to prevent shortages or social collapse) then Elon must be really keen on ideas and systems that ensure that all humans, however many of them there are, get at least a basic share of our world's resources, wealth and opportunities, right?

Because otherwise he's saying that he'd be quite happy for an unlimited number of people to be in the world, all living like those people in the slums of Delhi. Because equitable distribution of resources based on essential human rights is evil (communism!!!) and people not being born is evil (genocide of the future). Could it be - could it be - that Elon is in favour of a world where nearly everyone lives in immiserating poverty while serving a tiny class of rich, white South Africans?

Concerning. !! Wow!

There's a thing the rich subscribe to called "Effective Altruism" which, on the surface appears to be a way of spending money in the most effective way to do the most good.
But, dig a bit further and it includes all Future People as well.
So, investing in AI and Space and by coincidence giving a lot of money to tech-bros is the best, as it'll help the as-yet unborn trillions of humans to come. This also means that anything you do to actually help people here-and-now is a waste of resources.

why is he using an ai pic? it doesnt have his hair plugs hairline, his hosed up shaggy facial hair, his semi melty plastic surgery/probably drug/lovely diet face, the eyes/ stare doesnt look soulless/drugged out of his mind enough

It's the cover of his biography that Amazon have decided I should be interested in, so it'll already be photoshopped to hell and back but he thinks he can improve it on a phone

Isn't the 50 billion number misleading ?

I thought I read in one of these threads that he wanted 25% of the company so that the board couldn't get rid of / overrule him, and the shares in the package give him that.
