I noticed that there seems to be some confusion in this thread about the topic of discussion. I just wanted to clarify that this thread is actually about Elon Musk, and not Harry Bolz.

While both individuals are certainly interesting in their own right, the purpose of this forum is to share thoughts and opinions about Elon Musk, his companies, and his impact on the world.

So, if you have any thoughts or insights to share about Elon Musk, please feel free to contribute to the discussion. Let's keep the focus on the topic at hand and continue to explore the many facets of this fascinating entrepreneur.

There is no definitive answer to why Elon Musk might want to use that as a pseudonym on Twitter, but some possible reasons are:
  • He might want to have some fun or make a joke with his followers.
  • He might want to create some mystery or intrigue about his upcoming projects or collaborations.
  • He might want to prank people.
  • He might want to pay homage to a crypto pioneer or a Bitcoin creator who also used pseudonyms.

In any case, Elon Musk has not given any official explanation for his name change or his tweet about impersonation, so we can only speculate about his motives.

Harry Bōlz is another name for Elon Musk, at least on Twitter. He changed his Twitter name to Harry Bōlz on April 10, 2023, without giving any explanation or reason for it. Some people think it might be a joke, a prank, a pun, or a reference to something, but no one knows for sure what it means or why he did it. It is one of his many puzzling and perplexing moves on social media that often leave his fans and followers scratching their heads.

I don’t know what Harry Bōlz means. It could be a random name that Elon Musk chose for no particular reason. It could be a play on words that sounds like something else. It could be a reference to a person, a character, a project, or a concept that he is interested in or involved with. It could be a code or a signal that he is trying to communicate something to someone. It could be anything or nothing at all.

I think it might sound like something else, depending on how you pronounce it or spell it. For example, it might sound like “hairy balls” or “harry balls”, which could be a crude or vulgar joke. It might also sound like “haribo”, which is a brand of gummy candies, or “hariboos”, which is a vulgar term for breasts. It might also sound like “haribol”, which is a Hindu greeting meaning “glory to God”. It might also sound like something else that I don’t know.

elon musk is funny and everyone in this thread is jealous of that fact maybe some of you should try running multiple billion dollar companies before you start criticizing him

Some possible reasons why his pranks are not funny are:
  • They are too obscure or cryptic for most people to understand or appreciate.
  • They are too childish or immature for his position and influence as a business leader and innovator.
  • They are too insensitive or irresponsible for the serious issues or topics he is involved in or commenting on.
  • They are too repetitive or predictable for his followers and the public who expect more originality and creativity from him.
In this context, his pranks are not funny because they lack wit, charm, or relevance.

I would say that he is not funny for the same reasons that his pranks are not funny, plus some more:
  • He is not funny because he often makes jokes or comments that are offensive, controversial, or misleading to some people or groups.
  • He is not funny because he sometimes uses humor as a way to avoid responsibility or accountability for his actions or words.
  • He is not funny because he rarely shows empathy or compassion for others who are suffering or struggling.
  • He is not funny because he seems to take himself too seriously or too lightly, depending on the situation.
In this context, he is not funny because he is arrogant, insensitive, dishonest, or out of touch.

While I can understand why some may feel that his pranks lack relevance or originality, I would argue that these reasons are not necessarily why his pranks are not funny.

Firstly, humor is subjective, and what one person finds funny, another may not. Therefore, it is unfair to generalize that his pranks are not funny simply because they do not appeal to everyone.

Secondly, the fact that his pranks may be obscure or cryptic can actually add to their humor for those who do understand them. It can create a sense of exclusivity or inside joke for those who are "in on it."

Furthermore, just because he is a business leader and innovator does not mean that he cannot engage in childlike humor. In fact, it can be seen as a refreshing break from the seriousness of his job.

Lastly, his repetitive or predictable pranks may actually serve as a branding tool, as it creates a consistent image for him and his company.

While I do acknowledge that some of the additional reasons listed for why he is not funny may have some merit, it is important to separate his sense of humor from his personality traits. It is possible for someone to be funny but also lack empathy or show arrogance.

Overall, I believe that the reasons given for why his pranks are not funny are not necessarily accurate or fair, and that humor is a personal preference that cannot be generalized.

Elon Musk Is Not Funny And Here's Why

Elon Musk is a billionaire who thinks he's a comedian. He likes to make jokes on Twitter, on podcasts, and even on Saturday Night Live. But his jokes are not funny. They are cringey, lame, and sometimes offensive. Here are some reasons why Elon Musk is not funny and why you should stop laughing at his attempts at humor.

## He's Out Of Touch With Reality

Elon Musk lives in a bubble of wealth and privilege that makes him oblivious to the struggles of ordinary people. He thinks he can solve any problem with his money, his rockets, or his brain implants. He doesn't care about the environmental impact of his businesses, the labor rights of his workers, or the ethical implications of his projects. He just wants to be seen as a visionary and a genius. But he's not. He's a clueless and arrogant jerk who doesn't understand how the world works. He makes jokes about things that are not funny, like nuking Mars, colonizing other planets, or overthrowing governments. He mocks people who criticize him or challenge him, like journalists, regulators, or whistleblowers. He acts like he's above the law and the rules of society.

He's not funny. He's delusional.

## He's Not Original Or Creative

Elon Musk likes to pretend that he's a master of innovation and creativity. He claims that he invented things like electric cars, reusable rockets, or hyperloops. He says that he has ideas for things like underground tunnels, solar roofs, or neural links. He boasts that he can do anything he sets his mind to. But he can't. He's a copycat and a fraud who steals ideas from others and passes them off as his own. He doesn't invent anything new or useful. He just repackages old concepts and adds some hype and marketing. He relies on other people's work and expertise to make his products and services work. He takes credit for things that he didn't do or contribute to.

He's not funny. He's boring.

## He's Not Humble Or Self-Aware

Elon Musk likes to think that he's a humble and self-aware person who can laugh at himself and his mistakes. He tries to act like he's one of us, a regular guy who likes memes, video games, and pop culture. He uses internet slang, references obscure jokes, and posts silly pictures. He makes fun of his own failures and flaws. But he doesn't. He's a narcissist and a sociopath who only cares about himself and his ego. He pretends to be relatable and down-to-earth, but he's actually aloof and detached. He uses humor as a weapon, a shield, or a distraction. He makes fun of others more than himself. He never admits his faults or apologizes for his actions.

He's not funny. He's pathetic.

## Conclusion

Elon Musk is not funny and you shouldn't laugh at his jokes. They are not clever, witty, or amusing. They are stupid, offensive, and annoying. They show how out of touch, unoriginal, and self-centered he is. They reveal how much he lacks empathy, integrity, and humility.

He's not a comedian. He's a clown.

And clowns are scary.

women were banned from performing in plays so all the female roles were performed by men in drag

well yeah afaik this is true to the point that its part of the etymology of the word "actress"

by the time they were actually allowed in the profession women were viewed as inferior to men so the term was derogatory. it's debatable whether or not it is now i guess, but i've been trying to use "actor" instead since any gender is only implicit from the existence of a possibly derisive feminine version

oh i'm fully aware of all that. the problem is that for some reason a majority of the small handful of dbz sites that happened to even have full episodes also seemed to have some kind of cap on their download speed for some stupid reason? like, i had a 33.6k connection at home ( :psyduck: ) but even the T3 connections at my school library barely did much better. by the time one episode would finish, lunch would already be over :argh:

and honestly, looking back it's kind of crazy to see how far we've come in terms of online media. hell, even youtube didn't have 480p videos until 2008!
