Ever since I saw this photo I couldn’t take the dude seriously.

The utter irony

[–] Mummelpuffin 44 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know he's said a lot of idiotic shit lately but... seriously? He actually said this? Jesus Christ. He truly has reverted into a lonely 4Chan teen.

[–] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

All billionaires are like this when you take away the PR.

[–] Yearly1845@reddthat.com 36 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Man I hope I never end up super rich or famous because I was a loser in my youth and I don't want anyone digging that shit up lol

[–] curiosityLynx 11 points 1 year ago

You'd be just fine if you remain a decent human being rather than becoming an egotistical and racist pile of garbage.

Also, Musk was born rich and basically bought his fame.

[–] Computerchairgeneral@kbin.social 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Every time I think Musk has written his stupidest Tweet he goes and proves me wrong. It's honestly impressive.

[–] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 25 points 1 year ago

It was funny for a while, but I'd really like him to hit rock bottom. The guy has a lot of power, and this is really kinda worrying me now.

[–] WallEx@feddit.de 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This meme makes a good point, he's so fucking cringe.

[–] chooglers@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm starting to think this musk character is dare I say it, a wanker

[–] WallEx@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

I'm positive

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 26 points 1 year ago

Skilled with a katana due to extensive training in mother's basement

[–] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 23 points 1 year ago

Do we... do we call him Emon now?

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe 22 points 1 year ago (4 children)

What the hell happened to that man?

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 37 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Daddy didn't give affection, and the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear.

[–] jackpot@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There was a song from Pearl Jam called Jeremy that had this line:

Daddy didn't give affection, no
And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked
Oh, ruled his world

What they meant is that the mother neglected him because she didn't want to be seen in public with him.

[–] Nomad@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago

I interpret this more like she neglected him bc she was only interested in dressing up.

[–] Zoop 4 points 1 year ago

I think you're right. Let's hope he doesn't speak in class today.

[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 17 points 1 year ago

My theory is too much blow and huffing his own farts to the point where his brain has turned to mush.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Nothing. He was a scammer and an idiot who got lucky, and that is what he still is, only with more money.

He was fired for incompetence before, let that sink in

[–] thestereobus@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Autism trauma is my guess.

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] thestereobus@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah. I mean, as an autistic man I can put myself in his shoes. People don’t really accept you and you always seem to say the wrong things or the right things at the wrong times. You want to be liked and accepted, so you accumulate wealth to try to have social standing and influence. But even as the richest man you still can’t really find your footing socially. It’s sad and I feel for the guy on some level.

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

🤔 Perhaps he needs people he can relate to and who understand he's autistic and so not to take any of his faux pas personally.

[–] thestereobus@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

This is the challenge

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm still waiting for Elmo Vs Zuck.

[–] curiosityLynx 3 points 1 year ago

Elmo already suffered enough with his mind of a child and getting bullied and gaslit by his "friends", he doesn't deserve having his name sullied by having it used to refer to Musk.

Elin back out because mommy said so.

[–] RuikkaaPrus@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bro, he literally transformed a company and social app in his personal edgy microblog called X

[–] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

He technically was forced to buy it. He first wanted to buy it but then he didn't want it anymore after he saw how many bots there are instead of actual users afaik. There was no return in this dealership or smth.

[–] RuikkaaPrus@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're right about this. Musk has two options: Pay a lot of money and receive nothing, or Pay and Buy Twitter

But now we have X, that sounds "lfmao coolest name of all history 😱🤟🔥" in the head of Musk I guess

Musk is not a bad guy, but his decisions were funny in many cases

[–] Mrderisant@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

No one accumulates that kind of money without being a bad guy

[–] rotopenguin@infosec.pub 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The main difference is that this one has the money to do a much bigger Columbine.

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one 10 points 1 year ago

Plus, he's got massive influence on his fanboys who worship his every move

[–] ohitsbreadley@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

He really would have done well as the lead in a fictional Michael Jackson biopic that's an alternate retelling of how his life took a turn in the mid/late 90s, when he discovers that he's actually in the Matrix and is the one. And instead of Annie, we're asking "Neo, are you okay? Are you o.k. ne-o? -- Sha-mona"

[–] Zoop 5 points 1 year ago

I like the way your brain works.

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago

Man that would be a psychological thriller!

[–] Nyla_Smokeyface 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is genuinely terrifying

[–] MayonnaiseArch 7 points 1 year ago

Kind of, but if he's good at columbining as he is at everything else he'll cut off his own legs with his 700k tactical katana

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It reads like what Trump said about locking up his rivals

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago

Empty words from the mouth of a frightened little rat.

[–] ZILtoid1991@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where's his transphobia-ridden manifesto?

[–] FoundTheVegan@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The prounons made me do it.

[–] Jorgelino@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

No, your honor, it wasn't me who did it! It was I.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Apparently some random African and Asian child slaves are also his enemies.

[–] Lolman228@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm actually trembling. I think I peed myself.

[–] bingbong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

One more diaper added to the graveyard 😈
