Just a great guy doing great things.
Rock stars doing this stuff somewhat makes sense, it's all in good fun, and who hasn't had a crush on some celebrity singer or actor?
but a CEO? Seriously?
Elon's gunna be so fuckin' jealous when he sees this.
And this CEO?
I mean, seems like that's what the person wanted, no?
Sure, but as the CEO of one of the most valuable companies in the world, shouldn't he think about how bad the optics of this are?
literally the coolest thing he's done
should sign more tits instead of begging people to stop complaining about AI, maybe stonk price would go up more
Closest this guy has ever felt to being a rockstar
Celebrating nvidias big investment in Israel didnt help either. Daily killing of innocents continues while he ships pallets of money over. He's not unique in tech CEOs being arseholes, but he's definitely another trash human being. The world would instantly be a better place without most tech CEOs.
eh, from a pragmatic business perspective...i see why they all bend the knee. capitalists are by their nature universal opportunists. they will show loyalty to israel up until the moment it looks like they don't have control over the US's collar, the moment that happens though they do a 180.
same way so many "pro-lgbtq" businesses flipped to anti-dei narrative the second it looked more profitable.the only thing sacred under capitalism is your line going up, everything that doesn't directly service that goal day-to-day is performative
Yeah. Pretty fair analysis even though I dont enjoy that conclusion. I thought even capitalism was better than that. I would love to go back to my ignorant beliefs in the good of the common man again. And the basic instinct toward good of my fellow Americans. But you cant go backwards in life.
This feels like similar energy to getting outraged about a tan suit.
Were all involved parties consenting? That's the only thing that matters.
Plus on the optics side, we've yet to see if being in the Epstein files is bad enough optics for CEOs, so I think "signed something on an adult woman's boobs when she most likely specifically requested/offered it" is entirely a non-issue.
Good luck with your morals. Glad you're fine with billionaires flexing societal norms. Go sign them boobs in public.
Puritanical bs has nothing to do with morals, as much as some like to pretend it does. What harm are you trying to call out or prevent?
He jealous of tiddy writers
That's the closest I've been able to think about for why people turn to puritanical values in the first place: jealousy that others can do fun things they think they can't, plus maybe a second layer of being upset that some aren't also upset about it.
Oh wait, I almost forgot about the control angle, where if you can convince enough people that some normal and ok aspect about humanity is actually wrong, then you can catch people "slipping" and manipulate them via guilt or blackmail.
I know the meme is older than I am, but I'm clearly not going to win an argument on the Internet Enjoy your ambivalence.
Hm gotta be honest, I don't give a shit about optics, especially since that asshole is plenty bad regardless.
This guy has kids right? I would be so embarrassed
