From what I can tell, Elon just doesn't speak to anyone who actually challenges him in any meaningful way. I had a chapter in my video that was just a laundry list of all the shit he's been wrong about, whether it was the number of cybertrucks Tesla projected to sell, putting a base on other planets/the moon, or putting a million robots in his factories.
He's basically always wrong and every podcaster and media personality just gushes over him and pretends he's a special personality, when objectively, he's a dumb motherfucker who's exceedingly confident and great at taking credit for other people's ideas.
Excellent points. The submarine in the Thai cave incident is when the aha moment clicked in my head that he is just a vocal khole addict that pays people off to promote his propaganda. Its non stop…just like trump, they can do no wrong likely because they are paid to spin it in a positive light regardless of the topic.
It took me longer. The moment it clicked for me was the incident where he carried a sink around Twitter's offices.
That really made it apparent that he'd become radicalized to a moronic point, and then he goes and drops two Nazi salutes on national TV. I legitimately hate that man and I hope, when the AI bubble pops, that it severely harms his finances and his psyche.
Yah well good on you for recognizing and adapting to new information. Nazi’s deserve no sympathy.
Thank you.
I really liked Twitter pre-Elon, but the upside is I found the Fediverse.
😊 Yah never got into the whole microblogging self imposed character restrictions, spent a lot of time on reddit back in the early 2010’s but left before the 2020’s. Now ive found the fedi, lots of cool and unique people here. Feels like home lol. Cheers!
