When Elon kinda first hit the scene I liked him and was on his side. It’s been through his own consistent inconsistencies and double talk, and also plain crazy talk… that has totally turned me off to him in any area. I think if I can go from ‘almost a fanboy’ to ‘give back Twitter you stupid cunt’; I’m likely not the only one.
I’m sick of him. Like all of it. I wish he’d had gotten put in that car they launched into space.
He’s such an 🫏🕳️
Yeah, I went from thinking he was like a real life Tony Stark. Obviously Tony Stark is fictional, but Elon seemed like what he could be if he was real instead of fantasy.
I’ve pivoted on my opinion of him so hard that I’ve been side eyeing Tony Stark, Bruce Wayne, and the whole idea of a benevolent billionaire hero as billionaire propaganda.
He took his mask off in 2018 when he had the tantrum about his stupid submarine idea being called stupid and then went after the guy who did save the kids personally. He never was able to get that mask to fit again after that.
I feel like I can understand Lex Luthor’s decisions. I disagree with them, but there’s a logical consistency there. I look at Elon and think “I’m supposed to believe this guy is a genius?”
The only thing he ever brought to the companies was large amounts of money and preparedness to spend vast quantities of it without really seeming to be bothered about if it made a profit or not.
If you’re trying to make money you don’t start a rocket company and you definitely don’t start a rocket company that does things differently to the established ones.
I mean, yeah, tony stark is an asshole. Bruce Wayne could do more for Gotham than Batman ever could. Elon IS like them - he only wants to do anything good (or anything at all) if it brings a spotlight to them
Yeah but Hughes ran a magazine empire. Tony Stark was like, “what if someone had Hughes’ charisma but also the knowledge to use his resources to develop world-saving technology”. Musk didn’t have that charisma but was able to fake it for a while and the develop tech part IMO is more of what makes Tony Stark than the rest of it.
He’s literally his own worst enemy. If he’d just shut the fuck up and work - but no. He’s used Tesla stock to fund his idiotic twitter shit. Boring company is a dead end. Cybertruck has already seen two recalls and is trickling out to confirmed fanboys only. My only hope is that he doesn’t fuck up spacex. Apparently they have a whole ‘elon management’ team and it’s working.
Yes I think the government is one of the ‘big sponsors’ for him. Even if he dislikes the government 🙄.
I imagine it’s deeeefinitely in their best interests to ‘manage Elon’.
“Sorry Elon we wanted to introduce you to the hardworking rocket scientists, but they hate you and would rather jump off a bridge than be in a room with you. Soooo, we made some nice snacks and joints, and there’s a hot tub you can use too. Doesn’t that sound nicer than belittling people and causing chaos? Yeah? Good? Good. Aww ok you want Ice cream too. Thats ok, just stay away from Mission Control sweety.”
When I first heard about him, it was when he took over Tesla and was pushing electric cars to become mainstream against a huge amount of industry pressure trying to squash any effort to move away from fossil fuels. It was an inspiring underdog story, and I was genuinely rooting for the guy. Maybe not in a crazy fanboy way like some people o today, but whenever I heard a positive news story about him it was uplifting to a certain degree.
Then he absolutely humiliated himself with the “pedo guy” comments and his bizarre feud with the truth/reality and my opinion of him flipped then and there. It only went downhill quicker when he started showing his true colors - switching from Democrat to Republican and indulging himself in conspiracy theories, antisemitism and racist ideology cemented my opinion of him. He’s a true blue piece of shit who will say or do anything if he can make money off of it.
I’m kinda not mad that he’s crazy AND vocal. What I’m more worried about is when maybe when he older and wiser he shuts up and just starts funneling all that money towards his nutto crazy talk. At least now you can hear him coming.

He’s effing Lex Luthor, not Bruce Wayne

Even that is giving him too much credit.

Hughes built aircraft, cars, dated addresses and owned casinos.
He is the guy in charge of the spruce goose.
Are you thinking of Hearst ?
Oh my bad, I was thinking of Hugh Hefner.
That’s playboy.
Howard Hughes is who Tony stark is based on. Fascinating man.
Yeah, that’s why I thought the Stark comparison was stronger with who we thought Musk was at one time lol.
I see it now though, now that I understand who you actually meant.
If you haven’t read about Hughes, do so. It’s interesting to see everything he did and what a celebrity he was. That’s who Elon wanted to be.
Sadly Hughes died a horrible death. Was very odd as he got older due to his injuries.

The problem is that a large part of his success is loudly creating his “genius” persona that brings in investors.
But when that persona went full right-wing conservative racist troll, that may have won him some supporters but lost many others.
Any success behind him has just purely been because he’s a walking money bag, otherwise he just seems like a hindrance.
The system sure works /s

I love what he did with Tesla to get it going. That was pretty amazing.
Now he is more of a boat anchor for the brand.

Yeah, that’s the unnerving part. If he just understood when to STFU and take an L, he could still have the reputation of a savior of humanity.
He’s a what now?
A donkey disc. Durh.
Ass ring!
