I did not see this published outside of India. But not sure why. It’s all based on Xitter.
Imagine having more money than anyone’s ever had
Being stressed, depressed, drug addicted, and an actual Nazi.
Times like this I think about Enya. Yeah, Enya. Where’s she been? In a fucking castle. With a fuck ton of kitties.
She made her millions and said “oh golly, I don’t need to do much of anything anymore. And I quite like castles and kittens.”
She didn’t say “what can I do to make more people like me?” And then please the most hateful people on earth. How are these paths even a choice one has to ponder? Go fuck off in a castle full of cats.
We were just having a similar discussion, though not about Enya. My position was if I had a billion dollars, you know what I would do? I’d recreate Hogwarts Castle. I’m not even a huge Harry Potter fan and hate what’s-her-name, but how cool would it be to live in a beautiful movie set house the size of a small town?
I’d make sure I had enough money to live comfortably, travel lots, etc. Then I would get busy trying to give the rest of it away.
Muskwarts?
unlike jk rowling using her wealth and fame to become a “terf”, i think shes buddy buddy with musk too. she must be constantly depressed and stressed from that too. and many pointed out her books are actually low-key her prejudices. also family guy has pointed this issue out 2 different cutscenes too.
I hope Yanni is in a palace full of pups. And Rhys Fulber a temple full of snakes (I’m assuming he likes snakes).
Yeah if I found myself with more money than I know what to do with I’d spend my time and energy volunteering and working on projects and spending lots of time with friends.
Hell, imagine if these losers went carnagie and started building libraries instead of trying to get them banned. Or maybe something bold like the “Elon Musk bullet train”. They could st least try to be loved instead of whatever they’re doing now.
Welp, I have a new goal in life.
He’s doing it too himself, fuck off.
No one asked him to be a co-nazi. No one asked him to take over Twitter. No one asked him to play make-believe auto maker. No one is asking for his fucking biography. He’s acting like everyone is pulling him in all these different directions, and no one wants him.
He is the world’s richest fucking man. Fuck him. He could have the best doctors/therapy/drugs in the world, could travel the world and “find himself,” maybe even do something worth writing about. But he chooses to be a completely waste of human flesh that will be nothing but a smear in history. That’s his legacy. A shit smear on an already shit covered era. He’s not helping anyone, not even his own kids, he is willfully putting his effort into being the biggest piece of shit.
Fuck him. Fuck his depression, fuck his addiction, fuck his stress, and fuck him. He’s ruining my country and wants pity because it’s stressing him out.
FUCK HIM
Also calling it stress is so fucking gross when normal people have to deal with soul crushing extisence of inadequate food, housing and life of wage slavery, and he’s just upset cause his world domination plans makes people say mean things to him.
I don’t think you know what depression is. Little correlation with outside circumstances is one of the traits.
It’s not the most important reason by a long shot, but it’s yet another reason why extreme wealth hoarding, aka billionaires and centimillionaires, should have been taxed out of existence and legislated from existing going forward:
Even they aren’t happy, even sitting in the complete victory of their coup. They could have a dozen space station mansions each and they still wouldn’t be satiated or satisfied. They can’t be satisfied. That is their defining character deficit. Literally everybody loses so long as the avarice diseased capitalists remain in charge, even them. The intensity of their cringeworthy attempts at social media flexes betrays their intent and blasts us all with their screaming insecurities day in and day out.
They’re mentally ill with an obsession/compulsion related disorder that they’ve manipulated civilization into enabling at literally every possible expense, including mass human murder and seriously risking human extinction for short term private profit.
They should be in mental health facilities receiving inpatient treatment for their extremely destructive antisocial behaviors for both their and everyone else’s safety and wellbeing, too bad at least in the US they defunded mental healthcare into utter ruin (and education, and common infrastructure, etc) to cut their own taxes through their captured government.
The inmates are truly running
the asylumour society.I’m sure there are some that are happy but you never hear about them. A secure, well-adjusted individual with boat-loads of money doesn’t need to stir shit up. They can relax.
The insecure, maladjusted individuals will constantly be defending themselves against perceived threats despite having the means to offload all of that to paid professionals.
A good way to think about it, how would society percieve them if they were hoarding anything else at this scale?
Imagine the guy having warehouses all over the world filled with toilet paper, private security around the compound, and campaign ads to reduce real estate taxes for storage units.
Or somebody having the largest lego collection in the world, constant buying out and threatening other collectors.
It’s a mental illness.
How could they be happy? It’s like a person that weighs a full ton feeling full. You don’t find yourself in that position if you can possibly feel sated.
Like honestly the man probably needs to commit himself to a Buddhist monetary or something where he can learn to humble himself, live with himself, and learn to be sated. Without drastic internal change he will live a life of misery
Thats why power and management of a country should be spread thin, to avoid that corruption from a single point to affect the life of many
Nailed it! Just like in nature and agriculture, monocultures are vulnerable. One disease can wipe out an entire population. Same principal can be applied to almost anything.
and farmers dependant on a single crop where its vulnerable to market/tariffs fluctations too.
That’s the exact thesis proposed in The Dictator’s Handbook by Bueno de Mesquita and Smith for making a government good for its constituents. Coalition size is THE most important feature.
Just to pointlessly clarify, this is article is a paraphrasing of tweets by a journalist who calls himself a Musk biographer. The quoted journalist is not, as the possessive apostrophe in the headline implies, a biographer hired by Musk.
I didn’t realize it was the guy behind the Proof series, but I like his work. His book on Elon is apparently upcoming.
Some zippy quotes from that article include:
Musk “was sued for stealing the idea for Zip2—which fired him as soon as investors got involved” and “was going to run PayPal into the ground after his company merged with it—again he was fired.” He then “invested in Tesla when it was distressed and quickly began running it into the ground.”
Musk founded Zip2, described as “a sort of digital Yellowpages” by Belmont Hill School’s The Panel Online, with his brother. The outlet reported that in an attempt to impress investors in the company, Musk “created a large, fake casing around the Zip2 computer to make it seem like an extremely advanced supercomputer” — a move that worked, but investors who put $3 million into the company did so only after Musk agreed to step down so “someone more experienced to take his place.”
The code used by the program, which Musk taught himself, “was soon exposed to be so scrambled that a majority of the program had to be rewritten by more advanced programmers.”
Musk ultimately returned to the company as CEO and benefitted financially when it was sold to COMPAQ in 1999. He used the $22 million his 7% share brought in to an “internet bank” at X.com — the same company he merged with the founders of Paypal. He was named CEO after the merger in April 2000 but was removed from the position six months later.
SpaceX, Abramson continued, is Musk’s only “truly successful and novel company” and a chunk of its success was owed to President Obama, who Musk “successfully lobbied” after “Russians had laughed Musk out of Moscow.”
Oh man… So Obama not only roasted Trump so bad that the touchy little bastard ran for office, but he also handed Elon his only genuine W.
Talk about a monkey’s paw president.
thanks Obama!
I have watched that joke start off unfunny, get repurposed ironically, fade into sincerity and circle back to being unfunny, get exhumed in a funny way, die again, and now there’s just this breccia of nuance that makes me feel weird and sad… But in a funny way.
“going” is doing a lot of work here…
Going implies he’s not there yet and there is much worse to come.
He’s been saying it for a while tho
Extremely heavy lift.
It’s quite clear he has been getting steadily worse over the years, so I don’t get the rationale of your comment.
That guy’s mental health reached rock bottom years ago. He has been digging ever since.
Probably around middle school judging by his attitude and behavior. He hasn’t matured emotionally or intellectually since then.
12 by most peoples account, consider he uses language like that of a MSer. trumps brain turned to mush decades ago from adderall and cocaine.
his brain can only function while its bathing in ketamine, dom perrignon, nad cocaine.
We noticed.
I expect the problem is that, when you get that rich, people stop caring about you, they start caring about your money. A string of women who just smash a kid out for him then fuck off. Kids who don’t seem to want anything to do with him. Does he have anyone he actually considers a true friend? Probably not. He’s just surrounded by bootlickers and yes men, and deep down he knows it. He’s probably deeply lonely and paranoid.
Not that I care. He’s also a cunt.
If he wasn’t a cunt then maybe I’d care but he makes it so easy to enjoy his own suffering.
“There’s no cure for being a cunt.” -Ser Bronn of the Blackwater
one of his nicknames is also space karen.
Yeah, but in order to get to such a position, you can’t be a normal person with normal boundaries and interpersonal relationships. He was just born Elon and he will die Elon.
Cool, i hope he has a painful and debilitating aneurysm during a live interview in the Oval.

trump does that regularly.
its possible if he uses cocaine alot.
Someone who cares about him needs to take him off the internet permanently
there’s your problem innit
Praying for the worst for him. 🙏
Don’t forget this guy bragged a few years back about not sleeping or sleeping in his office. Let’s not discount how years of sleep deprivation has probably influenced his chaotic behavior.
It’s prolly the drugs keeping him awake
Even on LSD you have to eventually stop playing Overwatch.
He had mad the world so much worse i can’t feel sorry for him
