Maybe he ought to do himself and us a favour and just… delete himself.
A mad king you say...
ive been living with a combination of drugs depression and stress for most of my life and im not a megalomaniac asshole billionaire hellbent on destroying the country...
But if you had money, you might just be.
Broke ass cant even destroy the world with his depression
/s
I did not see this published outside of India. But not sure why. It’s all based on Xitter.
American media is 50% terrified of criticizing him and losing access, and 50% complicit.
Homeboys scams are coming to an end and those will destroy him, so he is trying to destroy America instead and has found useful greedy idiots to help.
Cool, i hope he has a painful and debilitating aneurysm during a live interview in the Oval.
Stop, my penis can only get so erect.
Only if he also soils himself.
Hopefully he offs himself before his DOGE takes full control of a nuclear silo.
He’ll be replaced by another billionaire, with their own agenda.
I mean it would set an example
An example of what, being too lenient? Protesting will become illegal by then and you’ll be picking up cotton…
That’s probably true but it would still be semi cathartic to see Musk off himself
Praying for the worst for him. 🙏
Elon? Going mad? How is that possible, the guy's been mad since the beginning. He's a narcicitic asshole who can't handle that not everyone loves him and believes his lies so he turns super evil. I know OD on ketamine is hard, but I hope he'll try, and if he succeeds, it will be his first accomplishment which is actually good for this world.
he will probably OD on cocaine, or die from alcohol poisoning.
Good.
Given how this douche canoe acts, and the damage he's done lately, I just hope he finds himself in a very slow, painful decline and maybe he'll snap while in the oval office with first lady Trump.
Can we get a fast painful decline? Minimize how much harm he does to... everyone?
If he could decline in such a way that utterly destroys the United States empire, Israel, and Russia while causing minimal harm to the working class and oppressed minorities that would be great.
Honestly. I'd be happy with decline at 3200 feet per second from 400 yards.
The russki bungee jump?
No no no... we want a very RAPID decline to minimize the damage. If he were on his own, it'd be different but this is a time I'd rather minimize the suffering for everyone.
I'm still down for the painful one at least.
Wealth doesn't heal old wounds. You can be the most powerful man in the world and not feel in control.
He needs a good therapist not a biographer.
Just when I was starting to feel some sympathy for him I googled "Elon Musk therapy" and this was the first thing to come up...
"Guys would rather upend the world economy and peace in a ketamine bender than go to therapy"
Perfect answer to this.
What does the richest man in history have to stress about. He doesn't know the meaning of real stress. The pansy.
I do think he has stress, but it's self-induced. He's clearly mentally unwell. Honestly, makes me think of that BoJack Horseman episode where you hear his inner monologue throughout the show and it's just things comments directed at himself like, "you piece of shit.", "You're so fat", etc.
Not an excuse at all for his actions, but I do really think that's what's going on. He hates himself. Needs constant validation. But no amount of validation is going to soothe his inner monologue. So he's spiraling while his stress continues to grow.
drug induced stress. cocaine making him stay up all day making hundreds of tweets every few days.
Ain't easy being a space Nazi.
space karen, temu stark, phoney stark.
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.
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 asylum~~ our society.
