"Combination Of Depression, Drugs And Stress"

Sounds like my life without billionaire part.

[-] Techlos@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 hour ago

Weird, been a stressed and depressed druggo for a decade and I've still somehow avoided becoming a nazi

[-] voytrekk@sopuli.xyz 29 points 3 hours ago

Elon Musk could have been remembered as a cool tech guy. All he had to do was just keep running his companies and let the smart people working for him do the talking. Nobody would be the wiser that he didn’t know what he was talking about.

Instead, he let his ego get in the way of things and people know him for who he really is. I used to think he was pretty smart. After reading the things he writes, it became apparent that his companies thrive despite him, not because of him.

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 1 points 13 minutes ago

Nah he couldn't cause he's a fraud. Going right is his exit plan.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 52 minutes ago* (last edited 51 minutes ago)

He had a pr team helping him, it did wonders for his public image, he became even more narcissistic and got rid of them. also he kinda changed around the time the epstein thing came out too, suspicious?

I know he still has a lot of dick riders but, honestly, I think him streaming Path of Exile live really hurt him with the demographic that was his main fans. White young to middle age males that play video games.

It became the perfect analogy to use to explain to that group of people why actual engineers and scientists know he's an idiot. He could hide behind criticism because the average person doesn't know enough about those things to know what he doesn't know.

But when all the gaming channels started mocking him for not knowing the games UI and not knowing his (paid for) character at rank 3 had some of THE BEST gear. Dude confused "level required" vs gear item level.

It was just such a great example to show people how much of a complete fraud he was. At least people in that demographic. You didn't even need to play PoE, if you ever played a game you could tell he had no idea what he was doing in his supposedly top ranked player in the world.

Though you still had people defending it, I think for the casual Elon "fan" in that demographic it was pretty eye opening.

It also says a lot about him that he thought he could get away with faking that. He fakes all his other achievements.

Wonder what would happen to Elmo if Grimes drops the pegging tapes…

[-] TylerBourbon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

Fox News would suddenly push how awesome and Alpha pegging is?

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Sounds like a net gain for society.

[-] Vopyr@lemmy.world 13 points 4 hours ago

In my opinion, he's long gone mad, just look at all this nonsense with Twitter and his "awesome" ideas.

[-] excral@feddit.org 29 points 5 hours ago

I thought that he always was an asshole and just dropped the facade, but him once being somewhat sane (as far as billionaires go) and going mad from stress and drug abuse seems like a plausible hypothesis, too. Either way, doesn't change that he needs to be stopped

[-] Transtronaut 3 points 4 hours ago

Yeah. Not mutually exclusive, either.

[-] SirFasy@lemmy.world 17 points 5 hours ago

Oh no.. anyways..

[-] decapitae@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

I thought that CEO's got that mighty scratch because they were made of sterner stuff.

[-] WarLorax@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago
[-] pyre@lemmy.world 28 points 7 hours ago

Someone who cares about him needs to take him off the internet permanently

there's your problem innit

[-] Sm0ke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 7 hours ago

It’s devastating to see the toll fentanyl takes on hundreds of thousands of lives every year, destroying families and communities. Yet, it feels incredibly unfair to see someone like Elon Musk openly joke about or trivialize its use. While he may have the privilege to brush it off, so many others don’t have that luxury. It highlights the stark divide between those who face the real consequences of this crisis and those who seem untouched by it. Accountability and awareness matter, especially when it comes to something as serious as fentanyl.

[-] frankpsy@lemm.ee 3 points 5 hours ago

If he gets the wrong batch of K he may very well get dosed with fent.

[-] KinglyWeevil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago

We should be so lucky

[-] Zerberr@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 hours ago

Next step is suicide, please.

[-] lori@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago

Musk was once so distraught and erratic, having a full on breakdown, locking himself in his Twitter office. To the point where Twitter employees almost called for a wellness check on him.

This happened because he got booed at that Chappelle show he had a surprise appearance at.

This man will not survive being one of the most hated men on earth, especially if he also stops being the richest man on earth with how much of his net worth is tied to Tesla stocks.

[-] Gethund@lemm.ee 4 points 6 hours ago

Pretty sure the word is "Hagiographer".

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

You might be thinking of Walter Isaacson. This is about Seth Abramson and I assure you, the word is not hagiographer.

[-] Gethund@lemm.ee 2 points 6 hours ago

I'm not thinking of anyone. Hagiography is betraying someone as a saint. Oh great! I get to get attacked on a whole new platform!

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

Hagiography is betraying someone as a saint.

You mean ‘portraying’? Well, it’s not doing either.

[-] Gethund@lemm.ee 2 points 5 hours ago

Yeah, I do. You seem to be unpleasantly aggressive. Wouldn't you feel happier back on reddit? Oh dear, I made a typo. You're SO clever to point it out. Just go away and insult someone else.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago

My dude only one of us is new here. Just relax, or if you feel upset about it use the block feature to not have to hear my (or anyone’s) annoying pedantry.

Imagine making an account here and, within 4 days of migrating from reddit, whining about how anyone being even remotely critical of your comments belongs on reddit lol

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 9 hours ago

I think it's more the money. money causes mental illness.

but you know, there's a cure, and he employs so very many engineers who could build him one.

[-] Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 7 hours ago

Power disparity derived from wealth disparity inevitably leads to unchecked corruption.

Late Stage Capitalism is a malignant cancer on both society and the planet

He's depressed so he decided to go full Dr.Evil I suppose...

Make everyone suffer along with him.

[-] Vopyr@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Depressed about what? He's one of the richest people in the world who can do whatever schizophrenic shit he wants. What a joke.

[-] figjam@midwest.social 2 points 5 hours ago

Oh no. Anyway. Suck less ass.

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
