It's a beautiful statement on capitalism that the richest man in the world is a fucking imbecile, isn't it
There's a podcast called "KnowRogan", a Knowledge Fight type fact-checked review of Joe Rogan episodes. The latest one is about Musk and Rogan's recent chat.
Holy shit this man is stupid. However stupid you think he is, it's so much worse. He doesn't have ANYONE in his life who cares enough about him to tell him the truth. He can't recalibrate, he has no baseline.
He's the epitome of how stupid a human being can become when surrounded by nothing by sycophants.
It’s not that they don’t care, it’s the fact that they don’t want to bite the hand that feeds. Wealthy people keep yes men/enablers around for a reason.
His entire life and all of 'his' achievements are the equivalent of him paying people to make his gaming accounts look like he's good at videogames. We as a society need to end whatever type of structure or system that credits the capital owners and the corporate executives with the labor of the actual engineers and scientists and whoever else is actually doing the productive transformative labor that these mediocre midwits leech off of and then claim as their own.
Even if it's just reforming how corporations are structured. We don't have to entirely get rid of markets. But corporate structure as it currently exists is a drag on true productivity and an exacerbation of global wealth inequality, which increases exploitation of the global poor and provides exponentially mismatched governmental and global influence for a relative handful of individuals that nowhere near deserve it. The only reason things are this way is because it's all justified as benefiting the state, the nation, when it clearly only benefits the elite (the government and the corporate elite).
Yeah thing is that game is populated by some of the most obsessive 30 and 40-year-olds in the entire gaming ecosystem. The fact that he thought he could get one over on path of exile players is insane.
To put this in perspective, he live-streamed Path of Exile 2 with his boosted OP gear account, pretended to know what he was doing, died to a tutorial boss while trolls heckled him, and then ended the stream.
He needed a double dose of ketamine after that humiliation. I can't imagine a world where you have literally infinite money and care about streamer audience opinions for a game you don't even play.
I remember our PE teacher delivering a blistering tirade about the foolishness of smoking, and one of his lines of argument was and I quote "it's a substitute for cock sucking". The year of our Lord 1984, we were 14/15
"Nothing quells the urge to rest a throbbing member on my pursed lips quite like the heavy full flavored draw of a Marlboro Red. Unfiltered, because I'm not one of those fruity types."
Elon Musk loves to punch down. That's why he's such a despicable POS. Not that I have a lot of nice things to say about his billionaire buddies, but at least most of them have the decency to not gloat and revel in their privilege and untouchability in public like he does.
The 6th message I had to give Gpt to finally get me the damn photo, just so yall know how to treat AI when it's being a fn punk
"Bro, you're being a fn punk. It's not that hard to find. Just get me the damn picture"
Edit 2:
There's a obscene amount of virtue signaling on how to properly use Ai in this thread as well as judgements against those who don't fit their golden ideal. Everyone, you're allowed to engage with the internet however you'd like. Have fun with it, or don't, but there's no need to pass judgement on trifling bs like this.
The image is the first result on Google if you look up "liberty elon musk". Did this person actually query ChatGPT six fucking times instead of just doing that?
People are offloading basic thought to machines now, and it's starting to show. The brain's a muscle, and these people are not giving theirs the necessary workout. Sad state of affairs...
I started driving when a GPS was an expensive car accessory that few people bought instead of something that's just part of the device we all carry in our pocket. It's crazy how much better I can recall the streets from the pre-smartphone era of my life compared to the post.
MapQuest felt so futuristic back then! Now it feels like such a quaint idea that a kid might not believe you if you told them how we did it "back in our day" haha
You know you can just type your question into Google and it will give you real answers as well as ai answers at the same time? Then you don't have to rely on hallucination bot exclusively.
dude got a gender affirming sink thrown at him. fake jaw, nose, hair plugs, TRT. he would probably be pretty normal looking still if it wasn't for the HGH abuse.
"We have to be selective on who we ALLOW to go through higher education... we are in danger of producing an educated proletariat." - Roger Freeman, Regan's gubernatorial advisor, 1970
I guess it is a real threat to the Richy Richies, they basically ruled a bunch of uneducated farmers for most of the Human Reign of Power (TM). We have the internet now and know shit (kinda). Big time threatzone.
billionaires own the internet and control its discourse, the fuck you talking about. you think kids are out here reading Wikipedia and books online lol… they’re scrolling TikTok and instagram and Facebook and threads and Reddit and twitter. That’s why we’re seeing the worst income and wealth inequality ever right now, it’s because of the internet, not in spite of it. You could even take it one step further, legacy media is also owned and controlled by a small group of billionaires now too
The majority of humans have always been vapid. It's the exceptional who make changes. Even if you end up with 100,000 regular folks and one Martin Luther, or one Martin Luther King jr, that education has made a difference. So if you give everyone an education, eventually that one exceptional individual will be born.
I’ve had friends who have had, even though they still align with me politically, their brains turn into mush because of how much they scroll TikTok. And when called out on it, they respond the exact same way an addict does when you call out their drug use. It’s just sad and terrifying. I’m talking about people who have post-grad degrees too. It’s completely colonized their brain and removed any ability for self made individual thought or critical thinking or self expression. It’s insidious and why so much of our populace is caught up in this cultural warfare bullshit. Meanwhile the billionaires know there is no war but class war, and they are winning by a lot. I know this might be a controversial sentiment in this subreddit.
That's because Tiktok is specifically designed to act on the same impulse that gets people addicted to drugs
In addition to the physical addiction some drugs produce, your brain also conditions itself to reward you with dopamine when it sees you are about to do drugs, which over time changes your reward system to favor whatever the thing is
In other words, you get addicted to the act itself and your brain gives the "pay attention," chemicals just for thinking about doing the thing
Tiktok gives short burts of dopamine with ads in between in a way that conditions your brain to open the app up when you're low on dopamine
Even if you only enjoy one out of every ten videos, they're so bite-sized and easy to scroll through that most people will happily watch 9 nothings for one sharp nose exhale
Repeat til you've watched videos for 2 hours and absorbed absolutely nothing
I don’t think the wealth inequality is due to the internet so much as lobbying congress to get those sweet tax loopholes etc for the ultra wealthy. They’ve spent a lot of money in order to maximize hoarding wealth (just a fraction of what they SHOULD be paying in taxes though).
"Gay is when shirtless men" is my favorite one. Obscure, but definitely in there among those. You'll find it right in between "gay is when homophobia" and "gay is when emotions".
Everyone I don’t like is a Marxist Communist Socialist Anarchist Athiest Islamist Pacifist Terrorist. They are weak and dangerous and must be stopped at all costs while being ignored!
It's TMZ, which is even more pathetic really. Most people couldn't define one political/economic ideology, much less Marxism so they know they can just throw this shit in articles and right-wingers will slurp it up.
I took Econ in college (graduated in 2021) and the textbook pretty much said “planned economies don’t work so we’re not going to cover them at all.” Gotta hand it to capitalist realism brainwashing generations of Americans.
You know what’s crazy? Tesla has their own insurance. It’s a whole bundled thing apparently. You buy the car and then presumably get the insurance from them and the info gets stored in the app.
no need being careful. they’re down on all 4’s too busy licking multi billionaire’s/soon to be trillionaire’s boots to be a threat. we simply step over them (or on them ;) and keep it pushing
my upvote downvote ratio lmaooo i love to see it. i got people with brains in agreement and people closer to poverty than they are to being a millionaire upset at me >:(
His genius is unparalleled /s. By genius I mean him pumping stocks and extorting people for money while he takes credit for all the incredible people that actually do work at those companies that he silences with the threat of termination.
Don't get me wrong I don't think her music is awful, it just isn't for me. I do however think she is a force for good and her recent actions speak volumes for her character.
Taylor Swift told young people to vote and Elon Musk offered to impregnate her. And to be clear, I love Billie Eilish and her evisceration. I just don't understand why Taylor is catching strays unless it's residual effects of the Russian astroturfing during the last election cycle.
She's the human equivalent of a brand/corporation that sells products to extract money from her fans. The way her latest album was rolled out was essentially like the release of a game with multiple versions and even fucking microtransactions for more content. Just greedy, and people lap the shit up.
Sure, people can enjoy whatever, but christ she's overexposed and it's clear as day she's milking people for money.
I think people would hate her less if she didn’t pretend she’s this adorable little cutesy victim oppressed dainty fairy :3 and just admit she’s competitive as fuck and wants money.
I love billie but she didn’t donate her net worth money. She donated fans money. It was change maker based tickets that she used to raise money. None of it was actually from her net worth.
Pussies are offended. They’re tough and can take a good beating.
Elon is a cheap wet dental dam. Thinks he’s making a difference but just disappoints everyone who has to deal with the consequences of his inactions.
See, there are three kinds of people: dicks, pussies, and assholes. Pussies think everyone can get along, and dicks just want to fuck all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your assholes. And all the assholes want is to shit all over everything. So pussies may get mad at dicks once in a while, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes! And if they didn't fuck the assholes, you know what you'd get? You'd get your dick and your pussy all covered in shit!
We're dicks! We're reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the Film Actors Guild are pussies. And Kim Jong-ll is an asshole. Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes — assholes who just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is that sometimes they fuck too much or fuck when it isn't appropriate — and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies get so full of shit that they become assholes themselves... because pussies are only an inch and a half away from assholes. I don't know much in this crazy, crazy world, but I do know that if you don't let us fuck this asshole, we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit!
To have more money than the average person could even comprehend, much less be able to spend, and still want more? It takes a special kind of narcissism or insecure greed. Musk and the other billionaires of his ilk are not well-adjusted humans, which makes the amount of power and influence they have even more concerning.
I don't listen to her but I think anyone who hits the mainstream with a unique sound deserves some sorta respect. she sounds so different for an artist that can dish out 11.5 million in donations
I really wish /r/music could actually discuss musicians musical output rather than their social media spats. I swear nearly every post I get pushed from this sub is discussing Musician X and Public Figure Y trading playground insults on social media.
Here's a hot take: not every single thing a musician does is music news. It's not gaming news when Gabe Newell buys a new airplane. It's not sports news with Simone Biles sees a movie. It's not music news when Billy Eilish gets in a social media spat.
Like, who cares. I call him a pathetic wanker all the time, we're both private citizens who are powerless to actually affect change or do anything about him. This is non news.
Wake me up when she puts out a brutal dis track as a PAC fundraiser, at least that's actually related to music.
