And why do we even care how popular a CEO is, or who he is at all?
Because he forged a stupid ass cult of personality based on the lie of "Rel lyf eronmaen" so thusly has way too much power even ignoring the fact that in theory he has billions in assets. Note he is also a damned fine example as to why stocks for anything other than resource extraction is fucking asinine.
Personally I think the world would be a lot better if murder was still relatively easy, simply because then we could just kill fuckwads like musk and the world would somewhat improve.
Has he tried not being a fuckhead?
No.
seriously.
he has a golden PR opportunity.
just say that he has a drug addiction take a vacation in s luxury rehab for a couple weeks and gain simpathy. then all he has to do is being less public about his racism.
but he's too dumb to see it.
I know it's probably a typo, but I like the implication that his sympathy would be simpathy because it'd be simulated.
If he does that he’ll lose his fuckhead supporters though
but he'll get back that apolitical centrists liberal demographic, the people who say hes Tony Stark. he'll be back in SNL, and people might use him as an example of "genius"
that is all 100% BS.
but it shows that he isn't only Selfish, racist,bigot, he is also not a smart one.
He killed his Dem fans by going MAGA. Then, killed MAGA fans going against their orange god. All-around idiot that got lucky investments with daddy's money.
Jump in one of those exploding rockets, Elon. It surely won't blow this time.
friendly reminder that Eloser Muskrat got over 8 million USD in DAILY subsidies from the government, while he swore to hold a chainsaw to "democracy" to "cut costs"
I mean, him Titan CEO'ing himself on the way to Mars as a showcase that his tech is safe, is well within plausibility
He could do that today by showing off how reliable the collision detection and braking systems are on his Cybertruck.
Don't give me hope!
Solid chance he does the same thing in one of his robotaxis
He isn't taking his own robo taxis.
Does he even drive a tesla?
He does. He required their charging port to be where they are due to the layout of his garage at the time when they designed the Model S
I don't know, the stream where his entire goal was to prove how good starlink was for gaming where he immediately blamed all his deaths on poor connection quality, sort of implies he has trouble putting his products before his ego.
And while he is an expert at deluding himself, I think we have already passed the point where even he could be convinced his rockets were safe.
I doubt he would drive his own teslas
No way dude goes himself. No way.
He not only did what you describe, but by buying Twitter, he intentionally worked to polarize the entire political base into neat "pro-Trump" and "anti-Trump" camps. Then he finished systematically burning his bridges with both. Amazing work all around.
Glad the drugs made him unpredictable. Unlike thiel and bezoa he can't help but to be an attention whore.
All he has now is hopefully getting Russian fans
55.1 percent of Americans viewed Elon Musk unfavorably, while 37 percent had a favorable opinion
How is this possible? I'm convinced you can do the worst shit imaginable and 30% of people will still support it, no matter what.
6% of the us population consider themselves far-right, 17% consider themselves right-of-center-right, add in silicon Valley nuts, linked in lunatics, vc padded vest wearers, die hard Tesla / SpaceX fans, single issue voters, red-down-the-ballot-voters, and people who don't keep up with what elon did bad - easy to see tbh
37% of the county is a brain dead twat
AMERICANS will support it.
Nation of 10 year olds.
Being a sack of hot garbage will do that to your popularity.
He's mostly ketamine, and various drugs.
HGH. So much HGH going to his chest.
Brogan and Wifebeater Dana too
And an enormous amount of human fæces as a binder.
I hope he will be ignored into obscurity and eternal oblivion. Peter Thiel too, what a disgrace for the german people.
He can always crawl back into his k-hole. Good riddance.
He's probably too tolerant to ketamine now.
He should increase the dose. Maybe mix it with booze. I hear that's a great way to increase its effect.
he does drink alot of alcohol, maybe hes too tolerant to it too. hes like ROGER from american dad, who couldnt get drunk anymore, and yes also mentally unpredictable too.
People dont like Nazis???
In other news, Forks found in kitchen!
fuck this Nazi scum.
dude should go back to South Africa and crawl back into whatever shithole he crawled out of.
Still alive tho.
It's all just Woody Harrelson crying gif to him though.
No, he's very, very insecure. No one loves him and he's desperate for affection. Him and Trump both have deep daddy issues.
Since the scene originally took place in a zombie apocalypse where money was worthless, unironically this. He's clearly unhappy and his money does nothing to change that. Like many narcissists, he desperately wants to be liked.
He should try being likeable.
He's not capable of that.
Point.
Awesome strategy, though. First, piss off the sane people, then piss off the crazy people.
This is funny
I stopped using twitter once I could no longer use it to see live updates for current events around the world
I would never buy a new car let alone a fancy or wannabe fancy one
I hope space x gets to mars
Elon seems like he has a lot of issues he needs to work through, I don’t think he realizes how much his actions hurt those around him including people in his own family which he claims is important to him but that’s just me trying to humanize him I guess
The big doughey lump made people mad at him. He deserves it. Fuck off, chud.
All time until now...
Good.
