Elon Musk is officially cringe 

An eccentric expat, even. 😅

I wish we had rich people who were even more eccentric. Like, I'm going to build a replica of the Titanic, just because. I mean, give me a billion dollars and I'm reconstructing HMS Warspite, scrapping her was a crime.

People need to stop assuming that rich people are rich because they're smart or talented.

Hes not eccentric. He's just cringe

@@dhaub7174 Yeah, it's kinda like he's just a boring idiot who tries to act eccentric so people notice him, but he just keeps proving he's dumber than a box of rocks.

thanks i needed that quote

Nice

Xarxixxixt

Quick, trademark that before he names a male grooming range after it.

This should not have been funny

The droughts we‘ve had these past few years must all have been a mass-hallucination.

He said that it was because he has a light in front of him, but it is my canon that Josh's paleness and charm is due to him being a vampire, possibly a Toreador or maybe a less stuck up Ventrue.

​@@rokva5771+1 on that

A Toreador you think? Then again, he has quite the poetic way with words and used to be an actor before the Embrace...

I thought it was crohn's disease

Edward Cullen looks but with that modern Robert Pattinson cool factor.

...just like a certain ex-President...

throw money at it, let band of scientists do it, take credit, profit. Sounds like Elon Jobs or Steve Musk.

Ah, so he too is an extremely stable genius, is he?

you think too highly of people if you think you can't fool people all the time.

Elon bad same 1 comment

tbh Musk isn't hard target, unless you're already a Musk simp

Do you mean talking on Steam giving his opinions on everyone else 😅. He is literally describing streamers 😅

​@@Mish844agreed I'm over talking about it low hanging fruit 😅

@@Mish844he’s got at least two in this comment section who’ve replied to or commented 14 or so times (and counting) to people making any negative statements about Elon and they sound about as smart as a couple seagulls squawking endlessly

@@tomburress4928 well some1 has to be drastically below average in brainpower, otherwise existence of geniuses would not make sense, statistically. Muskrats heroically fill this thankless job.

"Steven Seagal with money" is a brilliant description of him.

That's the cruelest burn I've seen describing him, 10/10.

He’s a streamer now so he is qualified to have an opinion on everything.

Eh. The man gets better results than just about anyone else who is trying. I'm willing to excuse his abundant personal failings so long as he keeps getting important work done.

Omfg that's so accurate

"surrounding yourself with a circle jerk makes your hands too slippery to hold onto reality" *taking notes* I might steal that, thank you for your services.

Elon bad

Well put

​@@ye9945do you have something to say? go mask off, it's alright. You're under every comment that's near the top, saying the same thing.

@@Sercotani I'm just joining in the circlejerk, fellow le redditor. Elon bad.

"you promised you'd be Tesla but you're just another Edison"

Basically he's the business world's version of the Fighter Plane Mafia... But yes, that's his greatest skill, his second greatest is being able to convince his legion of followers that he is actually a fucking genius and not just a trust fund rich kid.

@@DrFeelGoodHelpDesk He's fooled himself into thinking he is the genius his devotees think he is.

I remember seeing an interview over 10 years ago where he said he saw himself as more of an Edison than a Tesla, which was pretty damn telling. He's been clear who he is for a while @@Matt_the_pirate

he paid extra money when he bought Tesla to have the founder label applied to him. He never founded Tesla

It's kinda cringe that you're making shit up when there's obviously real blunders of his to point to. You clearly haven't looked into the first thing about what he does, or you're lying. Stop it. Conspiracy theories aren't cool; you don't get points for being ignorant.

@@piersyfy4148Musk has never shown any qualities, stop boot-licking

@@piersyfy4148 Ah yes. All those things he did. Like growing up on daddy's money, growing up to hate his daddy, stealing ideas, lying to his customers (both in his first company and now - nothing changed), pushing out co-founders of companies to basically claim the business as his own, being a divorcee with multiple children because of a breeding fetísh, being a racíst sexíst little man, being insecure to the point of saying he'll buy twitter but then backing out and then being forced by the courts to buy it and then absolutely tanking it into the ground, having complete disregard for city building safety code and annoying people with his DIY "X" sign that he had to remove almost immediately... Ah yes, what a hero...

That's the thing, he knows being cringe brings him business.

Elon... bad

​@@ye9945stop riding his dong mate, youre just making a fool out of yourself.

​@@ye9945Man can't stand people talking shit about Elon so he gotta spam these comments all over the comment section.

@@ekki1993 Im just joining the horse-beating circlejerk! Elon... bad

I know what you mean, but meh, not mutually exclusive. Zuckerberg is still just as bad as far as I'm concerned.

And not just more human, but more heroic even

​@@ULTRAOutdoorsman Uh, calm down there buddy. They're still both billionaires farming our info.

Ok, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

You clearly don't know how any of this within the markets actually works, especially Josh, who should be smarter than this. Learn what an NFT actually is first, instead of being locked into the same ancient monetary systems we've always been, i.e. centralized finance (you probably can't even make that connection). Oh but Josh and everyone that thinks they know anything about NFTs can simply sit their myopic ass down in front of a camera and speak and suddenly it all becomes truth because you have a lot of people agreeing with you? The plumbing of the markets allows certain entities (market makers, hedge funds, etc..) have an absurd amount of control over the price of a given company's stock. That's why Elon hates the SEC, they are supposed to protect publicly traded companies, but they don't. All of this is a psyop against people that are less interested in sound information, and more interested in sounding like they have information. That's most everybody. Remove an NFT from a centralized exchange but have it be attached to something of real value like a home or a car, and suddenly these NFT's people like to shit on get to flex their actual strength, decentralized finance in all forms. But please, go on agreeing with a RU-vidr like the lemming you are. Josh, you should be better. You're talking about Elon's ego here, lets see how fragile yours is.

what's a SEC? have you got a sec to explain?

@@Ar1AnX1x Sure, go to sec.gov and learn all about them.

Talking about the diver who Elon wanted to label a pedo iirc. Over like you said being butthurt he didnt get the spotlight.

@@19ryuusei That is, what I also remember. Something a sane person would never do IMHO. For me a very tough sign that he is a narcissist.

@@19ryuusei that's such a projection, considering how he was friends with Ghilain, or jizzlain or whatever her name is

"That he supports Trump and the GOP" yeah how dare he have a political leaning I don't like. This guy will be shocked to see how many people support Trump after what Biden did.

​@R0ization what did Biden do?

We're also somewhat lucky he decided to focus a large portion of the resources he concentrated around himself on space flight, and not building himself a multi-billion dollar private island getaway with it's own airstrip for PJs, en-suite volano and south-facing swimming pool full of sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads. Because if he does the space thing first, he can also have the controls to a giant laser on the moon in his guest bathroom.

I think his followers should be called Musketeers. 😂

He always tried to promote himself as a genius self-made man

i dont get it , i knew his garbage human being as far as 2007 or 2009 , it alweys made me wonder what people see in him , imgur used to love him so much it was even beyond reson it changed over covid but he never changed , he alweys was garbage human being , i alweys called him Edison after he did buy tesla becouse thats who he was , bying other people ideas and standing on their sucess.

@@metallboy25 I prefere Muskitos, it underlines how annoying they can be

@@VarenvelDarakus that's my point. People didn't know the darker sides to him yet because the public perception was "goofy tech guy". Also, just to play devil's advocate, I believe he only bought the name "Tesla". But still started the EV company and turned it into a success. Not standing up for him, but I do like having my facts straight, so if I'm wrong please tell me.

What? Oh!

It requires effort, people also asume the Interviews and Articles they read aren't marketing. I was one of them. The Internet was full of his fans and that Thai diver scandal was it what finally made me realize what was happening.

Most people his age? How old do you think he is xDDd

@@Aranwulfr He's 76, but heard of moisturiser and sunscreen really early on.

Do you mean that normal and mentally healthy people are much older or much younger than 40? Or both and it's only 40 year olds who are abnormal lunatics?

Last video of Asmon about ESG and blackrock show him being such a liar and a techno feudalist apologist, he licks the toes of Elon musk and all the big Tech's neo liberal feudalist that use all subscription models to steal real value from the working class, because big tech has created nothing of value for the last decade and a half.

You just triggered my entire generation!

Some people in this comment section calling someone like musk unintelligent while they themselves study lesbian dance theory and work on McDonald's.😂 I bet his iq shits all over you

he's not even charismatic, he's just very ambitious in a stupid way and completely over-promises, while selling himself as real life Tony Stark and then hires a team of experts to try to do what he's promised

@@Ar1AnX1x adults call that running a business

he an actor hypred by western media

Cool opinion, mind sharing names of people you support?

Someone once found out I was an IT tech and asked me to solve world hunger by producing a video for them. Ignoring the absurdity of the goal for a moment, you'd think someone who cared enough about world hunger and genuinely thought a video even had a remote chance of solving it could perhaps be invested enough to learn how to produce that video themselves.

@@stoneymahoney9106 Easy. Just offer all the world leaders free IT service if they feed everyone. :D

Does he still have that embarrassing shrine thing going on?

"Well actually lots of scientists use it to make connections in academia"

It was at least a neutral platform for information sharing That's why during turkey earthquake in early 2023 twitter was banned worldwide It took over a week for them to give official government statement on what they'll do to help those in need or even acknowledge the situation Even Wikipedia took a jab at Elon during that time saying how he was pretending to care about freedom of speech but did jack shit when it matters

You think the money from twitter is keeping spacex and tesla afloat? 😂😂😂 good grief.

@@jamescooke7243 people are clueless that Elon sucks down more of our tax money than all the welfare and food stamps for the whole country combined... and he's just lighting it on fire basically 😂

@@jamescooke7243No no no, the fact that twitter is the one thats subject to Musk's whims is what keeps the others afloat. It's like a sacrificial lamb. While musk kills twitter the others one can.... breath

​@@thepolarphantasm2319your so dumb😂 have you seen how much tax he pays? He doesn't even receive subsidiaries for things like spacex, and the ones he gets forced tesla every car company gets. Please educate yourself

​@@gaberlcf me dead 😂🤦

To be fair, even with the training he has done, he is half a foot shorter and weighs way less. Elon could just lay on him until he was gassed.

@@jamesrudisill3816 Weight and height, though matter, do not represent strength or skill. Elon has neither, Mark has some. So, whom will you bet on, a spoiled overgrown child or a sporty sociopath with a burning desire to punish that arrogant ass and possibly laser vision? I don't like either of them, there's something off about them, I'm just being realistic 😅

They don't need to. But people who do frequently outcompete those who do. It's ultimately a systemic problem that comes from us not having guard rails against narcissism and psychopathy, which is essentially an unchecked mental health pandemic as old as our species itself.

The majority of them aren't even biological entities at this point

If you're maga you still think trump and musk are smart, but if you're maga you've been a lolcow since 2015

Elon's mom said no

iPhone was always so funny. It did all the same things all the competition did. It was completely uninteresting in every way. Except for one thing - marketing. Somehow, they were the first to try to market a personal assistant to everyone. Everyone else marketed to businessmen (and fairly poorly at that). I also always loved how it convinced people that it's oh so intuitive and easy to use, which iPhone users readily parroted back to everyone... but couldn't actually _do_ anything with it. Priceless. The $500 figure is really weird to an European too. I had a roughly $500 phone in 2004, three years before the iPhone first released, as a kid. How much did mobile phones cost in the US back then? :D Though to be fair, he does say "fully subsidized", i.e. not actually retail price. I also had a much more expensive PDA/MDA, but again, those were marketed to business people, not as general replacements for mobile phones (no, I wasn't their target group - I just wrote software for all sorts of such "embedded" devices).

@@LuaanTi You said it yourself, anything that was in the same price range wasn't targeted as your average consumer but at businesses and businessmen. Your average cell phone users at the time was probably going to use a Nokia 3000 series phone. The last of which was launched in 2010 - and those were not expensive phones. Cheap and could last a decade. Frankly, had frequencies not changes with 3G and 4G and had smartphones not revitalized the market there would probably still be people out there using them. They were cheap and built to last. Modern smartphones, even if you get 5 years of software updates, you're still probably going to have to change the battery 3 years in if not earlier. But yeah, there were PDAs as expensive as what Apple was selling, I think HTC had stuff even pricier, but that wasn't aimed at Joe Average like the iPhone is.

he overestimated how many muskrats there are

@@Mish844 I like Musk, but why should I cancel Josh cause he has a different opinion than me on a person? I'm not that narrow-minded to cancel some1 cause we don't share the same opinion

yeah these right-wing nutjobs with their obsession for free speech... give it a rest, let government handle it! Right?

To be fair, Twitter wasn't savable in the first place. It was a mile-deep pit filled with venomous snakes before he bought it, and it's impossible to "fix" without getting rid of the snakes, filling in the pit, or preventing people from falling into it.

Is it really formally known as? At best it seems to be also known as, but given i dont know a single person who calls it x id go as far as to say primarily known as.

Yeah L take partially on this one. And all the stories about elon, I wanna hear it from his own mouth he did them.

Twitter was never worth 40 billion, just like those NFTs were never worth 100k a pop. People need to get off that nonsense.

It's a private company, he didn't buy it to just make money from it.

That's not even slightly a mystery. It was over-valued, Muskrat got suckered, and Twitter's former owners still can't believe they got away with the con job of the century in broad daylight for everyone to see. It's theorized that Musk only offered to buy Twitter in the first place so he could liquidate some of his Tesla stock without spooking the stock market then back out of the deal, but he accidentally committed himself and had to go through with it. As theories go, it's fairly plausible and pretty much benign.

@@insensitive919 Yeah, it's ridiculous how hard it is for some people to understand that you can't just take the value of a trade/bid on the market and multiply it by the number of shares _and_ get any useful number at all. Of course, many exploit that illusion for all it's worth.

The stupidest part is that he's most revered by guys that are like halfway through their engineering undergrad, meaning they are probably approximately as knowledgeable about any of this crap as he is

Nah, it would be a better world without MSM.

It's a radical leftist circle jerk but at least there's more free speech than any other platform.

Agreed.

Not enough it seems

@@VeylmanTheRock Well, he apparently had a very tough childhood, got bullied a lot. As a teen he got beaten up so bad, his nose was fucked for decades and he was in a Hospital for weeks. The boy went to prison for that. Just one example of his childhood

@@VeylmanTheRock please note, that this is from his biography, i wasnt around when it happened so...

he's super cringe, have you seen the memes he posts

@@eddiii4030 Fair point. However, I consider cringe funny, but delusion... dangerous.
