Elon Musk <- For the people filtering the name
He’s not that competent, in either incarnation.
Back then he had a PR team. He probably fired them because he started buying their lies.
He never was not a villain.
Maybe. But he was seen as a competent person. I remember when SpaceX started testing the “reusable” rockets that landed themselves. He was a lot more “popular” back then
I’m man enough to admit that I thought he was the closest thing we had to Tony Stark even though I knew at the time he wasn’t really that close to Tony Stark, and now I know just how wrong I was. Damn.
Round Iron Man 2 coming out and his cameo, I kinda felt that way too. Some 2-4 years later that feeling was entirely gone.
Thanos is not much of a tweaker though.
But Thanks did nothing wrong, he was the good guy in that story. Misunderstood, but he had the right idea.
BLUE MAGA MODS DELETE THIS FOR RULE 2!!!
LOL
Comparing him to Tony Stark and Thanos is giving him too much credit. He’s more like
If you get into the actual comic books, you’ll find out that Tony Stark is regularly portrayed as a sex pest, a substance abuser, and an outspoken fascist.
But, unlike the real Elon Musk, I don’t believe he’s ever been written as “full of pee”. Incidentally, ketamine abuse does result in bladder ulcers that leak urine into your body until you are quite literally poisoning yourself with your own urine.
Just something to think about.
I always saw Musk as a dumbass who didn’t know what he was doing.
Never fell for this BS. Fuck elmo and fuck ironman too. No platform for fascism.
Was more or less aware of who he was until the cave incident where all his worse tendencies came to light with enough reach to get to me.
Then some research later, I was aware of tech bros and their ilk.
No on is looking at elon like that,and no one ever did
I hate to break it to the people 10 years ago, but Musk has always been a horrible person
And the Blue MAGA fascist-lite party vultures see a chance…
Disgusting.

I remember in the very early days not getting the full ‘hype’ of “MUSK IS SO SMART”, but I enjoyed him as a “This is what happens when some ordinary dweeb becomes incredibly wealthy - he wants to throw money at space and technology. That’s neat.”
His PR guys must’ve done a good job at keeping the worst of his tendencies behind closed doors - or at least further than most casual observers would look. Around the time of the ‘pedo guy’ incident it began to unravel for me. Curious that a social media addiction undid all the work of his PR team.
I think he genuinely changed as well though. Sure, some of the stuff people believe was obviously wrong in hindsight, but his unhinged tweets just weren’t a thing 10 years ago.
The way he removed the original founders of Tesla and have himself the title of founder says otherwise, he was never a nice human being.
Here’s the Blue MAGA hindsight.
And this gets deleted by the mods here for ‘no politics’.
As if the post itself isn’t.
HypocritesYeah, he was always an idiot, but I remember reading a super interesting article about how he accidentally radicalized himself when he changed X’s algorithm. He tweaked it to be far right, and radicalized himself because he’s one of the most active users on the platform. FAFO.
