I did not see this published outside of India. But not sure why. It’s all based on Xitter.
Good. I hope he spirals out quickly and with minimal damage to anyone but himself.
I hope it all progresses faster
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
Yeah. He could fuck off and never have to speak to another person or do anything he didn’t want to do if he wanted with just a tiny fraction of his wealth. He doesn’t have to be this way. He chose it. He’s like a child breaking things for attention.
Not saying he deserves pitty or anything, but depression doesn’t depend on outside things and events. He could do what you say and still be depressed. Have no problems in the world and still be depressed. Turn into a golden god of love and still be depressed. It’s in the brain.
So then fucking be depressed and leave the rest of us out of it. The fact that he’s making it everyone else’s problem is what makes him an asshole.
Agreed!
As a person who has had their fair share of “close calls,” I’m calling it out because he’s using it as an excuse and a reason for pity. I have severe depression. I do not go out of my way to make everyone else’s life worse because I have depression. My family does not allow me to make their lives harder because I have depression. I’m still responsible for my actions. So fuck his depression specifically. But o do get what you’re saying.
I agree. Depression is not an excuse. I was only correcting a point.
If he is actually afflicted with clinical depression he should be seeking out competent medical assistance for his condition.
Even in America, he should be able to afford that.
I think it’s less about sympathy and more about understanding what lead him to this point.
You can analyze why a “normal” person did monstrous things without shedding a tear for them. One day someone will make “Zone of Interest” about billionaires living in their bunkers, cleaning air filters from human ash.
Also calling it stress is so fucking gross when normal people have to deal with soul crushing extisence of inadequate food, housing and life of wage slavery, and he’s just upset cause his world domination plans makes people say mean things to him.
I don’t think you know what depression is. Little correlation with outside circumstances is one of the traits.
People show you who they really are when they can do anything they want. Elon is failing at it much worse than someone who sits on the couch and does weed all day.
Their vices all run the same direction: They do the things that are forbidden to we poors. They get off on the power of getting away with the taboo and illegal. The only time they’re held to account is if they fuck over one of their own. Epstein wasn’t brought down because he was a pedo, he was taken down because he was blackmailing the rich. Madoff stole from the rich.
Good point. I never looked at it that way.
I expect the problem is that, when you get that rich, people stop caring about you, they start caring about your money. A string of women who just smash a kid out for him then fuck off. Kids who don’t seem to want anything to do with him. Does he have anyone he actually considers a true friend? Probably not. He’s just surrounded by bootlickers and yes men, and deep down he knows it. He’s probably deeply lonely and paranoid.
Not that I care. He’s also a cunt.
If he wasn’t a cunt then maybe I’d care but he makes it so easy to enjoy his own suffering.
Yeah, but in order to get to such a position, you can’t be a normal person with normal boundaries and interpersonal relationships. He was just born Elon and he will die Elon.
I said this long ago on Lemmy. I pity him. He has nothing of value.
If shit hit the fan I have many around me who love me and want me to succeed. I have 3 kids who rely on me and love me deeply. I have coworkers who love me. I have family who love me. I also love all these people back immensely.
What he has is stuff. Stuff leaves you cold and empty inside. He has no one who loves him. He’s probably a cold, cruel and heartless person when he’s alone and I bet he’s alone a lot. No one loves him for who he is.
Seriously he’s the richest man in the world and he’s so small. He deserves our pity nothing more.
I agree, except for the pity. I could no more pity him than I could a bloated parasite or leach feeding on my own children.
he looks like a doll with dead soulless empty eyes.
Yeah I get it. To many people they are past the pity phase. I struggled myself putting that. He is a broken man tearing the world down because deep down he is hurt. Hurt people hurt people.
He has thought the whole rest of the world are NPC characters for his whole life. He is an unbelievable asshole that deserves zero pity. Don’t tolerate those that don’t tolerate others in its purest form.
Don’t mistake my pity with my wanting justice. There is no excuse for him being an insufferable asshole that has negatively impacted the lives of so many people.
I am simply stating that I understand him to be a small man and in that I have pity.
I understand, but disagree. Pity is something reserved for those that are redeemable. Musk is one of the irredeemable at this point, too evil imo.
Stuff leaves you cold and empty inside. He has no one who loves him.
This is very apparent when you look at his falling out with his daughter. She basically pointed all this out, and that he couldn’t just make up for being a shitty dad for years and years by one time “Look, I sold all my stuff!” type gestures.
But “stuff” is literally all he knows, and so when he was called out on it, it seems to have absolutely broken him and now he’s on this massive anti-trans crusade as a way of getting back at her.
“There’s no cure for being a cunt.” -Ser Bronn of the Blackwater
one of his nicknames is also space karen.
I know the perfect cure: a vacation to Mars on a Starship. It would remove any depression and drug addiction.
Wealth doesn’t heal old wounds. You can be the most powerful man in the world and not feel in control.
He needs a good therapist not a biographer.
Just when I was starting to feel some sympathy for him I googled “Elon Musk therapy” and this was the first thing to come up…
“Guys would rather upend the world economy and peace in a ketamine bender than go to therapy”
I would never defend Elon, but therapy ain’t for everybody. I gave it a good honest try and my therapist fired me.
Finding the right therapist is somewhere between doing job interviews and going on tinder dates with the intention of an LTR. It’s hard work and it sucks and most people will not be the right person. I think people get the idea that therapists are this magical authority figure who represents “therapy” as a whole. There are so many styles of therapy to choose from and people with in those styles. They are humans with a skill to share, you need the right human with the right skill.
This is going to sound completely fucked up but I’m going to say it anyway. I told my psychiatrist this and she looked disgusted. Anyway- I feel like I’m too smart for therapy to work.
If you’re too smart for therapy you’re probably the perfect candidate for Jnana Yoga: The Path of Self-Inquiry.
I do enjoy yoga.
Finding a good match isn’t easy but it’s crucial.
imagine ruining people’s lives so you can have all the money, only for you to still be miserable. dont get me wrong im happy he is.
the parable of ‘money can’t buy you happiness’ plays out over and over in capitalist societies, yet no one ever learns their lesson from it.
psychedelic drugs taught me so many important lessons so long ago. i don’t know how these people (who claim to take the same drugs) never seem to ‘get it’.
They did a study and money can buy happiness but it caps out after the point it allows you chances to travel and take stress free time off. Being poor literally shortens people’s lives through misery.
So what we have is a man whom money will make as happy as he will ever get and remains miserable plunging people into a deficit of security through his actions. He’s infectiously miserable and someone needs to quarantine him.
yeah, i usually say that its not money buying happiness, its lack of money causing unhappiness.
This is why I advocate for a ‘band of wealth’, regarding the income and wealth of people. Everyone should get universal benefits that ensure survival and wellbeing, while money is for buying luxuries and lifestyle upgrades. Income and wealth obeys certain limits, to ensure no one obtains a level of money or resources beyond a certain point. It would be a bit arbitrary, but fiat money is already purely a thing based on belief. Might as well make a UBI economic system that leverages belief to make life better for every single person.
What does the richest man in history have to stress about. He doesn’t know the meaning of real stress. The pansy.
I do think he has stress, but it’s self-induced. He’s clearly mentally unwell. Honestly, makes me think of that BoJack Horseman episode where you hear his inner monologue throughout the show and it’s just things comments directed at himself like, “you piece of shit.”, “You’re so fat”, etc.
Not an excuse at all for his actions, but I do really think that’s what’s going on. He hates himself. Needs constant validation. But no amount of validation is going to soothe his inner monologue. So he’s spiraling while his stress continues to grow.
Side note: K. Flay/'s song in that episode was really well used.
100%
That people will use him or hurt him for his wealth. It’s almost like people are that desperate to have a tiny fraction of his money… if only there was a solution.
drug induced stress. cocaine making him stay up all day making hundreds of tweets every few days.
Can’t happen fast enough.
Sorry Seth.
Pretty sure no actually cares about him anymore. He is just like Trump, a vessel to ‘win’.
Don’t forget this guy bragged a few years back about not sleeping or sleeping in his office. Let’s not discount how years of sleep deprivation has probably influenced his chaotic behavior.
It’s prolly the drugs keeping him awake
Even on LSD you have to eventually stop playing Overwatch.
I don’t buy that shit for a second. He can’t tell the truth if he wanted to. Back when he made these claims, overwatch just launched and he spend all day on twitter telling people he works 20 hours a day, plays a lot of overwatch, binges 6 different animes, and spends a lot of time with his family.
spends a lot of time with his family.
Well, the rest of them are probably true, but we know this definitely isn’t the case.
his 3 children, ketamine, alcohol, and cocaine.
Soon as he starts foaming at the mouth, call animal control to come and lop his head off for the rabies study
Burn that shit down
“Elon Didn’t Kill Himself”
Oh please, I’d like to be part of that investigation. Not that I care who would’ve done it, only that is happened.
