Elon Musk

One might even say he has been shook

ain't no such thing as halfway musks

Update on @elonmusk’s promise to “fund fixing the water in any house in Flint that has water contamination above FDA levels”.

He now says “most houses in Flint have safe water” and he will “add filters” to the houses he describes as “outliers”.

yeah I mean the trick is, as I have learned, a bunch of older homes have lead supply lines. under normal water flow, with the protectant additives, they don’t leach enough lead to be a problem — under EPA regs

but there’s non-lead (fine), lead that never had corrosive water and had protectants (mostly ok), and those that had corrosive water with no protectants for months but are now back to baseline (flint)

I think the latter is bouncing around EPA acceptable on the bad side and Elon stuck his foot in mouth

honesty I had half my supply line replaced this year and the under-street part is prob lead but not leaching and I am starting to really look into it

Catching up on this, and now imagining an Ace In The Hole remake centering on a fictionalized Musk in Douglas role.

feel like when Elon Musk's story is written it'll pinpoint the article calling him the "real life Tony Stark" as the exact moment everything went downhill

I would pay good money to see him try to fly around with rocket boots and no safety harness

everyone knows the true real-life tony stark is that guy who built a backyard rocket and blasted himself towards the stratosphere so he could prove the earth was flat

still pretty sure he just grifted the flat earthers in order to build his rocket. respectable grift imo

musk is the rockwell character tbh

xp

Hughes only recently converted to flat-Eartherism, after struggling for months to raise funds for his follow-up flight over the Mojave.

one weird fact about the billionaire environmentalist

Is it possible to put the thinky face emoji in bold type

you have to admit that musk is in the ninety-ninth percentile as a self-promoter. he has the knack for making pronouncements just weird enough to get big play in the media, not so weird he loses the faith of the investor class, but which generally hit the sweet spot of "brilliant eccentric"

it's almost as if the media is easily gamed by billionaires

Potentially a positive development if disillusioned groupies start thinking critically re hero worshipping obscenely wealthy entrepreneurs

elton johns

That’s no way to refer to grimus

"these billionaires sure are amazing at media" --the media

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/thai-cave-rescue-elon-musk-mini-submarine-british-driver-tham-luang-vern-unsworth-a8447166.html

“The submarine, I believe, was about five foot six long, rigid, so it wouldn’t have gone round corners or round any obstacles.

“It wouldn’t have made the first 50 metres into the cave from the dive start point. Just a PR stunt.”

The experienced cave explorer said Musk was “asked to leave very quickly” after he turned up at the caverns during the rescue operation on Tuesday.

Brit diver who helped locate the lost party says Musk can 'stick his submarine (which looks like an oversized suppository) where it hurts'

guy who helped save kids points out EM’s thing was an unworkable publicity stunt... EM calls the guy a pedophile. we are weeks away from “Enron Musk” headlines https://t.co/WArAW4Gxdb

starting to think this guy might be problematic tbh

Oh no this is gorgeous

His suckage gets more classic on a daily basis

Kinda strange to consider now that only a few weeks ago grimus fans were extremely betrayed that the empress of shitpostcore would deign to date him

Never saw this British expat guy who lives in Thailand (sus) at any point when we were in the caves. Only people in sight were the Thai navy/army guys, who were great. Thai navy seals escorted us in — total opposite of wanting us to leave.

You know what, don’t bother showing the video. We will make one of the mini-sub/pod going all the way to Cave 5 no problemo. Sorry pedo guy, you really did ask for it.

what a scumbag

that's gotta be actionable

Yes, have fun suing the insanely rich person.

Slam dunk libel case in the British courts.

Which drugs do we think he’s on?

mixture of cocaine and grown adults unironically calling him batman/iron man

The thing that really bugs me about Musk is how unspecial he is. Union-fearing dweebs with either a serious coke habit, some freak diet, or both, along with reactionary politics, megalomania, and breathtaking self-regard are nothing special, esp in the tech sector. Really the only difference is his visibility, willingness to say stupid shit in public, and his immense army of extremely online sycophants.

suspect many of them may be controlled by a pr firm, theres something uncanny about how they all pop up saying the same shit

he's actually rich enough to have a cocaine habit

He’s definitely petty enough to hire a pr firm to stroke him off on Twitter

less stroking off, more stroking out pls elton

elon musk go to mars bitch

That may be so re his Twitter fluffers but the uncritical cult is real, I have encountered them

yeah hes def actually popular irl but just something about the pattern on twitter makes me suspicious

Elon Musk more like Noel Skum

damn

It's comforting to think the lackeys are paid/controlled but no, a lot of people really do just admire him and will defend his honor against fiendish literal hero rescue divers. People say the same shit a lot cause they're dumb and parrot the same shit, no different from people who @ commies and socialists with posts that literally just say "Venezuela"

It’s funny when you see on Twitter someone is arguing with some dumb as a bathtub maga chud & then someone else runs their posts thru a bot checker & it’s 90% and they’re like aha! but it’s like... stupid people post like that
