    Everyone should hate Bill Gates, because he's one of the most awful humans on the planet, but he is undeniably way more intelligent than Musk. Gates has left a public legacy of charity and giving and kept his public image of "an actual brain genius" in tact despite how awful of a person he actually is. That's what real intelligence looks like. Meanwhile Musk goes out of his way day after day to demonstrate that he's got nothing coherent in his head whatsoever.

      i really wish more of them were melting down in this slow, simmering style that reveals how pathetic they are to the whole world.

      it just being elon gives off a vibe of "bad apple" too much i want to see a bunch of billionaires slowly losing their minds in the most public way possible. really lift the veil

      bill gates just has this swarmy "i have done awful things, gotten away with them, and theres nothing you worms can do about it" on his face every second and i hate it

    And this is just one tweet from his burner account. All of it is very sus, the man pretends to be a toddler online.

    What a fucking weirdo. No wonder he is friends with Ghislaine Maxwell.

    Man imagine having all the fucking money in the world and still being pathetic enough to do shit like this. Just retire from public life you damn fucking moron, society allows you to buy off a gigantic plot of land, build your stupid fucking mansion in it and live a life of luxury. Truly the most intelligent specimen in the "capitalist" species. Divorce really shatters some men huh?

      Most men are too fragile to handle the truth that they are a bad partner.

        as i've matured, i've come to realize that the vast majority of people in burgerland would immediately do [extreme self-harm] if they had to actually reckon with their treatment of other people.

          These are the same people who've spent the past sixty years fleeing even the idea of reparations for genocidal colonialism and slavery like they're trying to dodge child support; they'd implode if they ever had to reckon with the rest of the world.

      He already has all of that but what he really wants is to be funny on the Internet and he has squandered tens of billions of dollars in pursuit of it but he will never ever have it

        The worst/funniest part is that he had a huge following of techbros and "my whole identity is being an engineer" people, who hung by his every word, and he wasted it all because he needed to be loved by everyone.

    That tweet about laughing/crying emojis is so true. I see those laughably cringy emojis used most often when I rip a shitty take to shreds, and they want to mock me without using actual rhetoric to defend themselves.

      Fair but I'm genuinely excited for how a techbro in this neo-gilded age is demonstrating the abject lack of anything which the economy is built upon.

      All the talk of innovation and disruption, of how Elon Musk is some genius and not just a privileged trust fund baby marketing to other privileged trust fund babies (like the majority of the art and music world, going by market share), and how it's anything but a massive grift... of course it's horrific and ultimately tragicomic but at the same time we are rapidly approaching a massive emperor-has-no-clothes moment with regards to Elon himself, the industries he represents, and the US economy itself (at least to a certain degree).

      Y'know it's like the Elizabeth Holmes Theranos sorta thing or the Enron thing where there were knowledgeable experts sounding the alarm at the time but people ignored it because of the anarchy of the market and slick PR and the gaming of the economic system - on the outside looking in it's quite obvious what's going on and the underlying pathology in the political economy that gives rise to these phenomena but in the moment so many people get duped.

      I think that people will look back on Elon Musk as an utter charlatan and a disaster, and hopefully it will provide people with insight into how the US economy actually functions, and to me that's a pretty exciting prospect. So I look on at Elon with excitement over what he might bring with him.

      When Elon Musk first started talking about stepping down from Twitter, I had a discussion with a comrade. They said that they hoped Elon would step back from Twitter. I said that I hope he stays on leading Twitter because it risks him destroying his reputation and collapsing his empire and so even back then I saw his gross mismanagement of Twitter as an absolute win.

      I'm no accelerationist but if capitalism is doing the accelerationism then I'm only concerned with doing what I can to mitigate the harm it inflicts on the proles; I do not care for curbing the self-destructive excesses of capitalism itself.

    That should be Putin, no? Dude invading a country because he couldn’t get over his wife leaving him. Can Musk even compete with that?

      Don't know about the source of the tweet, since he took the account down right as discovery began for this case, but here's info about the case and deposition: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-musk-didnt-want-his-latest-deposition-released-here-it-is_n_66133d2ce4b0d81853f9a766

      People have known about that account for a couple years. It had stuff like wanting to goto a night club but not being old enough to go, but golly it sure sounds like fun.

      Here's clips from a year ago.
