        He truly is the most divorced dad in the world.

        He even has sock puppet alts post pictures of LLM-conjured children hugging him because his own actual kids mostly hate him.

      One of my chuddiest relatives, who is also a my-hero stan and devoted Gambohead, only recently started obsessing about steampunk shit.

              He has a self-described "man cave" that hasn't had guests in like a decade because he's that offputting, like telling old men at a dinner party about how extensive his Skyrim naked/sex mod collection is (sort of like a poorer Notch), so in a way, sort of.

      How long until Tesla launches its first gas powered pickup truck to own the libs and it’s called the “Vivian.” Not only to signify gamergate but as a jab at Rivian?

    The doge meme is laughable but what's more ridiculous is he thinks he can make an organization more efficient. No, working your engineers with unpaid overtime so much that it's routinely expected they'll quit in 6 months and land a better job is not efficient. Being forced to buy an overpriced, unprofitable website for $44 billion when your pump and dump scheme failed is not efficient. Losing all your market share on electric vehicles because you farmed out tax credits to your competitors without scaling up production in your 10 year head start is not efficient. I almost hope that he does get his pet Department made so he can fail even more publicly than he already has.

      he thinks he can make an organization more efficient

      He turned Twitter from a 44 billion purchase to a 10 billion and dropping liability and his narcissism compels him to go bigger than that.

    I take it Milei in Argentina is the equivalent of Elongated Muskrat here in amerikkka

    So to get an idea of what it would look for melon-musk to get any kind of position in US Gov't, we should look at Argentina - with ancaptain being the worst case scenario.

    Do I have that correct?

    EDIT: Just wanted to add, Milei fucks his sister.

      I think the comparison is apt, though I wonder if Milei's stans see him as a humanity saving super genius or not.

      I do know he shares the hobby of posting glorified versions of himself made by LLM treat printers... like showing himself as a Terminator punching old people seeking retirement benefits.

          He's really digging into that idea, too.

            “I’m the one who destroys the state from within. It’s like having infiltrated enemy lines,” he declared.

            This MF went wholly mask off, I see. Ironic since part of what got him elected was him wearing a mask and full weirdo cosplay to comic cons.

            Pray for Argentina, I guess. Or you know, someone there can do some fedposting

              That's actually pretty clever of him to say though, that way, when he destroys Argentina's economy and makes the country collapse, it isn't incompetence, it's 4d chess!

    The last 3 years have conditioned me to see anyone posting Doge, or who has Doge as avatar as an absolute loser. At best.

              Why don't they just go and J/O to some Hajime Sorayama pictures?

            I think I've said this before, but if Cyberpunk as a genre was just getting started now it would be about China instead and would be even more racist. Like the role of Japanese corporations in Cyberpunk was largely anxiety over Japan's tech industry competing with American industry and nativist fears that they'd turn around and dominate the US instead of remaining a client state, but it also had a fair bit of fetishism and was taking inspiration from Japanese Cyberpunk media as well.

            If it were just now forming it would be nothing but frothing hatred and fear of China becoming a hegemon on par with what the US has been, and probably made up of like 90% weird bullshit redditors have memed themselves into believing.

              Cyberpunk always had a techno-orientalist problem. There's a reason why 99% of "real-life cyberpunk city" is just some city in east or southeast Asia.

    FWIW, the man is laundering mad stacks of cash this way.
