That's weird: Musk and Trump are doing exactly what one would if they were Russian assets, bent on destroying western alliances... You don't have to believe all the evidence that they are... Just imagine that these 2 billionaires are compromised. What would they do at this exact moment in history...?

I don't like Putin, but he's a black belt judoka additionally trained in combat by the russian secret services.

He could fuck that misshapen walrus pool toy without even getting out of breath.

Putin is just as full of shit as Elon is.

Mofos couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag.

I was tricked by Musk into believing his lies before he started to endorse Trump 2.0. I feel stupid now. The sociopathic tendencies are undeniable.

I can actually pinpoint the exact moment I became disillusioned with Elon Musk. It was back in like 2014 or 2015. I also thought he was a genius until I saw him talk about whether or not we live in a simulation. He said something to the affect of "if we are to assume that it's possible for technology to progress to the point of simulating universes indistinguishable from our own then the possibility of us living in a prime universe is one in billions." A bunch of people at the time ate that shit up but I immediately recognized that he pulled that shit out of his ass given that the whole thing is predicated on a giant assumption that by all accounts isn't even likely like at all and that there is absolutely no basis whatsoever for the 'billions' figure. Ever since then it's been blatantly obvious to me that he mostly doesn't know what he's talking about 90% of the time. And when he does know what he's talking about he's willfully deceitful in order to try to manipulate everyone.

I remember a comment on Reddit from someone claiming to belong to Musk's PR team that said they worked incredibly hard to cultivate his image. But they had just been fired as Musk was tired of being controlled, and kept from doing and saying crazy things. This person said the world would soon see just how much of a. all-around monster Musk really was. I didn't believe them at all at the time, Musk was a genius who was going to save humanity! It really makes me wonder about the actual person behind most of these figures and celebrities.

My life policy is that if someone or something is too hyped,popular, trendy or loved it's usually shit

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

It's a safe bet and the worst that can happen is something good. Ironic.
