Nah he's Justin Hammer: a failure of a CEO trying to be Tony Stark.

Thanos was way more relatable than Elon though.

Well I'd like to thank you. I've been considering watching that movie because my friend wouldn't shut up about it. Now that I know Ed Norton is in it I can say fuck that and avoid it at all possible costs.

Not to spoil it, but edward norton does a good job of playing an unlikeable main character. It was silly but fun and worth the watch i think.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah well he also does a great job at being an unlikeable human too. I'll pass.

Are we hating Edward Norton now? What did he do?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (7 children)

He was basically blacklisted from a huge section of Hollywood for pulling what I'd refer to as a Chevy Chase. Only difference is that Ed retained his talent. No shortage of reporting on it either. It's why he ran off to the tech world for a hot second. People just don't want to work with him. Personally I've had a run in with him too, or been in the same area anyway. He was getting angry with some barrista that they didn't recognize him and give him the drink for free. Was at that point I decided to purposefully never give him any attention because the motherfucker clearly has too much if that went that far to his head.

Lmao why? It wasn't as good as the first but still reasonably good.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Haven't seen the first one either. I'm not big on movies for some reason. Can watch a season of a show in a day or two but can't watch a movie

Thanos has a level of composure, forethought, and planning that I don't associate with Musk. I'd say he's more like Loki in the first Avengers movie: emotional, destructive, and in way over his head.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

Nah, Loki at least has a plan. He's more like Pierce Hawthorne from Community. A guy who can't seem to get along with anybody, who desperately wants to be cool, failing constantly, but who uses his money to make up for that.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

This so resonates with me, I used to think he was amazing. Now I wouldn’t buy a Tesla because of the petulant man-child.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 7 months ago (1 children)

There was a group people who saw through his bullshit back then. I deeply regret dismissing them.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago

I remember him being portrayed as this genius who had a good grasp of every technical subject he was interested in by reading books 24/7. I am gonna admit, I did kind of find it plausible at the time.

It is funny how ridiculous that now sounds after seeing his interviews, social media messages, leaked internal emails and such.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The fuck does this even mean

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Elon Musk used to be cool and impressive. At one point in his past he fired Tesla's public relations team. Now people find Musk very uncool. This meme proposes that the becoming uncool was due to his firing the Tesla PR team.

I think it was more that the money affected him, and he shows too much of his bad behaviour and incorrect beliefs on his social media site which he wrecked

Watch Iron Man 2, not even Tony wants to interact with Elon.

If you want to post it as an image you format it like this (without the . In between)

Nah Thanos was a cool villian. Musk is Syndrome.

He wanted to be a cool superhero, but he sucks at it so he's angry and became a villian.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

More like a want to be Syndrome

[–] [email protected] 102 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (3 children)

Syndrome was at least somewhat sympathetic, you can see how he got to where he was. Musk is more like Tighten, a loser who lucked into his "power" and abuses it thinking he's owed and still thinks he's a hero

[–] [email protected] 30 points 7 months ago

yep this is the most accurate, Titan is stupid arrogant and his power was completely by fluke. Sums up Musk precisely. good job.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

You're absolutely spot on with Tighten!

~~Your image link is broken though, fyi~~

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Fixed, had the syntax for the markup backwards
