- Dude isn’t even efficient at his own jobs. Supposedly works 100 hour weeks. Can’t delegate.
- Dude accepts government handouts for his companies. Can’t finance his own ideas or ventures.
- Dude purchased a company as a joke and lost money/revenue streams/users/entire countries. Can’t even reduce costs while maintaining the things that make him money.
- Dude used his most profitable venture as leverage for the joke purchase. Can’t even make a joke purchase without endangering his best known and most profitable company.
At what point has this guy been efficient at anything but conning the government out of money and grifting genuinely smart people into working at his companies.
I mean controlling media sure shows if you’re right about all this considering he’s supposedly on track to be the world’s first trillionaire in under a couple years - ok just over 2 years
How to do efficiency:
Step 1) take over corporation/government entity and fire everybody who is getting paid. Strain the rest way beyond their breaking point until they can’t deliver anymore either.
Now you may be thinking “won’t this completely destroy the company’s ability to even function?”, and you’d be right, but that’s fine as long as you
Step 2) blame the liberals.
Step 3) ???
Step 4) Profit!
You forgot the precursor steps to step 1.
-
Complain about government budgets/taxes/the deficit/etc
-
Reduce/stagnate funding for critical programs
-
Critical programs begin to fail
-
Blame the left/liberals/socialists/communists/other boogeymen
-
Take over government entity

What a fucking dickhead
He’s shilling Dogecoin, that’s all. He needs some simps to be his bagholders that’s all.
Eh, that meme came and went. It does give him plausible deniability for this reference though:
FYI: Elon Musk on his crypto portfolio: I only own bitcoin, ether and dogecoin
He sits on a pile of Doge that’s worth less than half of what he paid. He was never shy of manipulating stock or (crypto)currency valuations as there are never legal consequences for him. Let’s see if enough of his horde of simps is dumb enough to be his bag holders of Doge.
Is that picture AI-generated? Has that weirdly plastic look
also doesn’t look like a troglodyte, it’s definitely fake
It’s all he does now.
Powered by klorbulon-x Ai or some shit
Whats it actually called? I know the real name is equally as stupid.
Grok, yeah it’s stupid.
🥲
To be fair, Musk does also have a weird plastic look in real pictures…
Where is the burn? 53 is the age you are supposed to have a midlife crisis.
I imagine this is what would happen if you gave a five year old billions
To play Devil’s advocate isn’t he autistic?
He embraced that concept in the same way a lot of people do, as a perceived superpower of being smart. Note he particularly claimed to have Asperger’s nearly a decade after the DSM removed it as a distinct diagnosis. People flocked to Asperger’s as a self diagnosis of “Autism light, I’m an asshole, but it’s ok because I have a condition, but I don’t have any real downsides because it’s not ‘full’ Autism”.
Now with it gone as an official diagnosis, people still embrace high functioning autistic as some sort of badge of honor/superpower and explanation for why they can be assholes. So you continue to have ton of people self-diagnosing to rationalize a more comfortable, lazy interaction with the world. “neurodivergent” is cool because it has the word “divergent” in it, and who would be so lame as to be “neurotypical”, which is used almost as a slur among folks eager to self-diagnose autism.
In short, I’m not particularly inclined to put much stock in anyone’s self-proclamation of autistic. I’ve seen people struggling with it for real and I frankly find it a bit offensive how a lot of internet people have flocked to bragging about their “autism” given how much struggle people have with the condition.
This pretty much sums up the Elon in my mind
He’s clearly autistic, and not everyone is “faking” it. Stop being an asshole, like him.
Most autistic people still act like adults
That’s no excuse for being a raging asshole.
Is an inflated sense of self importance a symptom of autism? Of course there is also the “I have lots of money therefore whatever I think is by default true” which I would not associate with autism but more with second generation billionaires who manage to convince themselves that their success is solely a result of their skills and competence.
Oh my Fuck I thought that was a meme that someone made.
Imagine being hyped that your chosen candidate literally lets you buy a government agency to run. Pathetic.
This is the prequel to The Terminator, where he travels into the past to prevent Sarah Conner from having an abortion, so he can later travel back from the future to kill her son.
Very rich (hah) for a guy who uses government funds to build his explodey space rockets.
Not the greatest example, imo.
SpaceX has been very consistent in delivering on its government contracts with far more cost efficiency than any of its competitors.
The most glaring example is the Commercial Crew Program. They were given far less money than Boeing, and it looks like they might end up being the sole US provider of commercial crew to the ISS.
Starship HLS (moon lander starship) is government funded, but core Starship is not, it’s financed with private equity - so the rocket explosions haven’t been on the taxpayers’ dime.
That all said, Elon doesn’t really run SpaceX, Gwynne Shotwell does - which is probably the smartest business decision Elon has ever made.
SpaceX has been very consistent in delivering on its government contracts
“Better than Boeing” is very low bar, ATM. But SpaceX technology appears to be lagging India - which put a probe into Marsian orbit for $75M a full ten years ago - and Russians - whose Soyuz rocket continues to provide the cheapest LEO lift at $3800/kg.
SpaceX is in the traditional American contractor model of Late and Overbudget. What’s more they don’t pay their bills on time.
As an American firm, they’re the best of the worst. Intentionally, they’re experimenting with interesting techniques, but they aren’t outcompeting their global peers.
We don’t care about your stock price or dividends.
What’s that got to do with anything? SpaceX isn’t traded and doesn’t pay dividends.
Then why are so many people dickriding it?
The company is impressive technically, I guess? I don’t know really. Like I wrote before, Shotwell is running it, not Mr ego personified, so maybe the shine hasn’t worn off like it did for Tesla and Twitter for some people?
I like what they’ve achieved, I think that it will moticate for ULA and Boeing to ‘do better’ and they’ve proved its possible to succeed at a number of rocket technologies that had been previously written off, like cost effective reusability and full flow staged combustion.
That said, I’m not going to be upset if ULA pulls ahead of them, or if Rocket Lab has a huge win, or if ArianeSpace decides that it’s time to stop sitting on their hands. I’m a fan of space technology, and I don’t particularly care which company advances the cause.
I’ll never get over people comparing this man to Tony Stark.
It wasn’t a burn, it was just the obvious truth.
Wouldn’t that mean a bigger government?
The man has no shame, you got to troll him
Easiest way to troll Elon Musk is to say the word “cisgender” in earshot
Nah, that wouldn’t make him look weak to his supporters, that’s what most leftist don’t get.
You can’t insult them on your level, you have to insult things they actually care about.
Hence calling them weird and its effectiveness.
Lol, it’s amazing how much calling them “weird” then ignoring them drives trumpets nuts.
My go-to steps:
-
Mention the couch
-
Wait till freak about it’ll not being true
-
Tell them they’re being too weird to continue to talk to and ignore them.
-
Profit

A 53 year old man trying to meme like 30 year olds did a decade ago. He isn’t bussin no cap, this is the equivalent of a rage comic, but with him applying for a currently nonexistent financial leadership position in donOLD’s cabinet.
Fuckin weird af
