The Elon Musk Thread

[version]

you didnt watch the joe rogan interview? thought you'd be all over that.

I've seen the clip where he pretends to smoke the joint, but nothing other than that. I imagine the tone of that one's very different as I can't see Rogan being adversarial.

"hella" is kind of cringe here (no offense, HMG, you wouldn't know local context), even worse if spoken as opposed to written. often used by douche-y people on twitter who think they're much cooler than they are.

In England - as here - "no offence" is ALWAYS followed up with a brutal, cutting insult.

Several times today I've seen a video of Elon dancing (well, shuffling around with his hands in the air like any other overweight, overage sweaty bastard) in the crowd at some mega-party event type thing. Can't find it on youtube though.

I'd never really seen him interviewed until recently. He comes off as a total oddball, like watching an awkward, edgy teenager thinking he's outfoxing a teacher.

I think its Botox. The whole top quarter of his head is not moving.

It adds to the weird lack of affect. Nothing matters.

good observation

it's great that he describes bellingcat as a company that does psy-ops and gets no pushback on it though

There's something very appealing in the idea that people in positions of power and/or great wealth are robots or aliens pretending to be human. The whole 'lizard-people' thing. Obviously it shades into antisemitism very easily but it can give rise to great memes.
