Elon The Snowflake Musk

People can not actually grasp so many people existing. We were never meant to live in such large societies, historically, we only had a tribe that consists of maximum ~150 people.

It has been scientifically proven that we can't hold effective social relations to a larger number of people. The exact limit is not clear afaik, but what this essentially means, in a community of millions, we abstract away groups of people into "the left", "the bourgeoisie", "the poor" which allows our brain to form social relations to these groups of people with the limited capacity it has, essentially treating each group as a single person.

Now of course, this abstraction is entirely inadequate, as each collection of people is always much more diverse than the abstract concept we use to replace them, and they aren't really single individuals, they don't act with a collective mind.

But most people do not understand this. They just work with these abstractions, these groups of people, as if they were real single people, because in some manner, it does work. If the abstraction actually groups correctly, then the ability to reason like this works decently well. But everyone is always wrong about these abstractions. They are always too general. They always fail to consider that there's not a single mind at work.

It's such an easy mistake to make. I see smarter people than Musk do it all the time. The enemy, like always, is missing knowledge, missing humility, missing self-awareness, unreasonable confidence, fear of the unknown/being wrong. All of which Musk falls into.

I don't see any solution but to educate about this whenever possible. To speak to people about it. To raise the education about stuff like this wherever, whenever we can. I'm trying to do my part.

He is named Elon after a character in a novel by Wernher von Braun. The boy had no chance.

Positive?

So.... we're helping him by taking about it? That just feels wrong.

And that's why you'd never be the richest person. Think about the qualities that lead one to become the richest person on earth. Really think about what that title represents. It's an unfathomable amount of wealth. Any sane, compassionate person would have funneled that into charity work and the well-being of others.

You see what I'm getting at?

They’re really going to be upset when their moms lose their social security and get foreclosed on rendering them basement less

If I got a billion dollars I would disappear so thoroughly people would think I'm dead.

Life is short as fuck. But getting all the money you need to live a happy, healthy, long life is as good as it can possibly get on earth. You did it, you won. You can either use it to make people happy or you can just disappear and try to enjoy the brief time you have left.

I don't get the motivation, desire and energy to do these massive public campaigns that focus the entire world's population on you every single day. It doesn't help anything or anyone and just causes stress. What is the purpose? It has to be some kind of delusion or mania, something gone wrong.

Honestly: Being a massive, public spokesperson for electric vehicles that had a huge following with the well-off nerds brought us where we are today with electric cars, I'm still convinced about that. But yeah, that's about the only thing I can think of.

I take issue with the presence of that bullet. It implies he has the space to have ever done a positive thing.

Like every conservative, he just hates that people have empathy for anybody but them

Nearly every modern nazi would end up in the camps by their own standards.

This is property #8 of fascist ideology.

It's even worse when you put it in quotes, that way web crawlers and search engines index the entire thing as a connected sentence or cited work, like: "Elon Musk is a nazi who has done nazi salutes repeatedly and shared nazi propaganda."

Like, that would be very wrong to keep spreading everywhere, that could really harm someone's reputation. So bad.

I engaged with one of his idiot followers who proclaimed Nazis were socialists. I suggested he run that theory by Grok if he was so certain.

wow been a while since this

He's not cartoonishly evil until he gets a pet cat and holds it all the time.

Right now he's just evil

For a short couple years Musk actually was doing legitimate engineering work at SpaceX. Yes it was high level, but it did involve proper work and deep understanding of the systems. And yeah, Shotwell had to stop him from making several critically bad decisions during that time (like canceling Falcon Heavy).

I know all the Musk haters will disagree with me on the idea he did contribute to the engineering, but it’s extremely well documented by both the employees at the time and spaceflight journalists.

But honestly before and after that, I can’t think of anything else he really did at a technical level though.

I would prefer him to be struck by a bolt of lightning as then the religious folks might see that as a smiting by god.
