He should have changed Twitter’s name to Gaslight.
Do fashy things and the left will attack you. That is just how it is. Dude is such a child.
Did musk actually post that? First time I want to post something he posted.
Does Hunger Games, Star Wars, and the Matrix all incorporate a plot of “good guys win, get complacent, government goes back to fascism and they have to defeat it again only it is harder this time around because they are old and people question if doing the same thing again will lead to the same results?”
Is Musk actually operating under the belief that the literal government is “the resistance” or is he just pretending? I think he might be delusional enough to actually believe it
This is also missing the comment where in none of those movies was the richest man in the world a good guy.
this usually when elon starts sober up from his drugs, just before he takes more.
absolutely batshit crazy levels of delusion.
does the richest man in the world think… the “resistance” is… tech billionaires?
does he believe the group recklessly wielding sweeping executive powers, directing raids of homes and schools, imprisoning, threatening, black bag kidnapping dissenters off the street, and deploying the military to the borders… that they are the resistance?!
i know playing the victim is a standard gaslighting fascist rhetorical maneuver… but if he really thinks of himself as a “rebel” outsider. god help us. this man’s continued metabolic equilibrium puts us all in grave danger.
No one believes themselves to be villains. Hollywood has ruined everybody with their black and white delineations between “good” and “evil”. And of course, we as a whole have eaten up the lie; Musk claiming to be the resistance - in my eyes - proves this.
To be fair, one of the points of the Hunger Games was that the rebels were just as bad as the Capitol. Maybe that’s the resistance he identifies with.
Melon is just Cypher
Are you kidding me?
America is literally the Galactic Empire. The Matrix is literally capitalism. The capitol is literally America/Capitalism. I didnt watch the others.
Who if not the (almost?) richest man of earth is the king of capitalism?
Yeah, no. The Galactic Empire brought order to the galaxy (and a little bit of mass murder). The US has done far worse, and any good we were doing like USAID is being reversed by our small pp energy dictator.
My kin here really tryin claim the Galactic Empire is worse than the USA?
Dont get me wrong, America has been committing crimes against their own and foreign people and holds a firm exploitative grip on the earth. But the Empire destroys planets, actively (not conveniently) exterminates people and enslaves them. They wipe out religions, and are an outright dictatorship for 20 years.
Weren’t buffalos shot to starve natives?
Did I say America committed no crimes? Don’t inflate my argument
The OG Star Wars is literally an allegory for the Vietnam War where the Vietcong are the rebels, with sci-fi nazi aesthetics (and space wizards). The USA is quite literally the Galactic Empire in that metaphor.
Annihilating an entire planet is fine as long as there is order?
The Empire blew up a planet.
I’m fairly certain Death Star and Death Star II are allegories for nuclear bombs dropped on Japan.
I have no source - just college lit classes.
No… those are all the literal meaning of metaphorical.
I was going to say The Matrix was ackshually a closeted trans allegory, but it turns out it’s both (but also, whatever you want it to be, kinda).
He didn’t actually see any of those movies. He just paid someone to watch them for him
He asked grok for a summary
Entirely seriously, I have been listening to many right wing Star Wars fans, since the 90s, make very serious arguments that the Empire were actually the good guys, that Agent Smith from the Matrix is actually a good guy just doing his job.
Also relevant to this: For a long while, Elon used JC Denton, the protagonist from Deus Ex, as his avatar on Twitter…
Somefuckinghow, entirely not realizing that he bears much, much more similarity to the main villain of Deus Ex, the uberwealthy deepstate oligarch Bob Page … who … concocts a false reality, regarding a pandemic, to mask the fact that he is covertly meeting with and buying influence of other prominent business people and politicians… all while also heavily investing in advancing AI tech, which he wants to proliferate everywhere.
Like 15 years ago, Elon was a major AI skeptic, considering its development potentially extremely dangerous.
Then he realized he could make money if he got AI (self driving cars) working, and just did a fucking 180.
Oh right Bob Page also pour gabillions of dollars into genetic research to grow the perfect super soldiers (JC and Paul Denton)… meanwhile Elon has … basically an artificial insemination/breeding kink that also almost certainly involves some kind of artificial genetic selection or manipulation during pregnancy, as … waaay too many of his kids come out AMAB compared to what you’d expect from the baseline of not doing that.
I have said this before: If you were to ask Elon to summarize his life story, he would tell you his whole life is basically a gigantic ‘revenge of the nerd’ plot.
He is the uber-incel.
I do genuienly believe he has Aspbergers (so now we’d say he is on the ASD spectrum) given how … just astoundingly socially awkward he is, goes ham into his hyperfixations (with billions and billions of dollars), is really, really bad at understanding and regulating his own emotions…
I am autistic as well and he is like me at 14 years old, just never actually grew up in terms of taking the time and therapy/counseling to learn how to interface better with neurotypical social norms, understand and accept yourself and how you are different…
Instead, he just wants people to think he’s cool, because he never fundamentally learned that… you gotta accept and love and define yourself first man, worry about what other people think about you second, you don’t and shouldn’t need to be loved or worshipped by everyone … you should be able to validate yourself.
On that level, it is so fucking sad and pathetic.
Reminds me of the line from a Metric song: All the gold and the guns in the world couldn’t get you off.
On another level: This man is a comic book supervillain evil CEO, and needs to be fucking put down or locked away before he just actually kills millions of people, either basically directly, or through astounding incompetence.
Sometime I wonder who elon is posting as now. He’s clearly addicted to it and we know he makes alts and impersonates people. Absolutely crazy this guy gets to run countries and run businesses. I feel like if there is no internet elons the creepy dude in the camero sitting outside the concert waiting for teenage girls to come out so he can give them drugs and try to date rape them.
cocaine would explain his ability to post all day, plus the erratic paranoid behaviour, and ketamine while in public.
If the 4chan posts that are purported to be Elon… actually are…
His latest persona is literally the AntiChrist.
… Normally a person like that ends up in an involuntary hold in a psych ward.
Well said! Glad to see you chose our instance :)
Stock price is a helluva drug
It’s still higher than it was 6 months ago, that shit needs to plummet more. I want to see it do into double digit territory, that’s where it’s true value is relative to it’s new outlook.
“Y U mad? I’m totally on your side!” – Guy who is definitely not on your side
How does this guy not understand he’s the villain?
It’s actually a great example of the difference between movies and reality. In most movies the evil people “know” that they are evil, they want to be evil. In reality evil mostly comes from people thinking they are doing the “right” thing, which has to be done, while ignoring their empathy or being incapable of empathy.
Because media illiteracy is almost a prerequisite for being far right wing
When you have so much money that nobody else matters to you and you become the only character in your story.
sycophants. The answer is sycophants. Always being told you’re right messes up your brain.
also the amount of drugs he takes.
He’s the hero in his own mind, in the sense of: “I’m burning down society to the ground to rebuild it better for all! Can’t people see that?! Don’t they realize what I’m trying to do for them!!!” Of course he doesn’t have enough awareness to realize people can’t see that through the smoke and flames of everything burning around them.
I don’t think he doesn’t know he’s evil, that’s why posts like this fall fall so flat, he doesn’t believe his own lies.
He’s playing stupid to convince his base they’re the resistance
