He was always a “lie, lie and lie until you make it” kind of guy, it’s just that in the last couple of years he’s been doing it widely enough and long enough that the real results of enough of his lies came though and enough people started suspecting his words and looking at them more carefully and spotting the lying early.
As the saying goes, “you can deceive some people all of the time or all people some of the time, but you can’t deceive all people all of the time” - and at some point, when he became more widely known, he seems to have gone from the first mode to the second and by now he’s run out of time.
Talented people fail to make a career in gaming. Idc how many mines his daddy owned, he’s not going to make a good game. Although we should encourage him to do it. Making games would obviously waste the time he uses to harass people.
They might actually get along. The CEOs of both happen to be hypocritical asswipes who think providing a worse product and complaining about competition will give them the monopoly they’re pretending to not want.
He should make a meta verse. I still won’t buy it, but having 2 of them completely fall flat because a billionaire thought they knew what entertainment was would almost be as funny as that time Sony re-released Morbius in theaters.
Musk should buy Bethesda. Gut it like he gutted Twitter. Start development on something random – the Elder Scrolls VI: Kingdom of Doge.
When it comes out, it will be a horrible, poorly made mess. Just like a regular Bethesda game but extra enshittified. He can charge extra for it to make it seem super premium.
You play as doge and collect dogecoins to spend on memes. The game is called X and it runs a crypto miner on your gpu when you play it (you get coins in game, Elon gets coins in real life).
You can pay for X premium for $10/month which unlocks cosmetics and lets you access the members-only chatroom
The cosmetics are all unique and non-fungible, and can be resold to other X premium users for real-world money in the form of credit that can be used to buy different tokens cosmetics.
Elon’s companies have been successful despite his input, not because of it. If you’re interested, do some reading on how middle-management protected their teams from his nonsense in both Tesla and SpaceX, basically just feeding him bullshit that sounded good and ignoring him whenever possible. Those people are why the companies have thrived.
Shit, just look at Twitter before and after. The valuation difference is staggering.
If you have a startup and someone offers you 9 figures so they’re the CEO and you still run the day to day…
You’d be an idiot to risk it, because any number of billion dollar companies can fuck you over thru innumerable ways.
So every once and a while someone with shit tier risk assessment lucks out and suddenly becomes unimaginable rich. And those are the people making offers on the next generation of startups.
The system is set up so the worst people possible run shit. Because no sane person would keep “letting it ride” to the point they make billions, and a crazy person who does becomes too big to fail. And once they get to that point, they’ve convinced themselves no one else is smart enough to play Russian roulette 100 times in a row.
At that point they’ve conned themselves into really believing they’re geniuses who know more than anyone.
I tell people this all the time. There are people who have the job of distracting musk like a 3 year old. They don’t believe it and continue to worship him. They act like he personally invented everything and refuse to accept the truth. The only thing he actually invented was the cybertruck.
Did he actually invent the Cybertruck? He drew the world’s shittiest picture that was all straight lines and then made a bunch of toddler-level claims about its abilities while demanding results from the teams of real people that actually had to make his nonsense even somewhat functional.
People who deserve the title of inventor actually do the fucking work. He just said “and it’ll be invincible and climb over mountains and can pull GOD and be SO COOL”
I read this whole article by some truck review guy? And he was confused because he said the cyber truck came within a hair of filling a niche in the truck world that was pretty much free to take, but just narrowly ended up being in a much better established range of trucks that it had no hope in competing in. So yeah… he did all the demanding and none of the thinking, and everyone else was just there for the paycheck.
The niche was what the Rivian and fuck, even the F150 Lightning are doing. The Cybertruck looks like ass and I could almost say the appearance is “kinda neat for trying something different” if it wasn’t such a dogshit product in every single way.
I can’t help but laugh every time I see one, and in the occasional instance that the owners actually pay attention to the world around them and notice, they always glare at me 😂 they know exactly how fucking stupid they look, they just try to pretend nobody agrees
