5d chess or not, hear me out.

He may be autistic enough to burn it all down from the inside.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 36 minutes ago (2 children)

why are we still using autistic as an insult in 2025?

he may be moronic enough to burn it all down from the inside, but autism doesn't have shit to do with it. I'm tired of people trying to use autism as an get out of jail free card for utter stupidity. autism has very little to do with intelligence levels, and even if it does, it's the other way around according to most studies.

Have you looked up the history of the word "moron"?

Insult? My brother that's a superpower.

None of them are geniuses, it's just really hard to lose at capitalism when you have capital.

Its a human blind spot. A lot of people confuse wealth for intelligence. In lower socio-economic levels, succeeding involves a lot of intelligence. Its a fucking struggle. Lots of fish trying to eat each other and take what little resources we have. One fuck up and it's all over. So anyone that is succeeding is also someone that with enough intelligence to foresee pitfalls and avoid them or escape with their wealth.

Those values are used to evaluate the people at the top which are swimming in a whole different pond. The neopotism and safety nets built into the upper crust of society is not part of the calculation that a lot of people use to factor into how they see these people. They still apply the same dog eat dog mentality to the upper crust of society.

honestly wealth at any level requires luck… intelligence barely factors into it. it’s less that 1 fuck up and it’s all over, and more that 1 fuck up without someone to cover it up or bail you out and it’s all over… the wealthier you are, the bigger the fuck up before you or someone else can bail you out:

poor? it’s an unexpected car issue

rich? it’s that you fucked over literally an entire country for years on end in a very public way that gained you very little

But Musk wants to be a trailblazer and prove that you can lose at anything.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

I like the way you put it

The thing is, this turd burgler could lose millions a day for the rest of his life and still retire more well-off than just about anybody. When's the last time a truly filthy rich person ended up in the gutter?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 minute ago

filthy rich person ended up in the gutter?

there’s not much that i like about the american healthcare system but the idea of fElon eventually ending up bankrupt because of that fucking black eye really had me thinking “maybe there’s something to this”

Are people that stupid to overvalue Tesla that much for years or is somebody stabilizing the market rate? Somebody is playing 5D chess but it is not Musk.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

It's because so many institutional investors own Tesla stock. Most of the big hedge funds and that kind of thing. At least that's what I've heard, but it makes sense to me.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 hours ago

He is secretly a shareholder in BYD and shorting Tesla. Nothing else makes sense.

He's not stupid, only suffers from drug induced dementia

"He was also stupid" - Ron Howard.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I always assumed he was a moderately intelligent tech CEO until I saw a clip a few years ago where he was showing off the evolution of Starlink rockets and he referred to the piping and whatnot on the outside of the rockets as "the fiddly bits".

Unrelated, but he was also wearing a t-shirt that highlighted his noodle arms and his man boobs. You would think that somebody vain enough to get hair implants and plastic surgery would have enough sense to at least dress in a flattering manner.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

if you've seen his body you know there's no fabric on this here earth that can flatter his troglodyte figure.

he was always assumed to be somewhat smart by people who don't know what he's talking about. the moment he talks about anything you know you realize he's full of shit. that's why astronauts he idolized for example never bought his shit, even when he was at his peak of popularity.

he's the embodiment of "it's better to stay silent and be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt". he's also the best counterargument to any idiot who thinks we live in a meritocratic system.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

He used to be stupid. He still is, but he used to be, too.

i don't understand these figures

Lost $300,000,000 with Trump Losing billions more by the day

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

$300mil was about how much he paid to buy the election, he’s lost about $33bil in stock value of Tesla in the last few days due to the public sniping with Agent Krasnov

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 minutes ago

Ah, that makes sense

[–] [email protected] 35 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

I had to look it up. Pajeet is a racial slur in SE Asia, apparently.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 55 minutes ago

You mean S Asia? India isn't exactly east...

Leave it to 4chan to import all the slurs from around the world

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Is it actually a slur, or just a stereotypical sounding name? Because if its the second isn't it just like Barry eating his 3rd pie and chips of the afternoon with a pint of wife beater?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Perhaps even less surprising, this particular racial slur apparently came from 4chan.

Somehow nobody has mentioned the drugs? And obvious signs of mental illness? Obviously high functioning, but that does not make the decisions less nuts.

Has anybody seen the Johnny Harris video on musk? It was all fun and games until the drugs came out to play.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Peter Thiel also does a shit ton of drugs and you don't see him spiralling this hard
