The truth of the matter is, as usual, more complex than either Twitter opinion.

Can’t be long before James Watt sets up a batshit/fashshit political party?

Punk Government with regular stakeholder bro meetings where those who invest get to sample social services at a discounted price

I now dream of a news alert to say this guy is in prison or, preferably, dead.

He is never going to prison, no matter what he does because he is simply too rich. He has a permanent security detail of 20 people so our only hope at this point is an overdose.

As if Musk respects women who do any kind of labour.

"My grandma was working-class! She MIGHT have been raped by Pakistanis if she'd been born several decades later!"

His granny should have swallowed tbh.

Why is he so obsessed with Britain? Genuine question.

I mean, he's supposed to be the richest man on earth, now also fully embedded with the Trump administration with a whole branch of government to run. Britain isn't even a major power so wtf is all his obsessing about Rotherham rape gangs and Starmer all about. It can't believe this is just some sentiment over his Nana.

 

[Lotte]

I think it's because Starmer having a go at Shitter being involved in the riots really got under his skin. And because of our 'special relationship' with the US. The other suggestion is that the US is the first domino and we're next because of Farage and Trump.

I think the new uk social media law could be a factor as well (thread on that somewhere on here).

Plus it may just be the stuff that his own algorithm is feeding him every day.

Just checked mine for last week:

I don’t run a global company, mind.


Though neither doe he, if he’s beshitting the internet in all waking hours

He’s posting 24/7 so he can see and read British Twitter and he can’t understand anything else so he just repeats the racist shit he absorbs

Everyone else in America is asleep he’s studying FUCKSPUNK88 talking points and saying “interesting”

This is where the idea of less information is often better than endless information has some legs. He’s brain is likely being zapped with “killer takes” over and over. My music friend says this, he says he gets his best ideas not when he’s listening to music, but when he’s silently walking his dog. People often forget how fruitful thinking, not reading and absorbing, can be. But the brain needs space to do that. Musk just comes across as a layabout hooked up to a dopamine drip.

Thanks for reminding me of this. It’s a lesson I could learn myself. Tis a very ADHD thing.

New interview with Musk Senior just dropped. Spoiler, he's a dumb cunt too

try a walk with no input. No podcast. No music. it's how i got over a extremely painful divorce. The brain takes on its own life and, if you were like me, things start to get sorted through. happens entirely by itself, no real action required.

Yaxley's loving it all I'm sure, the cunt.

Aye, I do that in the woods of my local park. can sometimes just sit there for half an hour, just absorbing calm.
I don't do it enough though!

you get it in pubs/cafe sometimes to. normally an old boy with no paper, no crossword, not on his phone. just sat there, with his pint. thinking but not trying to think iyswim.

 

[ska invita]

is there any chance he has farmed this out to a minion to do?

I used to view on such a scene with horror. Not so much now.
Still find the idea of being trapped somewhere with no music or reading material hellish

I didn't manage much of that. He is indeed a very dumb cunt. And massively wealthy. The Musk family is proof that it is possible to become massively wealthy while being a dumb cunt.

Totally this. I walk the dog at 0615 every day, yesterday, first day back at work in >2 weeks, pitch black, pissing down with rain, cold, was still a nice walk. Really don't get others I see walking their dogs with headphones on or staring at their phones, seems like a total waste of a good time to reset the noggin.
