Is Elon Musk the greatest visionary or the greatest snake oil salesman of our age?

The idiots are just seeing the words diversity and climate and thinking "woke" aren't they?
Rather than someone responsible for strategising to ensure food security.

There’s so much wrong with this. Not least it is publicly targeting someone musk has never met, knows nothing about, etc. even some of the coldest hearted tories at my work would think this is a disgrace in regards professionalism and respect. But in a way I still somewhat blame the nature of the platform itself, the constant (profit-led) imperative to share and communicate and no matter if you’re being a cunt, no matter if you harm. The medium is the message.

I've just been thinking that Musk is 100% the kind of billionaire who would start a nuclear war so he can 'rebuild society with the right people'. He's made no secret of the fact that he believes superior humans (such as himself) should be outbreeding the surplus ones (you and me and everyone who can't afford a giant yacht)

Musk and Ramaswamy said DOGE would also carry out audits of government contracts to “yield significant savings” and “identify the minimum number of employees required at an agency for it to perform its constitutionally permissible and statutorily mandated functions”.
"If your Social Security number ends in an odd number, you're out. If it ends in an even number, you're in. There's a 50% cut right there. Of those who remain, if your Social Security number starts in an even number, you're in, and if it starts with an odd number, you're out. Boom! That's a 75% reduction, done." - Ramaswamy on his 'thought experiment' on how easy it will be to downsize government.

“Mechanised Musk and Doomsday Machines”. Heidegger meets Musk in light of Heideggers obsession with “Being there”. Although a horrific Nazis at one point, his affiliation with the Nazi party was separate largely from his views. Heidegger very popular in leftist philosophy circles these days. Heidegger would say on musk I’m pretty sure “I wouldn’t trust the cunt as far as I could throw him”

Yeah, at present he needs the untermensch do build those yachts, but when AI slaves can do the grunt work instead, the carbon-based life forms will be completely disposable

Yes. A sort of tech-neoliberal-fascism.

Fair play to Ramaswamy, that cunt is a weapons-grade idiot. I wouldn't trust that moron to run a bath, let alone a governmental department.

Yep. Sheer desperation on their part.

Quite good article with some good quotes as to why people are leaving. Even North Wales Police pretty much say they are tapping out because it’s too toxic. The slow walk to being a rancid space marches on.

Don’t forget the customary Bro Brogan appearance half way through, which musk thinks is the height of validation and stardom. It’s all linked in a self propelling shit show that is very hard to pull the breaks on. That’s why concrete failures of these twats, like rockets exploding in the sky and X turning into a sewer are very important.
Someone posted a great video on this thread where a couple of YouTube guys tried to smash up a Tesla truck and they were like a knife going through butter. They were knocking bits of with hilarious ease and it basically looked a wreck after about five minutes. They tried to do the same with a ford truck and it was three times or whatever harder. In a way that small video had more potential to strike a blow than a million rants on the internet. We live so divorced from truth and reality that I don’t think we will ever see the downfall of these guys tbh.
A downfall now is rarely absoloute and final. Back in the day a MP sex case or whatever would get caught, both sides would slam him, there would be a week of kicking the shit out of him in the media and then they would largely vanish. We live in different times. Someone like musk, no matter what he does, will never feel the pinch of an absolute downfall. Maybe that’s the way it should be but just have to get used to the idea of grotesques under every stone, likely coining it in.
Anyway that’s enough prattle from me about musk for a few days.

is he actually making a rare joke on his own expense here? Or is he being serious?
