Actually it’s a dumb point because everyone and their mom already know he got boosted. Both of them should shut up and stop showing their face in public thank you very much.
I want the account sharer banned though.
why do people hate mongols? i think they are pretty chill people
Wtf is this comment
It’s obviously a joke based on his name lmao
AS-mongol-D. It took me a hot second to see it
Oh so it’s a really fucking stupid joke, based on noting but a name in the article
Sir, this is a social media.
This isn’t Southern California media wtf, mate!
Is that a new one peice character? Mongol D As?
My first instinct was to poke fun but it’s actually important to keep breaking this overpaid influencer’s false image. He’s actively using it to push his harmful agenda.
I’m out of the loop. What is the agenda?
Have you not noticed any of the many things Musk has said and done to suppress things like civil and worker’s rights? How he’s sucking Trump’s cock so he can dictate policy to the country? How he turned Twitter into an actual Nazi mouthpiece? That’s what he’s using his image to try to push.
Rather than taking the time to try and research Elon, it’s probably faster to just read the Wikipedia entries on the German Nazi party and apartheid South Africa. That should give you a pretty good idea of what he believes and is pushing.
Among other things:
- anti workers rights
- anti immigrant
- with exceptions for his own businesses
- anti safety nets
- pro fascist
- he’s began propping up Reform in UK and AfD in Germany
- pro corporate
Basically your bog-standard right-wing corporate fascist grab bag. He’s using his platforms (in all meaning of the word) to push that internationally.
Zack is one of my favorite (if not THE favorite) streamer in the world.
I can‘t even tell for sure who of the two you’re talking aboout but I agree either way.
Yes
Inb4 Bezos suspends his twitch account for “inappropriate activity”
Fuck, I hate hearing about these people.
I think I’m just gonna ignore you. Sorry OP.
It isn’t a great point.
Sure, what Musk did only further proves what a pathetic loser he is, but it’s the equivalent of “My girlfriend goes to another school, you haven’t met her”. It isn’t illegal or anything, it’s attempted clout chasing that blew up in his face… it’s just sad.
how does elon even have time to play video games if he’s the most busiest and hardcore guy of all time?
Who the fuck cares. Elon, is average moron playing average game. If this was something important, I could understand, but this is nothing more than attention whoring.
The Worst Person You Know
Asmon isn’t even close to to the top of the worst people I know. What even is that title?
It’s a reference to an Onion headline
The funniest part to me is that the wealthiest person in the world is playing a f2p game.
It’s paid early access. Everything is wiped once it’s fully released, then its f2p.
Oh I see, this is PoE2, for whatever reason I missed the “2”, thought we were talking about the first one. My bad.
Who the hell is Asmon? I thought the headline was referencing Elon.
It’s Asmongold. He’s a relatively popular gaming streamer who also does commentary but some of his political opinions have been a bit questionable.
Ah alright, I’ve yet to watch a single streamer.
Keep doing that tbh
Ha! I was literally gonna put down" keep it that way" and your comment popped up. Great mind!
Such a /technology/ post.
There is technology in it, like a computer game.
It’s got Elon, so it must be Technology. ;)
I love Elon, but what he did is just cringe.
Who loves Elon ?
his ex wives and children
oh wait sorry i thought you said hates not loves
Adrian Dittmann loves Elon!
typical pig like people I guess?
huh
I love him.
I’m up voting you simply because eu think it’s brave to say that on Lemmy 😅
Yeah, Lemmy is crazily echo-chambered. If you don’t actively shit on Elon for absolutely everything he does (be it good or bad) you get downvoted and called a bigot.
Why can’t people be normal and shit on Elon for bad stuff and praise him for good stuff. There is not a single person in the world that is 100% good or 100% bad - everyone is on the spectrum and even the worst people have certain good aspects (and the best people have shit aspects).
I’m struggling to think of good stuff to praise him for.
I mean, he is pushing a lot of good tech forward. He is also fighting against bureaucracy and for freedom of speech.
I would agree that some of his businesses are doing well, but I would give more credit to the scientists and engineers making it happen. We found out shortly after the election that he had almost no involvement in SpaceX lately in fact.
He does get some credit for actually gathering those people and starting the companies sure, however all the insane things he’s done and is doing have really heavily undercut all of it for most people, myself included. I was a fan of his until he completely without evidence accused some diver of being a pedophile just because they didn’t want to use his awful “submersible” to rescue those Thai children years back.
He didn’t start any of his companies, he just bought all of them (maybe the exception is the boring company)
Do you honestly believe SpaceX, Neuralink, Tesla etc. would be where they are today if it wasn’t for Elon? If you say yes - I’m sorry but you have no idea what you on about.
he’s doing none of that
He is doing so, so, so much. If we didn’t have Elon to manage all these companies - they would be nowhere near where they are today. It’s a no-brainer fact.
So you’re telling me if Elon dies today. Tesla, spaceX, Twitter etc. will die with him?
They would be nowhere if they didn’t have his money. Otherwise Musk actively hinders his companies with his idiocy. This is well known from SpaceX employees.
https://x.com/yoloption/status/1595213678147764224?mx=2
The companies’ success is from being in fields that the employees are passionate about so they’ll grit their teeth and put up with it to be able to work there.
And fighting for free speech, are you kidding? He’s fighting for his own speech period. Anything he doesn’t like tends to get journalists temp banned or shadowbanned from Twitter for example.
Exactly, I hate him for who he is and most of what he does but the $100million USD contest to sequester carbon permanently is a fantastic thing to sponsor as we must remove carbon from the cycle and not just store it in trees.
And my point is proven. You literally said you hate him but you still got downvoted cuz you mentioned some good about him. I’m serious! This is a helluva echo chamber. They literally downvoted you for not hating him hard enough. It’s comical!
The sad part is I bet most who downvoted me don’t understand how critically important carbon sequestering is. We can’tjust plant trees. We need to permanently remove all of the carbon from the cycle that has been introduced since industrialization began.
I haven’t looked into it deeply so I don’t really know how important it is but I know one thing: Lemmy people would rather see double the CO2 than admit Elon has positive aspects.
Upvoting because we don’t choose who we love. At least you can see he is cringe and lame :)
I wouldn’t say he is cringe and lame. He is quite based actually (IMO). What he did with PoE 2 is cringe and lame.
How do you prove it’s legit?
He can’t at this point
The company behind POE can do it easily with IP address.
E.G. one of the bits is that the character was online and playing while he was on a call with several EU heads of state.
The main ones are that for the rank of the character, he would absolutely have to know the game damn near perfectly. In the video he put out, its very obvious he doesn’t know a damn thing about it. As in just blindly autoattacking, even when he doesnt have mana to attack, not knowing how the map nodes work, going into a run with a full inventory, claiming how bad his gear based on the equip level alone when its functionally tue best possible gear you can get, and that the character’s auction house gear sales are classic RMT scammer money trades, where you put horrible gear up for ridiculous prices.
The character’s auction house gear sales are classic RMT scammer money trades, where they put horrible gear up for ridiculous prices as a way to move ingame currency around between mules.
I thought poe2 didn’t have a real AH, just currency market. Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re trying to say.
Rest of the stuff checks out though.
He was selling shit gear for many times its worth, thats all. Sorry, never played PoE for long and uncertain about poe2.
It doesn’t have an auction house that automatically sells gear but, it does a an official website that allows you to list gear for sale. One of “Musk’s” listings (Maybe the only? I don’t remember) is a garbage crossbow for 18 divine orbs. That’s an ass load of currency in SC trade, let alone HC.
Oh, I see what you’re saying. Thanks for the explanation!
Ty
You apparently have a hateful right wing chud perform “secret” acts that will result in them getting a big push on a new platform.
Also: Friendly reminder that the Vice of today is not the Vice of olde and that “Waypoint” is a brand that is run by one rando (who likely uses a LOT of AI to generate content…) and has none of the social or political values the old Waypoint had. For the old Waypoint, you are looking at Remap Radio (the three founder/owners are Ricardo Contrarez, Rob Zacny, and Patrick Klepek and they semi-regularly collaborate with Austin Walker and, when she is available, BAFTA Award Winner Natalie Watson. And Janet Garcia is a “newbie” but is fucking awesome).
Rich people work so hard to deserve their perverse wealth /s The only way they can still blow of steam is by pretending to grind online multiplayer games no actual working person has enough time for.
What kind of flex is this supposed to be?
I dont know path of exile in detail but being a top mmo player has always struck me of an archivement in dedication of time much more then inherent skill. The learned skill the pros have just comes natural with enough dedication.
My general reaction to something like it is not more then . Wow “you” must really enjoy this particular game. Is that reaction really worth cheating for?
Do we think he lacks the general life experience to be able to reflect on the common knowledge that a pro failed more times then the beginner has tried?
I known Elon is neurodivergent if not full on autistic but so am i and i cant make sense of this guys wims.
I think it comes down to what you said, but for the obscenely rich.
A pro has failed more than a beginner has tried. The obscenely rich have been told ‘yes’ more than the poor have had the opportunity to even ask questions.
You can learn this type of failed behavior just like a bad habit, and boy howdy is he the master of it.
Honestly don’t care about Elon’s PoE 2 account. Nor do I care much about Asmongold as a person, I only have a single important question:
What’s with gaming streamers/youtubers trying to look like Jesus? GN Steve gets a pass, he’s Tech Jesus and everyone knows it. What’s up with Asmongold and that Penguinz guy though?
By “look like Jesus” do you mean they are white guys with long hair and facial hair?
I think you might underestimate how easy it is to grow your hair out and stop shaving and instantly become a Jesus look-alike. No effort needed.
Also, these two dudes look extremely different from each other and obviously they look nothing like Jesus who was a 5 and 1/2 ft tall brown skinned Semite.
I mean, I walked into the church hall for the daughter of my friends’ baptism and everyone paused to look at me, even the priest. I even overhead “it’s Jesus” from the mother who was 2 pews in front of me.
Seeing the bewilderment and expressions of everyone was just magical.
Maybe wearing a white toga and a thorn crown was a bit much for a church visit
Should have started asking for money bro
By “look like Jesus” I do indeed mean the popular modern western depiction of Jesus, because as far as I know, there’s no conclusive proof of a historical Jesus existing, and if he did, he was obviously not a modern European-origin American man.
As for the second point - idk, it might just be because I can’t grow a decent full beard, but after the first centimeter or 2 of facial hair, I just get told to shave because it’s not funny anymore. I also can’t imagine letting my hair grow for several years to get it as long as those guys. I thought one of the perks of being a man is that you get to be comfortable instead of spending years growing out your hair and shit lol
It’s pretty well-established within the field of history that there was a Jewish mendicant preacher named Jesus of Nazareth who got baptised by John and nailed to a cross by order of Pilates. That’s just as well (or badly) attested as anything else about notable people in Galilee at the time.
It’s the rest that ranges from unattested to either allegorical or certainly made up.
Hmm, I was under the impression that there isn’t much written about him until long after his death - but maybe I did let that one skepticon video influence me too much lol
Well, define “long after”. The earliest surviving non-Christian source is Tacitus who is generally considered to be a reliable histographer and had access to records that are now lost, he wrote, in about 116 CE, in the context of Nero’s burning of Rome (64 CE):
Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judæa, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their centre and become popular.
116 CE should be about 80 years after crucifixion, not that long. If the Romans had not done it they would have considered themselves slandered and mentioned it in their justifications as to why Christianity should be persecuted, it would have been part of the contemporary political consciousness.
I go from Three musketeer to wizard of the Court in about 1 month. Generally I just prefer not to cut my hair, but it will reach full length in about 1 year and then just stop growing any longer.
These guys seem like they also chose this hairstyle because it’s just less work and you spend less time being uncomfortable.
Constantly shaving all the time sucks.
Both of these people could fall off a cliff in a burning Tesla and nothing of value would be lost.
Hey, don’t disregard the value of scrap metal!
The scrap metal was MADE in the event!
I’d mourn the lithium.
That’s how you get forest fires though.
In an interesting plot twist, it would actually be a net positive for said Tesla brand in the long run, too.
For once Asmongold’s outrage baiting worked in our favour
