    Imagine if we could piss him off hard enough to seppuku on stream about it.

    It would be such a glorious story for history.

    That’d be some must-see content.

    I would want stickers if it. That kind you can tilt back and forth for a short animation.

    Just drink that satisfaction and joy right from the air.

        Yeah, that’s another form factor for it.

        But a sticker or magnet version of it means it can be stuck on cars, lamp posts, walls, fridges, etc. I haven’t put anything at all on my car since about 2004. But I would have at least one of these on all sides

        It’s a victimless crime. Even his family hates him. The only people not begging for him to die are the totally out to lunch conservatives who aren’t plugged in beyond “vote R guy blue person bad”, and the other rich people.

        And both sets of people I hate, so I really don’t care even if they get literal, actual trauma from it. I would gladly traumatize both of those sets. Forget trying to get them to be woke, I want them to live shook. Up to and including total mental shutdown.

        Note: I’m aware that I’m crazy overestimating what this is capable of. But it’s intentional for expression’s sake.

      Oh he’s a nerd for sure, just one whose ego outsizes his nerdyness by far.

      He’s considered an average self-taught programmer by skill, but started fairly early because of his interest in computers. There’s also no way he started SpaceX purely for profit, he had to actually be very interested in space because it was a money pit for a looong time.

      I think he went from wanting to make the world a better, more efficient place via tech in the 90s and early 00s, to having a savior complex where he thinks he’s the smartest man to ever have existed, and only he can save the entire world. His goals required him to make a lot of money, and the very same money completely changed him.

      That’s not to say he wasn’t always an asshole with a superiority complex, it’s just that there quite likely was more to him than just the pursuit of money and power… But having plenty of both silenced any actual human part of his personality.

    It’s the Find Out stage that follows his Fuck Around rather than any sort of him being bullied.

    When extremely wealthy and powerful people knowingly ruining the lives of tens, hundreds of thousands or even millions, them getting some well deserved opprobrium from everybody else, that’s Fair Consequences, not bullying.

    Eventually, he vanished when his WiFi connection abruptly cut out and ended the stream, which he later deleted from X

    The whole thing was a stunt to promote Starlink.

        Any idiot can manage 27 companies. You outsource your job to managers. That is why CEO jobs should be replaced by AI asap.

            How so ? No drugs, no nazism, doesn’t take a salary (more money for rest of us), and is only focused on the job, has more empathy and compassion than Felon Musk, doesn’t care for bribes. Doesn’t wear a costume. Seems OK to me.

              When AI eventually gets genuinely I, I’d bet it could be reasoned with.

              In fact, since it would likely be unbound by our biological emotions and short-sighted instincts, it would probably think longer term than the current crop of utter psychopaths running the show.

              I mean, that’s a loss for capitalism right there. They put a machine smarter than they are in charge, they’re in for a rude awakening I reckon.

    Correction: Elon musk tries to prove his gaming skills and then Rage Quits after dying to the Tutorial Boss.

    The bullying was a side piece.

      top 10 player btw…

      what a fucking idiot. no one would be making fun of him if he just said he likes playing video games but as a CEO of multiple companies he’s too busy (lol) to get good at them. just say you suck at video games but love the art form, dumbass. but he can’t because he’s sick in the head and desperately needs approval from other unfuckable shits.

        Or, he could just say, 'I’m new to this game, I suck," and laugh it off with everyone else. I think that would be popular. “Let’s watch Elon suck at games.”

        But no. Embarrassment is worse than death to a narcissist. But he keeps setting himself up for humiliation, for attention.

        This man is mentally ill.

          His daughter said he played video games with them just to get his kids to carry him. Which is just very strange and sad.

            bronze torbjorn in the early days of overwatch. I can’t tell you how bad you have to be to play torb in 2016-17 and stay in bronze. he should be auto climb at that rank. not to mention because no one really knew what they were doing early on, the ranks were highly inflated too. diamond players back then would be gold today.

      Notice that despite the awesome trolling, it wasn’t until someone called him dumb and ugly that it elicited a response from him. Calling him out for being a piece of shit doesn’t work, denigrating the attributes he built a superiority complex on…ohhh fuck yeah that shit burns him real good.

    Is it really “cyberbullying” against Musk if Musk first negatively affected the lives and livelihoods of, say, millions of people?

      Yes. And it is still harmful. But there is no good solution here. He should be able to play a mostly single player game in some isolation from the public. (I.e. put DND on and be “fine” but hated, possibly the game should have made that easier for streamers being flooded by spam.)

      That being said the harm being done in America is incredibly impactful and must be stopped at high cost.

        He could have played alone. HE DECIDED to steam himself publicly, after spending the last two months actively trying to destroy those people’s futures. All for personal gain. He does not deserve to know a moment of peace whenever he chooses to show his face publicly after what he’s done.
