Elon Musk

Yeah, he was interviewed live onstage by Andrew Ross Sorkin at some kind of NYT-sponsored conference.

includes tell it to earth

he can add 'chief brand tarnisher' to his impressive resume

director of earth telling

he resembles an amphibian of some sort, hard to pin down

earth whisperer

He doesn't seem well.

It almost sounds like Elon is planning to leave the earth and is saying the mean advertisers won't have him to kick around anymore.

Slippy Toad?

Elon is planning to leave the earth

The Poochie of Billionaires

musk knows he has no recourse when advertisers decide to jump ship, so he's trying to manufacture one out of nothing. the trouble is that documenting his failure "in great detail" is about the emptiest, most idiotic threat imaginable.

Richest man on earth blames other people for not giving him their money.

what the heck

Lmao you gotta see the comments https://t.co/5xpeRnKUEC

easy: frog

must be so wild to be the richest man in the world high as shit on prescription drugs up on stage almost crying telling other rich guys to fuck off

lol hes in orbit

This exchange is really illuminating. He is incapable of understanding the interviewer. He keeps repeating himself like he’s in some sort of fugue state. pic.twitter.com/gsDTZpg1OK

what the fuck

Elon has been watching the tapes of Charlie Sheen's months-long public breakdown and is all 'hold my cheap trucker speed'

Gotta say though, tbh, I'm a little concerned to see exactly which Bond villain he ultimately morphs into

Can't unsee this now, esp with this interview. The way he pulls his mouth down smugly after he's said something and juts out his jaw.

That interviewer is awful

Musk: “The only reason I am here, Jonathan, is because you are a friend.”

He's created this beautiful mind palace where his TO THE MOON DOGE LOL EXCELLENT MEME SIR reply guys represent what actual people think of him.

Waiting on Star Trek to go back scrub out all of their cringe-inducing Musk references.

Yeah, "tell it to earth" sounds like he's holding the world hostage. "Nice earth ya got there. Be a shame if something happened to it because advertisers are boycotting my antisemitic platform." Or maybe just that he will use Twitter to unite the global antisemitic communities to institute total world fascism.

tbf "tell it to earth" is his first actual real original meme

let no one gainsay the bucket-load of ket as a solid basis for an interview

*Taylor Dane voice* Tell it to the earth

gotta hand it to him he wants nothing more in life than to be funny and I think he finally is

"So, um, no, no, totally, so, so, wha, the, no, a-actually wha-what this advertising boycott i-is, uh, is, is gonna do is it's gonna kill the company" -Elon Musk

Can someone convince this guy that he’s a talented musician? I want to hear how bad a MUSK album would be.

He already did a terrible EDM song a couple years back . . .

his head looks like a cybertruck

That entire interview is so 'middle school kid pretending to be a badass after being called to the principal's office when he's actually shit scared'. And 'tell it to earth' is exactly the kind of sassmouthed-yet-petulant utterance I'd expect from that theoretical 11-year-old.

kids, that there's a lizard with a (overstretched) mask

I want to hear how bad a MUSK album would be.

don't tell me no-one loves me, ayyyiii

“I am Andrew.”

we are all andrew now

i am on record in this very thread as standing against the bodyshaming of elon musk

but with that said jesus fuck his face has taken on a startlingly simon weston quality recently

I think the biggest danger he poses at present is if he's genuinely not worried about his money, and I don't think he is, then he's almost certainly going to donate an election-cementing amount of money to the Trump campaign. if your position is "there's no way Trump isn't going to win," cool whatever, but money wins the election, period. in a brighter time some rogue element would eliminate both these guys for the greater good, and it would be a moral good to do so imo, but we don't live in that time.

presidential elections have so much money in them already even elon level sums dont move the needle much i mean whats the 71st campaign ad someones seen really do for them that the 70th didnt, smart billionaires put their money into congressional/state/dogcatcher races

also I don't really think Elon likes Trump anyway, I mean he's arguably the one guy who kinda could drive engagement on the dead dumb bird site again

was pointed out that he is starting to resemble Mac's mom on It's Always Sunny, which now I can't un-see

lol

holy shit that song. Don't Doubt Your Vibe lol this is... it's exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you.

Wow.

there's just no real way to spend the amount of money he's got access to. some insanely rich people buy megayachts that cost millions a year just to keep in service, and that's without ever even taking them out from the dock. money's mostly an imaginary construct at that point because it's no longer something that is at all linked to your ability to thrive. you don't even use money in the normal way, you just leverage assets and stock and ask the banks for cash when you want it

this has to be terrible for someone like elon who thinks driving himself to a data center and unplugging a bunch of servers and throwing them into a moving truck is a good idea. he's absolutely not in a position where he personally should be doing shit like that. he has to hate a good portion of his life, because he has to know that the honorary engineer title, the bitching about tiny details on cars, sleeping at the office so he looks busy, tweeting 24/7, none of it seems fulfilling

he really seems like a guy who wants to make decisions and do things and be congratulated or booed. that's all he's got left

as a few people have speculated something really does seem to happen to your brain when you spend so much of your life just pointing at a thing and immediately getting to have that thing. kinda fucked up that we've structured our entire society around capitalism and the dude who won the capitalism lottery turned into a miserable sack of shit who needs to be cranked out of his mind at all times

It is sadly funny that the richest guy in the world fell for all the same grievance/conspiracy shit that the economically distressed/forgotten man is supposed to fall for.

you dont even have to be mega rich there are tons ordinarily affluent people, vacation house owners, who live their lives like most people they encounter are their servants, tho im sure the effect is much greater with the richest people in the world
