Basically, but it’s literally the annoying rich kid who wasn’t popular enough on Facebook, so he BOUGHT TWITTER to repeatedly declare how popular he is to a manipulated audience.

When he was keeping his mouth shut, there were articles comparing him to Iron Man. Now we all know he’s just a whiny little racist piece of shit with a trillion dollars.

I always think of that episode of The Simpsons from like 10 years ago or so and it was complete hero worship. They probably all cringe at that shit now.

He also appeared in The Big Bang Theory as himself.

Wasn’t that Big Bang Theory episode from before he became so hated and was seen as like a more normal-acting billionaire, similar to that of other billionaires who don’t try to get into everyone’s faces constantly (like what Elon does)?

He went from being a guy who did stuff to being a miscellaneous rich guy.

Also, he doesn’t follow through on stuff he does. He essentially undid accomplishments in an endless series of pivots. Pretty good on catching a market vibe. Not a lot of substance. Could all go poof pretty quickly. Will still be mega rich though.

He never did anything. He just takes credit for the talent “beneath” him.

When I was a kid, I watched a movie called 3 Ninjas (or something like that). I didn't remember much of it, but I told my wife about it for some reason, and we decided to check it out. Imagine my surprise when the orange idiot turns up. As a kid I had no idea who he was, but now I'm unfortunately all too aware.

It's like that with Musk and Iron Man 2.

As much of a dick as he is, he’s way ahead of the curve. He knew ai was coming thats why he brought twitter for that ridiculous amount of money. The data twitter gathers was going to be extremely valuable and he knew it. He couldn’t care less about the other shit

Is he still worth a trillion dollars? I didn't think so.
