This post made me think of this scene. It's as if subconsciously this stuff is perceived as an attack on their manhood, their machismo, their sexual prowess.
As far as I could tell it's real. It's from a reputable subreddit and the twitter account that logs the interactions between accounts does so automatically and it's not just an Elon tracker. And as it follows the general trend of Musk's support for far-right, racist causes I'm liable to believe it.
As with everything though I can't be 100% and anyone is free to disprove it.
His affable Tony Stark days are long gone. True villain arc going on now. Such a scourge on humanity.
He's more of a poundland Lex Luther these days
If Musk's business achievements happened 20 years ago i.e. pre-social media, I wonder how much influence he would currently have. If the current social media environment existed in the 90s, would Bill Gates have ended up with a similar cult of personality? Steve Jobs almost got there when social media was in it's infancy before he kicked the bucket.
The original pioneer of billionaire celebrity personality is now the 45th and 47th president of the united states.
Even now, only Musk and Trump are heavily focused on their social media presence. The majority of billionaire entrepreneurs like Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Sam Altman are either shy or simply don't have time or interest in developing their own brand.
It's also something you have to want though. Musk clearly craves the attention and adoration. Jobs probably would have enjoyed some of that as well. Gates probably much less so.
Vice versa, if Musk didn't have the money, he'd still have been an annoying idiot, and he might have ended up more like that car murderer in Germany.
I think it would be much more different. He would be an idiot but without the success that he enjoyed an he public adoration first as the earth saviour and mars conqueror and second like the second coming of lite goebbels, his ego would be much less, his craving attention much less and he just would be a whinny little prick
We created this monster. Even me before the thai cave event thought some of the things being true
I mean Disney is doing a movie where Tony Stark turns evil and becomes "Disney Doctor Doom", works for a nickname too.
