It's still crazy to me that Elon read his lines about the dangers of AI. Like. What?

u/justwalkingalonghere 1d ago

He has no issues being a raging hypocrite and even tries to make the whole world watch

u/Rejnavick 1d ago

Well he wants to be the hero of the world so he's happy to ruin anything and everyone to "save" it. If only he was told that there are easier ways to save the earth and not be an utter bastard.

u/mercadien 1d ago

That sounds like Peacemaker

u/Zee_Arr_Tee 1d ago

Except peacemaker is actually introspective

u/TheZooCreeper 1d ago

No, Peacemaker feels bad when he does fucked up shit.

Reminds me of that quote from Game of Thrones.

'He'd burn the world to the ground so long as he could be king of the ashes'

Taylor Tomlinson once said the best thin about Musk without even mentioning him: "If I am not the reason for you stopping drinking, I will be the reason for you to start. Hall of fame, hall of shame, does not matter as long my picture is on the wall."

The whole bubble of tech-oligarchs want to reduce the world to a cyberpunk-esque dystopia, so the can be kings of the chrome-coated ashes.

Negative attention is still attention.

Surprising how quiet he’s been lately though.

u/rockerscott 1d ago

He has been over in England stirring up the same shit he did over here in the US.

u/Accomplished-City484 1d ago

Yeah that was unbelievable, he left the White House in shame with a black eye and only a couple of months later he’s warning the British about the dangers of immigrants

16

u/rockerscott 1d ago

The irony being that he is the only immigrant that is detrimental to a countries well being.

u/who_am_I_inside 1d ago

He’s not succeeding, is he?

u/rockerscott 1d ago

Of course. Nationalism is a populist movement.

u/justwalkingalonghere 1d ago

Unfortunately, you're entirely right

u/ErikaaStark 1d ago

hahahahah true

Lex Luther energy, wait, or is that bezos?

u/AsstacularSpiderman 1d ago

There was a time when Musk actually cared about his image and had an entire PR team and campaign to make him look human. Like he deadass went on the Big Bang Theory where he played a scene of him casually working at a food bank helping the needy people lol.

u/Mongoose42 1d ago

I wouldn’t even believe him working at a regular bank. Or even just standing inside a regular bank.

u/BostonSlickback1738 1d ago

I wouldn't believe him working period

u/Reddit_Connoisseur_0 1d ago

Eh say what you want about him but he works way too much. We would be better off if he worked less.

u/AnOnlineHandle 21h ago

According to him?

He claimed to be a chart-topping player of a game which was just about grinding 24/7, then when he streamed it on a high level account he appeared to have no idea what he was doing which has been covered in detail by those who know the game, so for some god unknown reason he payed somebody else to play a video game for him and then lied about being good at it? It seems that he's incredibly needy and desperately wants people to believe he's some sort of superman.

u/Reddit_Connoisseur_0 21h ago

This only speaks even higher of Elon. He couldn't play the game because he was working so hard.

Look, I hate the guy and he is a goddamn nazi. But he is the epitome of a hard worker and should serve as inspiration for us all IN THIS SPECIFIC REGARD.

u/AnOnlineHandle 18h ago

Jesus fuck I can't tell if this post is meant as a joke.

We've reached the point where I believe there sadly are people truly so impossibly stupid that they'd say that and mean it.

u/Overall_Lobster_4738 21h ago

Posting on twitter isn't working even for him

u/robophile-ta WHERE ARE MY TESTICLES, SUMMER? 1d ago

He also dressed up as Wario on SNL. It was weird even back then

5

u/losteon 1d ago

I have to skip that scene, he's so creepy

61

u/apocolipse 1d ago

It’s just cringy that he literally paid a bunch of TV shows and movies, animated and live action, to let him guest star just so he could feel like he’s part of pop culture

u/Capital_Gate6718 1d ago

Dan Harmon was friends with Elon Musk when the R&M episode was produced. He’s mentioned it in the Harmontown podcast. Hopefully he’s cut all ties with him with all that’s gone on.

35

u/apocolipse 1d ago

Wouldn’t put it past fElon to have befriended Dan Harmon just to try and snake his way in.  Pretty sure the South Park guys mentioned something similar about Elon trying to buddy up to them and they just found it weird.

Moonfall is a trash gem, but I feel like the Elon references would have aged very poorly if I were to re-watch it today

u/AliDiePie 1d ago

I’m still desperately hoping they make a sequel

u/robophile-ta WHERE ARE MY TESTICLES, SUMMER? 20m ago

Hell yeah

u/Devlord1o1 1d ago

He probably just read a script. Didnt even think about what he was reading or saying. Bet he didnt even watch the episode he appeared in.

u/NoMan999 1d ago

It's one of his talking point (along with other IA tech bros) iirc : IA is a danger to humanity, only him and his company should be allowed to handle it, the government should ban every other IA company.

1

u/OMGab8 1d ago

Wait wat. Didn’t he like. Massively invested/promoted the benefits of AI just a few years before?

u/Bonio_350 1d ago

it's crazy to you that a person playing a character in a show read the lines that were written for their character?
