They talk about “the left” as though there’s any kind of leadership or organization or solidarity.
Motherfucker, people just don’t like you, all on their own, because of who you are.
People can not actually grasp so many people existing. We were never meant to live in such large societies, historically, we only had a tribe that consists of maximum ~150 people.
It has been scientifically proven that we can’t hold effective social relations to a larger number of people. The exact limit is not clear afaik, but what this essentially means, in a community of millions, we abstract away groups of people into “the left”, “the bourgeoisie”, “the poor” which allows our brain to form social relations to these groups of people with the limited capacity it has, essentially treating each group as a single person.
Now of course, this abstraction is entirely inadequate, as each collection of people is always much more diverse than the abstract concept we use to replace them, and they aren’t really single individuals, they don’t act with a collective mind.
But most people do not understand this. They just work with these abstractions, these groups of people, as if they were real single people, because in some manner, it does work. If the abstraction actually groups correctly, then the ability to reason like this works decently well. But everyone is always wrong about these abstractions. They are always too general. They always fail to consider that there’s not a single mind at work.
It’s such an easy mistake to make. I see smarter people than Musk do it all the time. The enemy, like always, is missing knowledge, missing humility, missing self-awareness, unreasonable confidence, fear of the unknown/being wrong. All of which Musk falls into.
I don’t see any solution but to educate about this whenever possible. To speak to people about it. To raise the education about stuff like this wherever, whenever we can. I’m trying to do my part.
Good ted talk, but it could be boiled down to how many millions is a billion to blow most people’s minds. And even if you know it’s a 1000 million, our minds just can’t grasp that.
Things can always be boiled down. But the more you boil it down, the more previous knowledge you assume people have in common, and it might happen that they don’t understand because they didn’t have knowledge you assume they had.
Conversely, if you include too much information, not boil it down enough, you lose people by being bored of getting told things they already know.
In any case, it’s not an easy balance and I’m just doing my best here to guess which amount of “boiling down” is “just right”. But thanks for your comment, I’ll take it into consideration.
A million seconds is 12 days. A billion seconds is 31 years. A trillion seconds is 31,688 years.
For a guy who thinks empathy is a weakness, he sure demands a fucking lot of it for himself.
Left is deeply deeply organized, otherwise it wouldn’t be all the lefties controlling every house, chamber, & office in the land
Says the one actually doing a whole nazi salute, buying presidency despite not being able to hold office due to nationality, carving up entire programs and departments in a very incompetent way, and attempting to shamelessly buy a seat in the supreme court.
And that’s not mentioning how I personally believe he may be doing all this due to his God-Iron-Man-Savior complex which makes him believe he’ll be remembered as a modern messiah. Notice how he’s revived his desire to put mankind on Mars, and by next year no less. He knows under current laws he’d at best help pave the way to Mars, but not live to enjoy it himself. “Maybe if I change the whole rulebook - in the end despite the suffering they’ll thank and revere me”, I bet.
Poor Elon. I bet he’s crying right now for being a misjudged angel, drying his tears in green paper.
Says the one actually doing a whole nazi salute
Two whole Nazi salutes.
Fake Nazi stuff.
So the inauguration Hitler salute was AI generated or what?
He’s admitting that he’s a fraud, a fake, a phony.
He obviously just greeted everyone enthusiastically.
It obviously meant “my heart goes out to you”
/s
And by “push negative propaganda”, you mean use direct quotes and actual video of you.
Fake nazi stuff?
Yeah, because supporting and claiming the AFD is Germany’s only hope (Germany’s Nazi Party, which is not called Nazi Party because that would be illegal in Germany) is exactly what a none Nazi would do!
Positive?
Anything?
i was confused as well, i only know the real nazi stuff
As a trans woman, I’m only giving back what he’s been dishing out to me - except that when we talk about him, we’re actually telling the truth.
On that note, Elon is a whiny nazi pissbaby.
If you were truly telling the actual truth you would need to include at least 4 more negative adjectives in describing Elon.

And that’s why you’d never be the richest person. Think about the qualities that lead one to become the richest person on earth. Really think about what that title represents. It’s an unfathomable amount of wealth. Any sane, compassionate person would have funneled that into charity work and the well-being of others.
You see what I’m getting at?
Or they’d invest, retiring while traveling and living off the dividends. It’s a sickness.
If you’re rich you can both invest, retire, travel, live off dividends AND donate your money and support the well being of others.
You can do that with like, 10 million usd or even less (1% yearly interest means 100k usd a year), and still have money left over to donate
Musk has about 30 000x that
Yes. We are saying the same thing.
Nah, that’s bullshit. You’re no fucking saint. The problem with billionaires is you cant possibly live a normal life once you get there. That kind of power corrupts your thoughts, actions, and importantly the way every single person you ever interact with behaves.
If you become a billionaire I’m coming for you.
The thing is… slashing welfare, trying to erase trans people, hoarding billions in government subsidies are positive things in his book.
So… we’re helping him by taking about it? That just feels wrong.
No, he simply can’t wrap his head around what’s going on
I’m very curious to see how all this whining plays with his fan boys. Doesn’t seem very based or chad or whatever the fucking incel children are saying these days.
They’re really going to be upset when their moms lose their social security and get foreclosed on rendering them basement less
Upset, but unwilling to regret their vote admit their part in their moms losing their livelihood or home.
Dude literally posts his stupid thoughts on his own platform. No one is making that shit up and making him type it out. What a dolt.
He won’t even apologize for it but instead doubles down. Maybe we should double down on this, too.
Case study in money not buying happiness. Richest man in the world by a wide margin. CONSTANTLY whining and crying about something.
If I had even a billion dollars y’all would never catch my ass on social media on in the public eye at all.

I’d very quickly no longer be a billionaire because I’d be donating to hospitals and trying to build affordable housing and helping people.
It’s the most deranged of us that seem to climb by using the people around him as steps. Shit floats.
With that kind of attitude you will never have a billion dollar /s
Not /s, literally
Billionaires have a selection bias
If I got a billion dollars I would disappear so thoroughly people would think I’m dead.
Life is short as fuck. But getting all the money you need to live a happy, healthy, long life is as good as it can possibly get on earth. You did it, you won. You can either use it to make people happy or you can just disappear and try to enjoy the brief time you have left.
I don’t get the motivation, desire and energy to do these massive public campaigns that focus the entire world’s population on you every single day. It doesn’t help anything or anyone and just causes stress. What is the purpose? It has to be some kind of delusion or mania, something gone wrong.
He didn’t just get a billion dollars though, its just unrealized gains in stocks, and those stocks represent his influence/control in the company.
If you helped build a company, and were passionate about it, you’d give that all up? If your vision was to build XYZ and you gave up those shares and you knew XYZ wouldn’t happen anymore, would you give that all up?
He DID get 300 million dollars from PayPal, and he decided to fund Tesla and build SpaceX and almost lost it all. Was it wrong of him to use all his money to try and build something? (He actually didn’t want to build SpaceX but no one wanted to do the inspiration project sending a plant or something to Mars he wanted to do)
We need a way to separate the stock value/holdings from company ownership/influence when companies get this big.
That and not having a working dick.
Sounds like he wants some… Empathy?
List of positive things that he’s done:
I take issue with the presence of that bullet. It implies he has the space to have ever done a positive thing.
Oh, no, you see it’s just a placeholder for when he dies.
aren’t nazis supposed to hate weakness? oh my god whiny fucking weasel, literally just crying and bitching and moaning constantly… disgusting.
Nearly every modern nazi would end up in the camps by their own standards.
Modern
This is property #8 of fascist ideology.
no no, that’s different. you’re right, on one hand they claim superiority and on the other they’re victims etc… but what I’m talking abouts this sniveling, cowering, tattletale crybaby shit… it just looks and feels so pathetic that I don’t understand how they don’t look at him and think he’s subhuman. I guess he has too much money to kick away.
Elon “empathy is the great failing of the west” Musk wants people to feel sorry for him?
Like every conservative, he just hates that people have empathy for anybody but them
Musk doesn’t think you should care about other people because he doesn’t care about other people.
Musk thinks you should care about Elon Musk because he cares about Elon Musk.
Musk does not have the ability to understand that there is a contraction there.
“Evil I think is the absence of empathy”
