What is wrong with Elon Musk?

[RainWalker]

It's hilarious these 2 tweets showed up together. Someone posted this on Twitter and I had to share but then it made me pause and think. On a serious issue, what is wrong with Elon Musk? First he agrees with some white supremacist preaching white replacement conspiracy theory about Jewish people and now he's saying anyone using the words "decolonization" and the phrase "from the river to the sea" will be banned.

I've heard rumors he does "special K" so maybe that's why he's behaving like this. It's truly strange. And it's far from normal behavior. Perhapss he's trying to cover his pooper but I believe there's possibly something far more nefarious at play here.

1. Purposely trying to alienate liberals so twitter becomes

the town square for only the right wing? It was one of the only places liberals and MAGAs met before the 2022 November election losses for Republicans. Just a guess.

[RainWalker]

3. I guess? It's definitely strange behavior

I think that site, Blue Sky I think it's called, needs to hurry up and open to the public. I have heard good things about it and have an invite code I need to use.

I'm thoroughly convinced because Elon Musk was raised in such an atmosphere that's very insulated and wealthy that he never learned how to socialize like a normal person and has a very warped view of the differences between right and wrong.

13. I don't think wealth stops one from being brought up to know

right from wrong. It can lead to carelessness. But it doesn't explain Musk.

[OldBaldy1701E]

45. No, it doesn't.

But it discourages one from learning it as plenty of business practices are morally and ethically wrong but are perfectly legal. And, being the biggest part of Big Business is the dream of these people. I feel it explains him and all who use their wealth to insinuate that they are somehow 'better' than the rest of us solely because of their insatiable greed perfectly. The arrogance of the rich is born and bred as far as I am concerned.

2. He's always been a noxious weirdo.

Whatever is wrong with him, it's deeply ingrained and has been present for much longer than whatever drugs if any he has been using lately (though that could certainly make things worse).

[RainWalker]

4. I'm no psychologist but

I can't help to think this is learned behavior.

[BlueCheeseAgain]

5. Elon Musk's father makes Elon look almost normal in terms of behavior.

[RainWalker]

9. Oh jeez that explains that

[struggle4progress]

6. He's nuts. Maybe he'll volunteer for his own Mars colony

[viva la]

7. I deactivated my account.

I just couldn't take this latest. He posts his antisemitic calumny, and then all his racist fanboys dive in and like him claim that the real racism is against white people and... I couldn't read any more.
I don't want to be a part of that place, or even in the slightest way give that filthy man any more attention.

[Mr.Bill]

8. He himself says

he's Autistic. Now, that can mean a lot of things, but that's at the root of things, I think.

[RainWalker]

10. Interesting. I wasn't aware of that

[Mr.Bill]

12. Yeah, he said it

when he hosted Saturday Night Live.

[SheilaAnn]

14. Oh I'm sure he is, perhaps just on the spectrum but his thought processes are batshit. n/t

[TSExile]

16. I'm on the autism spectrum.

I have no idea if he is or not for sure, but trust me here - HE DOESN'T REPRESENT US!!

[Mr.Bill]

18. I know Autism has a very broad spectrum.

No one autistic person is representative of all autistic people. No more than one person with cancer is the same as all people with cancer.

[viva la]

21. I think his narcissism is the most signal thing about him.

It's not 'neurodivergence" but "empathyabsence."

[Mr.Bill]

22. To be honest, I don't know how I would react

if I found myself being the richest person in the world and people started believing me when I say we are going to colonize Mars.

[viva la]

33. You'd probably give most of it away. :)

I guess that's why most of us will never be that rich.

[JHB]

40. I'm pretty sure you'd focus yourself on overcoming the technical impediments to colonizing Mars...

...instead of highlighting all of the bullshit he's signed onto in order to pose having RW horseshit masquerade as "free speech".

[LowerManhattanite]

37. One can live with autism AND...

…be an utter *sshole at the same time. They’re not mutually exclusive of each other.

[Septua]

11. He should have stuck with making...

..rockets and electric cars and whatever else he does. Seems to me, lots of people who become successful at some enterprise, get the idea they are some kind of fountain of knowledge for the world to praise and take heed.

I never knew how big a jerk he is till he got into "social media."

[Johonny]

34. He should have stuck with pumping

Stocks. He made tons of money overhyping products. Now he's box office poison.

[usonian]

15. He's so self-focused

that he has no concept of, nor concern for others. They are just an extension of his ego.

He claims to be building an "everything app" like WeChat, but eviscerates half the available market, including the left-leaning Tesla buyers.

"They'll all come around to my way of thinking" because only my way of thinking is valid. (Paraphrase)

Another true Bond villain. I favor Zorin slightly over Drax, just for the craziness factor.

[bedazzled]

43. He does have a lot of Zorin in him

Not as sexy though

[usonian]

44. I see the crazy factor.

Smart dresser.

[myohmy2]

17. invinviblity...

...he's too rich...

...a thick billfold will make you like that...

19. Where to start.... mommy and daddy issues, an ego the size of

John Holmes' dick (along with its personality), excessive privilege, years of no one telling him "NO*. Add to that a useless, stenographer style press. Who spent years selling his bullshit" Tony Stark* phantasy. When in reality he's more of a Justin Hammer. I could go on. I'm no expert in autism. But it wouldn't surprise me he came up with that to excuse his sociopathy.

20. I think the easier and shorter question to ask is

What’s right with Elon Musk?

[LuvLoogie]

23. Elon Musk's 4CHAN pool boy writes his tweets.

Of that I am convinced

[BlueIdaho]

24. What's wrong with him?

He’s certifiably crazy and suffers from years of abuse from his violent father. He’s a fucked up mess and he’s not getting any better.

[True Dough]

25. At least the moron

is driving away advertisers again. Hopefully more and more of them stay away for good.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

26. He doesn't understand that Twitter is an advertising business

It is clear that he does not understand the advertising dimension of Twitter, seeing Twitter solely through his parochial political lens. I am convinced that he only wanted to buy Twitter in the first place to “own the Twitter libs”, before he tried to pull out in the later stages when he realised it was a terrible deal.

He’s on the way to reducing Twitter to a third of its original value, while turning it into a town square of crypto bros and klan wizards.

[Aussie105]

27. Study the life and death of Howard Hughes

and you will get some idea of where Musk is currently.

[Mr.Bill]

28. I can't wait until

he enters the total recluse drug addict phase.

[Chi67]

29. Ummm

What's wrong with Musk? He's a fascist. That should be obvious by now. His own daughter wants nothing to do with him. That should tell you all you need to know:

30. Pissed off at Privacy Badger on Firefox?

It blocks those tweets.

Privacy Badger has replaced this X (Twitter) widget

31. There's no contradiction, both statements are anti-Semitic.

[BootOutTheGoons]

32. The same thing that's been wrong with him since June 28, 1971

He's always been an evil bigot. It was just that for many years many people didn't want to believe it. He was able to cover it up to a degree under his phony genius act and many wanted to believe if he's the face of electric cars, he must be progressive.

Though if you looked carefully the warning signs were there.

What changed is that he lost what little remained of his sanity when his daughter came out as trans. His fragile little alpha male ego couldn't take that.

That led to the eternal man-child burning 44 billion dollars on Xchan. He is, as we say, extremely online. Well he now has his very own very loud megaphone and he can't help but to sit there constantly and say every awful thought in his mind for the world to see.

What he counted on was getting away with it under the cover of "He's Elon Musk, super genius!" Nice try Bozo.

[LowerManhattanite]

35. It was just a few months ago that he had...

…a fairly vocal and active fan base of defenders here too.

They’re much quieter these days as he’s exposed himself fully. And exposed THEM.

[RainWalker]

36. On here? That's surprising

Given Musk is basically a crypto bro Libertarian. I would not have thought that.

[SoFlaBro]

41. Elon Musk is a fucking apartheid baby shit into the world to spread hate, bigotry, and race-baiting bullshit.

[gulliver]

38. Putin is a rat faced sack of crap

I'm sure you agree.

This post is fun at a certain level I guess.

[RainWalker]

39. You won't hear any argument from me

[Kennah]

42. He is breathing

[Emile]

46. He is a fascist.
