      My guy he posted about being banned from PoE2, a mostly PvE game, for cheating. Literal man child that cannot beat AI enemies.

        it shouldn’t be too surprising that he cheats in online games given that he cheats in pretty much every other aspect of his life as well

          I’d argue that Putin and perhaps some Saudi royalty are richer but we don’t know those numbers. But yeah agreed in general of course.

            He, or someone he paid to impersonate him online, is the number one Diablo 4 player in the world. I played it for a couple months, it was pretty fun, but to get to that level you’d have to be playing it like it’s your job.

              Keep in mind, he has an extremely demanding job. Five of them, in fact - CEO of Tesla, Neuralink, Boring, SpaceX, and X Formerly Twitter. And he manages to find enough time in the day to play Diablo 4 at the highest level and also advise the president elect on policy.

              So either he’s on amphetamines 24/7 to keep up with what I assume is a hellish workload even for companies that rarely need C-level input to function, or he’s majorly full of shit and half asses all of his jobs and plays video games all day while boasting about what a successful hardworking guy he is and how he totally deserves that gorillion dollar benefits package.

                He takes amphetamine and plays games and thinks of stuff others can do for him there is no work involved at any point

                Could be somewhere in the middle. I imagine there’s a cottage industry of designer drugs for the ruling class and their bubble. People say he does a lot of K but if it’s K I’m sure it’s 100% pure. He probably has access to five different amphetamines, each for a different purpose, with minimal side effects. I truly envy the ultra rich for their no personal risk drug access.

                I know if I were a billionaire I’d be hiring the brightest minds in chemistry to create all kinds of drugs, therapeutic, functional, or recreational. Pure and safe. Create a pharmaceutical corporation that does real work and then pay the shadow chemists top dollar for secret R&D. The difference is I would try to find a way to give it away for free. Or find a way to get it to high level criminal leaders to distribute for low cost with high volume. Safe alternatives to fentanyl, etc.

                Just daydreaming here as I’m off tomorrow and I only have alcohol and weed.

                Edit- to actually respond, I think the only company he really touches with any regularity is Twitter, with obvious motives and results.

                SpaceX - Has done very well and genuinely benefitted the progress of humanity. No indication he messes with it much anymore. I’m glad it exists.

                The Boring Company - Don’t think he’s touched it in years. It’s a front company to deliver barely more than jack shit and big promises. It’s purpose is to undermine high speed rail and other infrastructure, to benefit:

                Tesla - Kicked electric cars into high demand which I’m grateful for. But their vehicles suck and they’re far too expensive. I don’t think he touches this much anymore beyond the cybertruck.

                Neuralink - Finally this. I think he lost interest in it. Killed a bunch of apes, helped some severely disabled people. But from what I understand the people who gained in ability are seeing their implants become less and less effective. I like the idea. I would definitely become a cyborg if someone offered, but I don’t think I’d let them mess with my brain or spine yet. I hope to see super cool implants developed from the data they’ve gathered, but they’ll probably hoard it. And of course once they’re safe, the implants will only be for the ultra wealthy.

        I mean the Taylor Swift thing where he said he’d have her babies and protect her cats was pretty bad and I swear that isn’t even close to the worst.

        However, I’m not on X though so I don’t have to look at the weirdness.

        Depends, what do you do with the excitement? The fact that this is the news of the world that we get, that the state of the world is what it is right now?

        I disagree, I just don’t wish people took some more time to introspect as to what their senses show their surroundings to be, and how.

        I can see the British east india trading company saying the same shit you just said, but to Gandhi. I don’t mean it as an attack, just wandering thoughts.
