Rich stupid guy doing things is not technology.
Why is this community flooded with this guy doing or saying things?

the_ocs ,

I'm keen to join another tech focused community, with less non-tech spam, any recommendations?

ShepherdPie ,

Good luck. This stuff infects every technology related group I've seen here and on reddit.

the_ocs ,

Just need better moderation

This community is so obsessed with Musk istg

xantoxis ,

How. Fucking. Pathetic. Do you have to be. To have an entire army of sycophants. And that's still not enough for your ego.

PilferJynx ,

It honestly makes me genuinely sad. He definitely has complexes and holes in his soul to conduct this behavior. Doesn't excuse him from being a complete asshole though.

mriormro ,
@mriormro@lemmy.world avatar

Why are you sad about this piece of shit? He'd never pay you the same mind.

I revel in the insecurities and smallness of these exploitative, parasitic wastes of air.

SmokumJoe ,

You can always feel empathy. The more you try the better person you'll become.

Don't be like sad rich guy, be better.

WallEx ,

This is the way.

msage ,

No, just... eat them.

It's not like there's any positive change waiting to happen from that thing. You can't be tolerant of the intolerant. We joke a lot about Twixxer and how insecure Muxx is, but the truth remains - he is a real and direct threat to a lot of people.

Let's not forget the beast behind the human behind the image.

mriormro ,
@mriormro@lemmy.world avatar

Billionaire's aren't people and do not deserve our empathy.
I am better. I don't exploit thousands to hundreds of thousands of people's lives for my own personal, shortsighted gain.

SmokumJoe ,

It's not about them.

captainlezbian ,

Being a halfway decent dad has to be easier than all this. Plenty of guys manage it

elliot_crane ,

Joined by conspiracy theorist David Icke, who believes that the world’s top leaders are actually lizards, Jones and his guest both questioned whether they were actually talking to Musk based on the individual’s eerily similar speech.

There’s.. there’s a lot to unpack here. I’m truly saddened that this version of me ended up in the bizarre timeline; I wonder how my other selves are doing.

restingboredface ,

I was looking through comments to see if anyone noticed this part. I have to believe that he doesn't really think world leaders are actual lizards and its actually more of a performance art piece or something.

If he's serious about it... I just don't know how humanity went so wrong.

elliot_crane ,

Idk dude, I read his wiki page and some of this shit is just nuts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Icke

This guy strikes me as one of:

  • a cult member
  • an aspiring cult leader
  • a grifter
  • someone suffering a psychotic break from reality (obligatory: I’m not a trained medical/mental health professional)
  • some combination of the above
Sanctus ,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

Go to r/SaturnStormCube and r/SaturnTimeCube. He was half-successful.

elliot_crane ,

Well that’s a big old yikes from me dawg. I took a quick peek at those subs and I can’t say it was worth the time I spent dancing around reddit’s VPN blocker. I bet the AI company is gonna get some great data from those comments.

Also time cube is banned so there’s that lol.

Sanctus ,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah it wasn't supposed to be pleasant lol damn menorahman finally got the sun to take the big L with all his very real antisemitism. Weird hearing someone praise the Monad and then be antisemitic.

s0ckpuppet ,

Icke has literally been on this kick for like 30+ years. Idk if he believed himself when he got started but the dude is so far down the rabbit hole of his own bullshit he surely believes it by now.

Sanctus ,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

You're a shit father, Elon.

There, he can't delete that.

RobotToaster ,
@RobotToaster@mander.xyz avatar

You think he wouldn't buy lemmy.world?

NeatNit ,

He might, but that's the whole point of federation - there's hundreds of other instances (including the one you're using) that he can't buy all at once. If one instance gets taken over, Lemmy as a whole is still strong.

Even if he buys the organization developing Lemmy, I have faith the community will fork it and everyone will stop using Musk's version.

towerful ,

Yeh, if he bought twitter for 44B, and there are 400 instances then that is still 110M per instance if he were to do that again.
Even 10% of that amount is more than an instance is worth.
Sales can be made pretty quickly when they are massively overvalued.

NeatNit ,

Some instances' admins are not so easily bought! I hope, at least.

DAMunzy ,

Meh, I say sell the insurance. It is relatively easy to spin up a new one. Let Elmo waste money.

oce ,
@oce@jlai.lu avatar

I doubt the devs of Lemmy would accept that considering their political opinions.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Oh my sweet summer child.

Most people would sell their own grandmother into slavery for a few million. I mean they'd feel terrible about it but still.

oce ,
@oce@jlai.lu avatar

These dev with their technical level could work at top tech companies and gain that in a couple of years. Yet they dedicated their time to building Lemmy instead.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Is this actually true? I just assumed it was someone's side hustle.

Before the Reddit migration, our income was almost exclusively made up of generous donations from the NLnet foundation. This funding was based on getting paid for implementing new features, specified in advance.

We’ve known that this funding could not last indefinitely, and that after several years of funding, NLnet’s resources are better spent getting other projects up and running. Additionally, much of our time is spent on other equally important work: reviewing changes from community contributors, fixing bugs, doing support, and various organizational tasks.

That is why we are launching our first annual funding drive. The goal is to increase monthly, recurring donations from currently €4.000 to at least €12.000. With this amount @dessalines and @nutomic can each receive a yearly salary of €50.000 which is in line with median developer salaries. It will also allow one additional developer to work fulltime on Lemmy and speed up development.

daltotron ,

I think the best option would actually be to see how many times we can pull the scam on him, before he realizes what's happening. Oops, oh no Elon, people are using a different instance! Look at how many users they have (they are different users we swear)! Looks like you're gonna have to buy that one now! and so on.

NeatNit ,

Yes, make him play Whac-A-Mole! I love it!

RandomVideos ,

I think it would be easier to find where the owner of lemmy.world lives and threaten their family

ooli OP ,

Wait till he buy Lemmy

ChunkMcHorkle , (edited )
@ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world avatar

Then I hop to another instance or create one of my own (running 19 or later so I can block his) and problem solved, lol.

Federation means Musk can buy a single instance, or even a hundred instances, but cannot prevent anyone else from simply opening another somewhere else and making their own portal to the same content he wants to collect behind a paywall (if he even could).

ILikeBoobies ,

Not sure why the title says Elon nuked the account for outing him when the account owner says in the article that he left on his own accord due to doxxing

gian ,

<sarcasm>Because, obviously, everything happening on X is Musk fault</sarcasm>

jtk ,
@jtk@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Wasn't he already busted having that weird account that's a kid talking about hentai?

profdc9 ,

It's just amazing that probably the one man who least needs to give a crap about anything has such a thin skin. All of his money can't seem to resolve his deep insecurity.

moitoi ,

Elon could self masturbate. It's cheaper than losing billions with a toy.

PotatoKat ,

He could even gift himself the horse

omnomed ,

Don't harsh my buzz, dude.

rickyrigatoni ,
@rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee avatar

Don't buzz his harsh >:C

OldWoodFrame ,

Yeah when there are world spanning consequences like buying Twitter or helping Russia with Starlink, I'm listening.

When he...has a second Twitter account, I do not care.

Dkarma ,

It took Boston dynamics 30 years to do what Elon BOUGHT in one.

😂🤡

postmateDumbass ,

If Elon buys the robo dog...

postmateDumbass ,

You'rr an amazing father sugar daddy, Elon

FTFE

Flumpkin ,

Huh? Doesn't everyone assume he has a whole PR team that probably runs hundreds of sock puppet accounts? Like human bots? I mean isn't a PR team basically a given for a billionaire or any special interest group?

CileTheSane ,
@CileTheSane@lemmy.ca avatar

If he has a PR team they are doing a terrible job.

GladiusB ,
@GladiusB@lemmy.world avatar

He fired them all or paid them so little they don't care

Clent ,

Celebrities do use PR agencies but Musk is known for not having PR teams at any of his companies.

He is the stupidest billionaire.

Flumpkin ,

Oh thanks! Right, I guess when he fired them and that is when he became unpopular lol

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

PR people? They're an unnecessary expense.

He literally cut twitter staff by 80%, twitter is on life support and running on fumes, has crazy technical issues and breaking features, and he refuses to invest in it.

Clent ,

Yes the company is dying because he cut all their staff but that's not the point.

None of his companies have PR departments.

Any request for comment to these companies is responded to with a poop emoji or ignored. He's a child.

priit123 ,
@priit123@lemmy.world avatar

Aah, yes. I too love corporate bullshit lame responses. Damn you Musk for not having PR department!

Clent ,

Not as much as I love a Musk simp.

Bobmighty ,

All that money and power and no added happiness or joy. So unloved he has to fake it. I always knew absurd wealth doesn't actually improve a person, but thanks for constantly proving it over and over again anyway Elon. Glad to know you'll die unhappy.

stoly ,

Money won’t make you happy for sure.

jkrtn ,

This is some "John Barron" energy. Imagine having fucktons of money and still being a whiny crybaby like these fellows.

Cyclist , (edited )

Have you seen his mom (Maye Musk)? I don't think she ever loved Elon, or anyone. Maybe Dalmatians.

violetraven ,
@violetraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

You sure she wasn't just playing nice in order to turn them into a coat?

Zink ,

Very well put. He and many others create a lot of misery chasing what they think will make them happy rather than what actually will. Figuring out the difference is a personal process that you have to want, though.

I always figured he was some kind of workaholic that can never have enough. That is sometimes good for your bank balance but it is often not good for YOU.

hperrin ,

I wouldn’t exactly call him a workaholic. He spends quite a few hours a day browsing Twitter.

Zink ,

I did wonder if I’d get a reply like this since it has the word “work” in it, lol.

I’m sure he tweets from the office a lot.

roadkill ,
@roadkill@kbin.social avatar

Dude spent $44Bil just so he could behave like an insecure reddit mod...

snownyte ,
@snownyte@kbin.social avatar

And all of the Reddit moderators looked in awe and decided to behave just like him.

Only problem is that they aren't getting the kind of money he does for it.

db2 ,

Not the mods, literally the admins. Steve idolizes Musk.

mlg ,
@mlg@lemmy.world avatar

Jokes on you all the old mods were banned and replaced by admin approved bootlickers

j4k3 ,
@j4k3@lemmy.world avatar

Only the good ones left or so I hear. Reddit is blacklisted in my router NFTables.

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

sadder to realize that no amount of money will stop people from acting like children for no material benefit, be it he or they

Nfamwap ,

It's not about money, it's about having a teeny tiny bit of authority over others in your otherwise meaningless existence.

snownyte ,
@snownyte@kbin.social avatar

They need all the money to afford them bulk hot pockets and get them MTG deals.

someguy3 ,

You're totally right. You're an amazing lemming, roadkill.

fedroxx ,

...or Lemmy mod.
