Attorney, journalist, and Elon Musk biographer Seth Abramson eviscerated both Elon Musk and his āfanboysā who have attempted to use the billionaireās IQ as an indication of his intellectual prowess in a series of messages shared on X Thursday evening and into Friday.
Camacho would be a much better president
Camacho at least wabted to make things better and hire a smart person
Musk is our āsmart personā
They need some Friendship:
Leon came from Apartheid driven wealth, which paid for his education, and learned how to suck the US taxpayers dry while firing people left and right. Fuck him and DOGE. What about his brother Kimball who hides behind the curtains?
I feel like Musk was a symptom of Americans really wanting a genius billionaire to be a real thing as it reinforces this American dream everyoneās dreaming about.
Reading the CPAC transcript clearly shows that heās currently below average intelligence if anything.
They wanted Iron Man and got Justin Fuckin Hammer.
Phoney Starck
Well yeah, thatās the American Dream right? That if youāre smart and work hard, youāll be rich?
Yeah and you need to be asleep to believe it
And like most dreams, it just wonāt happen in real life.
My feelings are that Steve Jobs was the quintessential cultural personality CEO and his early death sent a lot of people desperately looking for the next one, who ended up being Elon.
The difference was that Jobs actually had taste and a good vision for the future. He could build a smart team and let them drive progress then motivate to go further without making things up like Elon. So the media papered over Elonās wild confabulation, instead of showing him in a true light.
Steve Jobs tried to cure his cancer with essential oil. If that doesnāt scream dumbass I donāt know what is
With an all fruit diet because everything else creates āmucusā which is bad according to his anti-scientific bullshit.
An all fruit diet IRL is horrible for cancer as cancers feed on sugars.
Had a colleague die from cancer, after being given a very good prognosis with treatment and declining all that because he read somewhere just getting a whole bunch of vitamin C would reverse cancer.
His case he had a powerful personal anecdote, a brother he lost to cancer who did try the medical route and died after a miserable treatment course. He even acknowledged that the prognosis was dire for his brother from the onset, and they described medical intervention in the brotherās case as a long shot versus his being probably curable. We tried to share our own anecdotes about friends and family that were saved by cancer treatment, but ultimately nothing could overcome his personal experience seeing how much the medical treatments made his brother suffer and it failed to help in the end.
which he inherited from a Venusian Space Magic cult who believe the Roswel landing was people from Venus who gave us the raw fruit diet to heal all human illnesses because thatās what they do on Venus.
I thought it was eating a raw fruit diet?
Most of thatās false though. He couldnāt build a good smart team, Wozniak could. He was very good at screwing others out of ownership in the company they helped build though. He was also very good at one thing, envisioning a computer in every home, and a computer in every pocket. That was his one true talent.
But he was not āsmartā. He died to cancer detected early enough to heal with modern medicine, but chose quack treatments instead. There really isnāt any such thing as general intelligence. Everyoneās got very specialized knowledge in some topic, and are idiots in everything else.
Na, that is just historically inaccurate. The original Macintosh team collected their stories/memoires at folklore.org, which give you a pretty good overview of his talents. He was really mercurial and Woz was the better engineer, but played a really important role in the vision/design of computers as we know them today. In the original Mac team others did the engineering and Jobs never claimed to be and engineering type of person, but he had a good feel on the importance of design, clear visual metaphors and good interaction design and pushed the team relentlessly into that direction.
Jobs was a salesman, Woz the engineering brain.
He was quite good at marketing. He wasnāt a technical guy and apparently wasnāt terribly good at driving technical people either. But he was great at selling whatever the tech people came up with.
His only smart trick was to sell things super expensive to flatter the ego of the buyer. Itās not rocket science.
The focus on the user experience, rather than the underlying tech, was Jobās key insight.
aka he was an idiot who didnāt want to / was too dumb to take the time to understand machines.
Thatās the opposite of genious lmao. My boss is the same.
some, like me, are idiots in everything
elseI doubt that.
Quack treatments meant he could keep working. Modern medicine would mean he would have to admit his beliefs about human health were wrong.
Time has been kind to Mr. Jobs. Read about his early years at Appleā¦ he was famous for skewering anyone that disagreed with him. He also had lovely habits like parking his sports car in handicapped spots so he didnāt have to walk as far. You canāt disagree with his talent for running a company that did an awful lot of innovation, but he wasnāt a nice guy. He named one of his first products, the Lisa after his daughter, but didnāt treat the actual daughter that well.
For a āsmartā person, his death was quite possibly a very unintelligent way to go. He basically decided to give all kinds of āholisticā crap a chance to treat his cancer and avoided medical intervention for almost a year. If he had gone with the medical path from the onset, he might still be alive today.
But he did have his moments. Like how he basically told the music industry to cut out the DRM, because it just made the ecosystem impossible. Or one time when someone was picking at him over abandoning OpenDoc in favor of Java (Java didnāt work out either, but his response was on point, without being dismissive of the person).
Cancer sucks. Itās hard to judge someone from dying when everyone dies. I do agree with you that treatment would be better. However finding out you are going to die has a grieving process. He took too long. But I kind of get it.
He also told the daughter it wasnāt named after her for most of her life.
I may be misremembering but I think she wasnāt a child anymore by the time he acknowledged that he was her dad.
He also told the daughter it wasnāt named after her for most of her life.
I may be misremembering but I think she wasnāt a child anymore by the time he acknowledged that he was her dad.
Sure, just like he told her about Santa Claus for most of her childhood. Youāre right in that he did come up with some ridiculous backronym like Local Information Storage Architecture or something but letās be real ā he didnāt have a lot of daughters and he could have named that computer ANYTHING. That computer was named after her, full stop.
Musk and Jobs are both business savvy people who had good publicists. The difference is Elon fired his good publicists years ago so now we all know the truth.
Steve Jobs was a bad guy. He wasnāt much better than Musk. He was just smart enough to not fire his pr team.
Jobs was just as sociopathic as Musk. You have to be to lead any corporation that relies on profit and is public. People that worked closely with Jobs often said he was an arehle and didnāt care about peopleās feelings.
Youdonāt have to be a psychopath but it does work out that many who do lead these places are psychopaths.
It would be difficult to fire thousands of people if one wasnāt a sociopath, methinks.
Not at all, you have to weigh the loss of thousands of jobs bs the collapse of the company whereby everyone loses their job.
Thatās often NOT the case. Executives are looking at their share price each quarter. Itās rarely about the āhealthā of the corporation.
steve didnt take SHOWERS. he stunk up the office and his employees had to beg him to clean himself before meetings with potential investors and customers
You can have a high IQ and still be an utterly inept moron. I have family in Mensa and they are hands down some of the laziest, stupidest people I know.
Mensa is utterly meaningless and so is any IQ test. We hardly understand how brain works and some think we can evaluate it through some online test and assign a number to it?
Ridiculous and anyone whoād fall for that should buy a bridge from me I have in Brooklyn to become a billionaire by collecting road tax fee, ayy great deal only mensa geniuses would recognize š
Oh, I know itās ridiculous. They took my family member, thatās all I needed to see to realize that.
And the Understatement of the Year award goes toā¦
Seriously, when I first heard of this guy, I thought he must be smart. Then he started talking about things in my career field, and thought wow, thatās a stupid thing to say. The more he talked, the more I realised heās a moron about nearly everything. Now Iām not convinced he can actually get dressed unassisted.
He definitely dresses himself !
I believe he chooses his own clothes, just not that he actually puts them on. Itās a bit amazing that he doesnāt wear the same Darth Vader costume every day like some toddlers insist upon doing.
He seems like the sort of idiot who could strangle himself trying to figure out how a shirt works, is what Iām saying.
And yet executives in your career field probably would have nodded sagely, assuming that affinity to Musk would confer an appearance of intelligence to them, because they have no idea about the field either.
After spending some time in that circle, it drives me insane that the biggest idiots in various fields are the ones ostensibly in charge of them. They toss buzz words with confidence each other in a great circle jerk of money while their results are frequently no better than luck.
About the only consistent ability they have is to be complete sociopaths to screw over customers, employees, and shareholders alike. Which admittedly is a pretty powerful abilityā¦
After spending some time in that circle, it drives me insane that the biggest idiots in various fields are the ones ostensibly in charge of them. They toss buzz words with confidence each other in a great circle jerk of money while their results are frequently no better than luck.
Itās the āPeter principleā:
The Peter principle is a concept in management developed by Laurence J. Peter which observes that people in a hierarchy tend to rise to āa level of respective incompetenceā: employees are promoted based on their success in previous jobs until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent, as skills in one job do not necessarily translate to another.
Feel like I see a variant where they were never competent, and promoted based more on willingness to game the system than results.
For example, there was this guy who started about the same time as I did, and he was utterly useless. The team would largely endeavor to keep him away from anything important, but heād still screw things up and cry for help and after saddling his mistake on someone who was going to stay after hours, heād just leave and hope it got fixed. If the person sorted out his problem, heād make a big deal about how hard his problem was and now it is resolved and how awesome it was for him to pull it off in spite of the headwinds.
Some years later, the person was in an executive position and the person that pretty much did all the work he was supposed to do had zero promotions. Most of us had learned our lesson and were content to let him thrash (his work wasnāt really important), but there was one guy that couldnāt stand to see work not happen successfully, and thanks to that he was able to get ahead.
The other thing has been that work never promotes from within, they always get some exterior hire that seems to have the qualifications more like āwas a cool guy at the golf courseā or āson of a friend I owe a favor toā.
My thoughts exactly! After that it was like a domino effectā¦ I realized that probably everything this guy ever said and done was pure BS. Fake it until you make it.
A few years ago I watched a clip of Musk giving a tour of a sort of museum SpaceX has that shows the evolution of their rockets. At one point he was talking about how the more recent rockets had fewer āfiddly bitsā on the outside.
Seth Abramson eviscerated both Elon Musk and his āfanboysā who have attempted to use the billionaireās IQ as an indication of his intellectual prowess
I guarantee his IQ is made up too. Not that an IQ test actually means shit.
IQ tests are combo test of how white and how autistic are you. All tests are biased, and what do you bet when he got his super special smart boy IQ label he was in South Africa and the test administrator was another white dude.
Wouldnāt surprise me if the person administering the test was also paid under the table by Musk Snr to make sure Elonās result looked better than it actually was.
He was at a private school, itās just called tuition, and itās there to make sure powerful peopleās kids stay in power. Intelligence has nothing to do with it.
No, they test whether you need remedial education in specific areas. They do not assess intelligence as a whole.
IQ tests are not an objective measurement of intelligence! It kinda measures pattern recognition and some other skill! Its a scam to sell preparatory classes for itself!
40-50-ish years ago they quite popular! You were required to take one for uni admissions, for appliying to workā¦ Well before we found out its bs!
Itās a relative measure of performance for narrow and specific set of tasks. Itās not BS, thatās like saying the 100m dash is BS. Itās just that people have wildly overstated the general implications of the measure.
Thatās a useful comparison. I like it. There are plenty of popular anecdotes of the worldās best athlete in a particular sport attempting another and being terribly mediocre, so it probably resonates with the average person better than my usual many-types-of-intelligence argument.
The people who have wildly overstated the implications of IQ are the ones who developed and use it. Your analogy would be more correct if the 100m dash was used to measure the freshness of your breath.
Thatās the central problem with IQ. Intelligence as a thing that can be measured is much closer to āfreshness of breathā than it is to 100 meters. Itās subjective and colloquial. You admit as much yourself that IQ tests measure something, but not intelligence.
I think there is and always has been massive contention in even defining intelligence. Is it the same as wisdom? What about being smart? Are these all the same thing? How does experience inform success in general problem solving? What even IS a āgeneralā problem?
I think itās still a valuable tool to assess peoples ability to recognize and apply transformations, implications, boolean operators, and arethmetic sequences.
But the idea that it provides some insight into the innate nature of a mind is preposterous. You CAN study for an IQ test: exactly the 4 things I mentioned are things you can study, and once youāve mastered youāll be sitting on a 160+ result.
So, the base underlying assumption that these things are not learnable. That is wrong.
But, the idea that mastery of implication, transformation, boolean operators and arethmetic sequences donāt provide a foundational system for certain tasks is also maybe not quite right eitherā¦
A 100m dash time probably loosely correlates to some abstract measure of āathleticismā, which may correlate to success likelihood for certain tasks. IQ correlates to some abstract measure of pattern recognition, which may correlate to success in certain tasks.
To your point that the designers intended it to be a measure of the abstract notion of innate intellectual capacity, yeah maybe that was the attempt. Maybe thatās how they pitched it. It isnāt. Tough shit.
But that doesnāt suddenly imply itās nothing.
Like most things (a degree, years of experience, SAT score, story points, Myers-Briggs etc etc) capitalism has completely fucked them. Business is so fucking lazy they just want to boil down assesment for suitability to enumerable values on a form. Just because metrics are inappropriately used and abused by capitalism doesnāt mean theyāre not measuring something.
So, this was a super lengthy reiteration that IQ tests measure something, but it isnāt āinnate general intelligenceā. But to say itās as irrelevant as āfreshness of breathā is maybe hyperbolic.
Myers-Briggs
Myers-Briggs manages to go way beyond in the levels of bullshit compared to even these other items.
My favorite story about corporations using these kinds of tests is when some engineer I knew was interviewing at a few different major engineering firms. One of their HR people told him after one of of several interviews that the next time would also involve a personality test! He knew he had at least 2 other roles in the bag, he was just finishing up this company. He asked her - āare they also going to read my tea leaves?ā - and declined to proceed further with that company. Because the notion that HR were gatekeeping forā¦checks notesā¦engineering positions at an engineering firm by using such debunked horseshit was something that instilled zero confidence in how the rest of the place might be getting run, and I absolutely donāt blame him. I never had that as part of anyoneās hiring āprocessā - it was always something introduced later as part of some āteam-building exerciseā.
My favorite direct experience was when another co-worker who was awake and fine with asking pointed questions asked one of the people administering some āpersonality testā if she knew if they had done any tests where they gave the āresultsā to the wrong person, and see how they reacted (he was basically asking if they tested for the Barnum effect). Answer: no. (Of course)
Anyway, I suggest reading The Cult of Personality Testing: How Personality Tests Are Leading Us to Miseducate Our Children, Mismanage Our Companies, and Misunderstand Ourselves
A 100m dash time probably loosely correlates to some abstract measure of āathleticismā, which may correlate to success likelihood for certain tasks. IQ correlates to some abstract measure of pattern recognition, which may correlate to success in certain tasks.
Hard to argue that careful statement!
Hey thought of how it could be used for good, to support:
valuable tool to assess peoples abilit[ies]
I imagine a school administrator examining the tails of their schoolās distribution and using the knowledge to personalize education. Say, a bright kid isnāt being challenged and achieves straight Cs. (Privacy and fairness implications, I know)
Yeah I think using a renamed version of the test could be a good way to try and find gaps between aspiration and current state of foundational skills, for certain aspirations.
If a kid dreams of being a lawyer, but their scores are on the tail end, thatās a perfect opportunity to revisit the foundations of formal logic. Just because some kids have managed to grok those foundational concepts independent of school doesnāt mean others are incapable. Because letās face it, secondary school isnāt teaching formal logic.
That being said, real tailored mechanisms would be superior to finding gaps. But, in the absence of such mechanisms, an IQ test could be an accessible stand-in.
I can agree with most of this. Capitalism, and society in general, banked rather hard on Galileoās old saying,
āMeasure what is measurable, and make measurable that which is not so.ā
They took that to mean, "Give every facet of everything an objective measure in order to determine how make imaginary lines go up so imaginary numbers in our bank accounts go up.
I had an IQ test once for the job.
I had 140. They gave me an offer.
I declined. I donāt want to work with other smart people, they are notoriously hard to work with
The 100m dash measures exactly what it says; the ability to dash 100m. Intelligence Quotient does not measure what it says. Thatās the issue. Itās isnāt what it claims to be, so is BS.
If the 100 meter dash was called tetranlon it would be bs! If the intelligence test were called pattern recognition test then it wouldnāt be bs!
And what if I called a rose a stinkweed?
I think itās a completely valid criticism, and I agree with the critism.
I just think semantic hang-ups are reallyā¦ Exhausting and of minimal value. Terrible ratio.
Extend the principle of charity, hurdle it, then get to the meat.
My issue is not with its name!
The companies still are trying to sell IQ test off as objective measurement of intelligence and overwhelming measurement of the population believes it to be so!

I am really not sure what you are trying to say, sorry!
But the test were invented in the 1800-s by a French dude for preschool kids to see who requires more attention for their development?
Well said.

We had to take a mandatory IQ test at the beginning of military service, my score was in the highest percentile and because of this I ended up in officer training. It wasnāt the Mensa type test, they measured our language, math and pattern recognition skills with a vast battery of questions with a time limit.
Many friends of mine got average IQ scores in the army test but they are the ones who are really smart and extremely succesful.
In university I got a chance to take the Mensa type test and got ~140 points. I just laughed it off since at the same time I was struggling to pass my courses, while my friends who got average scores passed them with ease.
I do not consider myself really āsmartā in any way, I just have a very good memory and Iām pretty adept at solving problems. Otherwise Iām just about as average a guy can be.
Uh-huh and everyone stood up to clap buddy?
You know, its a thing to jerk off to yer fantasies but your fantasy is a high IQ score? Really? Was Ariana Grande not in danger in your dreams or something?
No.
The whole point - which you seem to have missed - was that getting a āgoodā score in some test can mean very little or nothing in real life.
It just means that youāre good at that sort of mental exercise.
No that meant that you could afford a 2-3-4 week long preparatory course!or were pursuing one of a few very specific fields of mathematics! And you putting good in quotation marks strongly insinuates that you have no idea what a 140 on an IQ test means, which makes it absolutely impossible for you to have received it since it would have been explained to you! And ppl do tend to remember the equivalent of winning the olimpics, you know?
But I am sure that you received military training 40-50 years ago! Say, where and when did you receive it under whose preliminary command?
Iāve never taken any preparatory courses for anything and Iām not really good with mathematics, so no and no again.
And why I put the quotation marks around good is a reflection of my native language, we do that when one wishes to express their personal disbelief or doubt. I am well aware that the ~140 score is considered a good one by the designers of the test.
I served in the late 90ās and there have been several refresher courses but Iām not at the liberty to discuss any specifics of service matters publicly. If you have done military service you know this.
IQ tests went out of fashion mid 80-ties and they were only ever required in the very very top universities! There is no military academy in the world where you would have been asked for one!
140 is not a good a score! 140 is fucking legendary!!! Which would have been again explained to you if you ever achieved that, which again you would remember since its the equivalent of winning an olympic! But you donāt have a singular fucking clue what a 140 means on an IQ testā¦ How very curiousā¦
Ones military service starts at the end of their training, then you will be required to put your oaths down! Your bulshitting couldnāt even be chalked up as a semblance of protecting your anonymity! Graduation lists of military establishments are not public and even if they were there are 70-200-ish cadets in every year!
And soldiers can and do talk constantly about their service (ps thats how you can spot valor stealers on the internet, ppl like you :))! They are not allowed to talk of restricted info and missions! If you were a career secret sevice agent, you would not talk about being a soldier on the internet!
Another thing that makes absolutely no sense are the refresher courses and is a quite stupid attempt of weaseling out of the question! Most manuals were written in the 60-ties and have yet to be updated! And if you received new equipment you would not be sent back to uni! You would be taken to a field to practice with it!
Now tell me! Does your minsicular penis feel larger for lying and pretending to be a big man on the internet?
Read it again. This post is not a flex.
He edited his comment, look up his edit history
Yes! If you know how to look up edit history, please do so! There has been no editing on my part.
Pffffffffffffffff š
You know its so sad that this might even work out for you, after all Trump supporters too refused to read the jan files
But you have yet to answer my one question! Does your miniscular penis feel larger for lying on the internet?
I donāt know if itās fully BS. Itās just another data point to add for the ahhkkksshhualllyy crowd imo. But pattern recognition I think has high importance in actual intelligence.

If I were to sell you a medicine that helps with mild headaches as an all healing magical remedy would you call it bs?
Iād call it great for headaches and not great for anything else.
I wouldnāt call it bs because it works great for headaches. Iād call the claim that it works for everything as bs.
ā¦
Dunno. I donāt really get headaches. I wouldnāt buy.
ā¦
Yes, thank you!
I agree. Its also super biased. I wouldnāt be surprised if it correlated with financial success in certain demographics in certain locations/communities, but like you say, itās not an objective measure of intelligence.
Full-scale cognitive batteries (sophisticated IQ tests) are greatā¦ for diagnostics. If someone has difficulties identifying the domains where the need extra help, accommodations. I order them all the time and they guide me on how to manage patients. The most telling thing about IQs is that Iāve never seen it in on a resume, not even mensa memberships.
But surely you are aware that companies are trying to sell it off as objectively measurement of int, successfully so since most of the population regards them so? This lil part is my issue!
of course. they do it because people are insecure.
Being interested in an objective measurement of your intellect? Silliest fucking thing I have ever heard!
The belief that an commercial IQ test is an āobjective measure of your intellectā is a pretty good subjective measure of your intellect.
I am sorry, it is silly to think that in intelligence test measures intelligence
So, you know how thereās a button on the top-left of your keyboard for ending sentences? Believe it or not, thereās also one on the bottom right as well! It looks like this: .
Perchance you should demonstrate it in your own sentences?
like this .
If you meant the dot(?) as a demonstrative then you yourself have not ended your sentence! If you meant the empty before the dot(?) as the demonstrative then you make no sense!
What you want to bet he had someone else take the test for him lol? Judging by how he plays games and all, it seems to be his m.oā¦.
he abandonded his schooling once he got his visa, and did some shady sht to get his BROTHER one too. hes more or less just a richer version of trump, just slightly"smarter".
What about his intellectual bankruptcy?
This is such a burn! āAbramson noted, āIt is also a particularly American disease to confuse wealth with intelligence and corporations with those who own them.ā
For many evangelicals, they also associate wealth with divine blessing.
Also any sort of success.
If youāre chronically ill or have family problems or are poor, you must have done something to deserve it, because god will reward the worthy. Makes it really easy to be bigoted.
Presumably his companies must just run themselves, because we seem to be expected to believe that heās running a rocket ship company, an electric car company, one of the biggest social media sites in the world, moon-lighting as the de facto President of the United States, while also dicking around on Twitter all day long and being one of the worldās #1 gamers and parenting like 15 children or whatever itās supposed to be now. (Or at least, the ones that are still talking to him I guess.)
Those are probably corollaries to Worthingtonās Law. āHe makes more money than you do!ā
I donāt remember the quote exactly but.
āItās just so dumbā āSo dumb itās geniusā āNo itās just dumbā
perfectly encapsulates musk.
From glass onion lol. Great movie, btw.
Janelle Monae crushes it in her role. I mean absolutely crushes it. In it she is acting in the role of a character acting in a role, which is actually really hard to do in a really satisfying way, and she absolutely pulls it off. Whatās more is that she lets the veil slip just enough, as an actress, for the character playing the role to be believable as an actress. Like her music and visual artistry as an R&B performer is incredible, but thereās still a part of me that feels like the world lost something from her not going into acting. But if she had, sheād probably have put out an album that would make me lament she hadnāt focused on R&B.
They should make the story of Trumpās life but have Lisa Llampanelli play Trump.
Itās in that movie but itās not from it. Did you seriously think it had never been said before that? Itās been used for centuries in different forms, even exactly as said in glass onion.
Same with āitās so bad itās goodā both with and without ānah, itās just badā after. I think one of the most well known things like that is āThe Roomā, and many reference that movie when something else fits the description but itās not at all from that movie, it existed long before it.
Who shit in your coffee this morning?
Nah, I thought that quote from the film summarized it quite wellā¦
Miles Bron --> Mr Elon is B?
Yes, he was intended to be a fictional stand-in for the muskrat.
I want it to be an anagram, since it has Elon in it. Never figured out a great one.
Elonās brim? Mr Elon sib?
Born slime.
Bin morsel.
Didnāt one of Trumpās professors call him one of the dumbest students he ever had?
In that light, these two are perfect for each other.
Iāve met a couple people whoāve met Trump, and letās just say āHeās the dumbest person Iāve ever metā is the default opinion of him.
like kim dotcom. same guy to me.
Thereās this website that listed bunch of stuff about Kim Dotcom and his ventures. (the list barely scratches the surface. But the important thing is that people thought he was hack decades ago.)
When I visited the site last time, I was like āohhhhh, theyāve found a picture of Kim wearing an SS helmet. I really didnāt know what else I was expecting.ā
Wasnāt he German?
Iām surprised that the website doesnāt list Felon Muskow as a charlatan.
Who?
Itās giving Oblivion NPC lmao
Not trying to be an ass, but do you have a link to that tweet?
Not op, but here you go: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1886318915707375664?mx=2
Just add ācancelā after x for a Nitter link.
https://xcancel.com/elonmusk/status/1886318915707375664?mx=2
The ass is the one who posts screenshots of a website without linking to it. Especially if its a screenshot of text
We donāt need to link to X.
I suggest linking to Nitter instead. Easy way to get a link is to add ācancelā after X (and before .com).
https://xcancel.com/elonmusk/status/1886318915707375664?mx=2
We need to link to all sources. If the source is malicious, replace the dots with [.]
No. We donāt. We donāt need to feed X.
Want to know the souce? Google āmusk x āyou have committed a crimeāā and itās the top return.
Not hard at all. Donāt feed that troll site.
Again, youāre not feeding it if you replace dots with a [.]
What youāre doing is preventing misinformation
I know you have but what did I do?
Elonis a highly productive con man. He fooled me when I bought the FSD option on my Tesla in 2019 for $8k. When I sold it, the market only was willing to pay $1500.
Congrats on getting out of the abusive relationship, but may I ask why you believed him in 2019 when it was clear he had been lying and promising FSD for nearly a decade at that point? Were you just not following the news all that closely and took his word at face value? Or was the promise, if it came true, just so tantalizing that you turned a blind eye to the turmoil surrounding Musk? Thanks in advance, I love learning about peoplesā thought processes after they have realized they made a mistake.
Personally, I donāt blame anyone being fooled. He has an army of social media cultists obfuscating reality for him without him even asking. Itās hard to see the truth when itās drowned out by religious doctrine.
also his PR team was really good for a long time. If he hadnāt called that one diver a pedo I think it would have taken much longer for his facade to break.
Yeah that bitch still own me 20 bucks when he closed my paypal account. What a cunt
Man this book will probably be banned before it comes out
yes. and it doesnāt matter. donald trump is a moron, but heās evil, and has failed upward to be president of the united states twice, first time a million americans died due to a purposefully inept covid response, this second time, heās going to beat that number by ordinates. everyone so fixated on how smart or accomplished these nazis are, it does not matter. This is a way for everyone to feel better that theyāre smarter, or know sooooo many people that are smarter. If we were smarter, they wouldnāt keep fucking beating, and killing us. IQ means nothing, itās what you can leverage with what you have individually or within or at the forefront of a group that does. And these Nazi fucks know how to do that.
Yes, they have a particular narrow cleverness about how to abuse people and systems for their own gain. Since fascists only care about power, pointing out that they are dumb, hypocritical or inconsistent doesnāt achieve anything. All they see is that youāre keeping yourself busy talking while they load their guns and prepare the camps. The only way to fight fascism is to actually fight it.
If we were smarter, they wouldnāt keep fucking beating
Well, the problem is that there are a whole lot of stupid people that are easily convinced to vote for people like this, even if our side believes in putting smart, experienced, educated people into power.
So, even if we are smarter, we are outvoted by a lot of very stupid people (in some instances - in other instances, itās because of extreme gerrymandering and āgiftsā like the Electoral College, so even if we get a majority of people to make the sane choice, we still end up losing ).
Lastly, the weasel apparatchiks on their side have found ways to peel off voters with things like Gaza and the fact that Democrats have not given them a pretty pony, too.
Ahh, i loved reading this. like blam on a sunburn. cold water on a hot day.
I think i discovered i have a kink for people shit-talking about tech CEOs.
Blam!
alright, one sec, registering BLAM! as skin lotion brand.
Perhaps if you could package it in a ninja smoke bomb form. So you get to the beach, set up your blanket and cooler, take off your t-shirt and pull a little yellow ball out of your pocket, and THROW IT DOWN BLAMO!
The sun has no power here!
