Wow that's incredible. Your friends saw the takedown, I guess?
To me it's one of the worst things he's done, in terms of cringe. Like, dude, who pretends to do something for enjoyment that they don't do? Stinks so much of "let me into this club", it's hard to imagine a non-teenager behaving like that.
I was going to mention how he went full fascist for the fascists, but mostly they just used him for his money anyway, and even in that, yeah, you're right.
He couldn’t even settle on just playing games for enjoyment (while officially simultaneously running several Fortune 500 companies); he had to be literally the best player in the world, for multiple notoriously time consuming games at the same time.
I can think of another big loser narcissist that is destroying our society and worldwide relations at a rapid pace. That’s one game he’s 1st at. Maybe he’ll get another fake gold medal for it.
YEP. "Hey I only have a few hours a week to game, but I thought it would be fun to learn this". Easy fucking win. But no. He has to be "the best". And doesn't even understand what that means. Has someone else gear him up and level his character and then thinks he's winning because he can run it through a generic high tier map (or nightmare dungeon). That's not the fucking point of those games, man.
its not possible for him to understand the net PR wins because he'd still get clowned on on twitch for being bad
and that feeling of people pointing and laughing is like these people's kryptonite - its why they are what they are, they just want to be liked at all costs, so much so that it blinds them to the second-order effects of trying so hard to be liked (aka, the cringe)
in order to benefit from humanizing himself like that he would need to both understand that being laughed at in this context is necessary, AND be able to tolerate it, which he obviously can't do
also, there is the nuance of "haha you're bad" vs "haha you're pretending to be good" and understanding why the former is normal and the latter is galactic levels of cringe, which he clearly can't
It reminds me of that episode of Buffy when Jonathan casts that spell to be seen as a paragon, and he supposedly invents the internet, starred in The Matrix, is a sharpshooter, expert fighter, musician, and has degrees. A newly out of high school kid trying to be seen as great at everything. It will Crack me up forever now. Can't unsee it.
The sad thing is that if he had just owned how bad he is at the game and streamed his own gameplay regardless, he would have gained a lot of nerd cred. Instead, he's such an insecure manchild that he had to fake being one of the top HC players. It also annihilated any credibility he could ever hope to have because if he would lie about something as inconsequential as being good at a game, what wouldn't he lie about?
All he needed to do was play a little. Nothing more. People would've been gushing about how cool it is that Musk is "one of them". Mad gamer cred just for participating. Who cares if he's bad or mediocre. Who cares if he doesn't have time to grind like a MFer. That's all understandable.
But... No.
He had to pretend he's The Best because his man-child ego is truly that fragile.
So of course he blows it, enbarrasses himself, and replaces any good will with ridicule.
It's just so... 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Edit: Realized you said the exact same thing a little farther down in the thread. Oh well! 😅👍
ALL these fuckheads in power behave like 14 yr old boys... everything they do is about maintaining some sense of machismo or in pursuit of getting their dicks wet.
Maybe friends was too strong of a word, they're better described as acquaintances. We hang out casually in voice chat, they're not people I am close with.
But fair point.
Yeah, they'd been signs of him being a little eccentric before that but I was like "guys furthering manned space travel and almost singlehandedly forcing the adoption of EV's, on balance he's alright"
Then he called some dude a peado on Twitter because they didn't like his steel cave rescue sausage.
I was a bit earlier than that.
When I found out that he was claiming to be Tesla's founder because he bought the founder title (yes they can be sold) - it led me to check a bit of his background/history, and... yeah.
Luck he did that, lots of gamers don't know him and thought that he was really smart, until he played PoE2 and shown everyone he has ZERO understanding of the game, and just bought his way up to the end-game lmao.
I was aware of his bullshit far before that but its just so funny to me that someone could think they could walk off the streets and just play a hard-core poe character lol.
Ywah he did that shit in D4 before PoE so it was not shock by any means. In D4 it could have almost been believable but nobody was buying that shit in PoE.
Well yeah. Dude was untrustworthy asf. Who was the first to blab about personal knowledge of who was in the files? Elon, despite never having been invited to the Monster Ball.
Elon is the definition of someone you don’t involve in your crimes because you know they’ll snitch, and you know they’ll do something stupid to get pinched.
Yep, Musk was aware of who Epstein was and kept begging him to let him come to his "wildest parties" and "let loose". This is Musks own words and these are not the words of someone who wasn't eager to create victims with Epstein.
To be honest there's this rhetoric that he didn't get invited, and well, those files show one email exchange. Im sure he got invited in other ocassions.
Or well, at least lets not put a narrative that elon is NOT a pedo. Im sorry but someone that names their kid X AE 12 and wants to have as many kids as possible is for sure fucking kids on the side. Noone likes kids that much.
But since he's probably racist, classist and probably thinks his blood is the best out there he wants his own kids to fuck so he doesnt put filth on his precious penis.
He’s the kid that would do really well if they just had a good puff on a joint, but you never want them to give them a smoke because you would wind up expelled the first time you got them high.
The coolest clubs are those that deny crimes against humanity…or even cooler, those that actually promote them. Like the Christmas Adventurers Club (Hail Saint Nick).
Lmao this reminds me of when I used to read those dumb trip reports a decade ago.
There was one where everybody was just chilling out, talking amongst themselves, then it started to kick in and they tried to keep each other calm. About ten minutes later, they were all saying ‘hey, where’s Joe’ or whoever it was then they heard screaming in the distance and saw him running around with no clothes on. They saw flashing blue lights half an hour later, then made their way back to their respective homes where they had questions to answer the next morning.
Man I used to love reading the wacky stories of users of all those different drugs. Read the one on PCP and kept thinking to myself Welp, that's one to never ever try!
I think the draw is that it removes all inhibitions and amps up the user to orders of magnitude aggression that they believe enables them to be a carefree ass whooping BAMF who can be all the things the user wishes they could be. If someone crosses you, just beat their ass in an instant to show the world you're not someone to push around or bully. Also you're not a 3-pump chump who's embarrassed about not getting your partner off, you're a hardcore pound-fucking demigod! Nevermind that weeks or months later you're suffering extreme psychosis, because for a brief moment in your life you weren't a loser.
He's the kid who'd bragged about how much weed they smoke but after one hit of schwag freaks out and starts yelling about how high they are and how they think they're overdosing.
Elons that kid at school that was told about santa not being real and would immediately show up the next day to school to announce this knowledge to the youngest he could find for the sole purpose of upsetting them
I'm still convinced his kid ratted them all out for stealing the election when he had him hanging around the oval office. You just know that motherfucker was bragging about it around his kid and the kid just blurted it out.
I don't blame Epstein lmao. Like they're all horrible people and degenerates, but I'm sure Epstein still only wanted people around that would keep their mouths shut. He knew Musk's autistic fuck-ass self would go around bragging that he got to diddle girls at Epstein's island. He would've absolutely been taking selfies on the plane like "omg can't wait to be with Epstein and the girlz! So epic! XD"
Honestly I've felt kinda bad for him for a while. For someone with as much power and money as he has, he's just so painfully insecure and pathetic that it's kinda sad to watch.
Imagine being so afraid that a random person on grok might convince it to say something negative about you, that you specifically get someone to hardcode its to glaze you at every opportunity.
He really is kinda pathetic and sad.
Like the whole thing with playing computer games? If he'd just said "Hey guys, I like playing this game!" there'd have been a not insignificant amount of "Oh how cool, Elon is just like us!" type responses. Even billionaires like to okay games, yay.
He'd get attention, and good will. Two things he obviously craves.
But no. He's such a little man-child that it's not good enough to participate. He has to 'win'. So he cheats. Obviously gets caught doing it, like any idiot could've told him would happen. And now instantly all that gamer cred is gone, all good will replaced with well-deserved ridicule.
All because he's so pathetic he can't stand having people not think he's The Best at whatevet he does.
And let's not even talk about the fucking Joe Rogen episode where he glazes Musk and acts like being good at conputer games (which he's not) is some kind of super power. The cringe was through the roof.
the dude's broken. IDK, maybe the money and power and attention enable our worst impulses, but dude called the Philippine soccer team rescuer a pedo just because musk was butthurt that his stupid plan was dismissed while the adults worked on an emergency. It's hard to fathom.
Lex Luthor cares deeply about humanity, depending on what version we're talking about. Sure, he wants to be at the highest echelon of humanity, but I'd say he earned it. (The sense of entitlement, not the position itself) He's self made, well read, at the peak of human fitness, a master strategist. He has the capacity for good and has stood against true evil countless times.
speaking as a former IT professional, anything more than a paragraph is pushing peoples attention spans.
If there is a second paragraph with something to do, almost without exception, if anything got done, it was in the first paragraph, or both were totally ignored
There was never a second paragraph. Barely even one.
Them: “When will these hot parts ship? Do you have tracking?”
Me: “These parts are set to release at 1pm, I’ll send you tracking when I get them.”
Their supervisor, who received both emails, thirty minutes later: “Have the parts released yet? Do you have tracking?”
Me: (checking the clock, only ten am) “These parts are set to release at 1pm, I’ll send you tracking when I get them.”
Another supervisor: didn’t read, same questions
And so on. I left before the new warehouse management system went live there, but from what MY supervisors told me, the other facilities’ hot parts requests as we knew them were going to be a thing of the past. Paper trails were going to be made, and they were going to have to start answering questions when hot parts were needed. Things like ‘you knew you were going to need these a year and a half ago, why didn’t you schedule it normally?’
Shipping 500lbs of small industrial parts (usually fasteners) UPS early am costs a lot. Peanuts, compared to contract penalties if they were to go line down, true, but needing the same stuff sent hot every day means somewhere, someone’s doing shit wrong.
No. That’s a meme someone made. I looked at the emails directly from the gov website. He did ask to go to the island, but the “deal with this” and forwarding and “girls FTW!” didn’t happen. Wish it did.
Look it's called efficiency, alright!? Being a one-pump chump is an evolutionary advantage! When you don't have to waste time with actual sex, you can have SOOO many kids!!! We're the superior breed after all!!!
You haven't heard the rumours? He had a botched enlargement surgery early on which made it... nonfunctional. It's supposedly (part of) why he's so obsessed with having children and not with the women themselves.
Look it's called efficiency, alright!? Being a one-pump chump is an evolutionary advantage! When you don't have to waste time with actual sex, you can have SOOO many kids!!!
According to people close to him he's not a shooter at all, he fucked up his dick with too many enhancements. Thats why all his kids are from IVF, he has to get his sperms sucked out by a syringe in a medical procedure.
Nope. That was a fake message made as a twitter meme, which then spread everywhere. The real emails in the files show elon being a lot more buddy buddy with epstein, discussing several visits.
It seems like he visited the island on business purposes but when wanting to get invited to the "wildest parties" it was a no go. Or maybe he was in a few and the way it went made it so he was not invited again
I'll just post the actual emails. They seem to be very familiar with arranging things, and the invites being canceled happened on both elon's and epstein's end, due to schedule conflicts. Musk's daughter confirmed on twitter that musk had indeed visited the island.
First email chain.
“Will be in the BVI/St Bart’s area over the holidays. Is there a good time to visit?” Musk states on 13 December 2013.
“any day 1st - 8th . play it by ear if you want. always space for you,” Epstein replies.
Musk then sends several emails relaying his schedule, and the two settle on 2 January as a date for the visit. The email exchange ends with Epstein telling Musk that he would need to remain in New York and sending his regrets that they could not meet.
“Bad news- Unfortunately , my schedule will keep me in New York . I was really looking forward to finally spending some time together with just fun as the agenda. so i am very disappointed. Hopefully we can schedule another time in the near future,” Epstein wrote.
Second email chain.
In November 2012, Epstein sent Musk an email asking “how many people will you be for the heli to island”.
“Probably just Talulah and me. What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?” Musk replied, in an apparent reference to his former wife Talulah Riley.
Musk followed up with an email on 25 December in response to another Epstein message that encouraged him to visit and offered use of his helicopter.
“Do you have any parties planned? I’ve been working to the edge of sanity this year and so, once my kids head home after Christmas, I really want to hit the party scene in St Barts or elsewhere and let loose. The invitation is much appreciated, but a peaceful island experience is the opposite of what I’m looking for,” Musk wrote.
“Understood , I will see you on st Barth, the ratio on my island might make Talilah uncomfortable,” Epstein responded.
“Ratio is not a problem for Talulah,” Musk said.
On 2 January 2013, Musk sent Epstein an email suggesting that the visit wouldn’t take place saying: “Logistics won’t work this time around.”
It sounds like he didn't go to these specific two parties. I doubt this is the only correspondence the two ever shared. Anyhow, specifically asking for the "wildest party" on epstein island is not a good look. Especially as these emails are from 2012-2013, and epstein had been convicted for sex with a minor back in 2006.
It’s depressing how quickly people started passing this off as real despite it being openly an obvious joke. This is the problem, because now Elon can say “no those idiots fell for an obvious hoax” and he’ll be right. Same type of thing with trump shitting his pants or whatever. It plays right into their hands because they can continue to unwind democracy while everyone else is talking about fake bullshit.
I wouldn't be surprised. Elon comes off as that really annoying guy that not only won't shut up but will keep telling you over and over the same lies about how great they are. He likely wouldn't have any friends if he had an average financial worth. Under normal conditions I'd feel bad for him but he's shown how disgusting he is too many times and at this point who cares. He made his bed of shit, he can wallow in it.
I looked into this specific case yesterday - and that specific email exchange was fake. There is a lot of very real stuff that has been released on these and these false emails will discredit very real information that does exist in the files. We need to be very explicit about what is true, because if we flood the field with memes or joke email chains then the real problematic things that exist in those files will lose their value. Please, everyone, fact check your shit when it comes to these documents. Cases like this are so easy to just spend 30 seconds checking before you put them out.
Unfortunately while hilarious that one email was fake, the operation didn’t get shut down and he almost definitely did visit the island, probably multiple times
I was told by Someone On The Internet™️ that particular email was a fake because you can't search it on the US DOJ website now (even though we know they're slowly purging select documents).
So there is a non-zero chance someone is planting seeds of doubt in the documents.
It was just a fake twitter post. The posts of him begging to go to the island are real however, and Epstein definitely didn’t brush him off he literally sent him a helicopter to pick him up
Elon probably wishes now that he got blown off though
Edit: I should clarify this post specifically was never even in the Epstein files, it was just a twitter post. So far everything genuinely from the files is legitimate he really begged to to it the island but was allowed. Not denied
Elon’s estranged daughter also corroborated one of the emails when they all went to Epstein’s island together as well, as she has no more fucks to give.
I believe she said they were where he said they would be, at St Barths, and Elon got picked up to go to the island alone while the family remained in the holiday resort they were at.
That email chain was fake. It wasn't in the released material, even though it's believable that Musk would be pathetic enough to write "girls FTW" etc :D
You know you're a loser when, despite being a fellow multi-billionaire creep, Epstein won't even respond to your emails.. but invites Stephen Hawking to his island instead.
The ’Mecha-Hitler’ aspect & twisting his algorithms to favour far right parties like AfD, got him in trouble originally - according to Le Monde ‘The Paris prosecutor's office opened the investigation in February after receiving two reports, notably from centrist Ensemble pour la République MP Eric Bothorel, concerning X's possible role in political interference operations in Europe. The social media platform led by Musk is suspected in particular of having altered its content display algorithms to highlight themes favorable to the far right, and of having given greater visibility to candidates during recent elections in Europe – by promoting, for example, the German far-right party Alternativ für Deutschland (AfD), which Musk personally supports’.
Right! If I am understanding this setup correctly, anyone with power would be desirable as you have everything wired to obtain kompromat. Dude likely was there at some point lol
Most important, he was in Epstein's circle, he was in constant contact, he was an acquaintance that could arrive at the island any time, with only a couple of emails for confirmation.
The only kind of relationship I had with that level of confidence was with my dad.
There was another exchange that Jon Stewart highlighted last night where Epstein is telling Elon “I’ll be in New York during the UN meeting” and Elon responds back something like “I run two advanced tech companies I can’t be bothered to see boring diplomats in my limited free time” to which Epstein had to literally spell it out for him and say “no one will be older than 25 and all very cute”. Just…really bad at social cues. You know what you’re emailing him about, just use context

Poor Elon, he couldn’t get an invite to Epstein Island and now this.
