Elon Musk is a dick thread

I hope he dies in the spice mines of Kessel

Honestly, I think I dislike Musk even more than I dislike Trump. At least Trump can be funny and has charisma. Musk has zero redeeming qualities.

Musk. A billionaire living off an EV empire, kissing the ass of the guy who promises to end EVs

The speaker of the House, who claims to be a devout Christian family man, kissing the hand of a serial rapist and cheater.

RFK, who claims processed food is killing people... eating mcdonalds

and then there's trump Jr.

[Ihaguitar]

Apparently members of Trump's team are getting pissed off with Musk as he wants a say on everything.

This is actually a genius strategy for getting Trump to fire Musk.

Dawkins being a bit of a dick here. Trump isnt actually that stupid. And even though Musk is quite intelligent, intelligent people can still be dicks.

What I really enjoy about the McD's photo is that, by all appearances, they all got the same thing. Which I think we can safely assume means Trump ordered for everyone. (The only clear difference I can see is that Trump and RFKJR have different drinks, but they look like shit that would've been in a fridge on the plane, rather than something McD's provided. Also, the other two eating a salty meal like that without anything to drink is psychotic.)

[Disco King]

I like the pained expression on RFK Jr.'s face.

I think the only intelligence Trump really has is the social intelligence required to manipulate people dumber than he is. The way he teases out exactly what the crowd wants from that, testing different things, and playing to that. That's still a real skill, because even manipulating dumb people isn't necessarily easy. Hell, training animals that are dumber than humans isn't easy, which is why we often pay professionals to do it for us. If anyone could manipulate people as well as Trump can, they would.

When it comes to everything else, though… here's a guy who asked if they could nuke a hurricane, asked if they could cure COVID by drinking bleach or putting some kind of light inside you, got confused between thr concepts of "political asylum" and "mental asylums" and started talking about Hannibal Lecter… he thinks that everyone is born with a finite amount of energy and exercising makes you waste it so you die sooner.

Musk has spent lot of money trying to craft his public image as some kind of IRL Tony Stark. The rich guy who actually understands science and is the brains behind his own operation. He has never actually been that. He was better at keeping up this image before he tweeted too much and showed his ass.

I picture RFK Jr.'s skin as crispy, both agonizingly painful and constantly ripping at the joints

Trump is definitely quite ignorant on a lot of matters but I dont think he's stupid.

[redbreegull]

Trump possesses a shrewd intelligence for psychological manipulation

But the guy doesn't know anything about anything.

idk he sounds like every other goofy authoritarian

how much intelligence does it take to do the fascist jig

Putin knows what he's doing. He aint stupid.

[smashingjj]

intelligence is irrelevant though, isn't it? trump, Erdogan, Wilders, Farage, Milei, Orban, Netanyahu, they're all opportunists with zero empathy and they don't seem like the most enlightened to me either, but whether they're geniuses or retarded they do what they're doing.
