I love Elon, but what he did is just cringe.
Who loves Elon ?
Adrian Dittmann loves Elon!
I love him.
his ex wives and children
oh wait sorry i thought you said hates not loves
typical pig like people I guess?
huh
I’m up voting you simply because eu think it’s brave to say that on Lemmy 😅
Yeah, Lemmy is crazily echo-chambered. If you don’t actively shit on Elon for absolutely everything he does (be it good or bad) you get downvoted and called a bigot.
Why can’t people be normal and shit on Elon for bad stuff and praise him for good stuff. There is not a single person in the world that is 100% good or 100% bad - everyone is on the spectrum and even the worst people have certain good aspects (and the best people have shit aspects).
Exactly, I hate him for who he is and most of what he does but the $100million USD contest to sequester carbon permanently is a fantastic thing to sponsor as we must remove carbon from the cycle and not just store it in trees.
And my point is proven. You literally said you hate him but you still got downvoted cuz you mentioned some good about him. I’m serious! This is a helluva echo chamber. They literally downvoted you for not hating him hard enough. It’s comical!
The sad part is I bet most who downvoted me don’t understand how critically important carbon sequestering is. We can’tjust plant trees. We need to permanently remove all of the carbon from the cycle that has been introduced since industrialization began.
I haven’t looked into it deeply so I don’t really know how important it is but I know one thing: Lemmy people would rather see double the CO2 than admit Elon has positive aspects.
I’m struggling to think of good stuff to praise him for.
I mean, he is pushing a lot of good tech forward. He is also fighting against bureaucracy and for freedom of speech.
he’s doing none of that
He is doing so, so, so much. If we didn’t have Elon to manage all these companies - they would be nowhere near where they are today. It’s a no-brainer fact.
They would be nowhere if they didn’t have his money. Otherwise Musk actively hinders his companies with his idiocy. This is well known from SpaceX employees.

The companies’ success is from being in fields that the employees are passionate about so they’ll grit their teeth and put up with it to be able to work there.
And fighting for free speech, are you kidding? He’s fighting for his own speech period. Anything he doesn’t like tends to get journalists temp banned or shadowbanned from Twitter for example.
So you’re telling me if Elon dies today. Tesla, spaceX, Twitter etc. will die with him?
I would agree that some of his businesses are doing well, but I would give more credit to the scientists and engineers making it happen. We found out shortly after the election that he had almost no involvement in SpaceX lately in fact.
He does get some credit for actually gathering those people and starting the companies sure, however all the insane things he’s done and is doing have really heavily undercut all of it for most people, myself included. I was a fan of his until he completely without evidence accused some diver of being a pedophile just because they didn’t want to use his awful “submersible” to rescue those Thai children years back.
He didn’t start any of his companies, he just bought all of them (maybe the exception is the boring company)
Do you honestly believe SpaceX, Neuralink, Tesla etc. would be where they are today if it wasn’t for Elon? If you say yes - I’m sorry but you have no idea what you on about.
Upvoting because we don’t choose who we love. At least you can see he is cringe and lame :)
I wouldn’t say he is cringe and lame. He is quite based actually (IMO). What he did with PoE 2 is cringe and lame.
It isn’t a great point.
Sure, what Musk did only further proves what a pathetic loser he is, but it’s the equivalent of “My girlfriend goes to another school, you haven’t met her”. It isn’t illegal or anything, it’s attempted clout chasing that blew up in his face… it’s just sad.
My first instinct was to poke fun but it’s actually important to keep breaking this overpaid influencer’s false image. He’s actively using it to push his harmful agenda.
I can‘t even tell for sure who of the two you’re talking aboout but I agree either way.
Yes
I’m out of the loop. What is the agenda?
Among other things:
- anti workers rights
- anti immigrant
- with exceptions for his own businesses
- anti safety nets
- pro fascist
- he’s began propping up Reform in UK and AfD in Germany
- pro corporate
Basically your bog-standard right-wing corporate fascist grab bag. He’s using his platforms (in all meaning of the word) to push that internationally.
Zack is one of my favorite (if not THE favorite) streamer in the world.
Rather than taking the time to try and research Elon, it’s probably faster to just read the Wikipedia entries on the German Nazi party and apartheid South Africa. That should give you a pretty good idea of what he believes and is pushing.
Have you not noticed any of the many things Musk has said and done to suppress things like civil and worker’s rights? How he’s sucking Trump’s cock so he can dictate policy to the country? How he turned Twitter into an actual Nazi mouthpiece? That’s what he’s using his image to try to push.
For once Asmongold’s outrage baiting worked in our favour
Oh, thank you, Vice! I didn’t know Asmongold was worse than Hitler.
Garbage journalism what a joke. Fuck, I still remember when Vice was relevant and renowned for the work.
But the reason Vice uses Asmongold instead of someone like Quin69, who made the video showing Elon is a fraud, is because people know Asmongolds name and it gets Vice the clicks.
FYI, Vice is now a far-right mouthpiece https://theintercept.com/2024/11/19/vice-news-right-wing-trumpism/
The craziest part of that article is
Vice co-founder Shane Smith stepped down as CEO in 2018, but has remained the company’s (…) The Canadian-born journalist’s focus seems to be trained on the southern border, with an editorial line closer to Trump campaign fearmongering than hard news reporting. (Smith is not to be confused with Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes, who left the media company and established the far-right militant group the Proud Boys).
So two of the three Vice media founders are now far right? I tried to find out more about Suroosh Alvi, the third founder, but didn’t see much. Though on his X (🤢) he posts and reports a bunch of pro Gaza stuff.
I shouldn’t be surprised cuz it looks like they all got rich off Vice, but still.
Their new podcast style conspiracy videos are just terrible, he comes across as a complete moron.
I feel like I remember them focusing on the sensation around news and not the actual news. Anything news worthy was included as a matter of context.
I felt like Vice was as if Beavis and Butthead were reporters, they went to the heart of a story that wasn’t getting much coverage and asked about people’s butts.
Shane has intense yuck vibes if you meet him IRL
Not a surprise, dude gives off those vibes in videos as well.
Some of us remember when Vice was a mean-spirited, local magazine that made fun of the way New Yorkers dressed.
Not really surprising that those people turned out to be scumbags.
but the tolerent left told me asmon is far right
I mostly remember it as reporting abput random ass topics “transsexual ketamine dealers of Uruguay” type of stuff.
I think that putting in the hours to be very good at PoE2 is more embarrassing than being an amateur who only played a little bit. I say that as someone who looks forward to playing a lot.
Yeah I’ve put 97 hours into PoE2… I am far from good…I put nearly 2k in PoE1 and I did fight all the non-uber bosses at some point.
The weird thing is like, this whole situation could have been avoided if he just played the game normally rather than pretending to be some god gamer at it.
Imagine being the wealthiest person on the planet, and still being this insecure.
Fragile masculinity combined with wanting to appear sufficiently tech savvy to tech bro investors. Tech bros want nerds because pretty much every dollar they’ve ever made was off the back of some innovation of someone they consider a nerd, so Elon wants to be the biggest nerd to tech bros so they will throw even more money at his dumb projects.
It’s for the same reason he’s pretended to be a genius his entire career, he’s obsessed with his self image and being number one. He’s lied about being the best quake player in the world at some point. He’s like Billy Mitchell with more money.
He’s like Billy Mitchell with more money.
Careful there, or you’ll have two nut jobs suing you
I don’t know who that is 👴🦯
Asmongold is one of these ‘anti-woke’ YouTubers. Spends a fair amount of time complaining about women not looking pretty enough for his standards from what I’ve seen, while he himself looks like a fucking rat, with a bedroom that looks like a rat’s nest. I hate downing people’s looks and I too, have been a depressed mess with a terrifying bedroom before. But also, people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
I don’t actually follow any of these YouTubers and to be honest the only time I ever use YouTube is when I’m in the mood for some music videos but I’ve seen this asshat come up over and over in feminist spaces and places where people make fun of the anti-woke grifters and the idiot marks that adore them.
I haven’t personally seen him talk about women but maybe. Some of his other talks about current events seemed very reasonable, though, so I thought he was pretty OK.
Here’s the most recent take of his that I’ve seen:
But he’s definitely a repeat offender in these circles.
When I searched Asmongold “hoeflation” I got a couple results of people talking about it but no results for the post itself.
I guess indexing for Xitter is broken.
It’s literally the first unpinned post on his Twitter profile.
Do I appear as the type who uses Xitter?
Nah lol, not accusing you of anything. I just thought I’d go and take a look and see if I’d been duped by a photoshopped post but there it is, right at the top. Just below his description of “Professional Neckbeard” and pinned address where all the marks that support him can send him free stuff.
Gross.
He’s already demonstrated first hand he doesn’t know how to navigate the UI for someone who has invested time to be a top player. It’s obvious to anyone that’s spent more than a couple days in any game.
Actually it’s a dumb point because everyone and their mom already know he got boosted. Both of them should shut up and stop showing their face in public thank you very much.
I want the account sharer banned though.
how does elon even have time to play video games if he’s the most busiest and hardcore guy of all time?
Who the fuck cares. Elon, is average moron playing average game. If this was something important, I could understand, but this is nothing more than attention whoring.
The Worst Person You Know
Asmon isn’t even close to to the top of the worst people I know. What even is that title?
Who the hell is Asmon? I thought the headline was referencing Elon.
Ah alright, I’ve yet to watch a single streamer.
Keep doing that tbh
Ha! I was literally gonna put down" keep it that way" and your comment popped up. Great mind!
The funniest part to me is that the wealthiest person in the world is playing a f2p game.
It’s paid early access. Everything is wiped once it’s fully released, then its f2p.
Oh I see, this is PoE2, for whatever reason I missed the “2”, thought we were talking about the first one. My bad.
It’s a reference to an Onion headline
Inb4 Bezos suspends his twitch account for “inappropriate activity”
Such a /technology/ post.
There is technology in it, like a computer game.
It’s got Elon, so it must be Technology. ;)
