I did not see this published outside of India. But not sure why. It’s all based on Xitter.
Good.
“going” is doing a lot of work here…
He’s been saying it for a while tho
It’s quite clear he has been getting steadily worse over the years, so I don’t get the rationale of your comment.
Going implies he’s not there yet and there is much worse to come.
OMG, Trump is already providing such an epic show, and Elon is clearly doing his part too. Are you saying that Elon could knock it up a notch? I thought 2020 was crazy, but apparently we aren’t even in full-on crazy mode yet. This is already proving to be a popcorn heavy season, but this could only be the teaser trailer?
🍿🍿🍿
I don’t think 3 bags of popcorn is enough. Indeed 2020 was crazy, but the first 3 months of 2025 have been even crazier.
And yes Trump and Musk will most definitely both get worse.
But the trajectory for Musk is worse IMO, I commented about a year ago to my wife, that I wouldn’t be surprised if Musk ends up committed to a psychiatric hospital. Trump is bad too, not in the same way. But his dementia is getting worse.they are most toxic codependant couple, president elon, and AND personal assistant TRUMP.
Aah, the land of opportunities. If you’re a billionaire, you can do anything.
Can confirm. Three bags ran out so fast. We’re being showered with new twists and turns faster than you can count them.
popcorn is selling out all over the place, and leopards are obese now.
Extremely heavy lift.
I expect the problem is that, when you get that rich, people stop caring about you, they start caring about your money. A string of women who just smash a kid out for him then fuck off. Kids who don’t seem to want anything to do with him. Does he have anyone he actually considers a true friend? Probably not. He’s just surrounded by bootlickers and yes men, and deep down he knows it. He’s probably deeply lonely and paranoid.
Not that I care. He’s also a cunt.
“There’s no cure for being a cunt.” -Ser Bronn of the Blackwater
one of his nicknames is also space karen.
If he wasn’t a cunt then maybe I’d care but he makes it so easy to enjoy his own suffering.
I said this long ago on Lemmy. I pity him. He has nothing of value.
If shit hit the fan I have many around me who love me and want me to succeed. I have 3 kids who rely on me and love me deeply. I have coworkers who love me. I have family who love me. I also love all these people back immensely.
What he has is stuff. Stuff leaves you cold and empty inside. He has no one who loves him. He’s probably a cold, cruel and heartless person when he’s alone and I bet he’s alone a lot. No one loves him for who he is.
Seriously he’s the richest man in the world and he’s so small. He deserves our pity nothing more.
I agree, except for the pity. I could no more pity him than I could a bloated parasite or leach feeding on my own children.
he looks like a doll with dead soulless empty eyes.
Yeah I get it. To many people they are past the pity phase. I struggled myself putting that. He is a broken man tearing the world down because deep down he is hurt. Hurt people hurt people.
He has thought the whole rest of the world are NPC characters for his whole life. He is an unbelievable asshole that deserves zero pity. Don’t tolerate those that don’t tolerate others in its purest form.
Don’t mistake my pity with my wanting justice. There is no excuse for him being an insufferable asshole that has negatively impacted the lives of so many people.
I am simply stating that I understand him to be a small man and in that I have pity.
I understand, but disagree. Pity is something reserved for those that are redeemable. Musk is one of the irredeemable at this point, too evil imo.
Stuff leaves you cold and empty inside. He has no one who loves him.
This is very apparent when you look at his falling out with his daughter. She basically pointed all this out, and that he couldn’t just make up for being a shitty dad for years and years by one time “Look, I sold all my stuff!” type gestures.
But “stuff” is literally all he knows, and so when he was called out on it, it seems to have absolutely broken him and now he’s on this massive anti-trans crusade as a way of getting back at her.
Yeah, but in order to get to such a position, you can’t be a normal person with normal boundaries and interpersonal relationships. He was just born Elon and he will die Elon.
In my opinion, he’s long gone mad, just look at all this nonsense with Twitter and his “awesome” ideas.
Is it time to lock him away in an asylum yet?
Approved
Soon as he starts foaming at the mouth, call animal control to come and lop his head off for the rabies study
Just to pointlessly clarify, this is article is a paraphrasing of tweets by a journalist who calls himself a Musk biographer. The quoted journalist is not, as the possessive apostrophe in the headline implies, a biographer hired by Musk.
I didn’t realize it was the guy behind the Proof series, but I like his work. His book on Elon is apparently upcoming.
Some zippy quotes from that article include:
Musk “was sued for stealing the idea for Zip2—which fired him as soon as investors got involved” and “was going to run PayPal into the ground after his company merged with it—again he was fired.” He then “invested in Tesla when it was distressed and quickly began running it into the ground.”
Musk founded Zip2, described as “a sort of digital Yellowpages” by Belmont Hill School’s The Panel Online, with his brother. The outlet reported that in an attempt to impress investors in the company, Musk “created a large, fake casing around the Zip2 computer to make it seem like an extremely advanced supercomputer” — a move that worked, but investors who put $3 million into the company did so only after Musk agreed to step down so “someone more experienced to take his place.”
The code used by the program, which Musk taught himself, “was soon exposed to be so scrambled that a majority of the program had to be rewritten by more advanced programmers.”
Musk ultimately returned to the company as CEO and benefitted financially when it was sold to COMPAQ in 1999. He used the $22 million his 7% share brought in to an “internet bank” at X.com — the same company he merged with the founders of Paypal. He was named CEO after the merger in April 2000 but was removed from the position six months later.
SpaceX, Abramson continued, is Musk’s only “truly successful and novel company” and a chunk of its success was owed to President Obama, who Musk “successfully lobbied” after “Russians had laughed Musk out of Moscow.”
What a trajectory, failing upwards at each step.
Good thing he’s a white man! Or that plan would have never worked.
Oh man… So Obama not only roasted Trump so bad that the touchy little bastard ran for office, but he also handed Elon his only genuine W.
Talk about a monkey’s paw president.
thanks Obama!
I have watched that joke start off unfunny, get repurposed ironically, fade into sincerity and circle back to being unfunny, get exhumed in a funny way, die again, and now there’s just this breccia of nuance that makes me feel weird and sad… But in a funny way.
biographers are not always and more clearly rarely “hired” by their subjects.
True, hence why the grammar used in the headline implied to me that these were the words of a biographer either hired, or at least sanctioned, by Musk himself. So I just wanted to point it out in case other people were having the same interpretation as me.
So he a Musk biographer, not Musk’s biographer.
Going?
The overwhelming majority of billionaires keep quiet and keep to themselves, doing everything they can to stay out of the limelight. Elon is someone who simply cannot shut up and will not stop attracting negative attention to himself.
Musk may well be going mad and I certainly hope he is. I hope his lack of recognition and watching his empire crumble is eating him up inside.
But Seth Abramson is not a reliable narrator let alone “biographer” whatever that means. He has a very long and storied history of embellishing facts, or placing too much weight on rumours and extrapolating way too much from them.

I’m leaving this here for no particular reason.
Depressed you say? Go on Elon, follow your leader.
So exactly like Hitler was. Great. This isn’t alarming at all.
Better for Musk to be evil and in mental decline, than for him to be evil and stable. The latter implies that he would be around long enough to see his plans through.
