He was always a villian but tech bros wanted to circlejerk
He’d look better like this
Nah, people thought he was Tony Stark but he was really Justin Hammer.
No on is looking at elon like that,and no one ever did
15 years ago I thought he was a dorky rich guy with a well-connected publicist.
10 years ago I thought he was a too-full-of-himself car manufacturer who bought his way into the game who overestimated his own engineering prowess.
5 years ago I thought he was an asshole and wondered why other people seemed to respect him.
Now I think he's a pathetic rich guy who got used and thrown away by Trump, the guy famous for using people and then throwing them away. Fuckin' cuck of a chump who could have his cock in the US's pussy and still wouldn't have the balls to fuck.
These days he looks more like this:
Fuck Phony Stark
Elon as Thanos? Naw, Thanos was right. Elon? Not so much...
Absolutely not.
Musky was an obvious scumbag since ever, just a money-grabbing mentality even if it means doing shitty things.
But it's easy for people with monies to just create a whatever fantasy image they wish.
I'm man enough to admit that I thought he was the closest thing we had to Tony Stark even though I knew at the time he wasn't really that close to Tony Stark, and now I know just how wrong I was. Damn.
Round Iron Man 2 coming out and his cameo, I kinda felt that way too. Some 2-4 years later that feeling was entirely gone.
Relax, Thanos and Iron man had real power.
Nah, he’s Ellis in Die Hard, or Burke in Aliens.
Jack Black in Tropic Thunder.
"It's not drugs! They're jelly beans!"
Was more or less aware of who he was until the cave incident where all his worse tendencies came to light with enough reach to get to me.
Then some research later, I was aware of tech bros and their ilk.
Musk as Lex Luthor would be a better fit, and even that might be insulting to Luthor.
At least Luthor is actually intelligent.
He fired the public image prople because he thougth he can do it better.
I always saw Musk as a dumbass who didn't know what he was doing.
BLUE MAGA MODS DELETE THIS FOR RULE 2!!!
LOL
Back then he had a PR team. He probably fired them because he started buying their lies.
But Thanks did nothing wrong, he was the good guy in that story. Misunderstood, but he had the right idea.
