"I forgot to add that I am my own worst enemy by far," Musk said. "No need for others to dig my grave when I’m doing it so well myself."

Rare moment of self awareness from Elon?

More like legal backpedal

I don't want to click that link. Are you joking or is that a real quote?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

It's a real quote from the article. I haven't investigated further to verify.

Edit: I have some bad news

Yeah I suppose at this point it’s a mixture of unlimited wealth, unlimited cocaine, very limited self awareness and very limited imagination

[–] harry_balzac@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago

I think it's Ketamine in his case. Of course, he is using it under the strict supervision of his personal doctor, Joe Rogan.

I need evidence. This one is too much... I'll be back after I look around the internet.

Edit: Wow. Just wow. I just... What the fuck is wrong with this guy? Proof (warning, it's a Twitter link).

Man I hope I never end up super rich or famous because I was a loser in my youth and I don't want anyone digging that shit up lol

[–] treesquid@lemmy.world 55 points 11 months ago

It helps to not be a loser right now. Elon is in his 50s and still acts like a childish, insecure douchebag. The fact that you are able to acknowledge your previous loserdom makes you already less lame than Elon. No amount of money can make him cool because he completely refuses to ever work on himself.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 45 points 11 months ago

This was from Tuesday (the comment). A 52 year old man posted that, though I use the word "man" loosely here...

[–] petersr@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

I think you might be in luck.

[–] curiosityLynx@beehaw.org 11 points 11 months ago

You'd be just fine if you remain a decent human being rather than becoming an egotistical and racist pile of garbage.

Also, Musk was born rich and basically bought his fame.

This meme makes a good point, he's so fucking cringe.

I know he's said a lot of idiotic shit lately but... seriously? He actually said this? Jesus Christ. He truly has reverted into a lonely 4Chan teen.

[–] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 13 points 11 months ago

All billionaires are like this when you take away the PR.

Daddy didn't give affection, and the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear.

My theory is too much blow and huffing his own farts to the point where his brain has turned to mush.

So if you have to be 13+ to even sign up for Twitter why would they let him be the CEO?

The main difference is that this one has the money to do a much bigger Columbine.

Plus, he's got massive influence on his fanboys who worship his every move

[–] ManOMorphos@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

If you gotta say it out loud, it probably isn't true.

[–] ohitsbreadley@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

He really would have done well as the lead in a fictional Michael Jackson biopic that's an alternate retelling of how his life took a turn in the mid/late 90s, when he discovers that he's actually in the Matrix and is the one. And instead of Annie, we're asking "Neo, are you okay? Are you o.k. ne-o? -- Sha-mona"
