And yet again, he suddenly cares about truth and ethics now, because something directly and negatively affects him…
How do you deal with people like that? Is there a way to make them understand that empathy is not actually a weakness and helping others is important and good, even if it doesn’t benefit you personally at that very moment?
I want Leon to go to mars and stay there.
Why are we talking about them again?
I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again bc this just seems so obvious.
I really think Peter Theil intentionally fucked him over again and made Musk a scapegoat. Not saying that to get people to feel bad for Elon, just pointing it out bc if true, it’s such a weird cruel intentions like mind game he’s been playing for years, but now he’s raised the stakes to involve so much power and corruption on a world stage.
Idk if it’s just bc Theil really hates him or if it’s just bc he’s really a sociopath like Elon says. It would be odd for him to have it in so much for one person if it was just a sociopath thing though. Like it seems more like a personal vendetta.
When Theil and Musk worked together at PayPal, Thiel took advantage of Musk leaving for his honeymoon for two weeks, and then while he was away, called a board meeting to vote Musk out. Apparently it really changed the way Musk thought about a work life balance, and he never really was the same afterwards.
Flashforward to 2025. For months, starting on January 20th, Musk was constantly being presented by the press as this untouchable god like figure that couldn’t be removed from Trump’s office.
Looking back now though, it seems like they maybe just got Elon to handle all the dirty work, attach his face and name to some truly despicable shit, made him the most hated man in the country, then gradually everything shifted. The press made him look like an annoying nuisance who was disrespected by all the “adults in the White House,” and got everyone to start questioning if his mental health was spiraling,
Once the Senate confirmed Theil’s protege as Trump’s science advisor in charge of handling all technology and AI policy it was like somebody told Musk his services were no longer necessary. Kinda like they no longer needed Elon to leave his fingerprints on everything.
Meanwhile Thiel has been successfully lurking in the shadows making some very successful deals.
Yeah, but he can’t do no A.I.
That is such a weird little krewe though. Like honestly can you imagine how fucking awful and just so awkward it would be?
Like Yarvin and Theil I kind of get bc they’re both tech bros. Vane is the wildcard. What do they even talk about when they get together and hang out? Just general evil dickhead stuff?
Robyn Denholm: Earlier today, there was a media report erroneously claiming that the Tesla Board had contacted recruitment firms to initiate a CEO search at the company. This is absolutely false (and this was communicated to the media before the report was published). The CEO of Tesla is Elon Musk and the Board is highly confident in his ability to continue executing on the exciting growth plan ahead.
“Exciting growth” as in aggressive malignant cancer of democracy and civic decency?
