Beautifully articulated
Elon Musk is without a doubt the most grotesque example of extreme wealth being mistaken for virtuous genius that Iâve ever seen, no contest.
A dude whose business empire has had the exceptional luxury of upwards of $38 BILLlON in government contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax credits that lectures us on government waste, fraud, and abuse.
He takes a literal fucking chainsaw to government aid, while hundreds of thousands die from the lack of access, and simultaneously engorges himself at the public pig trough of endless money.
He then takes the grift cash to buy elections, outright rig them, gains extraordinary access to the backrooms and convinces panting sycophants that heâs âfighting the establishment.â
He IS the establishment.
Years and years of missed deadlines, self driving promises just around the corner. Spectacular theatrical marketing presentations presented as new technology, with an army of ball riding zombies to explain why his latest failure is actually evidence of 5D chess wizardry.
All in line to be the friend he doesnât have.
He was emailing Epstein to find about the âwildest partiesâ on child rape island, and you people still clamber.
Speaking of mouth breathing followers, the cult surrounding him is even more disturbingly dangerous.
Every glaring contradiction becomes an insult worthy misunderstanding.
Every dumb comment is a masterpiece. Every legitimate totally fair criticism becomes proof that the questioner is stupid, jealous, or secretly working against humanity itself.
Itâs so blatantly a cult.
At what point does this bizarre admiration become deliberately and completely giving up independent thought?
You can acknowledge the success of his companies and the remarkable engineering feats without cosplaying that heâs some infallible prophet.
And give his employees some credit.
Heâs a trillionaire with huge political influence, a pretty pathetic appetite for public attention indicative of someone thatâs insecure, and a documented history of promise after promise that he doesnât deliver on.
Please, donât confuse money with intelligence.
They rarely go hand in hand.
Also, realize that proximity to great power is not synonymous with moral authority. The truth is historically the opposite.
And for fucks sake, stop worshipping people who wouldnât piss on you if you were on fire.
Japan doesnât like war. Some stuff happened their around 1945 that sort of made the nation rethink their stance on it.
Imagine being so smooth brained that you post this take.
This is the most embarrassing thing Iâve ever seen.

Let us know in the comments if you'd like a full breakdown of how it was done!
Creative collaboration with @WonderStudiosX and director Dev Walker @glumlot_
Respect to them for matching each otherâs freak, but also I canât help but feel like thereâs some weird power dynamic shit going on here
Bryan Johnson's girlfriend is tracking her own 'nighttime erections' - with a special 'techno tampon' trib.al/UE1hoYX
Corgi has cold called me twice about a company called âUltra Information Solutionsâ which I donât own⊠it also sounds like a fake company
Lolol the âsophisticated recording deviceâ is literally a Seeed Studio XIAO Sense dev board with the camera removed and an antenna added. It costs like $15 and you can order it on Amazon.
Been working at Listen for the past few months. The team and product are excellent. Exited to see what we can do with Salesforceâs reach and resources!
Exciting news: @ListenLabs is joining @salesforce .
When @itsalfredw and I first met, we dreamed of a world where AI was as capable as it is today. But we knew intelligence alone wouldn't be enough. It had to deeply understand the humans it's built for.
That idea became Listen.
Since we started in 2023, Listen has interviewed millions of people for companies like Microsoft, Anthropic, and Sweetgreen. I am so proud of the product and the team we built.
Now that world is here. AI can build almost anything. Knowing what people actually want is the hard part. With Salesforce, when the transaction closes, we can bring that to every company in the world, much faster than we could alone.
We're just getting started. Back to work!
People just love to say shit
I've worked with brilliant designers in my life and Astra/Opus outshine them 10x when it comes to not only design aesthetics, but remarkably creative UX solutions, in 1/1000th of the time.
If we were being doomerish about it, Astra and latest Opus mark the death of designers the way models in 2025 ended coding.
So sad, but really cool of NYTimes for doing a special treatment for this. She was way too young.
This was a very nice obit for @animatedtext, probably one of the most influential people in internet culture of the 2010s and how things look now
