either he is genuinely having a laugh or he is leveraging internet meme culture to deflect from criticisms

He is not having a laugh. I reckon he messed around with a friend with production « skills » and thought it was worth sharing. He’s such a cunt I just don’t see him having that self mocking in him. If elon musk wanted you to understand he’s mocking himself, you’d see it.

Of course, but I’ll stand by my words: he thinks it’s good.

A lot of people forget this, but following the gorilla's slaying Harambe was immediately weaponized by white nationalist sites like 4chan and r/The_Donald. Elon Musk's dogwhistling of the meme is certainly a troubling development. I've been concerned about his political leanings since his appearance on the alt-right-adjacent podcast of "Intellectual Dark Web" figure Joe Rogan, and at this point I can't see myself ever buying a Tesla. Thankfully there are other companies with great electric car offerings, so next time I'm looking to fight climate change with a new vehicle purchase I'll be checking out what BMW, Chevrolet, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes, Mitsubishi, Nissan, and Volkswagen have available.

according to some timeline i read about the "$420 a share" statement, the moment elon musk tweeted it, he was currently having his tesla whiz down the highway to an airport or something. that he was on acid as this all went down gives me a great ol' lol
i kind of doubt it, though. he was probably just blazed

who hasn't caused an SEC violation; incurred $millions in fines via a single tweet, whilst having a self-driving car whiz you to the airport, on acid? it happens to everyone sometimes

I'm not against the idea, but I don't think self-driving car machine learning AI technology is at that point yet.

Acid the music or drug lol?
I just can’t find myself able to like him. And he tries, it seems he’s intent on trying to please me personally yet failing. He’s doing all the right things but I can’t help but feel that he’s a cunt.

If anyone needed a sign that we live in the worst version possible of all alternative realities, this is it.
Idiocrasy wasn't just a film but a prophecy.

Indeed, and in true idiot form I spelled Idiocracy incorrectly.
Interesting that they were both written around the same time though. The point of no return, you could say.

its like that boaty mcboat face thing, its amusing if your 10, but there were loads of adults on social media thinking it was quite clever, I know im sometimes guilty of it myself, but there is a real infantilism of culture in general, of you listen to trap music now, its sounds like nursery rhymes

hear hear (+bonus hear)
he's kind of an idiot and that's funny, only it's not because he's a billionaire and so has unfathomable amounts of power. he hasn't used that power for bad yet. or he did: he accused that rescue guy of pedophilia, which is really bad and shows his maturity. but his biggest threat to society is that he's yet another gate way to the alt right. just like Joe Rogan and PewDiePie. but i really can't help liking all three of these, so that shows the danger.
do i really like them? do i really like Musk, for instance? i do. in these clips i'm touched by his awkward demeanor, the actual stuff that he says and i can relate to his despair:

so really the problem is him talking about stuff outside his expertise
or really it is society allowing people to become billionaire
there's several problems on several levels
here's PhilosophyTube on neoliberalism, kinda makes you understand how we ended up with all these billionaires:

also there's more bad about him, like how he 'discourages' unions at his company
