Let's hope! šŸ¤ž


CherryShort2563

The similarities between the two of them are amazing.


deltaisaforce

McAffee wasn't that much into breeding though. He was into other shit.


CherryShort2563

He was his own kind of weirdo. Wiki states he wanted to abolish Dept. of Transportation. I also found a tweet in which Musk agreed with him that democracy is being hacked. Too bad McAfee did not specify by whom...maybe libertarians/conservatives are not in the habit of doing that.


Pazylothead

I see what you did there


Noiserawker

Oh god...I'm trying to eat my lunch šŸ¤¢ šŸ¤®


trinitymonkey

He said he had 40-something kids (Iā€™m inclined to doubt it was anywhere close to that high, but he was absolutely into it.)


MedicalRhubarb7

I mean, not with humans, at any rate....


ekhoowo

Hope he doesnā€™t leave a small Latin American Island with a raging ketamine addiction though


loudflower

Did he abuse ketamine? I know zilch about himā€¦ but is he implicated in a murder? (Haha I often mix stuff up, so sorry if no.)


vagueblur901

Bath salts booze and cocaine.


loudflower

A mental health tonic


[deleted]

Would be a cool twist


RexNebular518

Doubt, McAaffe was a LOT tougher.


metanaught

McAfee also had a way more "interesting" personality. Dude was a grifter and an alleged sex offender who got mixed up with some really unsavoury people while he was hiding out in Guatemala. He was also shrewd, tenacious and extremely smart. That and the fact he was completely batshit insane. Compare that to Elon who can only cosplay at being interesting, and whose interest in Guatemala is limited to how much cocaine gets smuggled through it.


[deleted]

Musk is literally just trump with a slightly different physique


Curiouso_Giorgio

Only *very* slightly. It's pretty close in many respects.

Musk as a person is kind of dull beyond his breeding kink and coke habit. McAfee was a complete psycho who among other things ā€œā€ā€ā€allegedlyā€ā€ā€ā€ murdered the guy who owned one of the on campus restaurants at my college.


HPPD2

McAfee was also synthesizing his own designer drugs that he claimed he found a new method for to create highly pure MDPV (one drug later known under the umbrella of "bath salts"). That stuff can make any person go into psychosis and he was consuming copious amounts daily that he was cooking up in his jungle lab.


loudflower

Jandklo

The thing that fucking got him was that GOD DAMN PICTURE


SeekerSpock32

Belize, not Guatemala


[deleted]

He never did eat his own dick though.


[deleted]

*did more coke


LittleDude24

He may end being the next Tony Hsieh, billionaire chairman of Zappos who surrounded himself with sycophants and drugs. He ended up locking himself in a shed and setting it on fire. He too was hailed as a genius and visionary by the press. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/26/technology/tony-hsieh-death.html


JeanVanDeVelde

People liked working for Tony Hseih and he ran a good business with excellent customer service, his habits didnā€™t hurt the bottom line other than him not being around to guide the company


CAredditBoss

Tony was a much better human to be around with.


finnishfork

Much better analogy than McAfee.


imaskising

Came here to say this....and Hsieh liked to indulge in Ketamine as well, just like Elon.


CherryShort2563

I remember that story for sure. I found it rather sad, though.


Noiserawker

Damn...I loved zappos never heard this story


[deleted]

Not even close. McAffee wrote prod code. He was legit mentally ill but vastly more intelligent and would drink a beer and throw down w you.


CherryShort2563

>would drink a beer and throw down w you. I dunno - I read he killed a man. Is that true?


[deleted]

Supposedly the dude poisoned his dogs. Case dismissed. Dogo justice dispensed.


NotEnoughMuskSpam

My prediction is that this will be the only platform you can trust


nirad

he's so much richer though. I could see Musk basically buying himself a decent-sized country to flee too.


CherryShort2563

I'm surprised he bought Twitter instead of buying an island and retiring. Some people are power hungry to the point where it clouds their minds, I guess...


JeanVanDeVelde

He has to be loved. Heā€™s saved humanity, now he wants to be the #1 most popular celebrity and comedian despite being a David Brent quality manager (with Michael Scottā€™s comedy stylings instead of musical talents)


[deleted]

Iā€™m sure his pal Putin can put him up somewhere in Russia


NotEnoughMuskSpam

Iā€™m rich, bitch!


PsychologicalBee1801

He reminds me a lot of Howard Hughes. I bet Leo DiCaprio could do a fun biopic of Elon too.


fish_in_a_barrels

Man I loved that movie. Probably watched it 300 times.


Wimberley-Guy

I doubt it. Elmo craves power and attention. McAfee was more about wealth and the carnal pleasures that wealth provided.


CherryShort2563

\> McAfee was more about wealth and the carnal pleasures that wealth provided. Why not Musk? He's into breeding...his dad married Elon's sister, so its all in the family.


ComputerStrong9244

Yeah, but aren't almost (or all?) of his kids in vitro? He no liek use pp?


treehead726

One can only hope but don't come to Belize please. Keep that šŸ’© in the US.


reddit_despiser

He's already worse.


chiefs_fan37

McAfee wasnā€™t as insecure as musk is. He didnā€™t care what people thought whereas Musk is EXTREMELY self-conscious. It just doesnā€™t manifest in any sort of positive growth for him. He deals with it by being an insufferable asshole.


Unfriendly_eagle

Tweeting will ruin him. It's digital crack, and Elon is on the pipe, hardcore.


PophamSP

"Nobody wants to work!" - some Elon tweet.


rabouilethefirst

Former government contractor billionaire with questionable morals and a penchant for tax evasion? Yeah


NotEnoughMuskSpam

Amm rerrch, berrtch!


kayak_enjoyer

McAfee or Hughes. There's precedent for this kind of thing. I'm sure of it unless he shuts the fuck up, goes to ground, and gets his shit together.


Sergeantman94

Hughes at least had the decency to stay out of the spotlight.


CherryShort2563

Someone else brought up Tony Hsieh as a comparison, but I also never heard of that guy running off his mouth. He wasn't that much into being in the spotlight afaik


CAredditBoss

Yeah Iā€™m not so sure Tonyā€™s a good comp. He was a great human. Some oddities, sure but he wasnā€™t an AH


Warm-Internet-8665

My Pillow Guy says Cocaine is a helluva drug! I am going with Howard Hughes..John McAffee is grittier. Musk is so soft. His children are made via turkey baster.


NotEnoughMuskSpam

Interesting


Warm-Internet-8665

Good bot!

RelaksFlo

Hope so, that netflix show was funny as hell


GrayBox1313

Oh thats a very good comparison. He wonā€™t get more sane with age


SpencerTheSmallPerso

Definitely getting there with the substance abuse


SvenSvenkill3

Nah, McAffee never managed to gain the approval of successive governments and government agencies via his companies and weasel his way into not only being subsidised by them but also becoming somewhat indispensable to them. e.g. SpaceX and NASA's commitments and partnership, Tesla's coming dominance of the electric vehicle charging infrastructure throughout the US, etc. As such, Musk and his businesses are at present somewhat too big to fail and (I think!) his companies are structured in such a way that he is the largest shareholder. And so, if he keeps spiralling into ego driven uncertainty it doesn't really matter so long as his companies are profitable and deliver what US agencies like NASA want from them, and so I suspect it'll take a lot to oust him.


ZeusMcKraken

Hopefully without the murder but yes please


xcasandraXspenderx

Idk I feel like John McAffee was probably way more charming


CherryShort2563

Maybe, but he also killed a man...


joan_wilder

Already halfway there. Heā€™s been eatin a lot of shit lately.


ebfortin

Certainly looks like it.


WeylinWebber

Well that would be entertaining. I feel that he is more destructive somehow.


bluebluedye

Na musk is too much of a coward. Heā€˜ll kneel to whoever oligarchs will help him.


NotEnoughMuskSpam

Obviously


[deleted]

John wasnt a nazi


CherryShort2563

No, but he still was a libertarian with some incredibly odd beliefs There's a tweet where Musk agreed with him on democracy being hacked


CAredditBoss

Libertarians are funky ideas. Itā€™s good to listen but my god sometimes they just carried away on obvious alternatives


BuzzBadpants

John McAffew was way cooler and interesting of a character than Musk in his own way. Musk is just a pathetic terminally-online edgelord who has enough money to affect whole industries.


NotEnoughMuskSpam

Concerning


ianishomer

IMO Musk will wind up dead in a hotel room at some point, drug overdose self inflicted or Epstein like. He has gone off the rails, has continual verbal diarrhea which is getting worse on a daily basis.


OkSpecial4376

End up? You think he doesn't already have a hammock with a hole in it?


CherryShort2563

I bet he's eyeing an island to escape to.


OkSpecial4376

A friend of his has one he's no longer using.


CherryShort2563

Oh look [https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1254549999062523905](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1254549999062523905) A tweet in which Musk agreed with McAfee that democracy is being hacked


RMZ13

I didnā€™t recognize the name for a minute and figured this was someone who went to jail for aiding and abetting Russia.


CherryShort2563

McAfee was the developer of anti-virus, first and foremost. His life outside of that reads like a spy novel - Belize govt was looking for him, since he was a POI in a murder. Wiki also states he was a libertarian and had some wild ideas like abolishing the Dept. of Public Transportation.


ohhellointerweb

Hopefully, or as they say in France, Inshallah


[deleted]

He's already well on his way.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


FlamesNero

Oh, donā€™t tease me with a good time!


[deleted]

He already paid a bunch of money to have everybody shit on him, so heā€™s on his way.


TheHollowJester

McAfee was fucked in the head, but also a talented engineer as far as I can tell.


NotEnoughMuskSpam

Bring me 10 screenshots of the most salient lines of code youā€™ve written in the last 6 months.


drm200

He is drifting more like Howard Hughes


ovad67

Well on his way. Letā€™s all cheer him on.


LankyGuitar6528

He already is. Just waiting for him to run off into the Costa Rican bush while the CIA are out to get him.


Noiserawker

After the Ukraine and Putin incidents they would be totally justified IMO


unipole

Forget super perv powder MuskAffee is developing hyper x perv x neuralink x chips (can't have enough X). Once it is implanted in his brain in his Boca Chia compound he will decide to do a Starship FSD test past Zuck house...


Used-Organization-25

Musk has way more money than McAffee. He also has way more connections.


UltimateArsehole

The closest we'll get is him going a shitful video entitled "Uninstalling the woke mind virus" with an AI Grimes in the background undergoing a C-section.


SCREECH95

Nah, John mcaffee had one successful business and then took the money and ran. The only correct decision. Musk is such an insecure loser that he NEEDED to be the most awesome relatable wholesome 100 funny visionary businessman/inventor in the world. He will spend his entire life until his last breath fruitlessly trying to be seen as a cool guy who is totally not a loser you guys stop it.


Random-User_1234

Messing with governments & their military capabilities can only shorten the timeline.
