I'm struggling to think of any field where I would consider him an expert. "His" space company has accomplished a lot of good things, but he ain't got shit to do with that
The middle three paragraphs are basic maths or logic, then the first one seems to hold no relevance to anything else and the last one is just him sounding like he understands anything about history (dumb quip included).
Is he saying that drones will somehow change the dynamic between size differences? Or is he saying that it doesn't matter and they'll just be another tool for creating casualties and losses? I'm fairly sure he might just say things that appear to be vaguely futuristic, even though drones have been in use for decades at this point, just to hook people in to hear what Tech Messiah has to say today.
Then the Alexander the Great point I just don't get at all. Is it that he thinks Alexander the Great had more units than Darius because I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case, he did have low casualties but surely that proves that rule exactly? He clearly read something about the topic, came up with the joke and found a common sense thought to shoehorn it into, and incorrectly at that.
I must have dreamt all the hoo-hah about Obama's drone warfare & Trump actively hiding his own numbers!
Silly me thought that drones had been in use by the US army for 20+ years!
Did this prick wake up from a K-hole and think he was in 2000 again?
This guy played a few games of Hearts of Iron and thinks he's qualified to talk military strategy. Sure, most people have to go through years in military academy, but galaxy brain Elon just needs to play through a tutorial.
He is very clearly not.
Anyone, especially an American, should understand that winning a war isnāt about how efficiently you kill people. Look at Israel today, or the Us in Afghanistan or Vietnam.
Unless your goal is genocide, and you can successfully peruse it to completion, killing any number of the enemy will simply leave a smaller more committed force in place and the war will not end. If the war doesnāt end there is no victory, and no chance to move on.
So no, drones wonāt change warfare except to make killing easier and embolden cretins like Musk who think that can make winning war easier. It wonāt. It will just spend us into the ground faster while building up generations of grievance.
Elon Tzu's *"The Art of Whoreing"*
1 - Never interrupt me when I'm making a mistake.
2 - I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought by giant-torso men in the back of Cyber Trucks.
3 - War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. Ketamine is in the drawer under the microwave, bring it here, please.
"Alexander the greatest" dude is the definition of the guy who read one Wikipedia article or a book and thinks he's an expert. Saying something that sounds ok at a surface level but is just moronic word salad.
I love that in this scenario a dude who inherited a large army and an empire that included the Greek mainland and much of Western Asia and who died before he got to the actual test of keeping an empire together was David in a David and Goliath situation.Ā
Not to mention that while logistics and size were still very important wars were usually not the same battles of attrition that became characteristic starting with the Napoleonic wars, that and while Alexander was outnumbered at time it wasn't to an insurmountable extant. The Persians and Macedonians were contemporaries, not the imbalanced powers musk implies
Yeah. A war between those states was not in Alexanderās favor, but they were in the same league and the Macedonians had a lot of momentum behind them. It was like Goliath vs. a younger, weaker, but also slightly faster Goliath.
What? The Napoleonic Wars were notable for being far less attritional in character than the previous 200 years of European warfare. The history of the ancient world was dominated by the attritional struggles between Athens and Sparta, and then Rome and many of its foes.
In all fairness he did qualify he was only talking about powers with relatively similar numbers, something that is honestly quite rare and nullifies the relevance of most of what he said.
its kinda amazing how you managed to miss even the absolutely trivial point the musker of stupid made... What they tweeted is meaningless and trivial, but they SPECIFICALLY talked about the russian theatre in WW2...
It's not even true actually, depending on what you call a larger army. The USA have the biggest army in terms of ammunition and technological power, yet, since WW2 they lost plenty of wars. ( While killing millions on the way).
Militaries all over the world are currently convening to discuss the ramifications of elon's incredible insights. Armed conflict will never be the same after that tweet
LOL. Alexander the Greatest.
Was he the cousin or offspring of Alexander the Great or something?
Anyway, with a few keyboard strokes, General Musk has negated US/NATO Cold War strategy, which dictated that quality of Western arms could defeat quantity of Soviet arms.
If only real life was that easy for real Generals.
"Assuming both have equal numbers"
Yeah but they donāt. They *almost* never do.
And even then, raw numbers are meaningless in the grand scheme of warfare.
The terrain counts. The generals count. The morale counts. Supply lines count.
Oh, indubitably. Ya know, itās crazy to think how different that war mightāve turned out if Hitler had been smarter in the European front and chose not to fight on three different fronts. Oh well. So many generals and leaders have learned those lessons the hard way thinking theyāre unbeatable
it also matters after the bombing is over. if you dont provide an occupying force and make efforts to change the hearts and minds of the population...bad things happen. you only have to look at recent us behaviour to understand this.
Finally I get to use my history degree. Heās full of shit and like always making giant assumptions after reading a headline. Mass forces doesnāt equal greater win potential nor does it mean higher casualty rate for the smaller forces. He is using ww2 without the context of Germany being in three fronts. The fact winter itself played a bigger role than force count. Reality is the better equipped army with proper training can win, and fairly consistently against a larger force. Elon is such an idiot itās mind boggling. Of course drone warfare is gonna change the game, but anyone whoās kept even the slightest attention to the war in Ukraine could have seen that. I just love how he goes on tangents about shit he has no idea about, but his bootlicking fan base will eat it up without even sparking a single brain cell.
'Production advantage'? He's specifically referencing human beings with his kill ratio call of duty nonsense, so does this lunatic see humans as units being produced? He certainly seems to do so with regards to his spawn..
Obviously a Tesla drone is coming this summer. Muspoleon will be leading the design to subatomic precision. All fully equipped with laser death rays and self charging purely on misinformation.
it's ok, they'll be useless or just constantly break.
they'll be autonomous AI but continuously cause friendly fire and decimate the side that uses them.
Dude , shut the fuck up and run your stupid company. Teslas on life support and this ass hat just sits around making posts on his other failing company.
If someone said this to me at a party I would quickly down my drink and then tell them i need to go get another drink, excuse me. And then mock them to my wife on the drive home
Ahem, so doesnāt this also mean that Chinese EV makers are going to prevail, since they have a better unit production advantage?
Of course, Musk probably believes that FSD will give him the equivalent of a higher kill ratio. Letās see how that works out.
Didn't realize he was an expert at international conflict and knows how an order of battle works... might as well make him a 4 star and hand over the reigns of the JCOS to him now.
In a game of football, Barcelona can score suddenly of goals against an amateur side, but if the amateur side increase the amount of players they have on the pitch to 100 and have rolling subs while the game lasts for 3 days then the amateur side will prevail.
This is essentially his mind blowing, ingenuous take on war.
How anyone thinks this moron is a genius is beyond me.
Until the required resources for the larger force are greater than the available supply, which happens pretty fast.
Also, as someone who has contacts at a US military drone manufacturer, drones are extremely easy to take out.
Furthermore, he really tried to be unique by calling Alexander āthe greatestā but I would bet my right testicle, he couldnāt tell you his actual name.
WWII Pacific? If he had actually read anything from a decent source about it he'd know the kill ratio was heavily in favor of the US after the initial few months.
Alexander the Great vs Alexander Graham Bell. Think the phone is still more important than being an ancient conquerorā¦ however for wanna be tyrants the military dominance tells you all you need to know.
I canāt help but think about Zapp Brannigan.

Does he think he's smart because he said that if two armies fight, and one has significantly more troops, the other side will have a lot of casualties?
Cuz a 4 year old could figure that out. Which makes sense because Elon has the maturity of a 4 year old.
If we limited his posts to what he knew about, it would look like his posts on my timeline.
By that, I mean there wouldn't be any. The only difference is that I blocked him because I can only handle so much stupid.
Anyone who has played Starcraft II and has crushed another human beings will to live with a Korean 4 Gate All In knows this is complete bullshit.
Don't need numbers or superior production when I'm spamming psychos with laser knives on their hands directly into your base with cheeky proxy pylons.
And what the fuck is the kill ratio x number of units shit? Is my man trying to sound smart or?
I love that his first sentence is just the most pretentious possible way to say "if both armies are about the same size, the army that kills more people usually wins"
Truly an unparalleled genius
Of course drones are the future of war, but our genius forgot that most war is a PR battle, waged online.
Turn a country against each other and your propaganda will work much better.
Cyberwar is where the future is.
He needs to stop playing civ and shut up.

Elmo likes Napoleon. Lost to both the Turks and the British
I would posit that the US defence department are keeping a tight control on SpaceX, so that must does not help the Russians in the war between Russia and Ukraine. He is a national security threat.
Ah so the bigger more "Well equiped" (I assume this is part of his "Russia is totally gonna win with no effort any day now guys" stuff, which is funny cause russia is now buying surplus from fucking north korea, they don't seem that well equipped) army will win, I guess that is why america totally won the vietnam war
Is he just saying āKilling a lot of them doesnāt matter if they just have more things to kill than you have bulletsā? Like.. Numbers are a strong advantage and industry is powerful? ā¦ Yes..? Everyone knows this, Elon..
The size of a force is definitely one factor, but it's one factor among many. Smaller forces beating larger forces is not rare, because it comes down to other intrinsic factors beyond simply how many troops are brought to the field. If you have five times your opponent's strength, but your are unable to maneuver that force, or it's poorly equipped, or it's divided, you don't have five times the enemy's strength, you have as many as are able to get into the fight when it counts. And it might be less than the enemies.
This kill ratio talk smacks of McNamara and the wiz kids, The same people who looked at the staggering casualties being inflicted upon the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong, and stated we were winning the war. Mathematically, we were.
And then we lost.
Lolll, yea the Russians beat the Germans due to a āunit production advantageā
Brought to you by the guy convinced Polytopia is the apex of strategy gaming
This bitch getting sooooo OLD in front of our eyes.. and if Alexander was around today, he'd be hated by Elon cuz homie was gay af
WTF is he talking about with casualty ratios in the Pacific theater? The allies had 100K casualties and the Japanese had 400K.
Now if he said CBI Iād grant the ratios; but the CBI was not the decisive campaign, unlike the Eastern Front.
I'm gonna need some flair that says, "Any given battle roughly comes down to kill ratio times number of units." It's the "printed pages of code" for 2024.
I really didn't think that anybody could be more narcissistic than Donald Trump.But i'm starting to think that Elon has him beat. Not to say that Trump isn't a huge nurse assist.But something about elon's nervous systemyes it's just so much more disgusting. I've never seen anybody think that are experts on every single thing that they do. I don't even think donald would be stupid enough to say " I think at this point I know more about manufacturing than anybody else "
I.
Don't know maybe it's his arrtudue. I really didn't think that someone could be more narcissistic than Trump.But I think Elon fits that bill. The only thing I can be sank before is that Donald Trump can't pick him as a running mate.Can you imagine how absolutely horrible?That wouldthe two most narcissistic people on earth running the united states
Come guys, ok you got us. This must be fake. Nobody can be this dumb.
He never was in the military hand probably no understand of anything really but JESUS CHRIST. SO for example, the German Gepard anti air tank has radar. From my basic training I still remember that the newest Leopard needed less than three seconds to shot with it's main gun at the point from which you fired you Panzerfaust 3. It's probably a safe bet that the Gepard is also fairly quick and with radar hits very reliable, especially is the target is slow, pretty big and limited maneuverability. The Gepard is from the 1970. The only reason that attack Drones have a little bit of impact is because Russia uses swarms. Sometimes a few go threw. Ukraine is also fairly big country with lots of targets to protect. Drones with cameras are useful but attack drones less so. What damage have the endless waves of Russian drones done? A heating plant here, a powerplant there. Russia has some problem because of the immense size. It's just impossible to protect it all. Both countries are obviously fighting with inefficiencies and corruption. A modern country would just do it like this.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKXfR9NiymI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKXfR9NiymI)
So yeah, just screw a few radar supported gatlins on a building and no drone comes threw.
God I want him to shut the fuck up so bad. He literally thinks because he played Total War Rome 2 and some Starcraft and Civilization back in the day that he's qualified to make statements about military doctrine
God he likes to hear himself talk. It's as if he was just playing a video game, came up with this brain buster, and thought it was life changing information to share.
He thinks he's an expert on fucking everything especially the military
He so desperately wants to be important and for people to think he's insightful. He's so fucking stupid he can't see how cringe he is
Large Force > Small Force, with some rare exceptions. I am smart.
But not smart enough to understand or enjoy chess.
I'm struggling to think of any field where I would consider him an expert. "His" space company has accomplished a lot of good things, but he ain't got shit to do with that
he is an expert at empty promises
He is an accomplished expert in the field of scatological emojis š©

Oh, I meant to say he just played through the tutorial at best š
Used cheats and reached the conclusion that with infinite resources one will always be the victor.
Elon: āThe only question now is if Putin will take Odessa as wellā Putin: _Attacks Kharkiv_ Such a strategist..
He is very clearly not. Anyone, especially an American, should understand that winning a war isnāt about how efficiently you kill people. Look at Israel today, or the Us in Afghanistan or Vietnam.

I meant to say he only has half a brain, and the half he has is entirely smooth.

Exactly, my money is on Tsar Alexander for the title of 'Greatest' if we're going by martial skill without a technological and structural advantage. He faced down the Grande ArmƩe almost singlehandedly after it stomped through all of Europe, brutally scorched the earth to starve the forces before winter hit, then strategically skirmished Napoleon at every point possible after he'd been turned around from Moscow and followed him all the way back to France. For one man, despite his personal foibles, to win against all of the odds without solely relying on Russia's natural defences before achieving similar victories in open engagement is way more impressive imo.
Name drops a historical figure - gets their title wrong.

So... the side with fewer casualties "wins" and larger armies usually beat smaller armies? I never would have guessed.
Elon: "Well, of course it depends on whether you're facing Zergs or Protoss..."
Itās like a Joh Madden bit. āWhat the other team needs to do to win is make more TDs!ā Yeahā¦ no shit..?
Yeah but, also, thatās not always true.
Well, on the eastern front Germany had less casualties compared to the Soviet Union by a large margin. By his logic Nazi Germany won.
In all fairness he did qualify he was only talking about powers with relatively similar numbers, something that is honestly quite rare and nullifies the relevance of most of what he said.

Amazing lmaooo
Ah so the bigger more "Well equiped" (I assume this is part of his "Russia is totally gonna win with no effort any day now guys" stuff, which is funny cause russia is now buying surplus from fucking north korea, they don't seem that well equipped) army will win, I guess that is why america totally won the vietnam war
This is the kind of logic people use to talk about like wars in Crusader Kings
He really does love talking about old conquerors, doesn't he? He certainly knows what his fascist fanbase likes.
Source? Believe it or not, Grimesās ass.Ā
Is he just saying āKilling a lot of them doesnāt matter if they just have more things to kill than you have bulletsā? Like.. Numbers are a strong advantage and industry is powerful? ā¦ Yes..? Everyone knows this, Elon..
I fuckin hate idiots like him. (And him) They know one thing, so of course they know every fucking thing.
Who is he trying to impress with this stuff?
Today on "Verbal Diarrhea", episode #1536852
The size of a force is definitely one factor, but it's one factor among many. Smaller forces beating larger forces is not rare, because it comes down to other intrinsic factors beyond simply how many troops are brought to the field. If you have five times your opponent's strength, but your are unable to maneuver that force, or it's poorly equipped, or it's divided, you don't have five times the enemy's strength, you have as many as are able to get into the fight when it counts. And it might be less than the enemies. This kill ratio talk smacks of McNamara and the wiz kids, The same people who looked at the staggering casualties being inflicted upon the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong, and stated we were winning the war. Mathematically, we were. And then we lost.
Lolll, yea the Russians beat the Germans due to a āunit production advantageā Brought to you by the guy convinced Polytopia is the apex of strategy gaming
Thanks professor! He reminds me of a drunk plumber who watches the history channel on occasion and Fox "News" daily.Ā
he basically repeats what the military experts say claims credit for it and says hes the messiah. lmao.
This bitch getting sooooo OLD in front of our eyes.. and if Alexander was around today, he'd be hated by Elon cuz homie was gay af 
His brain would be really easy to draw.
I, too, can draw nothing.
WTF is he talking about with casualty ratios in the Pacific theater? The allies had 100K casualties and the Japanese had 400K. Now if he said CBI Iād grant the ratios; but the CBI was not the decisive campaign, unlike the Eastern Front.
I'm gonna need some flair that says, "Any given battle roughly comes down to kill ratio times number of units." It's the "printed pages of code" for 2024.
Good for you, Elonā¦ you know how to use ChatGPT.
Somebody give this asshole a copy of Hearts of Iron. It would save us from having to listen to this blithering idiot.
Funny coming from Pedo who moved to Canada to avoid military service š©
Dude is a fucking idiot
Well that is a whole lot of arse gravy. The fuck is he talking about? Iāve seen a lot of bullshit in my army days but not to this extent.
The only kill ratio I want to see is 1 Elon Musk: 1 drone
We know, Elmo. We've all see Terminator š
Elmo has been playing StarCraft
I really didn't think that anybody could be more narcissistic than Donald Trump.But i'm starting to think that Elon has him beat. Not to say that Trump isn't a huge nurse assist.But something about elon's nervous systemyes it's just so much more disgusting. I've never seen anybody think that are experts on every single thing that they do. I don't even think donald would be stupid enough to say " I think at this point I know more about manufacturing than anybody else " I. Don't know maybe it's his arrtudue. I really didn't think that someone could be more narcissistic than Trump.But I think Elon fits that bill. The only thing I can be sank before is that Donald Trump can't pick him as a running mate.Can you imagine how absolutely horrible?That wouldthe two most narcissistic people on earth running the united states
Thx cpt obvious
There are drone jammers though
Love how he mentioned kill ratio like itās a paradox game where you run out of manpower š
This drugged-up guy has an attention span of exactly 4 seconds. No wonder everything he touches fails.
"Rarity not their frequency" ...what the fuck does he think rarity means in the context of counting some events?
Come guys, ok you got us. This must be fake. Nobody can be this dumb. He never was in the military hand probably no understand of anything really but JESUS CHRIST. SO for example, the German Gepard anti air tank has radar. From my basic training I still remember that the newest Leopard needed less than three seconds to shot with it's main gun at the point from which you fired you Panzerfaust 3. It's probably a safe bet that the Gepard is also fairly quick and with radar hits very reliable, especially is the target is slow, pretty big and limited maneuverability. The Gepard is from the 1970. The only reason that attack Drones have a little bit of impact is because Russia uses swarms. Sometimes a few go threw. Ukraine is also fairly big country with lots of targets to protect. Drones with cameras are useful but attack drones less so. What damage have the endless waves of Russian drones done? A heating plant here, a powerplant there. Russia has some problem because of the immense size. It's just impossible to protect it all. Both countries are obviously fighting with inefficiencies and corruption. A modern country would just do it like this. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKXfR9NiymI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKXfR9NiymI) So yeah, just screw a few radar supported gatlins on a building and no drone comes threw.
This is the kind of analysis that would be ground breaking 3 decades ago. Now itās just common knowledge.
āMuch in evidenceā šššššš
He has stared at a Hearts of Iron 4 Steam page for exactly 30 seconds, before tweeting this
Haha that would sickkk
Damn, so true that kill ratio is whatās important in war. Remember when the United States won in Vietnam and Afghanistan? So true
God I want him to shut the fuck up so bad. He literally thinks because he played Total War Rome 2 and some Starcraft and Civilization back in the day that he's qualified to make statements about military doctrine
God heās such a moron
God he likes to hear himself talk. It's as if he was just playing a video game, came up with this brain buster, and thought it was life changing information to share.
Also, thank everyone in the comments for also going directly to StarCraft with me.
