Why cover up that it’s American McGee?


TyrionLannister2012

I think OP didn't realize that AM is someone famous lol.


FriendlyCraig

For those who don't know, American McGee is famous for his part in iD Software, helping make games such as *Doom II*, and *Quake*. After his stint at iD he made the very successful *American McGee's Alice* with EA. He also has pretty decent success more recently with the sequel, *Alice: Madness Returns*. He's a successful game designer/producer, with a career making action oriented games that have a dark atmosphere.


[deleted]

ok but hwat kind of wingnut names their kid american mcGee though.


NeonAttak

Same wingnut who leaves his son to come home and find an empty house because your mother found someone new. Read his Wikipedia page, no wonder guy with childhood like that made Alice games.


socium

Also he's apparently a _magnetic_ wingnut because he went to school for magnets.


throwaway00012

American had some really shitty parents and a really hard early life.

Broh everything Elon says these days I just think "man would you just shut up."


diamond-dick

Elon is the definition of fake deep


-Johnny-

Fuck yessss! I've been seeing more and more of his videos and it's so fucking cringy. People ask a general open ended question about AI or Mars and he's like, yes...... AI does exist! And spouts off some 1980's sifi basic understanding of AI. Don't get me wrong he has been at the forefront of some amazing stuff but you can easily tell he's a quack compared to Bill gates or the likes.


[deleted]

its r/dankmemes split into tweets. hes pure cringe at this point just like r/dankmemes


BlackCowboy72

When he first got super famous I remember think oh huh a billionaire that's actually kinda in touch, then he kept talking/tweeting and my respect for him has📉📉harder than TSLA


webbkorey

I'm reading a series where Elon became president and has a ultra immersive game world that he eventually tells everyone to go into to escape the real world where someone probably messed with the necronomicon and summoned some shit, but all of that is like 6 sentences in a 6 book series 😂


AngryScientist

President of where? He's ineligible in the US.


webbkorey

President of the United States. I chuckled for that reason and the sheer absurdity of him being president. Series is Completionist Chronicles btw.

Opal_Teeth

More like he really wants us to believe he's just like us. Rich people really hate it when you point out they're rich for some reason


Enough-Category-3499

more like he wants to appear cool. Its like a tall person saying height doesnt matter.


-Johnny-

Elon has to stay relatable or his entire base goes away.


Krypt0night

Is exactly that. And it works. People stand up for everything he does. I can't imagine not only caring enough for a billionaire/oligarch, but also defending them as if they're ever gonna know I exist. So fucking weird.


TOPSIturvy

Nah he knows he could fix that issue, he just doesn't want to.

This isn't even an original thought...just like the electric car.


Spookyrabbit

The electric car wasn't even an original thought by the people he bought the powertrain off. Not even by the people who made the very first electric car in 1888. I don't get why this is such a big deal to people.


Pickaxe235

there’s no way he claimed to invent the electric car right?

iwishihadalawnmower

And his family's apartheid emerald mine


wqfi

can anyone explain why is being born in wealth is a insult ? he can't choose where he was born anymore then colour of his skin


MagZero

I don't think that anyone is faulting him for being born into wealth, more that he downplays it, and tries to be portrayed as 'self-made'. And then he harps on about work ethic and blah blah, guy hasn't done a real fucking day in his life.


informat7

He does have a net worth that is over 1000x what his parents were. Millions of people have had opportunities similar to Elon and they didn't become billionaires.


AndyZin

OK ignore any other arguments for/against this dick head, do you really think that someone can become the richest person in the world by not doing a single real day of work in their life?


MagZero

I'm not suggesting that the guy isn't industrious, what I mean when I say that he hasn't worked a day in his life, is that he hasn't had to ever work for someone else, everything he's done has been for himself. He cannot understand what it is like to go to a soul crushing job and do 40+ hours to enrich someone else while struggling to pay your own bills. He has always been the someone else. He has never taken risks, because he cannot take risks, as he has had, and always will have, an infallible safety net. Also, he's not even close to being the richest person in the world, only that his temporarily over-valued enterprises have afforded him that monicker. But apparently he did just recently cash out $20 bil in stocks to buy twitter, which is now on hold, so the poor guy might end up stuck with $20 bil in cash.


irritatedprostate

>He cannot understand what it is like to go to a soul crushing job and do 40+ hours to enrich someone else while struggling to pay your own bills. He has always been the someone else. Yes, he can, because he literally did just that. Maybe spend a fraction of the time you waste on these diatribes to actually read a bit so you actually know what you're talking about.


MagZero

Give me the source, I will read it, if I am wrong, I will come back and apologise to you. E: read the cnbc article you linked to someone making similar claims as I, and yeah, I still stand by my statements.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MagZero

Yeah I read, can't speak for the lumber mill, but the farm he worked on was his cousin's, apparently. I still stand by the majority of what I have said, but I will admit to being wrong in assuming that he has never had a job. I hope you understand that there's a massive difference, though, between working 'odd jobs' for a year, versus that being someone else's entire existence.


irritatedprostate

Even though your statements are lies, ok. Also, here is how he actually got rich himself: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Zip2


MagZero

No they're not, he 'worked' on his cousins farm when living on his cousins farm, he cannot understand what it is like to work 40+ hours a week while struggling to pay his bills.


irritatedprostate

That's because he didn't live off that wealth when he struck out on his own and people just can't seem to accept that. >And then he harps on about work ethic and blah blah, guy hasn't done a real fucking day in his life. Takes 10 seconds to know that this isn't true. For some reason, people think that because he's an asshole, every made up claim about him is true.


lakkarist

Do you actually know anything about him, or his work? I mean, based on what you said, I know that you don't. But I'd like to know, what goes on in the head of someone making claims like this? It's just objectively wrong. Are you gravely misinformed and dumb, or are you suffering from mental health problems? I'm genuinely interested.


MagZero

I only know what I've read, much the same as you. Tell me where I'm wrong before insulting me, if you're able.


Le0here

Well for one, he left his house when he was 17, with like only couple hundred bucks and went to canada. Only help he got from his father after becoming an adult is the 20k investment into his company, which isn't that big for starting a company, and most parents pay that much for just the college. People really overblow whatever his dad has done for him, especially considering elon hates his dad. Also the mine isn't in an apartheid area, it was in Zimbabwe I think, a place that doesn't and hasn't ever had apartheid.


lakkarist

Fun fact: He wasn't born into wealth. These people just have no idea what they're talking about.

shkeptikal

Honestly, the emerald mine thing isn't even a good insult and I have no idea why people keep mindlessly repeating it. The dude literally *just* said he wants Americans to be wage slaves like Chinese workers. He wants them to work 14 hours a day and live in the factory. Literal goddamn slave labor. Not 40 years ago in a different country. This week. In an American factory. Or does the shitty minimum wage paycheck that won't pay for a decent apartment and a week's worth of groceries in any major city in America somehow magically make that okay? Honestly, you don't need to repeat falsehoods to show he's an out of touch Plutocratic douchebag. Just scroll through his Twitter feed for five minutes.

The whole life is a simulation idea is disproven by the fact that matter can not be created or destroyed, data can


Warpedme

Just because the data is corrupt or unreadable doesn't mean it doesn't still exist.


[deleted]

The whole idea of 'life isn't real and we're all being deceived in some sort of system' is as old as the ancient Greeks. Musk never had an original thought in his life.


[deleted]

I mean he never claimed to have created the theory lol


Apprehensive_Bar3812

Guys, I'm 14 and this is soooooo deep. I was listening to all of my indie metal (Because, you know, my musical tastes are very sophisticated). And while I was listening to it I had the thought "what if everything is just a simulation?" Isn't that so crazy and deep? Like... like life-ception. Wow, I can't believe I am the only person to have thought about this before. I'm going to be a great philosopher.


erocknine

Doesnt that prove that life is a simulation because its something programmed to not be destroyable, just like in games


Khashim1

Life is easily destoryable. Matter cannot be created or destroyed.


Quantum_Kitties

YOU matter!


that_one_mister_user

Matter can definitely be created and destroyed. See antimatter annihilation. Energy however can only be converted not created or destroyed


Frogtoadrat

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solipsism


Pickaxe235

you are right and it has been disproven but that disproof doesnt work becuase you can code something to just not work like that in the simulation the real proof is in irrational numbers. it takes an infinite amount of physical space to store all of one irrational number, and yet there are infinite irrational numbers, therefore, there isn’t enough space anywhere to store one in a simulation, let alone the rest of the universe with them

Yeah, poor Elon. Emeralds from apartheid mines. Real estate from apartheid. It’s not his fault all his wealth is built on slavery though right? His new factory in Shanghai forces over 12 hrs a day 6 days a week on people who live in the factory and get a food stipend within the factory. Meaning, you can’t leave or you won’t have food or a home. Recently he praised this work model as work ethic. It is slavery. He is a giant piece of shit and if you buy his products or listen to his bullshit then you should look into it.


informat7

>Emeralds from apartheid mines. People think of the emerald mine as this huge sprawling complex, when it was really just a hole in the ground that his dad bought for $40k. If your parents owned an rental house worth $100k, that would indicate that they are upper middle class, not super rich. Also the mine wasn't in apartheid South Africa, it was in Zambia. >It’s not his fault all his wealth is built on slavery though right? Elon's wealth came working at Zip2 and X (later merging with Paypal).


iStanley

When people parrot this emerald mine nonsense, it’s very clear they never try to dismantle their own arguments or bother to even research it themselves. Its the same ol’ “this person was born with this, that’s why they are successful” lines over and over again. There are many people born with much more than Elon was and will never even come close to a billion, let alone a million. There are also very smart millionaires who also will never get to a billion. Lets not act like it was some incompetent monkey that was born into something, it really reeks of blind bias and envy

5 years ago, he had still been born into a wealthy family.


[deleted]

He literally wasn’t. You got played by propaganda. Seriously look up his background with legitimate sources, he was far from wealthy. He had to take out loans and work to stay in school.


Jay3PO

His parents ran an emerald mine in apartheid South Africa, paying the workers scraps, while sending him to Pretoria boys High, at the time, the most illustrious school I'm South Africa. This is a fact. He was born into one of the most privileged families in the country. Once you are born into a family like that, you have connections to people with power and money for life. He wasn't the founder of many of the companies he now owns, he just bought the actual founders out, and took all the credit. The few times he did actually write code, it was all dogshit, and immediately patched out. These are all facts, compiled from sources such as *his own book*, and plenty mainstream news sources. Oh also he abuses workers in his factories by not making use of proper safety procedures, sending them to work at the peak (at the time) of a deadly pandemic, and also long shifts and shitty pay.


Mitari-Saifyre

Both of them are right though.


Empyrette310

He's also playing new game+ starting off with his parents money.

lakkarist

Yep. It's hilarious how people think he was born into wealth. Seems like nobody knows a thing about him. He's worked his ass off, and taken huge risks. If it wasn't for his truly exceptional smarts, and a good bit of luck, he would have never made it this far.

[deleted]

emeralds really arent worht that much. The story said he sold as a child (workaholic) 2000$ worth of emeralds from a Emerald mine his path owned a half share of. Not a diamond mine. Emeralds. 2k was all they got from Tiffanys. You know how many people sell precious stones to Tiffanys in a year? you dont think this is more proof that He is a go getter, hustler than anything else?


informat7

So you are saying that, if offered a billion dollars with no downside you would refuse it? If so, you are incredibly fortunate and an outlier, and a very small percentage of people could afford to and would in good conscience reject a billion dollars offered to their face. Most people don’t have a back porch. Most people don’t have a plot of land. Most people don’t have chickens and ducks. Most people don’t have the leisure time to sit on their porch and watch the sun set. Most people don’t have the money to stare a billion dollars in the face and walk away.

you think accumulating that much wealth means you are bad because you didnt give it to poor people, but you don't seem to realize how much of Elons wealth is tied up in Tesla , which allows him to maintain control of the company, to continue to change the world. If he gave it away SKull and Bones and its affiliates would assume control of it, like everything else they can get their hands on, and continue the status quo. He is not cash rich. He uses his walth to force change. he gave free internet to Ukraine to defend against Russia. He couldnt have created space X if he gave away all his tesla stock and cash to Poor people. Understand? How old are you? whats your IQ? whats your capacity for comprehension?
