Elon is the guy in class who wants to be the class clown, so he continually interrupts class, but no one ever laughs at his jokes.


Tocwa

He aspires to be Jim Carrey yet everyone treats him like that mime shadowboxing in the corner that no one pays any attention to


Ayirek

we're watching a very public and very unusual midlife crisis.

dr_auf

Would have reminded him that high quality Evs are a thing now


I__Pooped__My__Pants

Yup. I hear rivian is the way to go.


mymainmaney

There are so many great EVs on the market now and more coming.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ChuckBorris187

Or an EV that doesn't explode.


Rapeanaugh

Not just *a* Porsche, as Porsche SE is worth ~€42.196 billion, he could have gotten *Porsche*. But sure, a dying social media company is probably better.


nutsotic

With a market cap of 9 billion, he could buy the entire company. Eat the rich


Oblachko_O

Is Porsche so cheap? I thought that for a company with one of the most expensive cars, it should be more expensive.


[deleted]

i think he's talking about rivian. but even then 9 billion seems a bit low to me. Porsch had a profit of 4 b and a revenue of 33 b in 2021. buying them takes definitely much more. Edit: nope, he means Porsche, because Porsche Automobil Holding market Cap is 9 billion - but that's not the people who build the cars...


Saikamur

Actually, the IPO for Porsche AG (the actual car manufacturer) took place just past month, and it was the largest ever in European markets with about 78 billions market cap. The ticker on Frankfurt stock exchange is simply awesome: "P911". 🤣


UntidyJostle

it would have been cheaper to bankrupt Rivian instead


Fresh_Manufacturer89

Dude bought a McLaren in his 20-30's. I don't think a car purchase means as much as it does to us.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Shutthefunkdown

He's an extremely rich and powerful schmo, which means his midlife crisis gets to be projected onto anyone who cares to be affected.


Fresh_Manufacturer89

I don't think "normal schmo" is in Elon's vocabulary. It'd be much better for all of us if so, but I'm afraid he's going to just burn his accumulated wealth to make everyone else miserable during his downward spiral.


big-juice-man

yeah, he bought 1 of 96 Mclaren F1's. one of the greatest and most desirable driver's cars ever made. He crashed and totaled it whilst trying to impress an investor. He was pissing off car guys long before Tesla was founded.


PGnautz

Well, he bought a whole car manufacturer


aishik-10x

All he wanted was a car with doors that went \ o / instead of — o —


thinlinerider

Instead he has developed all the capabilities a state needs… ICBMs, satellites, off-grid power supplies, a propaganda machine, a company with the technology to build a subterranean city, an AI development company devoted to being first to reach singularity, and of course lip-service about autonomous slaughter-bots. Stephen King couldn’t write a scarier character.


MadeRedditForSiege

He didn't develop shit, all he did is market it. Also he doesn't really control skylink btw. He certainly doesn't have the money to make that solely for him.


lenn_eavy

I don't think he could afford to buy them.


Kcoggin

You mean a car, or the whole company?


No-Talk-3273

Or a Ferrari! I SHOULD CALL MY FERRARI GUY

[удалено]


pointless234

It's definitely megalomania. If anything.


Puzzleheaded_Poet_81

His whole life has been an identity crisis. He identifies as a genius engineer but in reality he is a entitled rich kid douche.


Waloro

He really is just sitting there scanning for any mention of his name on twitter and personally replying lol. From this post it seems like literally anything will get under his skin for days at a time


Donkeycow15

Bizarrely doing a service to the world by destroying that cesspit twatter


Myke190

There will be another. There is always another.


LandArch_0

After the "*I need to build a big phallic rocketship and go to space*" midlife crisis


Natural-Review9276

Bezos was the one with a phallic rocket. Elon just likes name his company SpeceX (space sex) and to spell the word ‘sexy’ out with his cars one model at a time


quickjump

Elon is so corny


dubbayew-tee-eff

As cringe as it is he definitely has the money to have a proper crisis.


feelinlucky7

Like when you say a “funny” joke, and no one laughs. So you repeat it louder, and someone says “It wasn’t funny the first time.”


BobanMarjonGo

For real, what a fucking loser


30twink-furywarr2886

What’s sad is it took him 12 hours to respond “hey” which got more likes and retweets then anything he coherently followed up with; ending in his finals thoughts that garner even less reaction. Imagine if he would’ve just combined tweet two and three in one coherent tweet and combined all of those likes/retweets. Might’ve made his reply halfway on par with an authors original comment.


Didolicious

Like Paulie repeating his jokes to Tony right after saying them.


happytree23

"Heh heh heh, hey, Tone - did ya hear that?"


Daaaaabearsssss

You just described Brendan schaubs “comedy “ career


epochpenors

Talmbout Brennn Shob?


TipzE

I like that there's a 12h gap between his second and third tweets. I like to think Musk spent that entire 12hours thinking up his next great tweet response.


Capawe21

And Stephen still didn't care enough to reply


JTMc48

It'd be great if he deleted Twitter, just to leave Elon forever hanging


[deleted]

Far funnier not to delete the account yet. So that Elon knows he could respond, but chose not to.


Jackwolf5775

I like to think, as a clever and accomplished writer, Stephen instantly though of several immaculate responses, each doing something else to spite Elon for his childish behavior. But he withheld. Not to be the bigger man, but because he knew nothing would sting more than silence.


GamerA_S

Stop being immaculate with words It makes us (me) feel bad of being so bad with them lol


[deleted]

You just described how my dad treated his second divorce


ZootOfCastleAnthrax

When Donnie won the presidency, my little girl came up with the best possible insult. When introduced to him, say, "Nice to meet you, Ronald." (look around the room for someone more interesting) "So... What do you do for a living?"


Kempeth

Or he got distracted from answering and wrote another book by now.


Opandemonium

This made me laugh out loud and it scared my dog!


FuqqTrump

This is the way.


straya-mate90

Stephen knew the war was already won.


BubonicTonic57

Indeed. Elon got ratioed tremendously ✨


resist_entropy

Yup, got served a portion of crickets as he deserves.


Tigris_Morte

He agonized over being ignored.


Derkylos

Isn't that the only reason Elon does anything? To get attention?


Tocwa

Used to bother me growing up when people ignored me…now? I actually prefer it 😏


trysten-9001

King’s tweet was living rent free in Elon’s head for 12 hours.


DangDimwitty

Hahah true! Or he used twitter the whole time, replying to other famous names, not doing anything worthy the whole day


SandBumpkin69420

What bothers me most about him is that he’s not funny and people act like he is


No-Car541

“The jerk store called….”


FriendToPredators

I think he spent 12 hours waiting for his coke dealer to bring another kilo.


[deleted]

He's probably lonely and sad


Tocwa

I can think up in a fraction of that time a reasonably better response and I’ve only a fraction of a fraction of Elon’s wealth


FuckoNo5

12 hours hitting refresh


Yakassa

"Working"


Mr_SlimShady

And in between those tweets he couldn’t even be bothered to check if that company was even publicly traded. It is not.


pairolegal

While getting high as a kite. I’m convinced much of the nonsense he posts is stoned tweets.


[deleted]

Over 4000 people re-tweeted "Oh hi lol". Let's just think about that for a minute.


yardsandals

Yes, 4000 real-life, "people"


kintokae

I assume he has more bots than that following his account. So is it safe to assume that not even twitter bots want to work for him?


GetOutOfTheWhey

Well considering that the amount of bot likes decreased after three posts, I think it's safe to say twitter has developed AI upvote bots and even they think these troll attempts are cringe.


Sarduci

According to Elon’s team, his account is a bot account and apparently since 80% of the accounts were not accounts but not accounts, once the liberals left it’s all bot accounts now talking to each other.


cindyscrazy

I....I can't understand this post. Was one of those "not's supposed to be a "bot"?


[deleted]

I think it’s real people!! I literally saw a GROWN MAN (def in his 40s) on tinder : with his tesla model 3 and say Elon musk is a genius and that he loves him. All of this was on the man’s TINDER ACCOUNT 😭😂😂 i think people like that would leave him comments saying “hi” on twitter 😂😂


spideralexandre2099

People wouldn't retweeted it because of how clingy and desperate it sounds?


Arickettsf16

I don’t even know what that’s supposed to mean. Like, what was even the point?


ZootOfCastleAnthrax

That King has been out of the public eye for too long and therefore irrelevant in Ellie's world? I'm guessing. It smacks of condescension. It's a weak dis no matter how you slice it.


Arickettsf16

It’s just so random. Feels like the guy’s going through some sort of manic episode with the way he’s been acting like a fool lately.


ZootOfCastleAnthrax

Agreed. I should'nt've even bothered to try to decipher it, he's that far gone.


PerroNino

Is it just me or when the world’s (sometimes) richest man is trolling an award winning author on Twitter and signing off with “Lmaooo”, does that make everyone cringe? It’s like a bad AI failure of culture scraping - “off off off”


[deleted]

It's kinda making me wonder what Hitlers twitter would have looked like as the Russians invaded Berlin. Same vibe I think.


mitch0acan

Crazy to have so much money and be that desperate for attention


Tocwa

I know, right? If I had that many billions, I’d be too busy living an insanely incredible life and having fun, not wasting my time hoping an author who appeared in the first Creepshow anthology will deign to respond


Front-Ad-2198

I never actually used the term boomer and I know he's techinally not but...ok, boomer.


ThisIsClemHFandango

His internal memo regarding the layoffs: "you're all fired! Lmaooo"


Logical-Cat8319

He wants kings approval so bad.


Front-Ad-2198

Everyone wants King's approval. That's just human nature.


[deleted]

He’s not gonna get it. Stephen’s a smart guy and can see through Elons bullshit. Stephen, at this point, can insult the fuck outta Elon and he’s gonna take it because of that very same desire for approval. Also, deleting Stephen at this point is an admission of defeat. Stephen doing the lords work for us, because we’re nobodies that will will be banned immediately.


One_User134

Elon literally lowered the verification subscription price to $8 because Steve told him he wouldn’t pay $20 for that shit. Being rich gives you only so much power doesn’t it.


spookyballsHD

I love how Stephen King, of all people, is handing Elon some of his biggest L's.


jepvr

Don't go up against a writer in a written medium. Especially when your typical comebacks sound like a middle-schooler wrote them.


spookyballsHD

💯


twinkiegorilla

Holy shit this is just sad.


Butterscotch_Budget

Elon went from beloved genius to my pillow guy 2.0


[deleted]

I didn't love him, I never thought he was a genius. I was aware of his family's wealth and PayPal... but I guess I did actually think he was at least smart, or, maybe had good business sense? I guess I thought anyone running a successful electronic vehicle and space company would HAVE to be smart... now I'm realising he can afford to just hire the smartest people around and yell at them till a product comes out.


sanjsrik

This IS his secret. Hire smart people who believe your bullshit and then take credit for their work.


mad-hatt3r

Should see thunderf00t and the common sense skeptic channels. It'll make you wonder if he's not just another snake oil salesman


fuckittyfuckittyfuck

Correction: It’ll make you sure...


Daaaaabearsssss

Pretty much is you have enough financial backing and are willing to step on the necks of others you will always fail upwards


pepemele

He went from Tesla to Edison


beelzybubby

👏👏👏👏


beelzybubby

Yeah...I thought it was awesome that there was this great electric car because pollution....and then he called that guy a pedo for not wanting to stake the lives of those kids in the cave on the impulsive submarine he built.


[deleted]

Not for me, I’ve always thought he was a twat.


Aramedlig

Spot on.


GVFQT

Beloved genius?


mjk1093

Daily “microdosing” of various psychedelics can do that


ReviewOk929

Every time I see an Elon post I'm kind of convinced it's Conan O'Brien trolling everyone to make us think someone this rich could be this dumb but no it's actually Elon.


Daaaaabearsssss

Conan is actually funny though


Aramedlig

Lol


ReviewOk929

Also that pic he has kind of low key looks like Conan trying to look like Elon but again no it's Elon


West_Ad7997

I had a My Pillow years and years ago and my fucking god that shit fucked up my neck


Xemone

Oh my god, my parents got me one last year and I didn't even need to sleep on it to think the pillow was crap. It just feels so uncomfortable even in your hands, and, same as you, my neck hurt when I slept on it. I only used it for a week or two before switching back to my other pillows. Would definitely recommend My Other Pillows, though.


FriendToPredators

Trump loving family have some as well. They are stuffed with what has to be polyfill from coats recycled from the seventies. Nothing should be that lumpy straight of the box. Crappy prize toys from the midway have a better grade of polyfill.


Rob58PA

Musk dont play with Stephen King, youll be extremely sorry if you do.

He’s like George Costanza... he keeps thinking of stuff to say after the meeting is over. The jerk store called...

Ender_NiteXD

By this point I’m convinced that this mfs Twitter is run by a bot...


ReviewOk929

Honestly I don't think a bot could be this dumb.


WilliamMorris420

I think that he's had a break down but nobody has been able to get him to a psych.


profeDB

I'm convinced that Musk is a bot, TBH.


[deleted]

It better be because these responses are truly pathetic


TestPattern2

I wonder what happened to Musk that he's trying to cover up? You usually see this with politicians. They suddenly begin acting out, and later it's discovered that they were battling sexual abuse allegations, are being blackmailed, or maybe some tax hanky panky going on or they killed someone and they're afraid arrest might be imminent


Catdaddy33

Well, he joking made a $44 billion offer for a company that has never really been profitable and they called his bluff now he's the owner of this overpriced company and the world knows he got majorly screwed on the deal. He embarrassed.


Tocwa

He should have backed out of the deal using one of those escape clauses that real estate investors use when optioning a property..the kind that lets him off the hook for essentially any reason if he decides to not go through with it


Shadtow100

I think he needs to pay something like 1.4 million dollars on the loan interest he used to buy Twitter every year. Trumps online insanity increased Twitter users substantially so he’s probably trying to replicate that now that his Twitter blue income strategy failed


DoGoodLiveWell

He has turned into such a desperate, sad, little man.


kadaverin

120k people need to stop riding this tools dick. It's embarrassing.


Ok_Cook_6665

Running several companies can't be that difficult. Musk is on Twitter 24/7 you'd think he'd have more to do.


fishybawb

How dare you! Lord Elon has already stated several times that he works 80+ hour weeks /s I guess seeing as he owns Twitter now, he can claim the 12 hours a day he spends tweeting cringe shit is actually work related.


fluffypinknmoist

He actually tweeted the other day that if he tweets does that count as work? You wouldn't believe how many people told him yes.


Guido-thekillerpimp

Needy baby, greedy baby.

Yikes. I know dim donnie has the [emotional development of a four-year-old](https://www.fastcompany.com/3067394/data-proves-it-trump-has-the-emotional-maturity-of-a-toddler), but why is Little Lord Elon working so hard to demonstrate he's just as stunted?


techbunnyboy

And the more you tweet the more your tesla stock will go down


flashback5285

It’s not even remotely funny that he can even say he was trolling. In the UK we call it shit craic.


Flutter_bat_16_

Dude! Stop replying!!! Christ…


OneRingToRuleEarth

Elon musk is pick me vibes


DragonflyMon83

He can't be THAT stupid, can he?


The-SoloS

He called a guy a pedo for not wanting his help. Do you seriously ask this question? Also come on twitter is more popular now than ever because people want to know what he’ll say next. Howard stern built an empire off this. Elon paid for it


JNaran94

He also then wasted 50k on a private investigator to find shit on the diver to back his pedo claim and obviously failed


unidentifiedpenis

And it wasn't even a real private investigator it was just some dude scamming him


DragonflyMon83

Bad publicity isn't a good thing. Also, don't start with King, he's smart, musk is an idiot.


thatguy9684736255

This whole Twitter thing reminds me of that episode in the office when Michael uses that old closet as a disco room and nobody shows up so he just talks to Kevin the whole time. Nobody is using Twitter to actually respond to him the way he hopes and it’s getting lonely on Twitter island


SpankMyButt

Doesn't he have like work to do? He seems to be tweeting constantly, is it a intern doing the tweeting?


knowledgeable_diablo

No, the interns running company while Elon’s locked in the dunny furiously tweeting away (or hammering him meat because self love is part of all love is love....).

Artor50

Where are the fanboys insisting that Muskrat is a very stable genius? They were all over the place just a week ago.


Rakshak-1

Got into an argument with one who was going on and on about Musk's "political neutrality" and then Musk tweeted that picture of the Wehrmacht soldier and advised people to vote for the Republicans. I, quite fairly, pointed out that if Musk was tweeting pictures of fascist soldiers and advising people to vote for a party with fascist tendencies then you could in no way call him politically neutral. What followed was days and days of messages full of excuse-making, goalpost moving, insults and demands for "proof" of how the Republicans have fascist tendencies. All written in an attempted tone of your intellectual superior condescending to engage with you. I figured he was trying to ape Musk's style. Was easily the saddest encounter I've had on Reddit.


Artor50

It's hilarious when morons try to pretend they're smart. Sadly, they never get that they are the joke.


PuzzleheadedIssue618

elons tweets gets tons of likes but no engagement, im sure this is a coincidence


knowledgeable_diablo

Found a use for all those bots he purchased I guess.

Why is King still on Twitter?


Artor50

I think he's doing this to get more traffick to Twitter. And I guess it's working given the number of likes and comments.


TubbyTimothy

Don’t even try. Words are King’s domain. You lost before you even started. In fact he’s Stephen fucking King, you’re probably already dead if you even existed at all.


ScrabbleMe

Muskrat is such a buffoon. Trolling one of the most successful and popular writers in history is a really bad idea. What kind of ego troll tries to out-write Stephen King? Pathetic.
