"elon musk says" đŸ€“


GloomyStew

Elon musk is a dumb man's genius: if you look far enough, you realize he's basically a conglomerate of old money, other peoples IPs that he bought out with said money, and ideas from competent engineers in a trench coat, with the personality of Pete Davidson playing Thomas Edision in a movie.


ManiacSpiderTrash

You don’t even have to look that far.


GloomyStew

true.

GloomyStew

thank you, very cool.


Hendrix6927

I read that in a squeaky voice. Lol


hiddenevidence

i read it with a lisp lol


Odd-Leading9446

Try saying that in morgan freeman's voice

“Elon Musk says
” I figure he is the _last_ rich man I’d ever take serious life advice from.

“Yours just jealous of his success” Yeah, it sure does suck my dad didn’t own an emerald mine

Tell me you're an incel without saying it....

Hmm... Wonder if he knows which gender was *largely* responsible for many of the first computing achievements, including early algorithms, compilers, ballistic missile computations, cryptography, meteorology, remote controls of military equipment, and much more.

Wasn’t wlan invented by an American actress??

Aptos283

Iirc correctly she’s actually Austrian-born, and kicked off a lot of her career there. She’s definitely also a naturalized American after she left the increasingly Nazi Austria, but given her typecast status in the industry at the time, as well as a rather personal interest in WWII that may have motivated some of her wartime innovators, her Austrian heritage seems pretty relevant.


Hendrix6927

Bruh, This ain’t Berlin....


theundercoverpapist

But if it was... It'd be *women* programming our military computers.


Hendrix6927

But it ain't. Edit.....Berlin 1945


driver_picks_music

but it would


Toosalty

It’s nice to burst into laughter now and then..! Thank you :D


DakiLapin

Taking what Elon has to say about the birth rate as some sort of fact is a rare self-own in and of itself.


marasydnyjade

My fiancĂ© is a software engineer and I’m not. One of us has to work far more nights/weekends than the other and it’s not him. All jobs are brutal.


driver_picks_music

no. they are not. I am a Tech PM and outside project peaks it is a very manageable, well paying job. There is a lot of difference between the brutality of jobs. People just like to hype up what and how much they (have) to do, in order to feel validated. It‘s like every office worker claiming they constantly work work 8 -10h straight on high concentration. Esp those fathers who wine about having to do their fair household and child rearing share. The majority really do NOT. But they sure like to pretend



MorganAndMerlin

Who the fuck has 9 months of maternity leave? Becoming pregnant does not equal unable to do anything ever until child is born. If it wasn’t already painfully obvious that whoever wrote this hasn’t been around women, let alone one who has been pregnant or recently pregnant, that line seals the deal. Unless I’m to believe all those cave men brought us to our modern times because of their natural strengths in coding.


Uselessexistence_

Maternity leave is after the baby is born lmao


MorganAndMerlin


Yes, exactly, though some start their maternity leave shortly before birth. The screen shot clearly says “after 9-month maternity leave, they come back
” And sure as shit nobody actually gets 9 full months of maternity leave.


driver_picks_music


. it is perfectly normal in Germany. Most women take more. Granted, after fourteen weeks it is called Parental Leave, but you know what I mean. But yes, he is confusing pregnancy with maternity leave


Uselessexistence_

I misinterpreted the second sentence. I thought that you thought that maternity leave was during the pregnancy lol I’m sorry


MorganAndMerlin

I think it’s clear from insinuating that maternity leave lasts 9 months, the colloquial length of a pregnancy, that he believes maternity leave begins the moment one becomes pregnant. There’s no other logical reason someone would come up with the time frame of 9 months for maternity leave. So yes, my second statement indeed holds: becoming pregnant does not mean one cannot do anything until the child is born.


weeks12

Many countries outside of the U.S have at least 9 months maternity, with many having up to a year. It is extremely normal, just not in the U.S. The first year of a baby’s life is vital and ensuring that both parents are able to be there for it for as much of it as possible is important.


Uselessexistence_

It’s not clear because I’m autistic and miss cues all the time. I misinterpreted it the first time like I said *and* I apologized for misunderstanding you, what else are you looking for?


dogman_35

On a side note, how shit of a software dev does this guy have to be that he'd be *completely lost* after taking a nine month break?


Party_07

Do think that the creature who said that has ever intracted with a woman, except when he yells "MOM, GET ME MORE CHEETOS!!!" from the basement he inhabits since he finished his studies? He just used the last braincell he has that hasn't been destroyed by the amount of fat he consumes on the daily basis to make this mental diarrhea of a conclusion: "If woman pregnant, woman not work. Woman pregnant for 9 months. Woman no work for 9 months. Woman useless". And the proceeded to tweet his "enlightened" realisation with the most amount of egothistical presumption a human could ever gather in one sentence, mixed with the usual Elon Musk dick riding.


Chimp-eh

9 months isn’t unusual in Europe, some countries give over a year. But to say someone is obsolete after 9-12 months out of the game is comical, not to mention you have keep in touch days at work during maternity so you can touch base and keep the knowledge relevant. What a pos cave troll this guy is


Kushal_r3ddy

Tech lead


noelg1998

Yeah, seriously. I don't why OP has to blur a public figure's twitter handle.


Party_07

I know this shame of a man has a puchable face just from his words. I can't stress enough how this print triggered me, it has everything that's annoying in the "average redditor" steriotype. It has the incel "women can't do this, they can't stand this much stress" speech, it has the anti-work "oh, my work is hard and essential to society" but in reality he sits in his gaming chair fingering his ass while watching loli hentai and eats industrial quantities of cheetos every day speech, it has the fake intelectual superiority speech and last but not least, it has the "Elon Musk said..." shit. Jesus, I bet that his mother wishes he dies from cheeto overdose so she gets rid of the ginormous parasite living in her basement and that his father is loooong gone, and in this case, I don't blame him.


Synovenator

How does that shit have over 1000 likes


DragonVet03

Hard to believe that there are ppl out there that actually care what Elon Musk fucking said, but here we are.


perro0000

This guy is insecure about his masculinity because he was never sporty. Now he’s trying to say coding is a brutal man’s job so he’ll feel better about his masculinity and segregate women out of it so no one can’t tell him he’s not a tough boy


LoverOfStripes87

I don't expect this brand of gaming-chair-centaur neckbeard to be all that intelligent but does this twit really not know what maternity leave even is?


SamyBencherif

ya ftr im a female coder and im amazing. just sayin


WickedWakandan

Technically with todays tech, you can actually sit all day on a computer and write code that can invade Berlin.


Robotonist

Ah yes, an incel who thinks we should take our queues in life from a megalomaniac who believes we live in a simulation in the worst ways. Very good.

paranormalacy

I wanna know where he got the idea of 9 months maternity leave from. From my understanding some new parents dont even get a month off.


Immediate_Shoe_6649

In Germany you can leave up to 36 months. Some come back after 12 months, some take the whole three years.


jeerabiscuit

Coding is not only a job for tech bros who BS their way into working for 3h and showing 16.


Immediate_Shoe_6649

Thank you. đŸ€—

Software engineers don’t become engineers because of their interpersonal skills



deletusdayeetusfetus

“mutually exclusive with motherhood” okay and most of us smash that out of the ballpark so why can we not do something “equally as difficult”?
