It isn’t a great point.
Sure, what Musk did only further proves what a pathetic loser he is, but it’s the equivalent of “My girlfriend goes to another school, you haven’t met her”. It isn’t illegal or anything, it’s attempted clout chasing that blew up in his face… it’s just sad.
Both of these people could fall off a cliff in a burning Tesla and nothing of value would be lost.
I’d mourn the lithium.
That’s how you get forest fires though.
More than there already are?
In an interesting plot twist, it would actually be a net positive for said Tesla brand in the long run, too.
some random twitch streamer is worse than any person I’ve ever heard of. Wow what’d they do! It’s some video game leaderboard bullshit drama about Musk.
Lol fuckin quality journalism vice. Must be a really eventful news day.
If Musk is ready to lie about his gaming achievements then can we really trust anything that comes out from his mouth.
I mean who cares if Musk is bad at POE2 but the fact that he goes to such lengths to lie about how good he is in a videogame tells a lot about his character and personality.
He made a post using command line lingo too, but anyone with even basic knowledge of those commands can tell you that both the syntax and the way he alludes to them are wrong.
It’s the equivalent of slinging a guitar in a picture to look cool but pressing the side with the strings against your belly.
The guy can’t miss an opportunity to demonstrate his character and personality. This seems both extraneous and consistent - it’s more of the same data. I think we’ve got his number.
Such a /technology/ post.
There is technology in it, like a computer game.
It’s got Elon, so it must be Technology. ;)
FYI, Vice is now a far-right mouthpiece https://theintercept.com/2024/11/19/vice-news-right-wing-trumpism/
The craziest part of that article is
Vice co-founder Shane Smith stepped down as CEO in 2018, but has remained the company’s (…) The Canadian-born journalist’s focus seems to be trained on the southern border, with an editorial line closer to Trump campaign fearmongering than hard news reporting. (Smith is not to be confused with Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes, who left the media company and established the far-right militant group the Proud Boys).
So two of the three Vice media founders are now far right? I tried to find out more about Suroosh Alvi, the third founder, but didn’t see much. Though on his X (🤢) he posts and reports a bunch of pro Gaza stuff.
I shouldn’t be surprised cuz it looks like they all got rich off Vice, but still.
Their new podcast style conspiracy videos are just terrible, he comes across as a complete moron.
I feel like I remember them focusing on the sensation around news and not the actual news. Anything news worthy was included as a matter of context.
I felt like Vice was as if Beavis and Butthead were reporters, they went to the heart of a story that wasn’t getting much coverage and asked about people’s butts.
Shane has intense yuck vibes if you meet him IRL
but the tolerent left told me asmon is far right
The weird thing is like, this whole situation could have been avoided if he just played the game normally rather than pretending to be some god gamer at it.
It’s for the same reason he’s pretended to be a genius his entire career, he’s obsessed with his self image and being number one. He’s lied about being the best quake player in the world at some point. He’s like Billy Mitchell with more money.
Fragile masculinity combined with wanting to appear sufficiently tech savvy to tech bro investors. Tech bros want nerds because pretty much every dollar they’ve ever made was off the back of some innovation of someone they consider a nerd, so Elon wants to be the biggest nerd to tech bros so they will throw even more money at his dumb projects.
Actually it’s a dumb point because everyone and their mom already know he got boosted. Both of them should shut up and stop showing their face in public thank you very much.
I like to think this is the start of something important, Musks gaming account, realising that we can seriously sidetrack Trump by calling him the vice president and weird. The public is learning how to enact our own kind of political manipulation.
He’s already demonstrated first hand he doesn’t know how to navigate the UI for someone who has invested time to be a top player. It’s obvious to anyone that’s spent more than a couple days in any game.
For once Asmongold’s outrage baiting worked in our favour
how does elon even have time to play video games if he’s the most busiest and hardcore guy of all time?
I think that putting in the hours to be very good at PoE2 is more embarrassing than being an amateur who only played a little bit. I say that as someone who looks forward to playing a lot.
I don’t know who that is 👴🦯
Asmongold is one of these ‘anti-woke’ YouTubers. Spends a fair amount of time complaining about women not looking pretty enough for his standards from what I’ve seen, while he himself looks like a fucking rat, with a bedroom that looks like a rat’s nest. I hate downing people’s looks and I too, have been a depressed mess with a terrifying bedroom before. But also, people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
I don’t actually follow any of these YouTubers and to be honest the only time I ever use YouTube is when I’m in the mood for some music videos but I’ve seen this asshat come up over and over in feminist spaces and places where people make fun of the anti-woke grifters and the idiot marks that adore them.
I haven’t personally seen him talk about women but maybe. Some of his other talks about current events seemed very reasonable, though, so I thought he was pretty OK.
Here’s the most recent take of his that I’ve seen:
But he’s definitely a repeat offender in these circles.
When I searched Asmongold “hoeflation” I got a couple results of people talking about it but no results for the post itself.
I guess indexing for Xitter is broken.
It’s literally the first unpinned post on his Twitter profile.
Do I appear as the type who uses Xitter?
Nah lol, not accusing you of anything. I just thought I’d go and take a look and see if I’d been duped by a photoshopped post but there it is, right at the top. Just below his description of “Professional Neckbeard” and pinned address where all the marks that support him can send him free stuff.
why do people hate mongols? i think they are pretty chill people
