Plus, hell hath no wrath like a nerd who stumbles into power.
My reductive opinion is that nerds come in two main flavors. Ones that are upset that the world is unfair, and are empathically motivated to change it for the better.
And then there’s ones like Benzos or Elon, the nerds who see the world as a totem poll. Totem poles where they have been placed below their true position in life. They don’t want to get rid of the totem pole, they want to make it bigger, and they want to be at the top, so they may punish those who got in their way.
No amount of money can hide the void inside of them where they’ll never be the star athlete. Never get the girl. It’s all a sham. None of their relationships are deep, meaningful or “real”. They may show a vaneer of confidence on the outside but inside they’re rotting as they seethe.
In a way it’s like, despite all the wealth and power, they still have nothing.
I actually don’t put Zuck in this group because
A. He’s a robot
B. I actually think he’content despite being a douche
Tl’dr: don’t be rich pls. Be happy with your small lives like I am.
Stop attributing the name of one of the most beloved, friendly and wonderful muppets to ever exist, and who provided countless people decades of joy to that fucking shit stain Elongated Muskrat.
Elon does not have an NPD diagnosis. You’re accusing him of having NPD because you hate him, and you hate people with NPD, so you think they must be the same. You’re right to hate Elon, but you’re a bigot to hate people with mental disorders.
It also works in favor of other billionaires and corporate entities like BlackRock and The Vanguard Group (among countless others). He gets to publicly be a jabroni, and they get to carry on with fewer eyes on them and their practices
Remember his cameo in Iron Man 2? Back when he was considered the real-life Tony Stark? I recently re-watched that movie and the cringe I felt from that scene physically hurt.
Accusing Elon of mental illness doesn’t do any good. It implicitly absolves him off responsibility for his actions, while encouraging harmful stereotypes about mental illnesses.
Not in the personal sense of guilt, but in the sense of personhood. When you say Elon’s actions are the result of an illness rather than a free unbiased choice, you’re saying that such actions, such evil if you’ll excuse the evocative language, cannot be the result of a person but must be the doing of an illness
Any armchair psychologists care to weigh in on Elmo?
Money rots brains
Honestly, I think it’s that simple.
Radix malorum est cupiditas: the root of evil is greed. Or more colloquially, the love of money is the root of all evil.
One of the few things I’ll hang on to from my religious childhood.

Many issues, will never change.

No. Fuck Elmo. Sesame Street was better when it was about Big Bird.
Also Elmos favorite “food” is wasabi… what kind of masochist is he?
Grover all the way
AMEN!
Brother, you don’t need to be a psychologist to call narcissism
I’d ask for the number but I’m afraid I already have it.
You technically do need to be

What?
Melon Husk got brain rot
World praised him as a savior with Tesla and starlink. His ego ballooned and now he can’t control it

Weird take. Having a mental illness doesn’t absolve you from responsibility. Where do you get this bullshit from?
Not in the personal sense of guilt, but in the sense of personhood. When you say Elon’s actions are the result of an illness rather than a free unbiased choice, you’re saying that such actions, such evil if you’ll excuse the evocative language, cannot be the result of a person but must be the doing of an illness
Illness or not he’s a fucking asshole who deserves to eat shit
Yes, that was the position I started my argument from. Why are you saying it like it’s an argument?
Because you think having a mental disease absolves you from your actions. Wrong.
No I don’t. You don’t really understand what this conversation is about, do you?
Do you have a mental illness too?
