I miss when tech moguls at least pretended to care about anything but their own petty bullshit
even Elon, once upon a time, presented himself as trying to make the world a better place
now we see their actual dreams, and it’s all “I wish to be a medieval baron” which is both evil and boring
They sound clownish, but the more I hear about them, the more more *actually* dangerous they appear. Elon just likes to break shit, the SF Greyshirts have a PLAN
That's what I'm saying!
They could be investing in anti-aging science, or buying up hundreds of acres to save local bee populations.
Create a comic book library.
At least ride a gilded elephant or make your lackys swallow swords.
Something!
No? Just more bs pump and dump schemes?
*sigh*
These guys are quite literally just immature adults playing a simulator game on god mode and get tired ad then start doing things like building rollercoasters with no terminus or building 85 trash cans to barricade in an NPC named Dave. There is no moral or ethical distinction in character.
It's worse than merely wanting to be a medieval baron, it's wanting to be a medieval baron without the trouble of nobless oblige or being weighted down by the fear of having one's own peasants eat them
All we have to do is eat just one. Just one. We don't really have to eat them just make them disappear. It will happen eventually. They believe, like Musk, they can just about get away with it. They will eventually sit down with their bullshit. This is a certainty.
These people are horrifying. Do you think when they were children they were rooting for Darth Vader? They read dystopian novels and thought they were instruction manuals?!
As I said elsewhere about Elon:
Dude decided that saving the Earth from humanity was less fun than mocking people trying to do it, grifting them with shoddy cars, and escaping to Mars with a pack of Rich Incels he thinks are his friends.
