Fucking NOTHINGGG I've ever heard him say is groundbreaking. It's all shit I've heard a ton of other people say... shit that a ton of other people have been saying for like, SOOO much longer than he has.

In fact, every time I've ever heard Elon talk, I've thought "Holy shit, how is THIS GUY running Tesla? LOL!"

I dunno...

Maybe it's just impressive to sheeple.

I am NOT trying to shit talk Elon here...

Really this is more of a critique on people who, as I said, essentially seem to worship the fricken guy.

Darling you have lusted shamelessly over this fraud for many years while i stood by you all loyal and forgiving. So i am hurting a little bit

Oh I would totally let Elon fuck my body in any way he wanted.

Because he LOOKS good. In my personal opinion.

And he seems like he'd be fun to get stoned with.

It's impressive to sheeple because he's produced tangible high tech gadgets like electric cars and rocketships. People are overly obsessed with technology. It's not as impressive when some random guy on YouTube says it because it's just some random guy sitting in his basement surrounded by broken space heaters and microwave ovens.

It may not have mass appeal...

But I will tell you this...

There are people in Elon's position who are watching that guy in his basement and listening to what he has to say.

The real illusion here is the illusory position of "power" or "renown".

Those people are also in a position to exploit that guy's ideas and take credit for them. And there's practically nothing he can do about it.

That's part of it. But there's also the real power of wealth and influence.

An unfortunate truth.

Here's an example I found particularly disgusting. You know how record companies like to sue people for copyright infringement, right? Well, one time a major label artist stole a song verbatim from an independent artist. The record company lawyers were like, "It's okay because he can't afford to sue us."

That's the problem with society today. People's moral code is based on whatever the law will let them get away with, rather than an innate sense of right and wrong.

Too many of us little monkeys love our shiny things. Fashion over function. Senses dulled by the hoopla.
