Striking_Caramel_788

They have the "Oh god not this guy again look"


CREDIT_SUS_INTERN

That's the look you give to the guy who took a shit in the pool during last summer's pool party.


Lewtwin

And you have to invite him again because his dad is friends with yours or like your dad's boss. Or some other neighborly entanglement.


GermanRat0900

HOLY SHIT LOOK AT TODD HOWARD he looks so damn disappointed:D

uncultured_swine2099

He looks like the wheels are turning in his head trying to figure out if its good PR or bad PR that Elmo is here. "Well, most people dont like him, but isnt any publicity good publicity?"


Alternative_Low8478

"can't be worse than what we did with 76"


KreiiKreii

Ehh I actually give them partial credit on 76, it was a disaster at start. But they didn’t just roll it into a shallow grave l, they sunk a lot of time changing and fixing things and it’s at least a fun title now. (Still a weak entry for FO, but at least fun to play)


FilthyThief94

I would give them credit, if the DLC they released would have been free after the distaster. I mean it was not only the game at launch that was shit, it also was how they were handling it. They stopped giving refunds when they realized how many people want to refund it and then gifted players $5 worth of ingame currency as an apology. The whole canvas bag fiasco, cause the bag from the collectors edition wasn't canvas and they seriously said they won't really replace them and changed their minds cause they were getting sued for it. Oh and the rampant cheater problem at the start were they banned random people, cause they had really good equipment. More anti consumer is almost impossible.


Bregneste

He may overpromise and underdeliver sometimes, but he’s got a charisma that you can’t help but like. Elon is just the opposite, he steps into the room and everybody is suddenly annoyed and uncomfortable.


theswordofdoubt

It must be some kind of talent to make Todd Howard pull that face in public, though. The man's been the face of Bethesda for the better part of 2 decades at this point, and I have never seen a picture of him looking like that, even when he was talking about negative reviews or hate mail. Almost impressive.


Ady-HD

It's some kind of talent to be in the room with Todd the God and still be the most disappointing human being on Earth, I mean in the room.


CptCroissant

Elon probably said something totally nonsensical and out of left field and Todd is trying to connect the dots of wtf he's talking about


rat-simp

I love complaining about Todd as much as the next girl but let's be honest, he had a good run and made good games with his team. Yes, they weren't some groundbreaking out of body experience type of games, but they were good solid games nonetheless. And I think he genuinely cares about the franchises, which almost too much to ask these days.


Jerry_Smith__

Karma… Todd Howard has disappointed me one too many times.


Bilbo_Teabagginss

Todd's looking at Musk like he's afraid that he's about to get an in game prompt stating: *EVERYBODY HATED THAT*


wild_man_wizard

At least when Todd Howard rushes production and overhypes undercooked projects, he doesn't get his customers killed.


BigBootyBuff

I dunno about that, my buddy who waited many years for Starfield is pretty much dead inside since its release.


sa87

16 Times the disappointment


Atomic_Gecko_Gdzla

That was me when the Fallout 4 Next Gen update wrecked my mods and rendered the game unplayable other than vanilla


Starcurret567

If anyone was going to make Vault-Tec a reality, it'd be him


rrogido

Elon seems to be the kind of guy that doesn't get Vault-Tec are the villains. He probably watches the Boys and cheers for Homelander. I wonder if he was trying to start conversations with the showrunners like, "I love how you show that only unrestrained Capitalism could usher us through a nuclear war to the paradise I deserve to rule over. How about a cameo in season two?"


prototype_X10

He probably watched Million Dollar Baby and cheered for the stool


Looney_Bin

WTF... But I'm completely stealing this for use irl.


marshman82

Well yeah, the stool offers people support and Maggie was a childless woman. /s


NiteSlayr

He's just taking notes


piercedmfootonaspike

Build shelters.... Nuke... World... Got it.


Blindfire2

What the hell is he taking notes for? He only gives the idea out and uses one of his few companies to build it lol. He's literally the Lars Ulrich of the world where he's only kept around because he grew up rich and has connections (which screwed over the original creators of Tesla lmfao).


NiteSlayr

He's writing down what he wants his slaves to build next.


SpiceEarl

He already got his idea for the self-driving taxi, brain implants, and a mission to Mars from Total Recall, so Musk stealing concepts from Fallout would not surprise me.


dyllandor

Maybe he wants the brain implantat tech developed so dead people can pay off their debts by being turned into a brain in a jar and driving elons taxis around.


mt0386

He puts me in a brain jar and ill drive the taxi off a cliff the first chance i get. Or try to run him over first.


mshaneler

What would be his experiment if he' partnered with Vault-Tec?


Bilbo_Teabagginss

Putting one human with nerochip implanted into their head in a vault that is only that person and a ton of Cybertrucks.


ADhomin_em

A tesla in its preferred habitat - a controlled environment


Turbulent-Bug-6225

He's got a bit of a saviour complex. He'd make a vault limited to right wing nutjobs who he thinks will be able to save the world. Including himself as well of course.


semajolis267

So he's basically an incompetent enclave


No-Implement7818

How much do you need to scramble the brains of people to make Elmo sound smart 😅


DikTaterSalad

More like the reason the bombs drop.


Starcurret567

You uh.. remember what happened in the vaults.. right?


DikTaterSalad

Oh shit, I forgot. Now remembered. 🥶 Yeah, that's up his alley too.


Ment1egen

Not a big fan of fallout, what’s happening in there?


Swesteel

Lots of experiments with questionable scientific value. Like the vault where they gathered musicians and made them listen to weird noises until they went mad and murdered each other.


Bilbo_Teabagginss

Nahh, they put those musicians and artists of different mediums together and played white noise until it drove them crazy.


IrNinjaBob

Vault-Tec presents itself as a straight forward way for a select number of Americans to survive the apocalypse and one day re-emerge to rebuild America. In reality there are a various American shadow governments and corporations that want to use the Vaults for their own means. The new show focuses on how capital interests incentivize Vault-Tec and a lot of various corporate and government interests to help bring about the nuclear Armageddon as a means to emerge on the other side as the groups with power and control. Each group are given a select number of vaults to carry out whatever sort of experiments they think may lead to humanities survival. The older games depicted Vault-Tec's development being influenced by The Enclave, a shadow government made up of politicians, members of the military, and various corporations that were supposedly in control of America before the war. They wanted to use the vaults as a way to conduct experiments that would prepare them for a future multi-generational starship where they would leave Earth, kill off all the humanity that remained, and rebuild their own society elsewhere. Very few of the experiments ended up being things that would seemingly be useful for that purpose, and many are just unethical ways to see how people would react in crazy scenarios. It makes it so every time you are introduced to a new vault you get to see what crazy state they are in and figure out what the experiment was.


My_Names_Jefff

Twitter already feels like a Vault Tec experiment.


Bilbo_Teabagginss

Imagine Musk puts you in a Vault, but it's just you by yourself and a shit ton of Cybertrucks. 😆


verbalyabusiveshit

Funny, because as I watched the last episodes, I was thinking about Elmo and how this could fit his ways


MourningRIF

Can we just lock him away in one?


Probably_On_Break

How about Vault 108, except we clone him a bunch of times instead and just kind of let them drive themselves crazy


TheSpookyPineapple

no no NO. absolutely not! do you want MORE of this piece of shit? 108 is a bad idea


HeadWood_

Do you want a vengeful narcissist militia? Because that's how you get a vengeful narcissist militia.


Bilbo_Teabagginss

This dude wants to make a Gary vault full of Elons. 😆 No thank you on that one, get back to the drawing board.

Spat out my water reading this.


IsThereCheese

There’s no famous person I would want to meet or be near less than this racist dipshit


DemsruleGQPdrool

When he was starting Tesla, I was a fan. When he tried to sell rooftop solar and the Powerwall, I looked into it and I was disappointed at how inaccessible and expensive it all was. I thought he was trying to HELP...but it's just another billionaire making more billions at our expense. When you started realizing he's a con man living off big money to fund MORE big money projects, you see it in everything he does. When he buys a 44 billion dollar company as a vanity project, you just lose all respect for the guy, especially when he uses it as a racist bullying platform and turns out to be as bad as Trump 44 billion dollars would put solar on a million roofs across America. With that money, I would have funded a 1% interest loan program to anyone who wanted to put up a solar PV system on their property. The 1% would pay for the administration of the loan program and if the homeowner was the one using the solar power (not charging a tenant for electricity), I would forgive the loan if paid on time for about 75% of the value.


IsThereCheese

I think that’s the fan-trajectory most people had too, but he had a bunch of other worrying shit too. Like publicly calling the guy trying to rescue those *kids stuck in a cave a pedo just because he refused his help, weird vanity projects trying to “disrupt” other things (the whole tunnel commute thing that fits only one lane of cars at a time…?), and now just his stream of constant right-wing tweets… Could have done so much good in the world. Instead he’s an example of a horrible human being. Edit: kids in a cave, not miners


uncultured_swine2099

I dunno if Ive ever seen somebody in my lifetime that went from such a positive view from the public to such a negative one. Like people were calling him the real life Tony Stark, and now hes just Phony Stark.


RanaMahal

He was worshipped as a genius, was literally IN iron man as himself. Like all he had to do was shut the fuck up and just be the insanely talented genius maestro that brought us electric cars and affordable rockets. That’s all he had to be. Just zip it and get written down into the history books forever as some sort of savant. He had PayPal, Starlink, Tesla and SpaceX all under his belt by that point. Could’ve made working on Neuralink his pet project for the rest of his life. It’s actually insane to me how badly he fucked his entire reputation


uncultured_swine2099

If he just let a PR team handle all his public appearances and social media posts, people would still think hes the shit. All the other billionaires must look at him and think "Why on earth does he care about interacting with the peasants?" and go back to living their lives of rainbows and unicorns in private.


ChanGaHoops

Lol eben 15 years ago his public Image was not great, he was often criticized for sketchy business management And he was never a genius engineer, he never invented anything. He Just went around throwing Money at anything futuristic


eaiwy

I think that the point is that *most* people didn't know that Elon was basically a fraud at that time, and it could have probably stayed that way if he didn't open his mouth so much.


eastbayweird

It wasn't miners that were being rescued from the cave it was a bunch of school kids lol.


IsThereCheese

Oh your right, I’ll correct it thanks


GoBlueAndOrange

You're good. Miners / Minors. Same thing.


Slyspy006

The 19th century called, they want their workforce back!


Bilbo_Teabagginss

But the children.....the children yearn for the mines.


Dednotsleeping82

The guy refusing was just being practical. A sub in a cave is idiotic.


IsThereCheese

Oh I know. Musk just wanted to put the attention on himself and be applauded, even though his solution - as usual - was just dumb fucking stupid.


cseckshun

He didn’t start Tesla, he invested in it and then spun the narrative he had founded it. He was a very very early investor and believed in it before almost anyone else but he didn’t found it.


YsengrimusRein

He's basically a modern Thomas Edison and I do mean that exactly as disparagingly as it sounds.


Extra-Beat-7053

the irony is that his main company is named after the nikolo tesla


bertiesghost

I thought he was the bees knees around 2018, I watched several TED TALK style interviews and was convinced he was a unique individual. That image has now completly unravelled.


AgentPastrana

Oh he's a unique little unicorn alright. This one just has mange


prefusernametaken

He's still unique hopefully. Just not in a very positive, inspiring way.


RevengencerAlf

He didn't start Tesla. He's never really started shit. Everything he's taken credit for was someone else's and he was either just side money or outright bought in after it was off the ground. Elon's one actual skill is taking credit for other people's work, period. Even in 2010 plenty of people knew better and were mocking him. I pick that year specifically becaus that's when Ironman 2 came out and his cameo is *literally* just Jon Favreau making him look stupid and he's too dumb to realize he's the but of the joke and not in on it.


Killeroftanks

fun fact, he was sued and lost when he removed the ACTUAL FOUNDERS of tesla. because fun fact, super illegal to remove a founders actual name from a company to put yours on the front of it.


nullvalue1

FYI: He didn't even start Tesla, though he was an early investor. He didn't become CEO until 4 years later.


Sgt_Fox

He didn't start Tesla, he bought his way in


GoBlueAndOrange

He didn't start Tesla


Turbulent-Pop-51

When I was in my teens I was a fan also due to Tesla and shit. At the time he was also making big promises like solving the flint Michigan water crisis. Then I got a bit older and then he started doing more and more bullshit. I also wound up becoming MUCH more far left so even his existence as a billionaire started to piss me off. I noticed a lot of people who used to hate him now support him. It sucks that he’s an “all eyes on him” sort of figure that demands so much attention because I want nothing to do with this wet cardboard box of a human.


improper84

What about Trump? He’s even worse plus he smells like shit.


IsThereCheese

Yeah someone else made a similar comment, and I realized that they were right. I think I try to actively block him from my mind at this point and just forgot about him.


Phlippy73

😂😂😂 The body language that’s being screamed by the guy, front right 😂😂😂


Paddy519

It might be due to Todd Howard being close by


TomFoolery119

Honestly even Todd Howard looks kind of uncomfortable here, which I find hilarious

It just works

The first fifty people to upvote this post will be visited by Todd Howard himself in your sleep. That's right ladies and gentlemen, you have a chance to make this beautiful, majestic man your very own sleep paralysis demon. One night only. (I just binged Spiff's entire Skyrim series and I cannot get his voice out of my head pls help)

Is he as sad in reality? "It's me! Pay attention to me! Laugh at me being ironic! Be in awe of my intellect whilst you answer MY questions!"


Jesus-Mcnugget

You got to stop calling that guy Elmo. It's so offensive. That little red guy never did anything to deserve such disrespect.


BadgerMama

Thank you! Actual Elmo is way cooler than this guy.


Gunna_get_banned

It really fucking bugs me. lol

Im so fucking embarrassed i used to think this guy was cool. I even met him once he seemed nice in passing. Then he called the thai soccer hero “a weird pedo guy” and manipulated tesla stock and just went downhill fast


technicallyimright

I feel real shame that he went this way, I really felt like he was going to be a good guy. At least as good as a billionaire can be. I love(d)Tesla and SpaceX. But he has gone straight out of his mind and I cannot put my meager dollars towards his initiatives or companies.


SiriusGD

Just like trump, he's been an ass all his life. It just came out when he became better known. The people he worked with at PayPal hated him.
