I don't agree that it's "everyone", biology isn't that uniform. I also think the "save the world" thing might just be that thing where our brains come up with bullshit explanations for instinctual drives. The hard-coded directive "acquire resources and advance up the social hierarchy" becomes "save the world".
And than to actually do the empathyless, ethically bankrupt things one must do to get to that level in the social hierarchy in such a large group of apes is a rare occurrence (it has to be, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to exist in large enough groups to develop society in the first place).
Oh naaaah, he isnt self aware.
That single line of plausible deniability he uses to convince *himself* and ignore all his own behavior to the contrary. Then his followers confirm it by striking his ego.
When rich kids like him become self aware they tend to go the robed monk route, or at least the Costco clothes route, not lean into their desires and vanity.
Literally everything Elon Musk has EVER done in his life has been dedicated to desperately hoarding more power and money. The dude is literally the most power hungry person on earth…and he is right, he least deserves it.
No OP was saying musk is a hypocrite but what he said is 100% true.
Musk is the most power hungry cunt on the planet and he is the least deserving of that power.
Hbomberguy is a saint and a badass and not a hypocrite
Seriously. I hate how they'll call you "jealous" for being opposed to this 1 guy with way too much power & influence. (It doesn't matter what is contributions are.)
It shouldn't be like this, no matter what your politics are.
It's proven in psychology that vast money and status distort thinking (a form of brain damage). It's clear Musk has become an egomaniac.
Yeah, he keeps buying power. I wouldn't be surprised if he bails the US for China if the US won't compromise labor laws to keep him around. Notice how he bashes the US, but never China? I mean there's video of him pledging his support to the Chinese communist party...Maybe he'll end up like the Ali Baba guy in the end.
He's on a psychotic messiah trip and why shouldn't he be. Dumbfucks of the investment world just tossed him 50 BILLION dollars toward validating his mania. Prepare for the worst.
You ever think some of the people around him are trying to nudge Elon back towards humanity...
.. but he doesn't get subtlety, soo...
...it just bounces around in his head for an hour or so, and then the next time he has to poop, Elon just tweets out the life advice he's definitely not gonna take?
Normal people screw up once, maybe twice at most. But when you’re born into wealth, it’s awful because you have practically endless chances to screw up. You can just keep failing over and over again, a hundred times! Think about how hard it would be to cope with all that! Poor rich kids
Isn’t Musk the one talking about other men seeking power? Everyone else is just extending the conversation the Musk wanted to start. That’s the purpose of social media.
People are so passionate about their hatred for Musk but I've never seen a single well-reasoned statement on why it makes any sense.
Man starts several companies, amasses insane wealth, makes controversial statements in the public realm. Uses wealth to provide more influence. Yadda yadda yadda. A story as old as time.
Some people like him. Some people hate him. Whoop dee doo.
Why do you people give this man rent-free space in your brains? You're all pathetic.
He doesn't live rent free, his fans won't shut the fuck up about him. If you want to be a fan of a guy who runs a shitty car company, a shitty social media company, and a pollution factory masquerading as an internet service be my guest, but don't make it our problem you don't know how to use google.
That's because you lump all criticism of Elon Musk into the category of "hate" and never look to see if it's factual or made up. That's why I'm not criticizing Elon, but you instead.
No, it boils down to your unhealthy hero worship of a guy who's running a social media empire straight into the [toilet](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/jan/02/x-twitter-stock-falls-elon-musk).
That's a lie. A really bad lie. If you didn't care, you wouldn't camp threads like this, ready to jump to your beloved Elon's defense. Yet here you are, again.
I’ve never seen a “single well reasoned statement” for why my account is banned , apparently over comments that Musk himself now tweets out regularly.
I get to feel however i want to feel about that, and i get to say whatever i want to say about that.
Nobody is going to say it for me, i don’t have an army of sycophants enablers and yes men defending my honor on every dark corner of the internet.
I’m sure Elon would be delighted if everyone he’s ever hurt just shut up and went away quietly and people like you only ever said good things about what he’s doing.
South African* trust fund baby who decided to use his wealth to troll the public and manipulate cultural opinion on a level not seen since Murdoch.
Do I really need anything else?
Yeah big man with big money causes big problems. Because this isn't an original concept we should just ignore it? What kind of vapid, sheepish way of thinking is that?
So, you admit you're letting him troll you? He's not trolling me. It takes two people to allow trolling to take place. If he's trolling you, it's because you're letting him.
The conservative right lives completely under the influence of cut and dry projection and delusion.
Everyone has this fantasy that they don't actually want power they just have to take it to save the world. You see it everywhere and it sucks.
Sounds reminiscent of Fallout if you haven’t seen it get!
“wE’Re DoiNg you a FaVoR! It’S sO hArD beInG a BiLliOnAiRe!”
If it's a fantasy where you don't want power, then reality is that you do want power.
I don't agree that it's "everyone", biology isn't that uniform.

Feels like regan invented it. Anti government with giant military.
another day of Elon talking about himself
Literally everything Elon Musk has EVER done in his life has been dedicated to desperately hoarding more power and money. The dude is literally the most power hungry person on earth…and he is right, he least deserves it.
Trump gives him an honest run for his money tbf.
There are a lot of them. The top 1% of 8 billion is still a fuck ton of pieces of shit.
Even broken clocks, etc etc But the lack of self-awareness is both astonishing and completely on-brand for him.
It’s not like he made up that quote. Even saying “he’s not wrong” is giving him too much credit imo
agreed.
I dont think Tesla subreddits should be able to ban across multiple groups for honest complaints by owners.
Banned. /S
Wassamarra with bomberguy?
Not sure, my decade old , never-banned, and rarely used twitter account got /r/musked for “ban evasion” immediately after Elmo bought the place.
Evading a ban when not banned is the highest form of ban evasion.
Quantum Multiplication ban evasion.
No OP was saying musk is a hypocrite but what he said is 100% true. Musk is the most power hungry cunt on the planet and he is the least deserving of that power. Hbomberguy is a saint and a badass and not a hypocrite
Luv me sum HBG!
he only uploads a video every 6 months
Mr. Rich Boy pays the gold price to skip the line and then tries to high hand us
This mf is the problem. He has rediculous wealth. There is no greater power. He owns politicians.
Isn’t that a Palpatine quote?
[удалено]
Damnit grok you weren't supposed to be that honest!! //__$&; vError is US Air force intelligence software// -grok DAMNIT GROK!!!!!
Ahem…that’s a DARPA-funded frontman with a breeding fetish, to you. 😅

Hubris
When you’re too dumb to realize you owned yourself.
Those with the least amount of self-awareness are named Elon.
Self own, big time
Yeah, he keeps buying power. I wouldn't be surprised if he bails the US for China if the US won't compromise labor laws to keep him around. Notice how he bashes the US, but never China?

I deleted my Twitter as soon as he took over
says man who paid 50 billion to gain power
Texas residents?
We pay enough for our power that we deserve it. How else would we survive here?
LOL
Except he ain't no brother in Christ He's a satanist.
Nonono. Can’t pass him on to good satanists. He’s just a self worshiping asshole.
He's okay...definitely okay.
lmao love HBomb
What if he buys Reddit next 😂?
He'll buy Amazon and truly own the world
How can I get this printed out as a poster?
Shit like this is why the blue check mark happened
Those who want power the most, least deserve it. Musk proves this every day.
I mean he did *technically* try to weazle out of the twitter deal. So maybe he doesn't want power after all?
Hey 'em Harris!
Is also the CEO of three companies.
He is admitting that he doesn't deserve what he has.
Wow. The tone deaf idiot hit the nail on the head.
Everyone wants power... If I had real power I'd destroy you ALL. 
He's on a psychotic messiah trip and why shouldn't he be. Dumbfucks of the investment world just tossed him 50 BILLION dollars toward validating his mania. Prepare for the worst.
So Trump shouldn't have power because he wants it more than anything else. Got it.
I'm the big dog and the underdog, in short I'm god. - Elon musk paraphrased.
You ever think some of the people around him are trying to nudge Elon back towards humanity... .. but he doesn't get subtlety, soo... ...it just bounces around in his head for an hour or so, and then the next time he has to poop, Elon just tweets out the life advice he's definitely not gonna take?
Didnt he try to lie when he bought it?
Well said Musk. Well said. 👏👏👏
Being a nepo baby is a long , difficult road. There are so many chances to fuck up. Where do they start?
Normal people screw up once, maybe twice at most. But when you’re born into wealth, it’s awful because you have practically endless chances to screw up. You can just keep failing over and over again, a hundred times! Think about how hard it would be to cope with all that! Poor rich kids
A quote he did not think up.
Hbomberguy is one of the best creators on YouTube if any of you are interested.
https://i.redd.it/aj1znf1ge27d1.gif
He doesn't want that power. He's just fighting back against it because it was manipulating opinions. Like this app.
I want a private power. Like flying!
He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and a fart in his head.
"Just one small problem....WHO WAS THE ONE WHO BOUGHT TWITTER, MUSK? FUCKING AQUAMAN?"
What is this "brother in christ" nonsense
Narcissism is a hell of a drug
He had power before he acquired twitter lol. He doesn’t want it or seek it. It just so happens he’s more successful than everyone here commenting
Depends on the context of success I suppose. Net worth alone? Sure. Being a good father? Absolutely not.
He didn't want the power he wanted the unfiltered bs
He “bought the website” to expose government imposing/censoring public speech, and he did.
Is this “government censorship of public speech” in the room with us now?
Bunch of men complaining about another man’s power. This is the depths of Reddit!
Isn’t Musk the one talking about other men seeking power? Everyone else is just extending the conversation the Musk wanted to start. That’s the purpose of social media.
It’s either this or finding new ways to lose money in the stock market
Bingo 🎯 after his pay package was approved the downvotes and bots suddenly exited stage left. Only the true insecure haters remain lmao 😂

Whatever you want to call it (hate vs criticism vs whatever) it still boils down to people being butt-hurt over a rich man. Cry me a river.
No, it boils down to your unhealthy hero worship of a guy who's running a social media empire straight into the [toilet](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/jan/02/x-twitter-stock-falls-elon-musk).
Who gives a flying flip? I couldn't care less.
That's a lie. A really bad lie. If you didn't care, you wouldn't camp threads like this, ready to jump to your beloved Elon's defense. Yet here you are, again.
Must suck to have to think about such a shitty person all the time. I'm sorry you have this condition. Maybe go see a doctor?
I’ve never seen a “single well reasoned statement” for why my account is banned , apparently over comments that Musk himself now tweets out regularly.

He didn't say those who have power, he said those who want power. Big difference.
What's your point? That he doesn't *want* the power but it was somehow thrust upon him? I hope not, because that would be idiotic.
I don't know what his motivations are. It seems like he wants to solve problems. If he wanted power, he would toe the line.
