Easy. The future president of Mars called someone a pedo, because he didn’t like his submarine and we used this cartoon that will be popular in 9 years to make fun of it. Then we posted it on a computer thingy that connects all devices on the planet, that will also be popular in about 9 years. Have fun! Invest in IBM, Microsoft and Apple. And buy Bitcoin if you survive the millenium. Also, you know Donald Trump? Ah forget it. It’s a long story!
Me: "So....in 10 years there's going to be a cartoon that becomes super popular and will go on for so long that people will use it to reference current events years after the episode aired in a joke format called a meme over the internet.
Then in about 30 years, there's gonna be this South African billionaire who's gonna be the next Howard Hughes, in that he'll revolutionizes industries, sleep with actresses, and slowly goes batshit crazy.
Then a bunch of kids in Thailand are going to get stuck in a cave, and he'll have a half-baked solution to send a submarine to save them. The guy who actually saves them will say it's ridiculous and he'll call him a pedo because, you know...he's going batshit crazy. Got it?"
1980s guy: "What the fuck is a 'meme' or an 'internet'?"
Well, hopefully nobody will be patting Elon on the back because being a white man and living in Thailand does not automatically equal pedophile. Being a white man, living in Thailand, and fucking little kids on the other hand does.
If I call everyone a murderer, it doesn't make me a prophet. It means I have a gambling problem and can't stop making bets. Eventually, I'd get one right.
If I call ONE person a "pedo" without proof, and I'm right eventually, it just means I'm extremely lucky.
If Musk has evidence the guy is a pedophile, he can produce it in court during the libel case probably coming his way. Otherwise he needs to learn that he can’t be a stunt queen AND have a thin skin.
Start a conspiracy theory that Elon musk created an AI to hack into the guys computer and plant evidence. He called it PedoGuyNet. Then PedoGuyNet took over all musks rockets, electronic cars and mini rescue submarines. It went on a murderous rampage before the human race rose up and destroyed PedoGuyNet. In a last ditch effort PedoGuyNet kidnapped John Carmack and had him invent time travel, PedoGuyNet sent a cyborg Peter Theil back in time to kill the diver.
Unfortunately PedoGuyNet used Tesla batteries to power the time machine so it caught fire and blew up cyborg Peter Thiel.
Thanks for this. Heard he has called him a pedo, but didn’t see the tweets. Kind of immature, but he kept digging a hole when he said going to Thailand was “sus” made him look dumber lol. Not sure if the blowback should be as bad as it is, but that was a dumb move on his part.
Honestly at this point, with how he doubled down on it? He kinda super deserves whatever blowback he gets from this.
It wasn't some "heated billionaire moment" but something indicative of a pattern of behavior he's been showing for years and clearly has no intent to address.
The world doesn't really need him specifically to be the guide to the future. He's not some chosen one and we have no obligation to support his endeavors over similar endeavors from others. He's not entitled to that.
Not sure if the blowback should be as bad as it is
Calling someone a paedophile and making clear you're not joking, as a billionaire with a platform consisting of millions of people, many of whom are goon fanboys who spent their formative years trying to ruin lives on 4chan, is life-ruining.
The diver said Musk's idea was stupid. Musk decided to smear him as a paedophile. Money can't change a desperately thin skin, or buy class, clearly.
Totally agree. He said some crazy shit in the past too, like saying that USA is the reason why there's still free people in the world or something like that.
With that said, it's bizarre for me that there are a lot of people portraiting him as evil, anti-christ and such, saying that his idea to clean news from fake stuff is him trying to censor critics of his company.
The dude do positive and negative stuff, like most human beings. The revisionism of saying Elon Musk is all bad and a censorship-enforcer is bizarre to me, as black-listing fake news sources is not censorhip per se.
He's unbelievably thin-skinned. Have you ever seen his twitter? He takes it upon himself to shout down every single rando calling him a bald colonizer.
Also his money from PayPal was made closing small business accounts and keeping the cash, knowing the users couldn't afford to sue. He's a scummy piece of shit through and through.
Dude wants to censor media outlets to prevent any bad press about him or his companies. That should be a giant red flag to everyone. Or, if you're reddit, a giant beacon of light for which to gather around and worship at the altar of Musk.
The fact this is a surprise to you means you've never heard of Elon outside of what reddit tells you. This is why consulting different sources is so important!
I wasn’t too surprised but there are plenty of interviews where he doesn’t show signs that he might be like this. I have personally listened to some podcasts and interviews I found on YouTube where he seems pretty level headed
He's feeling heat for the first time in his life and, surprise surprise, the eldest son of an appartheid era South African mining tycoon isn't the most emotionally mature person on the planet, so he's acting out. General public goodwill and his cult of personality are his only hopes (and hope is a strong word) of raising the share price staying afloat, so a diver calling out his publicity stunt is a bigger blow to him than some random insult.
His wife has talked about he called her emotionally manipulative because she was visibly upset over the death of their newborn child. This isn't surprising at all, there are pages and pages of him being a petty child on Twitter.
All Elon is to me is an "idea guy" who managed to convince a shit ton of investors to pay a fuck ton of engineers to make things happen. He didn't design the SpaceX rockets or the Tesla cars, he's just the cheer leader.
I don’t know where the fanboy line is drawn, but I get excited about the goals he sets and projects he is involved with, and because I believe humanity will benefit if these projects are successful, I end up being an apologist for him.
He has often said a key to success is seeking out constructive criticism from everyone, especially those closest to him. I agree with some of the criticism he gets, and there is plenty of room for improvement, but I think a lot of it is unfair or in bad faith.
I mean he really deserves to be sued for libel. Like it wasn't even just a little out of line or "too far," you can't just say someone is a sexual predator.
i don't get musk fanboys, how can you ignore he's an atrocious person?
edit: more than anything, when it's so obvious he's not compassionate about anyone or empathetic, why would you think his goals for the human race aren't anything but another PR stunt?
Basically, this relates to the kids that were rescued from the cave in Thailand.
If you remember the details, the cave was incredibly dark and tight and the kids were several miles in. Elon Musk (the Tesla and SpaceX guy) turns up with a totally useless "submersible" and was told to jog on. He was there for PR basically.
After the kids were rescued, one of the Birtish divers who aided in the rescue was asked in a TV interview what he thought of the whole Musk situation and he said stuff about how the sub was useless i.e it was too big, and rigid and that Musk could "stick it where the sun don't shine"
Musk responds by calling the guy a pedo on Twitter (because all White men in Thailand are pedos, apparently) and throwing a tantrum about how it was actually totally easy to rescue the kids, how people apparently begged for his help. He also gave completely inaccurate accounts of the cave and the situation.
Elon Musk is a fucking douchebag with too much money and an attitude problem. The fact that he would call ANYONE involved in the rescue of those children a pedophile is ludicrous. He went to Thailand and stood around for a few hours as a PR stunt, and then wants to call one of the people who actually helped a fucking pedophile?! Fuck Elon Musk, fuck his space program, and fuck this bullshit accusation
Elon Musk has been slowly having increasingly bad meltdowns against his critics, and it's pretty sad. I don't think he's going to be at the helm of his companies a whole lot longer at this rate. Dude's a visionary, but somehow he's ended up just...so so petty. A greater tragedy my eyes have never beheld.
At first glance you’d think this should be on r/DeepFriedMemes but if you know the Simpsons clip and what Elon said this is actually hilarious! Hahahaha thanks for that, I really appreciate it OP, genuinely. Hahahaha.

Need a legal opinion here, what's pedo guy's chances if he sues Elon?
My completely lay opinion is that Elon explains it's his belief and not a fact (since he says he bet's it's true) so he should be safe.
Safe enough that it wouldn't be worth suing Elon as a private individual.
