Moron billionaire class. Think they’ll survive the collapse of humanity in their bunkers. The reality being they will be murdered by their staff on day one.
Every bunker needs an air intake and exhaust
His bodyguards will strangle his arse and take over his bunker.
Or simply die in a flood since they can’t fix the pump.
That’s what the bomb collars are for.
“I don’t really like the bomb collar, but the pay is good and I get an hour for lunch.”
Praetorian guards again, go figure

b-but look how cool he is
All I can think when I see this picture is how good that fit would have looked if it just wasn’t elon wearing it.
All I hear is “When I was a young boy, my father took me into the city to see a marching band”
MCR is also the best band in history.
He’s since deleted the post, but in a followup comment he mentioned the irony of talking about becoming a warlord using a picture of Max, a noted warlord killer.
As typical for all right-wingers, Musk is utterly incapable of critically examining art.
He really thinks that cyberpunk is cool and does not understand any of the philosophy or ideology behind it.
Cyberpunk is cool, if you’re a Tessier-Ashpool.
Cyberpunk IS cool as long as I get to experience it as a little mental retreat, a neon colored view of the what-if from the comfort of my chair in my paid off house in a country with universal healthcare and strong worker rights.
Ladies: warlords will rape, abuse, and kill you. They know nothing but brutality and care nothing about your well-being.
God, I hope I am presented with a national historic news very very soon.
I fucking love Robert Evans. BTB has consumed dozens of hours of my time.
Sidenote, of course this chode doesn’t acknowledge that he and his peers are unbelievably culpable in the downfall of society and probably the planet.
Of course they do, why do you think Peter Thiel has NZ citizenship?
Why do you think musk dabbles in Neuralink?
If it comes down to it, Elon’s own security boys will lug him in the back of the head.
Was he the one who said he’d put explosive collars on his guards?
I hope he films the process of him trying to get death collars onto a a team of expensive security guards so that future archaeologists can have a laugh
Expensive, highly skilled guards. Because all these dumb billionaire fucks are hiring ex-spec ops and shit. You know, the type of people who know how to take away your dumb little supervillain detonator button and waterboard you for the release key before they ventilate your skull.
Only for the remote to explode when he pushes the button because the guy who made it realized someone who would use explosive collars deserves to wear one.
The more chilling thing to me being that he is causing, wants, and/or expects this as someone “in power”, for wont of a better term. Is this a desire (definitely) or coming to terms with things already set in motion? I hope it’s just a shitpost, but who knows at this point?
It’s a nazi eugenics dream to wipe the country off of undesirables and initiate your plan of gender affirming individuals as they pop out of tubes. A good reminder thwt a journalist interviewed a billionaire who was showcasing their mega bunker in case everything goes to shit. What bothered the billionaire was how is he able to control his security when the natural order is upside down?
Journalist suggested empathy, to understand and care about your security detail. Billionaire disregarded that and suggested to himself shock collars would be more ideal than empathy.
All that money won’t mean shit if the economy collapses. Musk is such a goddamn clown.
Elon’s wealth comes from the value of Tesla stock - an overvalued PoS stock that has never paid a single dividend. His twitter loan was secured by Tesla stock, so the more the price tanks, at some point you’d think the loan would be called due.
But hey, Elon is now in charge of government contracts and spending, what luck.
I keep saying that all the billionaires are imaginary. All their money is tied up in concepts. ;ie stocks, bonds etc. hell even land will be worthless in an apocalypse. At most their maybe worth a couple hundred in mill in cash liquidity. Which will also become worthless in an apocalypse…
What good is it to have a million dollars to buy an apple if there are no apples to be had?
All that money won’t mean shit if the economy collapses.
Money is temporary, daddy’s blood diamonds are forever. 💎
Yeah. Being part of a corrupt kakistocracy, in a highly visible role, but not smart or tough enough to survive outside out your cushy trust fund corruption environment, is honestly one of the absolute worst places to be. You’d be better off as “prison inmate” or “homeless person.” Literally anything else.
i hope you write that down, as much as you can remember, and get it out there
Using Max himself as the guy with warlord potential is kinda weird considering he has passed on the opportunity every time.
We’ve seen Mad Max, but what about Reasonable Max, Supply-Side Max or even Opportunistic Max? Or, in this particular case, Grimes-please-call-me Max? That’s a whole different story.
I just want to remind everyone that those who call for war have never experienced it, and the closer you experience it, the less you want it.
The folks who come back from war and get folded into the police state are still hungry to relive their “glory” days. The dime store torture goons that have climbed up the rectum of the political system and now occupy Governorships and Senate Seats are sadists who long for the rush of hot blood splatter and the siren’s song of human screams. The gangs of rapists unleashed across Gaza, Egypt, Jordan, and Iraq by their IDF commanders are like locusts - they’ve been created to destroy and that’s all they know how to do.
The closer you are to war the more is transforms you into a creature of war.
I’ve always liked the idea that people who get a country into a war have to have skin in the game: either go to the frontlines, or have a family member there.
I think trump would treat his kids the same way Stalin did…
Wasn’t it just the one son Stalin treated like ass? Pretty sure he dotted on his daughter and at least cared for the son who died in combat.
Yeah I haven’t personally known warlords but I’ve been close enough to know the type and he ain’t it. They would be picking bits of him out of their teeth with toothpicks by the end of day one.
why?
Warlords don’t just pay people to respect them They command respect via a combination of loyalty, fear, and rewarding those who follow them. A common cause can help but it isn’t required. None of this describes Elon Musk who cuts people loose at the first opportunity, abuses his staff, and looks for every opportunity to underpay them. Most successful corporate executives would do very badly to be honest. They are the exact opposite of real leadership.
lol sorry i was confused. i gotcha.
I don’t want to be a warlord. I want to be a lovelord.
Musk’s power only comes from his wealth. That wealth is in a currency that is tied directly to the world’s trust in the US government. That trust is being very quickly diminished. If things get ‘Mad Max’ bad all of his wealth will be absolutely worthless.
Don’t worry, that’s what Dogecoin is for! 🤡
The vast majority of his wealth is stock market speculation, not even US currency.
Toyota is a car company that makes solid cars with an anonymous CEO. It has a P/E ratio of about 7.5 and a market cap of about $230 billion.
Tesla is a car company that makes a few solid cars, and one absolutely ridiculous vehicle that is the laughing stock of trucks. It has a CEO that most of the world has an intensely negative opinion of, and that negative opinion is highest among the people wealthy enough to consider buying a Tesla. It has a P/E ratio of approximately 175 and a market cap of $918 billion.
If Tesla’s P/E ratio fell to something more realistic, let’s be extremely generous and say 7, it would be worth only $37 billion, about 4% of the current value. Realistically, it should be significantly below that. When people are regularly spraypainting swastikas on your vehicles, your P/E ratio should be lower than other automobile manufacturers because it’s a sign that your future growth prospects may be slightly impaired by the unwillingness of people to buy your vehicles.
When Tesla’s value does collapse (and I’m convinced it’s a “when” not an “if”) it will crater Musk’s net worth, because at least half of it is due to his Tesla stock.
I fucking hate stock market bullshit it’s just made up of people’s feels. Not even grounded in reality in the slightest.
Maybe when people collectively realize this ridiculous smoke trick of run away capitalism as our means of social organization is just that, smoke, we may have a chance.
But I guess in the meantime I wish I would have bought Bitcoin years ago even though it’s being treated as a security when it’s backed by thin air. It’s wild how concentrated the actual amount of Bitcoin is though. It’s like an oligarch’s wet dream.
Supposedly the self driving capabilities is the reason for the high valuation, but he has lied about having it ‘by the end of the year’ for about a decade now. So maybe they will catch on around 2030 if the economy doesn’t completely collapse in the next few years.
Nobody who knows anything about self-driving would give Tesla any credit for that.
The fact that Tesla’s slight improvement to lane-assist is labelled as “full self-driving” by Tesla has really damaged the reputation of the industry. GM is way ahead of them because of the knowledge they have in-house thanks to Cruise. And Cruise gave up because they were so far behind Waymo.
Cruze also parked on a pedestrian, but I think Waymo is only working because google has the money to blow on human monitors working remotely.
Cruze is a different thing. Cruise did have a very public incident where a pedestrian was hit and dragged. But, they had driven more than 1 million miles without that happening.
And while these vehicles do have human monitors, they’re mostly that: monitors. The cars are mostly driving themselves.
dxgh
“”“self-driving”“”***
Hahaha you’ll be the first taco Tuesday Musk.
