“You think 20 somethings with massive debt, no health insurance, and the awareness that the last polar bear will die in our lifetime are going to have a problem getting into questionable spacecrafts to fuck with billionaires? I’ll get into a catapult.”
Literally nothing makes me happier than the idea of hunting Elon Musk for sport. I am completely serious. The thought actively brings joy to my day.
I’d even give him a backpack of food, maybe a day’s worth. I’d even leave all his little gadgets on him. You’d only get connection with satellite anyway. He’s got to feel confident or it’s no fun.
Would you toy with him a bunch, or just go straight-in for the kill?
Oh you absolutely draw it out are you kidding? You let the initial confidence erode into loneliness as the food and batteries run low, and helplessness when they run out, then fear when he realizes I gave him a canteen but no water. Am I trying to prolong the hunt? Or is it a trap to draw him out towards the rivers? The answer is both.
I’d let him get clever. Maybe he can start a fire with the electronics, maybe he read that he can brew the pine needles into tea for some extra calories. Maybe hes one of those guys that carries a multitool he never uses. Maybe he whittles a branch into a crude spear and manages to catch a salmon. Maybe he learns how many little bones they have.
More likely he goes hungry. That’s when you start fucking with him. You sneak into his camp at night. You leave him protein bars. Good ones. You make him feel watched. You make him feel desperate.
You wait for the full moon. Then you break out the horns and dogs and you learn how fast he can really run.
You seriously need to see a therapist
I kinda wish the tables would turn on people like op
My gut says OP’s response to “what did Elon do to you?” is “he became wealthy and I’m envious and would rather him be dead”
It’s actually the congolese child slave labor and the illegal apartheid emerald mines and the assisting overthrowing the democratically elected government of Bolivia for lithium but go off king
nikola tesla was like “you will live to see man made horrors beyond your comprehension” yeah dude and they’ll prolly be branded with your last name. how does that make you feel
Probably not to great considering if Tesla had the opportunity he’d probably strangle Musk to death for his pigeons entertainment
Petition to resurrect Tesla and sic him on Elon for sport
It’s actually so frustrating because Tesla’s whole thing is that he was a genius who had his ideas stolen and profited from a charismatic asshole with money… and musk is that charismatic Ass hole. He wasn’t one of the founding members of Tesla and absolutely had no part in developing the lithium ion powered vehicle ( we owe that primarily to John Goodenough, Rachid Yazami and Akira Yoshino in the 80’s) and is a figure head for a company where others invent things and he takes the credit. His actually “inventions” (web based calls such as Skype and location based searches) are just things he had the idea for in the 90’s and never developed. All his other achievement like founding PayPal has literally just been “start a company, do nothing with it, let us be bought out by bigger company, remain on board”
It’s so FRUSTRATING because in engineering college people come in as musk fans and professors have to spend time in every single intro class like “no we honor actual engineers here”
Elon Musk’s only real act of genius was casting himself into a fictional archetype (the Tom Swift / John Galt / Tony Stark-style billionaire inventor) that so many people want to believe in so badly that they will overlook the mounting evidence that he’s actually just an unstable idiot with enough money to hire better engineers than himself.
