So is he changing name again to XVideo?
Xvideo? I never heard of that before um…
I'm going to purchase xvideos.com right now!
Too late, some mastermind from the Czech Republic already did it in '98
He likes the letter X so much, why not prepend 2 more while you're at it
He likes X because it's closest to a swastika without being one. Extras would just be redundant.
Better double down and buy xideo.com as well
Should get Vin as the spokesman and call it xXxvideo.
Guys, I think he's just trolling humanity. If he's actually trolling, I think he earned my respect. He'd be the biggest troll humanity has and will ever know. Like, the cheer magnitude, the execution.... damn.
Nope he is just a rich spoiled manchild on cocaine.
Damn, sarcasm is hard.
Right but you also seem confused about what sarcasm is.
I know, I said sarcasm is hard, didn't I?
You mean it is hard for you to execute it?
That also doesn't make much sense as a reply.
Man, get those neurons checked. If you think the initial comment wasn't sarcasm, you need. to go and read the definition.
It absolutely wasn't "sarcasm".
OK, maybe it wasn't sarcasm in the traditional sense, but it was clearly not something pro-Musk, which is why most dumbasses are downvoting.
No, it wasn't sarcasm in any sense.
I like how you completely ignored the other aspect of what I said. It says a lot about who you are and how you debate.
I didn't care about the other aspect you were trying to steer to.
But also no, the downvotes we're because the comment was stupid. Then you tried to lie about "sarcasm" and how other people were too stupid to get it, which got you a bunch more.
I don't really care about the personal attacks you're trying to make. But blocking you, since you seem like a child lashing out when called out, and it's worthless.
No troll ever deserved respect for trolling. And I say that as someone who occasionally engages in innocent trolling.
He's obviously not trolling the whole planet, it was a joke... but people hate him so much that they even downvote hypothetical sarcastic imaginary praise
Man, Eloon apologists are working overtime these days
Are you seriously so retarded you thought I was actually supporting Elon Musk somehow with that comment?
I think Musk is pretty retarded, but you take the trophy. Are you sure you're not trolling?
My theory is he's pulling a zero requiem. He watches anime, so he's probably watched code geas - it's a very popular futuristic anime after all
First he became the symbol of the useful billionaire, the Tony Stark guy who's going to save humanity, because he's a futurist with the power of money. He learns everything about his companies the way a kid learns every stat about their model car, and actually does weirdly good as a hype man. He gives off the awkwardness of an engineer
After he meets Trump in the white house, he realizes how close we are to the brink. The fact that billionaires own all our media has led to existential danger, where truth doesn't matter and money speaks
So, there's a plan for a group of individuals to buy Twitter. There's text logs of this - he was invited into a group planning to buy it together for the good of humanity, but it took all of 5 minutes for them to start carving holes in the ideology, so he backs out.
He then announced the intention to buy, trapping him in a situation where he was forced to go through with it... He struggled a bit, but not that hard really
So then comes the plan. He takes over, and every two weeks or so, he makes an impulsive decision showing zero understanding of the company. One idiotic decision at a time, spread out long enough to remind people "I'm still here, and I'm still ruining a major platform for public discourse!"
People start to realize he's actually kind of dumb and pretty racist... Even the fanboys are getting quieter and quieter in defending him. It's becoming public knowledge he isn't a Tesla or spaceX founder, he came in as an investor when they already had a plan
He's burning up half his fortune in an effort to show us all what a billionaire is. He's not a businessman, he went to college to learn programming but doesn't understand the basics of software, he's hated by pretty much everyone in his personal life, and every company he's tried to build from scratch has been a disaster. He lies constantly, in ways that will eventually come to light.
This guy was able to buy Twitter, just because he invested in a company that bought and sold PayPal (after kicking him out for being unbearable). He's showing us all that billionaires are an existential danger to mankind, even the "good" ones.
Or, maybe he's just having a midlife crisis and has a compulsive need for attention. One of the two.
oh boy, get ready for the downvote rain. You can't make jokes here my man.
