I did not see this published outside of India. But not sure why. It’s all based on Xitter.

Maybe if we can stress him out enough he'll have a heart attack

[–] Apocalypteroid@lemmy.world 9 points 35 minutes ago (1 children)

I expect the problem is that, when you get that rich, people stop caring about you, they start caring about your money. A string of women who just smash a kid out for him then fuck off. Kids who don't seem to want anything to do with him. Does he have anyone he actually considers a true friend? Probably not. He's just surrounded by bootlickers and yes men, and deep down he knows it. He's probably deeply lonely and paranoid.

Not that I care. He's also a cunt.

[–] Viskio_Neta_Kafo@lemm.ee 2 points 6 minutes ago

If he wasn't a cunt then maybe I'd care but he makes it so easy to enjoy his own suffering.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

imagine ruining people's lives so you can have all the money, only for you to still be miserable. dont get me wrong im happy he is.

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 1 points 1 minute ago

He's doing it too himself, fuck off.

No one asked him to be a co-nazi. No one asked him to take over Twitter. No one asked him to play make-believe auto maker. No one is asking for his fucking biography. He's acting like everyone is pulling him in all these different directions, and no one wants him.

He is the world's richest fucking man. Fuck him. He could have the best doctors/therapy/drugs in the world, could travel the world and "find himself," maybe even do something worth writing about. But he chooses to be a completely waste of human flesh that will be nothing but a smear in history. That's his legacy. A shit smear on an already shit covered era. He's not helping anyone, not even his own kids, he is willfully putting his effort into being the biggest piece of shit.

Fuck him. Fuck his depression, fuck his addiction, fuck his stress, and fuck him. He's ruining my country and wants pity because it's stressing him out.

FUCK HIM

Don’t forget this guy bragged a few years back about not sleeping or sleeping in his office. Let’s not discount how years of sleep deprivation has probably influenced his chaotic behavior.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 4 points 19 minutes ago

I don't buy that shit for a second. He can't tell the truth if he wanted to. Back when he made these claims, overwatch just launched and he spend all day on twitter telling people he works 20 hours a day, plays a lot of overwatch, binges 6 different animes, and spends a lot of time with his family.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 4 points 58 minutes ago (1 children)

It's prolly the drugs keeping him awake

[–] Viskio_Neta_Kafo@lemm.ee 1 points 5 minutes ago

Even on LSD you have to eventually stop playing Overwatch.

[–] merdaverse@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

I know the perfect cure: a vacation to Mars on a Starship. It would remove any depression and drug addiction.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Soon as he starts foaming at the mouth, call animal control to come and lo his head off fothe rabies study

Can’t happen fast enough.

"Elon Didn't Kill Himself"

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 2 points 1 hour ago

Oh please, I'd like to be part of that investigation. Not that I care who would've done it, only that is happened.

He's a ketamine abuser, so it checks out.

Short-term side effects of ketamine use may include headache, dizziness, sleepiness, feeling strange or “loopy,” difficulty speaking, numbness, blurred vision, or nausea. Ketamine may also cause changes in blood pressure and heart rate.11

Studies show that unsupervised ketamine use may have serious health risks.1 These include respiratory depression, which is dangerously slow and shallow breathing. A NIDA-funded study found that problems related to ketamine use reported to poison control centers increased 81% from 2019-2021. The use of other drugs along with ketamine, especially opioids or GHB, another club drug, led to the most health problems, some of them life-threatening.12

Long-term, heavy ketamine use is associated with memory problems, depression, and anxiety.13 At high doses, ketamine may cause psychosis, a mental illness that causes a person to lose touch with reality. Frequent recreational ketamine use can lead to delusions that can last to up to one month after a person stops using it.14

Long-term use of ketamine may cause gastrointestinal problems, including abdominal pain sometimes called k-cramps5. Ketamine use can also cause ketamine-induced uropathy, a treatable but potentially serious condition that causes symptoms like those of a urinary tract infection.15,16

From NIDA.

Man someone should introduce him to whippets

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 16 points 4 hours ago

Depressed you say? Go on Elon, follow your leader.

[–] Sgarcnl@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Burn that shit down

[–] Stormy1701@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

No shit Sherlock.

[–] BookSnob@lemmy.ca 20 points 5 hours ago

Maybe he ought to do himself and us a favour and just… delete himself.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 55 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

ive been living with a combination of drugs depression and stress for most of my life and im not a megalomaniac asshole billionaire hellbent on destroying the country...

[–] Naz@sh.itjust.works 20 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah that's the key takeaway.

A billion dollars turns you into some kind of Duke, or Landed Noble.

Where you can like.. buy a small army, take over a country, that sort of thing.

Billionaires shouldn't exist.

A study on this led to one of my most amusing facts; that npr accidentally radicalized me as an anarchist by introducing me to this concept

[–] BigPotato@lemmy.world 13 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

But if you had money, you might just be.

[–] DogEarBookmark@reddthat.com 10 points 7 hours ago

Broke ass cant even destroy the world with his depression

/s

A mad king you say...

American media is 50% terrified of criticizing him and losing access, and 50% complicit.

[–] demizerone@lemmy.world 11 points 7 hours ago

Homeboys scams are coming to an end and those will destroy him, so he is trying to destroy America instead and has found useful greedy idiots to help.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 points 7 hours ago

I must imagine it is quite stressful to be the single most hated person on the planet. Then again, I think that would be easy to remedy by simply not being a fascist fuckwit.

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 21 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Cool, i hope he has a painful and debilitating aneurysm during a live interview in the Oval.

[–] AHamSandwich@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago

Stop, my penis can only get so erect.

[–] EaterOfLentils@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

Only if he also soils himself.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmings.world 26 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Hopefully he offs himself before his DOGE takes full control of a nuclear silo.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 12 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

He’ll be replaced by another billionaire, with their own agenda.

[–] PNWKid@lemm.ee 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

That’s probably true but it would still be semi cathartic to see Musk off himself

[–] uienia@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Like any megalomanic narcissist he is not going to off himself before having taken as many people with him as possible.
