He then called the DOGE work necessary but said that “working for the government to get the financial house in order is mostly done.”
“I think starting probably next month in May, my time allocation to those will drop significantly,” he said.
He added that he expected to keep working for the government one or two days a week for the remainder of President Donald Trump’s presidency to “make sure that the waste and fraud that we stopped does not come roaring back.” DOGE has not yet proved the fraud it alleges.
Quoting myself:
This useless Apartheid Andy steps into a government position and immediately sets the collapse of the American empire into overdrive. His sheer oafishness causes a 71% drop in perhaps the most overvalued company of all time. And when push comes just within vague proximity of shove, he immediately quits.
I know there is no such thing as meritocracy but Musk is so awful at everything he does, so horrendously incompetent, there are so many ghouls with rich parents who are just as sociopathic but way smarter and more persistent than him, how did this absolute fucking idiot become the richest man in the world?
Donald Trump is funny. Peter Thiel doesn’t embarrass himself on stage every week. Asmongold knows how to play Path of Exile. Adolf Hitler was a good public speaker. Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t crumble at the slightest bit of pushback. JD Vance can laugh at a joke about himself. Elon Musk fails at all of these aspects while sucking just as hard in every other way.
And then, somehow this unbelievable loser is a sex pest who pressures women to have his kids but doesn’t even get laid in the process. Oh, you got this attractive 25-year-old right-wing grifter chick pregnant… but you didn’t have sex with her? If he was paying these hot women to let him knock them up the natural way he’d still be a gross creep, but my primitive male brain would be able to relate on some level. But no, he’s paying them exclusively so he can mail them his fucking sperm and become a deadbeat dad to another abandoned child.
Why is he like this? What the fuck is wrong with this man? All the other tech oligarchs have some level of competence, how is Musk so horrendously awful, pathetic, weak, obnoxious, useless and despicable in every conceivable way? How is this wannabe-hitlerian boer the richest man in the world?
Amazing post. Don’t forget how he clings to stale memes that haven’t been funny (if they ever were) for over a decade. You don’t see Trump posting Pepe like it’s 2016 anymore yet Musk is convinced doge is the height of humor and the letter x is still as epic as it was when he was 10 years old
It’s the system. Only capitalism can make someone like
the richest man in the world. I don’t believe a true meritocracy can exist, but I believe we live in the opposite of one.
He has constantly made false promises for the last 15 years and yet people (with money) still trust him
robotaxis just a week away
this goes hard
It is a meritocracy but the skill that gets rewarded is scamming people
To add on to this, the punishments for impropriety do not scale with wealth. What is devastating for regular folks is nothing to the rich. Like parking tickets in Manhattan, when “punishments” become the cost of doing business then there is no real barrier to this behavior once you cross the threshold.
great post but lol no he doesn’t. <3
isn’t that because his penile implant fucking exploded and destroyed his penis?
Please please tell me this claim has at least a grain of substance
At one point he was just the typical tech oligarch failson who was sort of just quietly awful behind the scenes while collecting accolades for other people’s work and getting fluffed up by credulous tech “journalists”. He managed to grift some successful contracts using that publicity and his PR team leveraged it into more and more bullshit hype for businesses he owned and he just failed upwards over and over.
Even after he had a midlife crisis and started just doing lots of drugs and showing his whole ass on twitter all day every day he still had all that inertia and machinery of hype and graft behind him to feed him more and more wealth and power despite anything he actually did. He had to actively piss off enough people that that system started clogging and breaking down to even suffer the most mild of consequences. Hopefully it keeps going and everything he had and has falls apart so he can’t just go back to a quietly parasitic existence like most other tech oligarchs.
Still loling at the fact that libs ever liked this guy.
This should forever be held against them. This and all those other altruistic enlightenment I seen libs on ERA argue why the effective altruism is the bomb and then they turned into ghoulish tech oligarchs of the dark enlightenment variety. They said it with chest now look at em
I remember arguing till like red in the face how much musk sucks to a couple of my lib friends in like 2019. I bring it up now and they have no idea what I’m talking about
This is their response every time they get called out for having been on the wrong side of history.
For me it was some dudes saying “well hes a billionaire and you’re not. You saying you know more about x than him?” Lol guess I should take Steve jobs cancer treatment advice. Hes a billionaire after all
Hi. What’s “ERA”?
Resetera forum
Proof that we’re in a farce
The richest human on Earth currently is the one devoid of ANY positive traits
Distilled loser through and through
If he hadn’t been born into a rich family no one would have heard about him outside of whatever town he lived in.
The wealthy and powerful do not achieve that status through any special trait that makes them superior. They are just as boring and fucked up as everyone else but they have to seem better or the illusion of meritocracy falls apart and people start to wonder why these people have been elevated above them. So they shaped society so that being aggressively mediocre or even downright incompetent is no hindrance to maintaining your family’s dynastic hold in wealth and power.
As a side effect the various compensatory mechanisms they constructed to paper over their numerous flaws all worked together to elevate the worlds worst piece of barely sentient shit to the peak of wealth and power.
It’s amazing how successful the grift has been. Robotaxis? Sure, it’s Elon. Autonomous humanoid robots? Elon’s a visionary, he’ll get 'em done. Massive amounts of money get flung his way on the flimsiest of claims. Apparently believing that capitalism is an efficient system for allocating productive resources to meeting the public’s needs primes you for many other chimeras.
GOOD post comrade
