Such an obvious lie. How does anyone fall for this?

Pretends to be a good PoE player, now tries to sound smart with what I assume is a chess reference. Poser.

nicholasgrossman.bsky.social•6 days ago

I read it as a reference to chess and/or military strategy without understanding it. He knows the phrase is associated with something smart, but apparently doesn’t know why.

I now understand why he plays Polytopia rather than chess.

1) guessing Musk doesn't ever play chess and 2) why does every word out of his mouth sounds like really bad, melodramatic AI?

See every cult documentary ever made.

How much is $20 million to him though. He wanted to win, but that’s not money for him. It would be multi-generational change money for regular folk. For Elon, it’s a trickle

nicholasgrossman.bsky.social•6 days ago

Like many rich people, he’s pretty miserly, and gets publicly upset about losing any even while he has more than anyone else (see also: reaction to Tesla stock price decline).

Either way, he did not spend the money aiming to lose.

I hope each penny feels like the burning pain of 20 million suns

He's a master tactician.

Because they don't want to believe they themselves and he are that damned stupid.

A lack of fear of looking stupid, including the blatant lies they tell in public to rationalize their failures.

Trump's lies are obvious too and he won a presidential election

Positional gain?

He's being kicked out of the White House and DOGE is being dismantled.

Where's the gain?

Same way people fall for the “Elon personally set up a data center in 19 days when it would take other companies 4 years” story, right?

Or, I dunno, “Jesus turned water into wine.”
