I know it sucks because we’re living through it but it is scientifically interesting to see a billionaire devote all his money and thousands of employees and the entire governmental power of the United States to make his posts good and still not manage to do it - ThreadSky

As in all things money can only get you so far. I just wish it did sate his bottomless need for attention so we could all stop hearing from him

If ability to post were determinable in utero Elon would have been aborted

the cybertruck is just mangosteen on a much larger scale

hunterfelt.bsky.social•88 days ago

I can think of one page from the Lowtax playbook that he could borrow.

aatrek and tokaii got brought on as part of Trump's cabinet.

It just goes to show you that you can't buy charisma.

dangyd.bsky.social•89 days ago

I’m finding myself sympathizing with
Americans living through the turn of the century who, I can only assume, thought Henry Ford was a deranged shithead loser.

bonstrous.bsky.social•89 days ago

can you IMAGINE being in the know about Thomas Edison DURING that time? ugh

jginsburg.bsky.social•88 days ago

It's like we're all living in that hellhole he created in Brazil to be his factory town, only we can't escape into the jungle and the sweet embrace of death

Oh man, the Dearborn Independent was proto-Twitter, wasn’t it.

hambrother.bsky.social•89 days ago

There is something Mythological about it. It's like a King Midas situation.

mcnary.bsky.social•89 days ago

The Sadim Touch

xarthras.bsky.social•89 days ago

King Midas, but somehow also Wile E Coyote.

homunculusdick.bsky.social•88 days ago

People quit or got fired bc they couldn't make that assholes posts good. Hilarity.

Can you imagine being the richest person in the world and being at the forefront of self-driving electric cars and rockets to mars and still be seen as a total dork.

bazza2112.bsky.social•88 days ago

"...being at the forefront of self-driving electric cars and rockets to mars..."

bratwizard.bsky.social•89 days ago

biggest loser in the history of the world, and it's not even close

wonkish.bsky.social•85 days ago

It would have been *so* much cheaper to just spend a single billion to just hire @dril.bsky.social to write his posts.

readman.bsky.social•89 days ago

Bro will never be a poster

mcnietzsche.bsky.social•88 days ago

Not just not make his own posts good but like be completely unable to recognize what a good post even is!! The memes he steals from his sycophants are, generously, 99.9% fucking nonsense gibberish

mcnary.bsky.social•89 days ago

The Manhattan Project for stale memes

themidnightoil.bsky.social•88 days ago

Can't post good by committee. You either got the juice or you don't.

Elon don't.

xanlopez.xyz•88 days ago

I think a core constituency of fascism is mediocre people who deep down know they are mediocre and will never be able to get out of their mediocrity, and who eventually decide the only solution is to brute force recognition through pure brutality.

noteom.bsky.social•88 days ago

how did this dude hire the world's best diablo player but not the world's best poster?

johna.org•88 days ago

Honestly, @dieworkwear.bsky.social has said he doesn't accept paid sponsorships, so...

nwgarcia.bsky.social•89 days ago

Some empires tried to hire dissatisfied ronin. Some empires tried to raise their own samurai. They all failed, because only the specific cultural milieu of feudal Japan could produce these warriors. Elon is making the same mistake with posters.

jwatte.bsky.social•88 days ago

Have you considered that the value function he's trying to maximize might not be ours?

erikkennedy.com•89 days ago

It's like if the Manhattan Project had been a failure.

deathshead419.bsky.social•89 days ago

It's heartening to know that money can't buy posting skills.

adrianswalker.bsky.social•88 days ago

I feel like there have been many parallels in history with royals or lords just completely losing their shit like this.

Both makes it interesting and makes it suck a little less.

jefffowler.bsky.social•86 days ago

Has anyone sent all the King's horses and men?

nilbog3000.bsky.social•88 days ago

It’s like the Apollo program but every rocket fell over on the launch pad before they even lit it

The platonic ideal of Poster’s Madness

disnothus.bsky.social•89 days ago

The form of postes

If Poster’s Madness had a JRPG style villain.

starseed14.bsky.social•89 days ago

No amount of money can make Musk or Trump Human, they are true Savages from the Hate they foment.

starseed14.bsky.social•87 days ago

They are the most inept monkeys alive.
