I’m glad almost no one calls him a genius anymore.
Believe what you see, not what you’re told

Only the same people who call Trump a genius do now.
random_character_a@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Just guessing that both geniuses sniff the same stuff. They seem to get same kind of shitfits.
knightmare1147@lemmy.world 11 months ago
My parents still do. They can’t fathom that a billionaire could be anything but a genius to aspire towards.
Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 11 months ago
He tried really hard to be called the “real life Tony Stark” and he was successful until, idk, he fired his publicist? Whoever that was did a hell of a job making this moron look smart
GrundlButter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
I bet that publicist quit the day he called the diver who rescued those kids in Thailand a “pedo guy”. That or he just got really lucky without a publicist for a long time until his opinions started being more important than his image or success.

If he didn’t have an unfiltered public forum, people would probably still think that he is some eccentric genius.

Remember, this is why your party needs the Bard. It’s not because of the Lute. ;)

Almost no one in your bubble/perception unfortunately. There are still lots of people that are only aware of him being a POS but still think he’s a genius.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 11 months ago
He’s clearly smart. That’s because he has a lot of money. Only smart people have money and the more money you have the more smarter you get.

I guess I don’t have to believe in gasses or vacuums. I can’t see them. They’re not real.
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
And fucking magnets. How do they work?
rockerface@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I mean, you never had to believe in gasses or vacuum. They’re real, so they don’t depend on your belief or lack thereof.

For some reason I read glasses and in my mind I was: “Well I usually don’t notice when I wear my glasses so it does makes sense…”
Maybe I need new ones…Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I read this as grasses and vacuums as in vacuum cleaners at first and was like ???

This is why they fly around in jets and buy super yatchs. Can go around looking like a poorr.

Like when he said that the CyberTruck beat a Porche 911 in a quarter mile whilst towing a Porche 911, but Engineering Explained did the math and called BS. Then backed up the math by actually doing the quarter mile to prove it.

It’s Porsche. Sorry to be that guy but that bothers me.
dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
No I’m happy to be corrected. I actually don’t know what’s come over me as a pedant myself m, I should be ashamed.
Somethingcheezie@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I read that a few times…is he saying Porsches break down a lot so ya the truck would win. But then I noticed the spellings. So ya a cyber truck would beat a Porche, they’re cheap knock offs of Porsches

Silly human. You used earthling mathematics. On Mars (where Lonnie is from), physics works a different way. See? Lonnie is the genius all his sycophants say he is.

watermarking a tweet in response to a tweet, neither of which are yours, is crazy
(i get it’s probably not you OP, ur good)
shasta@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I don’t see a watermark
todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 11 months ago
This is actually good advice in some regards. Go out and prove that what you have been told is true. Don’t rely entirely on others to understand the world around you, rely on yourself and think critically about what you believe.
Of course, Conservatives like Musk and his followers are incapable of this. They will watch TV and browse social media and believe everything they are told if it suits them. They’ll then insist they “did their own research”, which really just translates to finding an echo chamber to seek validating from others on what they already believe.
madcaesar@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The better approach is to go out and try to disapprove the things you believe. That’s how science works, and that’s what will get you to the truth.
InvaderDJ@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That is what is frustrating. He doesn’t really mean what you “see”. He means go with your gut/surface level feelings and understanding. If you “see” something that goes against what you see or what you feel without any specialized knowledge on the subject, go with your priors.
RidderSport@feddit.de 11 months ago
I wouldn’t call Musk a conservative per se, he like is buddy Thiel is a Libertarian - which doesn’t make his any better.

Is seeing is, explicitly, believing, then we need to talk about magicians.

Nevermind magicians. What about Photoshop?

Do I think Elon is a genius? Not really, but I do know he just uses Twitter to troll people and look like an idiot on purpose.

Once a cobra bit elon’s leg. After five days of excruciating pain, the cobra died of burnout.

If Elon buys out your company, it will be so successful that your revenue rolls over and you actually lose money.
hessenjunge@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
I thought Elon is what you get when ordering Tony Stark from Wish but this is better.

Salutations Lemmy, sorry for the intrusion but I’m here to advertise my course on how to pick up the ladies. I used to be an incel, then using this knowledge I scored a blazing hot 10/10 Asian girl, lasted for about 7 years until we went through a divorce after I found her sleeping with 2 black guys & filming it when I got home from work and ended up taking the kids, simply put I don’t want that to happen to anyone else, SK I offer a LTO discount on it, DM for more information fellow sigma brothers
