Fat and old with enough money to keep it all together, but not enough self awareness to keep it together well.
GladiusB@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s like calling him a loser with extra steps
tryitout@infosec.pub 1 year ago
He spent a bunch of dough on that hair. I believe he is likely aware of his appearance. He is pale and overweight because he spends a bunch of time playing video games, being a nazi in his failing social media site, and (based on this picture) eating french fries.
Maybe at some point his vanity will compel him to get liposuction or just go full orange man with spray tan and wear baggy suits with ties that are too long. I don’t see him being like Bezos or Zuck and getting into shape.

Becoming The Sad Blob: the Elon musk story
Theharpyeagle@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Meh, Musk has plenty of shitty qualities that deserve criticism, we don’t really need to pick on his appearance.
Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com 1 year ago
I hate the photoshopped photos of those “celebrities” in the news.
I mean splash one of the Elon news on this photo mother fuckers!
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
He’s a successful scammer, for sure, but at the end of the day still a scammer who got fired for incompetence and then got lucky.
PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 1 year ago
A scammer who is the CEO of 2 of the most valuable companies in the US…
IHadTwoCows@lemm.ee 1 year ago
“most valuable companies” lol
IHadTwoCows@lemm.ee 1 year ago
That’s how scammers work, yes …
Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
A scammer who used his money he made through scamming to become CEO, and then to scam even more:
-
Scams his employees by paying too little or not at all
-
Scams his money lenders by breaking their investment
-
Scams his customers by asking premium prices for underperforming products
-
Scams governments out of funding
-
Scams new tech startups by suing them in order to be called a founder
-
Scams every person in every country his companies operate in by not paying the taxes he is owed

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Are you going to tell us next that cigarette companies didn’t scam the public when they knew that their products caused cancer and didn’t reveal it because Phillip-Morris was so valuable?
How about Theranos? At peak it was worth $9 billion. Not a scam, right?
Resol@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I think you meant “least valuable”, because they’re garbage.
I want downvotes too, you know.

NASA already exists. Feed and house the poor instead, save the planet from greenhouse gases, help create new expensive policies to curb addiction and homelessness. Anything except literally burning money into our atmosphere. What the fuck are landing pads and propulsion guidance systems going to do for the entire planet.

dojan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Like, I don’t know enough about this BS to argue, so I’m just going to believe what you’re saying, but what’s the point?
NASA put people on the moon 54 years ago. Musk has said he’d do it several times now, but he’s not there yet.
He’s also said that he’ll make space travel super cheap, yet his launches cost more than the Russian Soyuz ones used to.
They’ve gotten nowhere near the moon, and Russia does launches cheaper with their WWII tech than Musk does with his cutting edge stuff. So to me it just looks like they’re burning money for funsies.
SupraMario@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No it’s not…not at all…
marspedia.org/Financial_effort_estimation
Falcon is very successful. On top of that it allows the US and EU to stop providing money to RU for it’s war crimes
Space travel is needed, right now we’re just on big rock away from being a short timeline in the history of the world.
One reason SpaceX is so successful is because of the red tape that’s been removed that NASA had to deal with, getting to the moon isn’t the end goal, it’s just a platform to use as a layover for other travel.

Hot staging didn’t hot stage, flight termination failed again, it didn’t reach its target altitude, a bunch of engines flamed out unexpectedly again.
That’s not a success. Not exploding on the pad doesn’t make it a success. Stop believing the YouTube simps.

Poor Elon trying to tech-bro his way into social dominance by buying social media platform.
And to think that only ~6 years ago people saw him as a progressive visionary.
There is the lesson people. Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought of as an idiot than to open it and remove all doubt.
HerrLewakaas@feddit.de 1 year ago
I think he feels miserable. No happy person behaves this way
CryptidBestiary@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I think that lesson definitely applies to us average folks. But the bigger lesson here is to not trust billionaires. You would have to be a special kind of asshole to reach the status of a billionaire
Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de 1 year ago
That said, he’s probably still richer than everyone else here.
soggy_kitty@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
“probably”, you mean definitely.
pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I mean most likely, but I haven’t checked my bank balance in a while so can’t be 100% certain
IHadTwoCows@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Why does that matter at all? If anything it shows that wealth has nothing to do with competence
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
True, but it can buy a lot of people to tell you how smart and wonderful and handsome you are so you can pretend all that bad stuff never happened.
the_q@lemmy.world 1 year ago
He’s still a piece of garbage regardless of his ill-gotten gains.
Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
A lot of people could get rich if they lost their morals.
Good thing they don’t though, or the world would be even more shitty.
AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 1 year ago
still one of the richest people in the world I think
LavaPlanet@lemmy.world 1 year ago
$50 bucks says, he still never feels like it’s enough.

He’s got the money where he can be lazy and still fix his health. Hire a personal chef and dietician. A personal trainer and a gym. Take a minute and get a stylist.
You’re a billionaire for goodness sake. Buy a top hat!
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 year ago
He’s got the money where he can be lazy and still fix his health. Hire a personal chef and dietician. A personal trainer and a gym. Take a minute and get a stylist.
And yet he still looks the way he does.
constantokra@lemmy.one 1 year ago
Imagine how bad he’d look if he wasn’t.
explodicle@local106.com 1 year ago
This must be after all that stuff. Without the billions, he’d look like the stereotypical basement neckbeard.
Fades@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You seriously think he has it in him to work hard on himself (or anything for that matter)??
No shot, instead he would use that money for shit like ozempic, lap band or lipo surgery, etc.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
He used Ozempic. He is much thinner now. But I’m sure his health is awful.
CitizenKong@lemmy.world 1 year ago
He also looks like a middle-aged woman after her menopause.
Kylah@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I call it “Honkey-Tech Blues”
rayyy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I was going with Elon Blues
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s not actually a country song, but I think maybe someone should blow Elon’s nose and then blow his mind. A massive brain aneurism would only benefit the world.

The rocket was meant to crash, so I don’t think he’s that upset about it.
Diplomjodler@feddit.de 1 year ago
I really wish people would stop going on about that. There are plenty of things you can legitimately criticize Musk for. The Starship program is not one of those.
Zetta@mander.xyz 1 year ago
Yea it’s really infuriating. I am a huge space fan in general, and when I see people making negative comments about starship blowing up it just frames them as unintelligent or unaware of how effective spacexs engineering processes are.
Build, fail, repeat. All of those steps are on purpose.

Courtesy of ChatGPT: (Verse 1) Well, gather 'round, folks, let me spin you a tale, 'Bout a man named Elon, set to set sail. Started with Tesla, electric dreams in his hand, But life threw a curveball, didn’t go as planned.
Married to a queen, but the castle came down, Divorce papers flying all over the town. Custody battle, like a wild, wild west show, But Elon’s still standing, ain’t ready to go.
(Chorus) He lost his love, his rockets crashed in space, Forty billion dollars, it’s a hard-earned case. But Elon keeps on smiling, though the world’s gone astray, In the face of chaos, he just shouts, “Hey, hooray!”
(Verse 2) Lost a rocket or two, in the great cosmic sea, But Elon’s got Starship, just you wait and see. A flamethrower in hand, and a grin on his face, Says, “Life’s just a journey, let’s enjoy the race.”
Ex-wife took a Tesla, but he’s got the Cybertruck, Lost some billions, but he don’t give a…buck. In the game of life, he’s still rolling the dice, Laughing in the wind, like a cowboy in the night.
(Chorus) He lost his love, his rockets crashed in space, Forty billion dollars, it’s a hard-earned case. But Elon keeps on smiling, though the world’s gone astray, In the face of chaos, he just shouts, “Hey, hooray!”
(Bridge) Now the world may say, “Elon, what’s your deal?” But he’s launching rockets, making electric cars real. Mars is calling, and he’s reaching for the stars, In the face of setbacks, he’s trading scars for memoirs.
(Verse 3) So here’s to Elon, in this country song tale, Fighting through storms, like a ship with no sail. Life may be crazy, but he’s dancing in the rain, Saying, “I’ll build a new rocket, and I’ll try it again.”
(Chorus) He lost his love, his rockets crashed in space, Forty billion dollars, it’s a hard-earned case. But Elon keeps on smiling, though the world’s gone astray, In the face of chaos, he just shouts, “Hey, hooray!”
(Outro) So raise a glass, to the man with the plan, In this country ballad, where the dust meets the sand. Elon’s still riding, on that electric highway, Laughing at the odds, shouting, “Hey, hooray!”
SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Did he start with family money that he invested in PayPal then fell upwards to Telsa?
AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 1 year ago
He got most of paypal by default early on as his product (the original X) merged with theirs, and then was kicked out (but retained a lot of stock) after doing a bad job at management.

Alone on this planet,
I have no one to man it,I can’t drink beer,
At least the alt-right doesn’t fear me,
I’m alone on Earth,
I can’t work on my girth,Why don’t people like me,
I’m not a banshee,
I’m an alien,
Definitely not a mammalian (ew),My family loathes me, I don’t know why,
I give them clothes from me,
Maybe because I’m a blowfly,I wish I could cry,
I want to go back to my home,
Good bye Earth,

ToeNailClippings@lemmy.world 1 year ago
He could do with losing a few more pounds.
Around the equator.
JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
He’d be pretty happy about the space ship blowing up though. If it had crashed into the launch pad or something on takeoff, then it would definitely count.
TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 1 year ago

BB69@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Dude hasn’t been married since 2016 and still sees his kids, what are you talking about?
Find real reasons to criticize somebody. Better yet, ignore him and make him go away. These posts posts are worse than the dick rider posts.
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 1 year ago
wow is that really a recent picture of him? I thought he was on Ozempic that miracle starvation drug.
someguy7734206@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Why is it that I have always pictured him looking fitter than this?
netwren@lemmy.world 1 year ago
We have to stop identifying ownership with these billionaires and “their work” because it’s not. It’s a team of people who got together to accomplish a mission whether they succeeded or failed. How often is their success just a leader getting out of their way, and how often is failure because leadership was overbearing and “used their authority” to make poor decisions over the group.
“We” society only ever focus on these individuals and it’s horribly incorrect to do so.
We need to forget the celebrities and identity the groups.
gizmonicus@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Absolutely. As someone who manages a small team, my duties are advocating for the people who work for me, listening to the people closest to the problem, mediating disputes between people with different solutions, and ensuring we are all working towards the same overall goals. Most of the success of the team is directly attributed to their work. My biggest contribution is making sure they have what they need to do their job.
uphillbothways@kbin.social 1 year ago
So, since you're support staff and economically a cost center and not a producer, they make more than you, right? You advocate for their wages first, right?
captain_oni@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Hey, if these guys do everything they can to make sure their companies’ “achievements” are considered all their own doing; let’s be fair and attribute all the fault of their failures as well.
But you’re right, billionaires ride on the shoulders of the people that do the actual hard work.
paddirn@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Anytime management gets involved with our work, it’s because there was a monumental fuck-up or because somebody is doing too much micro-management. In either case, it’s 100x stressful as a normal project that goes slow as shit because everything has to be run by the big person.
