And then proceed to defame the diver (who helped save kids) that said it was worthless by calling him a pedophile. Elon bros really swept that under the rug.

Is he still doing this stuff to make people forget he offered his masseuse a horse to jerk him off on his airplane, she denied, leading to a $250k payoff to keep her quiet?

You’re a billionaire, next time just bring an escort AND a masseuse.

u/SassTheFash 1d ago

Ikr? With that kind of money you can just tell an underling “find me the objectively most talented blowjobist in Amsterdam and pay her to follow me around all month and drop to her knees the second I glance at her. And next month find me the tightest vajayjay in Berlin who’s willing to be duct-taped to my mattress for all of April.”

But this is another example of “it’s not about sex, it’s about power.” It’s not enough to pay someone to sex you up, it’s about having enough wealth to demand sexual favors of anyone who wanders into your field of view.

That's literally it. It's all about power because there's nothing else to accomplish. When you have everything you could possibly want. You eventually wander in to the world of things you can't just buy. You need to get that itch. And that's what that creepy fat fuck does.

You can find anything you want in Amsterdam.

Buddy of mine on an Amsterdam trip declared "I want a blowjob and a haircut." Okay. "No, I mean at the same time."

I never asked because I didn't really want to know, but he did show up later that afternoon with the worst fucking haircut I've ever seen.

u/Klokinator 1d ago

the tightest vajayjay in Berlin who’s willing to be duct-taped

But that's the thing. They don't want 'willing'. When you're that rich, women throw themselves at you. It's no fun. They want a challenge. They want unwilling participants. And even if the participants are unwilling, so what? Billionaires exist in the first tier of justice while poors exist in the fifth.

u/pmw3505 1d ago

It’s about power, he wanted to exert what he thought was power over her thinking she wouldn’t refuse and she did. It’s less about the handjob and more about the control over people.

Also why the fuck would someone want a horse? Especially if they live in a city. Wtf you gonna do with that? Spend a ton of money to move into rural area so you can pay to have a stable or barn built and then have to commute to work today on top of all the new horse related costs? That’s a gift that costs you more than you get from it lmao

u/TheStarkfish 1d ago

That's called sex trafficking. It's one of the few crimes that is still frowned upon in billionaire circles. I'm sure they're all doing it, but it's a gamble: do you end up getting away with it like Gaetz or going down for it like Diddy?

u/SassTheFash 1d ago

Musk can also literally fly to an area with licensed sex workers the moment he feels horny.

It's about power though. He wants to be able to flaunt his wealth, to get a woman to do something she doesn't want to do, to control her.

It's not about sex. It's about power.

u/Bulky_Mix_2265 1d ago

It's about making someone who doesn't want to do something do it with money. You can see this attitude in all his actions, buying twitter was just a variation on here is a horse, now jerk me off.

u/lipguy123 1d ago

You’re a billionaire, next time just bring an escort AND a masseuse.

He doesn't want to fuck sex workers, he wants to pluck out "reproducitvely viable" and seemingly "intelligent" employees to breed, preferably with low body count... hence why his daughter rightly called him a womanizer and vile incel.

12

u/Glittering_Moist 1d ago

But that's no fun, seriously I've watched rich fucks use money to test a woman's metal in front of her bf, it's about power.

u/Zeno_The_Alien 1d ago

And a horse.

EDIT - Just want to add that the proposition was never about being jerked off. It was about getting someone to do something they didn't want to do.

Hell, he's rich enough he could bring a horse as well.

u/abbyabsinthe 1d ago edited 11h ago

He's a rich kid who never grew up. He's a 12 year edgelord in a 50 year old man's flabby body, and he has enough money to do literally whatever the hell he wants, unchecked, and he has an army of Dunning-Kreuger victim frat boys who suck him off every time he speaks. He has no moral compass, and doesn't really have any one to tether him back to Earth (dunno if sociopath or brain damaged from drugs, or just rotten from being filthy rich). He wants to be the most powerful man in the world, and instead of using that money to achieve good, he'd rather do shit just for the sake of doing shit.

I just hope he over measures the amount of ketamine he's taking and soon.

Edit: I made a typo in the midst of calling others stupid. I hang my head in shame.

Come on now, chin up. He's flabby and lazy, no shot that's a healthy gym bro. Guy might have a coronary or something, we might be lucky yet. Gotta hold onto hope.

u/Prompt-Initial 1d ago

I've always imagined his eventual demise will involve some critical malfunction while inside one of his rockets. That, or getting accidentally locked inside his own nuclear bunker and starving to death. 🤔

Billionaires do love their rockets and doomsday scenarios.

u/Keated 1d ago

We could get someone to take one for the team and do something more dangerous with him. Given he's basically an edgy teen all you'd need to do is imply he's a puss if he doesn't amd he'd feel the need to do double

u/clarysfairchilds 1d ago

honestly, while I think he settles for being disliked, his #1 dream in life is to be the funny cool popular guy, and he tries SO HARD that he just ends up looking ridiculous. so now he's doing the same thing as trump, which is saying all publicity is good publicity and just trying to stay in everyone's heads rent-free regardless of whether they love him or hate him.

“C’mon, Strider. Bite gently.”

u/Fake_William_Shatner 1d ago

These people are so lame. It's like their ONLY super power is money and they all think they are Batman.

Trump had to threaten Stormy to lose a spot on his show. Almost loses his shot with a paid porn star by saying smoothly, "You remind me of my daughter."

It makes me feel a bit better about myself, actually. So I appreciate that Trump and Musk keep winning through no skill but are miserable.

Nope. He asked for a handy, she said no. He offered a horse, she said no. $250k ensued.

The same people that idolize Trump, also idolize Elon. The same question could be asked why people didn’t turn on Trump when he mocked the disabled. It’s because birds of a feather. That’s why.

89

u/LivingIndependence 1d ago

Also because they idolize anyone with the net worth of a small country. No matter how they acquired it. Money is the only thing that matters in life to these people.

u/Alternative_Gold_993 1d ago

Have literally seen people justify tax evasion and fraud as a power move. They think crime is a-ok as long as a rich person does it, because to them being rich must mean you are smart.

u/etherdesign 1d ago edited 1d ago

Yeah, I don't know where people ever got that idea that hard work or smarts make people rich. I guess it's drilled into them at school just like all of the other bullshit. Most of these people have had their money handed to them and I can't think of more worthless people on the planet than people who have never had to work a day in their lives. That includes all these fucking hacks that are pundits, that's not a job.

u/ProfessorCrackhead 1d ago

A lot of them also believe in the prosperity gospel doctrine, so being rich isn't just a sign of intelligence to them, it's a sign of God's favor.

How else could you amass so much wealth unless you deserved it and God willed it?

7

u/BlaktimusPrime 1d ago

Cause you know…they “bring in jobs”

Like GTFOH.

5

u/GlobalWarminIsComing 1d ago

I think that's partially because tax is evasion is "sticking it to the stupid overreaching government". They hate the government so seeing someone get one over them is kinda fun.

Meanwhile regular thieves and drug use make you feel unsafe in the streets and hurt normal people. That's not fun.

4

u/T--Frex 1d ago

It's because people think tax loopholes, offshore havens, and evasion are all pre-existing little flaws in our system that these rich folks have discovered by sheer brilliance and thus their use of them justifies: a) their continued use because they deserve the money they save by finding the crafty tricks in the system that they work so hard for, and b) that they are so smart and deserve to be rich and idolized forever.

Little do people realize these loopholes and "flaws" were brute forced into the system by rich people lobbying and paying for them to exist. The order of operations actually goes:

  1. Be born rich/become rich on the labor or ideas of other people.
  2. Pay to manipulate the system in your favor to avoid taxes and make it difficult for others to accumulate wealth so your lobbying/campaign donation dollars aren't diluted by others.
  3. Continue to accumulate wealth on the backs of others.
  4. Teach your children to do the same.

2

u/WutUtalkingBoutWill 1d ago

It's not about money, it's about social media influence, that's all it boils down to, social media is what decides elections these days, and not just Americas, but we all know that's front and centre, doesn't matter either way.

The World is fucked for the next generation, my sons generation and the generation afterwards, fucked.

3

u/why0me 1d ago

Because for some reason they think, and I mean they really think that somehow Trump will make them rich too

They don't understand he's rich because he's exploited people like them his whole life

They don't understand rich people stay rich because they don't share

They believe in their tiny lil heart of hearts if Trump could get that rich they can.

I will never understand why that wasn't the end of it.

2

u/ForLark 1d ago

True. I did think of that too.

51

u/sluttytinkerbells 1d ago

Because most people don't really follow this kind of shit and Musk has been running an astroturf bot campaign promoting his brand for at least a decade now.

Those accounts posting "He's like a real life Tony Stark" aren't actually real people.

u/jollyreaper2112 1d ago

It would have fundamentally required him to be a different person because he can't shut up but yeah. That image was an easy sell because he was doing cool stuff and he looked like the one good billionaire. But his essential nature meant he couldn't maintain the illusion. He's a fucking asshole and terrible person who can't shut up.

But man, it was a convincing act for a while. I'd been burned enough to never idolize people but he was someone I was interested to hear from. I've had people I've admired as much and hated as much but never in the same person. He fell off for me so hard.

2

u/ForLark 1d ago

Agree!

Are you in the US? Because he still has the MAGA fans and the people who are still convinced he’s an inventor.

Really annoyed me he won the lawsuit on that, which basically boiled down to 'he deleted the tweets so that made it OK'. It wasn't a one-off tweet and he was clearly implying he really was one. He spent 50000 investigating him trying to find stuff to prove it.

Nono you see it wasn't defamation, it was a common South African insult, a judge said so. That's why it's fine to call Elon Musk a pedo.

Nah, that was the exact moment I and anyone else I knew went from, "hE's ThE rEaL lIfE tOnY sTaRk!" to, "Wow, he really kinda sucks actually."

Then shit on the people actually doing something like calling the one rescue dive a pedo. (Cave rescue divers are incredibly skilled —it’s one of the most dangerous types of rescue training) Then won the slander case against the diver because Elon is rich.

There was a show on Disney+ about that rescue. I've watched it multiple times. What those men managed to do was absolutely heroic. Worth multiple watches, trust me!

Edit it's called The Rescue

I too definitely recommend it. It’s crazy that the guys who did the rescue were cave/dive hobbyists! Military dive teams couldn’t do it. One of them actually had to be rescued by the hobbyists. Those boys were so lucky they were found. Fuck Elon.

THIS. There are films about the rescue and it’s insane what those kids went through and survived thanks to the diving hobbyists. If I remember correctly the rescuers themselves, the hobbyists, actually retired. They came out of retirement to save those kids and their teacher and a diver.

Thanks! I didn’t know about that documentary

It’s a really good watch, I recommend it.

There's a podcast called Against the odds who did a whole series on it. I like all their episodes but the thia cave is some of the first and super good.

Also really drives home how stupid the sub idea was. I didn't really understand the dimensions of the cave until I watched the doc. If human fucking beings have to take off their SCUBA packs and drag them to fit through certain stretches, ain't no fucking sub gonna work there

I suspect it was because his attorney was L Lin Wood. Yep, that Trump nutball attorney.

u/UnrulyCrow 1d ago

It was especially rich because that cave diver was a highly experienced man who was definitely the sort of person you'd want for such a rescue mission. Like bro dared shit on the most appropriate person to have on board, it says everything about him as a person.

He said calling people a pedo wasn't slander because "pedo" is it just the way South Africans call each other bad and it's not slander to call someone bad

u/situation9000 1d ago

Yeah I heard that excuse. I don’t know South African slang but if someone were to use the N word and try to say it’s just American slang for calling someone your homie, I don’t think people would be so forgiving.

Edit: Also how was this rescue diver “Bad”—because he told Musk his sub idea was stupid and wouldn’t work? Diver knew his job and was focused on saving the kids. Musk was an attention seeking toddler getting in the way of the people doing the actual work.

u/jon_hendry 1d ago

That excuse might work if he were Scottish and called someone a cunt.

u/situation9000 1d ago edited 1d ago

Or Australian. They love that word

Edit: why in the f is he calling this diver names anyway? Musk was out of line even sticking his nose in the business and getting in the way of people actually helping the kids.

His feelings were hurt because they said no to Phony Stark’s brilliant invention.

u/situation9000 1d ago

I believe they should have told him “f your feelings”

Oh yeah the excuse is laughable bad, I thought that went without saying

Elons child smuggling submarine isn't imaginary.

We should be concerned as to why someone who was friends with Epstein owns a child smuggling submarine though...

u/Zanna-K 1d ago

I mean, it was a real submarine. He actually had a bunch of engineers rig one up and send it to Thailand. The problem is that it wasn't useful and was a distraction from the rescue efforts. The dude thought he was literally Tony Stark and could have some little miracle device whipped up to save the day. He then threw a hissy fit when the actual experts on the ground who were actually executing the rescue efforts and had real knowledge of the situation told him that he was not helping.
