    I’m just gonna say let’s call a spade a fucking spade. Especially if there were two spades done in succession based on the reaction of the first spade.

    If we’re calling a spade a spade, Elon is a flush.

        With an ego so fragile, he’s like a glass card when you have “Oops! All Sixes”

            I wasn’t sure if they stack since I never had it and IIRC blueprint doesn’t work on it

              They do. Iirc, there’s a challenge where each of your cards is glass and you have 2 indestructible all 6s 😄

    Ok, probably thought about this too much but here goes:

    The reason Musk is obsessed with plausible deniability and things like faking his scores is because he believes he is some kind of trickster god who you can never prove one way or another since he keeps his personal life fairly private (other than all the fucking xeets and children).

    So, he’s giggling behind the scenes going “Ha ha you can’t prove it!” even though anyone with a fucking brain knows what’s going on, and what’s sad, is he think that makes himself clever. What’s even worse is it seems he enjoys knowing people know but can’t prove it so he can keep dangling it saying “ha ha I dictate reality what are you gonna do about it.”

    It’s fucking childish insanity.

    Vivian is a thousand times the person this dork could ever be, and she did a better job than I did of expressing how easy and dumb and not-clever it is to hide behind “plausible deniability” when you’re basically screaming your violent tendencies out loud for all to hear.

      Remember also that he believes he lives in a simulation. And people like him believe that because they think they’re the only one being simulated and everyone else is an NPC.

          It’s worse than narcissism in my opinion. It’s not even “I am the most important person,” it’s “I am the only person and the rest of you are realistic automata.”
