I did not see this published outside of India. But not sure why. It’s all based on Xitter.
He’s doing it too himself, fuck off.
No one asked him to be a co-nazi. No one asked him to take over Twitter. No one asked him to play make-believe auto maker. No one is asking for his fucking biography. He’s acting like everyone is pulling him in all these different directions, and no one wants him.
He is the world’s richest fucking man. Fuck him. He could have the best doctors/therapy/drugs in the world, could travel the world and “find himself,” maybe even do something worth writing about. But he chooses to be a completely waste of human flesh that will be nothing but a smear in history. That’s his legacy. A shit smear on an already shit covered era. He’s not helping anyone, not even his own kids, he is willfully putting his effort into being the biggest piece of shit.
Fuck him. Fuck his depression, fuck his addiction, fuck his stress, and fuck him. He’s ruining my country and wants pity because it’s stressing him out.
FUCK HIM
Also calling it stress is so fucking gross when normal people have to deal with soul crushing extisence of inadequate food, housing and life of wage slavery, and he’s just upset cause his world domination plans makes people say mean things to him.
Yeah. He could fuck off and never have to speak to another person or do anything he didn’t want to do if he wanted with just a tiny fraction of his wealth. He doesn’t have to be this way. He chose it. He’s like a child breaking things for attention.
Not saying he deserves pitty or anything, but depression doesn’t depend on outside things and events. He could do what you say and still be depressed. Have no problems in the world and still be depressed. Turn into a golden god of love and still be depressed. It’s in the brain.
So then fucking be depressed and leave the rest of us out of it. The fact that he’s making it everyone else’s problem is what makes him an asshole.
Agreed!
If he is actually afflicted with clinical depression he should be seeking out competent medical assistance for his condition.
Even in America, he should be able to afford that.

As a person who has had their fair share of “close calls,” I’m calling it out because he’s using it as an excuse and a reason for pity. I have severe depression. I do not go out of my way to make everyone else’s life worse because I have depression. My family does not allow me to make their lives harder because I have depression. I’m still responsible for my actions. So fuck his depression specifically. But o do get what you’re saying.
I agree. Depression is not an excuse. I was only correcting a point.
People show you who they really are when they can do anything they want. Elon is failing at it much worse than someone who sits on the couch and does weed all day.
I think it’s less about sympathy and more about understanding what lead him to this point.
You can analyze why a “normal” person did monstrous things without shedding a tear for them. One day someone will make “Zone of Interest” about billionaires living in their bunkers, cleaning air filters from human ash.
It’s not the most important reason by a long shot, but it’s yet another reason why extreme wealth hoarding, aka billionaires and centimillionaires, should have been taxed out of existence and legislated from existing going forward:
Even they aren’t happy, even sitting in the complete victory of their coup. They could have a dozen space station mansions each and they still wouldn’t be satiated or satisfied. They can’t be satisfied. That is their defining character deficit. Literally everybody loses so long as the avarice diseased capitalists remain in charge, even them. The intensity of their cringeworthy attempts at social media flexes betrays their intent and blasts us all with their screaming insecurities day in and day out.
They’re mentally ill with an obsession/compulsion related disorder that they’ve manipulated civilization into enabling at literally every possible expense, including mass human murder and seriously risking human extinction for short term private profit.
They should be in mental health facilities receiving inpatient treatment for their extremely destructive antisocial behaviors for both their and everyone else’s safety and wellbeing, too bad at least in the US they defunded mental healthcare into utter ruin (and education, and common infrastructure, etc) to cut their own taxes through their captured government.
The inmates are truly running
the asylumour society.I’ve read a load of academic articles on psychopaths recently. Narcissism is linked to all sorts of terrible behaviours, and cos they don’t accept they’re wrong, they don’t tend to change their behaviour even when they’re hurting themselves
I’m sure there are some that are happy but you never hear about them. A secure, well-adjusted individual with boat-loads of money doesn’t need to stir shit up. They can relax.
The insecure, maladjusted individuals will constantly be defending themselves against perceived threats despite having the means to offload all of that to paid professionals.
The best evidence of this is the creator of Tumblr. He sold it and got a payout of like a hundred million dollars or something and completely disappeared from public life. He only ever appears in the news when he makes some big donation to a charity.
That’s Tom, who has nothing to do with Tumblr.
Well said friend! I agree wholeheartedly.
A good way to think about it, how would society percieve them if they were hoarding anything else at this scale?
Imagine the guy having warehouses all over the world filled with toilet paper, private security around the compound, and campaign ads to reduce real estate taxes for storage units.
Or somebody having the largest lego collection in the world, constant buying out and threatening other collectors.
It’s a mental illness.
How could they be happy? It’s like a person that weighs a full ton feeling full. You don’t find yourself in that position if you can possibly feel sated.
Like honestly the man probably needs to commit himself to a Buddhist monetary or something where he can learn to humble himself, live with himself, and learn to be sated. Without drastic internal change he will live a life of misery
Thats why power and management of a country should be spread thin, to avoid that corruption from a single point to affect the life of many
Nailed it! Just like in nature and agriculture, monocultures are vulnerable. One disease can wipe out an entire population. Same principal can be applied to almost anything.
and farmers dependant on a single crop where its vulnerable to market/tariffs fluctations too.
That’s the exact thesis proposed in The Dictator’s Handbook by Bueno de Mesquita and Smith for making a government good for its constituents. Coalition size is THE most important feature.
The ancient Roman understood this simple concept, but it somehow goes over so many modern people’s heads.
Name someone more misunderstood historically than Brutus… The man was raised to know his family’s place was king killing and when his friend chose to try to be a king he did what was required
“going” is doing a lot of work here…
Going implies he’s not there yet and there is much worse to come.
OMG, Trump is already providing such an epic show, and Elon is clearly doing his part too. Are you saying that Elon could knock it up a notch? I thought 2020 was crazy, but apparently we aren’t even in full-on crazy mode yet. This is already proving to be a popcorn heavy season, but this could only be the teaser trailer?
🍿🍿🍿
popcorn is selling out all over the place, and leopards are obese now.
I don’t think 3 bags of popcorn is enough. Indeed 2020 was crazy, but the first 3 months of 2025 have been even crazier.
And yes Trump and Musk will most definitely both get worse.
But the trajectory for Musk is worse IMO, I commented about a year ago to my wife, that I wouldn’t be surprised if Musk ends up committed to a psychiatric hospital. Trump is bad too, not in the same way. But his dementia is getting worse.they are most toxic codependant couple, president elon, and AND personal assistant TRUMP.
Aah, the land of opportunities. If you’re a billionaire, you can do anything.
Can confirm. Three bags ran out so fast. We’re being showered with new twists and turns faster than you can count them.
Extremely heavy lift.
It’s quite clear he has been getting steadily worse over the years, so I don’t get the rationale of your comment.
ive been living with a combination of drugs depression and stress for most of my life and im not a megalomaniac asshole billionaire hellbent on destroying the country…
But if you had money, you might just be.
Broke ass cant even destroy the world with his depression
/s
I volunteer to test. Oh what a horrible and difficult thing I must do for science. Do you do direct deposit?
Given how this douche canoe acts, and the damage he’s done lately, I just hope he finds himself in a very slow, painful decline and maybe he’ll snap while in the oval office with first lady Trump.
Can we get a fast painful decline? Minimize how much harm he does to… everyone?
Honestly. I’d be happy with decline at 3200 feet per second from 400 yards.
deleted by creator
Truly the only therapy that will work for the FElon.
If he could decline in such a way that utterly destroys the United States empire, Israel, and Russia while causing minimal harm to the working class and oppressed minorities that would be great.
No no no… we want a very RAPID decline to minimize the damage. If he were on his own, it’d be different but this is a time I’d rather minimize the suffering for everyone.
I’m still down for the painful one at least.
Wealth doesn’t heal old wounds. You can be the most powerful man in the world and not feel in control.
He needs a good therapist not a biographer.
Just when I was starting to feel some sympathy for him I googled “Elon Musk therapy” and this was the first thing to come up…
“Guys would rather upend the world economy and peace in a ketamine bender than go to therapy”
I would never defend Elon, but therapy ain’t for everybody. I gave it a good honest try and my therapist fired me.
Finding a good match isn’t easy but it’s crucial.
Finding the right therapist is somewhere between doing job interviews and going on tinder dates with the intention of an LTR. It’s hard work and it sucks and most people will not be the right person. I think people get the idea that therapists are this magical authority figure who represents “therapy” as a whole. There are so many styles of therapy to choose from and people with in those styles. They are humans with a skill to share, you need the right human with the right skill.
This is going to sound completely fucked up but I’m going to say it anyway. I told my psychiatrist this and she looked disgusted. Anyway- I feel like I’m too smart for therapy to work.
If you’re too smart for therapy you’re probably the perfect candidate for Jnana Yoga: The Path of Self-Inquiry.
I do enjoy yoga.
Just to pointlessly clarify, this is article is a paraphrasing of tweets by a journalist who calls himself a Musk biographer. The quoted journalist is not, as the possessive apostrophe in the headline implies, a biographer hired by Musk.
I didn’t realize it was the guy behind the Proof series, but I like his work. His book on Elon is apparently upcoming.
Some zippy quotes from that article include:
Musk “was sued for stealing the idea for Zip2—which fired him as soon as investors got involved” and “was going to run PayPal into the ground after his company merged with it—again he was fired.” He then “invested in Tesla when it was distressed and quickly began running it into the ground.”
Musk founded Zip2, described as “a sort of digital Yellowpages” by Belmont Hill School’s The Panel Online, with his brother. The outlet reported that in an attempt to impress investors in the company, Musk “created a large, fake casing around the Zip2 computer to make it seem like an extremely advanced supercomputer” — a move that worked, but investors who put $3 million into the company did so only after Musk agreed to step down so “someone more experienced to take his place.”
The code used by the program, which Musk taught himself, “was soon exposed to be so scrambled that a majority of the program had to be rewritten by more advanced programmers.”
Musk ultimately returned to the company as CEO and benefitted financially when it was sold to COMPAQ in 1999. He used the $22 million his 7% share brought in to an “internet bank” at X.com — the same company he merged with the founders of Paypal. He was named CEO after the merger in April 2000 but was removed from the position six months later.
SpaceX, Abramson continued, is Musk’s only “truly successful and novel company” and a chunk of its success was owed to President Obama, who Musk “successfully lobbied” after “Russians had laughed Musk out of Moscow.”
Oh man… So Obama not only roasted Trump so bad that the touchy little bastard ran for office, but he also handed Elon his only genuine W.
Talk about a monkey’s paw president.
thanks Obama!
I have watched that joke start off unfunny, get repurposed ironically, fade into sincerity and circle back to being unfunny, get exhumed in a funny way, die again, and now there’s just this breccia of nuance that makes me feel weird and sad… But in a funny way.
What a trajectory, failing upwards at each step.
Good thing he’s a white man! Or that plan would have never worked.
biographers are not always and more clearly rarely “hired” by their subjects.
True, hence why the grammar used in the headline implied to me that these were the words of a biographer either hired, or at least sanctioned, by Musk himself. So I just wanted to point it out in case other people were having the same interpretation as me.

Elon Musk could have been remembered as a cool tech guy. All he had to do was just keep running his companies and let the smart people working for him do the talking. Nobody would be the wiser that he didn’t know what he was talking about.
Instead, he let his ego get in the way of things and people know him for who he really is. I used to think he was pretty smart. After reading the things he writes, it became apparent that his companies thrive despite him, not because of him.
I know he still has a lot of dick riders but, honestly, I think him streaming Path of Exile live really hurt him with the demographic that was his main fans. White young to middle age males that play video games.
It became the perfect analogy to use to explain to that group of people why actual engineers and scientists know he’s an idiot. He could hide behind criticism because the average person doesn’t know enough about those things to know what he doesn’t know.
But when all the gaming channels started mocking him for not knowing the games UI and not knowing his (paid for) character at rank 3 had some of THE BEST gear. Dude confused “level required” vs gear item level.
It was just such a great example to show people how much of a complete fraud he was. At least people in that demographic. You didn’t even need to play PoE, if you ever played a game you could tell he had no idea what he was doing in his supposedly top ranked player in the world.
Though you still had people defending it, I think for the casual Elon “fan” in that demographic it was pretty eye opening.
It also says a lot about him that he thought he could get away with faking that. He fakes all his other achievements.
He had a pr team helping him, it did wonders for his public image, he became even more narcissistic and got rid of them. also he kinda changed around the time the epstein thing came out too, suspicious?
Nah he couldn’t cause he’s a fraud. Going right is his exit plan.
Well said.
That guy’s mental health reached rock bottom years ago. He has been digging ever since.
Probably around middle school judging by his attitude and behavior. He hasn’t matured emotionally or intellectually since then.
If you have enough wealth to be forever above consequences, you don’t ever need to endure the discomfort of growing
12 by most peoples account, consider he uses language like that of a MSer. trumps brain turned to mush decades ago from adderall and cocaine.
his brain can only function while its bathing in ketamine, dom perrignon, nad cocaine.
I expect the problem is that, when you get that rich, people stop caring about you, they start caring about your money. A string of women who just smash a kid out for him then fuck off. Kids who don’t seem to want anything to do with him. Does he have anyone he actually considers a true friend? Probably not. He’s just surrounded by bootlickers and yes men, and deep down he knows it. He’s probably deeply lonely and paranoid.
Not that I care. He’s also a cunt.
If he wasn’t a cunt then maybe I’d care but he makes it so easy to enjoy his own suffering.
“There’s no cure for being a cunt.” -Ser Bronn of the Blackwater
one of his nicknames is also space karen.
I said this long ago on Lemmy. I pity him. He has nothing of value.
If shit hit the fan I have many around me who love me and want me to succeed. I have 3 kids who rely on me and love me deeply. I have coworkers who love me. I have family who love me. I also love all these people back immensely.
What he has is stuff. Stuff leaves you cold and empty inside. He has no one who loves him. He’s probably a cold, cruel and heartless person when he’s alone and I bet he’s alone a lot. No one loves him for who he is.
Seriously he’s the richest man in the world and he’s so small. He deserves our pity nothing more.
I agree, except for the pity. I could no more pity him than I could a bloated parasite or leach feeding on my own children.
Yeah I get it. To many people they are past the pity phase. I struggled myself putting that. He is a broken man tearing the world down because deep down he is hurt. Hurt people hurt people.
He has thought the whole rest of the world are NPC characters for his whole life. He is an unbelievable asshole that deserves zero pity. Don’t tolerate those that don’t tolerate others in its purest form.
Don’t mistake my pity with my wanting justice. There is no excuse for him being an insufferable asshole that has negatively impacted the lives of so many people.
I am simply stating that I understand him to be a small man and in that I have pity.
I understand, but disagree. Pity is something reserved for those that are redeemable. Musk is one of the irredeemable at this point, too evil imo.
he looks like a doll with dead soulless empty eyes.
Stuff leaves you cold and empty inside. He has no one who loves him.
This is very apparent when you look at his falling out with his daughter. She basically pointed all this out, and that he couldn’t just make up for being a shitty dad for years and years by one time “Look, I sold all my stuff!” type gestures.
But “stuff” is literally all he knows, and so when he was called out on it, it seems to have absolutely broken him and now he’s on this massive anti-trans crusade as a way of getting back at her.
Yeah, but in order to get to such a position, you can’t be a normal person with normal boundaries and interpersonal relationships. He was just born Elon and he will die Elon.
We noticed.
So sad. :(
Clearly for Musks own sake the best solution is to launch him into the sun.
If you want to save energy, consider launching him outside our solar system instead.
I’d be fine with both though and even grant him the trip to Mars of which he apparently dreamt some time ago.Launch him into a shredder, much cheaper. Feet first.
This would indeed get him off the internet permanently. I concur.
Its actually much more energy efficient to launch him out of our solar system than into the sun.
What about helping Musky get his Vitamin D?
He gets that from Trump.

Hopefully he offs himself before his DOGE takes full control of a nuclear silo.
He’ll be replaced by another billionaire, with their own agenda.
That’s probably true but it would still be semi cathartic to see Musk off himself
Like any megalomanic narcissist he is not going to off himself before having taken as many people with him as possible.
Narcissists actually have a pretty high suicide rate. Cluster B disorders are pretty brutal on the sufferers as well as those around them
I mean it would set an example
An example of what, being too lenient? Protesting will become illegal by then and you’ll be picking up cotton…
That society can and will bully billionaires until they go insane and kill themselves.
the only other one in the white house, not in public eye would be thiel.
I thought that he always was an asshole and just dropped the facade, but him once being somewhat sane (as far as billionaires go) and going mad from stress and drug abuse seems like a plausible hypothesis, too. Either way, doesn’t change that he needs to be stopped
Yeah. Not mutually exclusive, either.
He fired his PR team and after that he has been shouting out his true inner self.
