Bruh that picture of him in a trenchcoat trying to look like a pirate is who he really is. He's the kind of person that thinks X is cool, didn't understand the message of V for Vendetta, and overrates how cool black is as a color. He's locked in to who he was as a 13 year old. Hitchhikers Guide is his favorite series but he doesn't get that Xaphod Beeblebrox is the villain. He emulates who Douglas Adams, who he cites as his greatest hero, was trying to present as a complete and total fucking idiot. Elon Musk is the actual Vogons destroying earth to convenience an even wealthier group of people. This motherfucker read and loved the most antifascist book series he coulda loved and grew up to be a fascist. He's completely empty as a person. His upbringing scooped out every good thing he ever could have been and didn't even really put anything back. He's an actual empty shell of a person.

And you know what? I'm done asking why all those kids bullied him when he was young and I'm ready to start asking why Elon didn't learn what those kids were trying to teach him: you're an asshole and you need to get wise.

Okay so there is this douchebag club of billionaires who are former marines and current nazis that are the ones who started the pirate broligarchy. I met one of them. Been to their house multiple times, had one on one dinner, etc. They’re way fucked up people and are angry at the US for personal bullshit that they think is noble. They fund big events like Nascar and other conservative macho cock sucker closeted gay gatherings that nobody decent cares about. Their familial heritage is that they were pirate families that worked for wealth families and royalty back in the day. Portuguese descent. Basically rich kids who turned into black sheep and now want to take over the world. I hope more light comes to them as they are the forces pushing the destruction of the US from SoCal.

Ever since I stumbled across some videos on YouTube about it, I always picture Elon as Wheatley from Portal 2

Hmm. I’m gonna have to pick another favourite colour.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago

Nah. Like what you like. Just don't act like its the only cool color and anything and everything is enhanced by being presented in the "edgy" color
