    I fully support Elon suing. I'd love to see the kind of stuff that would come out of discovery that he would never want anyone to see.

    I'd like to believe that there is a law with tensile strength to bind him but we as a society don't really have any mechanism to address the kind of corruption that an infinitesimal fragment of his wealth can cause.

    I think he's too big to prosecute. I think Trump is America's mask off moment and we are now openly rearranging the machinery of government to turn us all into sausages to be served up to oligarchs.

    The problem is that they want something like slavery but they don't want you to have a house or food. They want the government to keep the slaves for them. Elon personally is willing to spend a functionally unlimited amount of money to ensure that he gets to be king of Earth.

    The oligarchs are crazy, but they're not stupid.

    I for one will enjoy him trying to prove that the documentary is libelous.

    Of course this thin-skinned, whiny, barrel-chested man-baby bitch doesn't like a documentary about him.

    I can't rag on the bald, for I am also bald.

    Though unlike this chud, I embrace it and shave what does grow off. And I look better for it.

    Fuck you Elon.

    I would only rag on him, because of his expensive hair plugs. You know he's ashamed of it so it's about needling an insecure shithead.

    I've always thought that cosmetic work which makes you look younger is dishonest. It's a way to cheat and make people subconsciously think you've got the same capabilities of a young person when you're actually going nearly senile. If Musk looked his age, he wouldn't be nearly as respected. If congresspeople had to look their age with gray hair and bald spots, we'd be voting them out long before they become old farts.

    Musk is an idiot. A fucking moron.

    He’s constantly insisting that he’s so smart (which btw is something morons do, not geniuses).

    He keeps dropping hints that he’s an evil genius that stole the election, while publicly saying he didn’t.

    I think he did so something shady during the election that we don’t know about, but not in the way he keeps implying.

    He wants us to think that he’s capable of “beaming votes in from space” so people will think he’s cool.

    I’m pretty sure he doesn’t have any friends.

    Discovery should start immediately if someone threatens to sue. So much of this bullshit is just bullying by rich Nazis. You threaten to sue open up the books you parasites.

    I didn't know there was a doco about this sad, nazi loser

    I won't watch it, but I am glad that he's upset about it and I hope he gets his fee-fees hurt so bad he dies

    Him being upset makes it more likely I'll watch it. I watched The Apprentice (more a movie based on a true story than a traditional documentenary) and despite my dislike of Trump I really enjoyed watching it. Mostly because I (as s European) didn't know a thing about him until he first ran for president. Have no clue whether i will enjoy watching this in the same way, but if it might I will watch it a doco about this sad, nazi loser. No doubt.

    Hagiography… there’s a word I had to look up.

    If Musk hates this, it makes me want to watch it. But then I’m not sure if I can bring myself to watch four hours of Musk. This lawsuit is almost like a marketing stunt.

    When does this rich child not abuse the justice system. It’s expected. What a chud.

    Meanwhile, if he wanted respect and admiration, there are plenty of things he could do with his money to earn them. Feeding people, providing shelter, paying for social services. It’s all within reach, but he’d rather sue for people explaining how he actually behaves.

    A four hour documentary about the guy's life sounds like a summary of all the video essays I've watched about him over the years. I doubt it will bring up anything I didn't know already. Anyone trying to educate people about psychopathic billionaires has my support but I fear this will criticize the person rather than the system that enabled him.

    Lol I don't think most people would watch video essays about one batshit fascist billionaire over years.

    The overwhelming majority of the internet praised the guy as the second coming of Christ when I was watching most of these. We're talking about Pre-Biden Musk.

    Maybe this is some kind of troll? Is this really not made by him and people will pay lots of money to watch a video of Elon getting glazed?

  • [–] 2 points 1 month ago

    I would wager that he's going to profit off of this film, and this is his PR campaign for it. "Oh no, please don't make me money".

    it could be a totally legit film made by sincere people, but if you give me 2:1 I would take that bet

    That's just going to pack the theaters and make more money for the producers.

    Well, this was of its time, and tbh I was fairly surprised to still find it, but every time I hear about him, I’m reminded of that interview with his father, and this song.

    When you're a notorious shithead, who delights in getting publicity for doing terrible things to lots of people because you think it's funny, then you can expect that any media about your life and career is going to include some ugly stuff. If you don't want that stuff in your biography, you should do what most people do, and not do ugly stuff. It's pretty easy, most people manage to go their entire lives without doing terrible stuff that kills millions of people.
