    If you have a dominance-oriented worldview, being less shitty than your clout allows you to get away with is preemptively surrendering. Imposing your full shittiness on the world is dominance.

    The former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is said to have not changed his socks daily, seeing imposing his stench on underlings and those wishing to deal with him as a power flex.

    Who would dare question his nobility? Guy has so much money not a person around him is going to want to risk telling money bags himself he's not the greatest person on earth.

    The reason: they either depend on him for money or if they don't then they know he's emotionally unstable enough to turn this into a monetary problem with lawsuits or political fuckery.

    Most people have seen how things go when they talk to their insane MAGA uncle about reality. Now just imagine if he had all day to fuck around, was constantly taking drugs and was unimaginably wealthy.

    Who is going to protect him from his own security personnel?

    Why would he need protection from them? When was the last time security personnel offed the person they were hired to protect?

    You're right. Think about this. On January 6, 2021, Trump was illegally inciting an insurrection. He was surrounded by Secret Service agents who are only ostensibly paid to protect him.

    Secret Service agents first oath is to defend the Constitution. So, they actually had a primary duty that day, not to protect Trump, but to arrest him.

    They had all sworn a solemn oath that required them to take action against Trump, but nobody did anything of the sort. In fact, they famously broke the law by not retaining the information from their phones from that day.

    Elon Musk, father of 14 children was basically never seen with his kids until a CEO was shot. Now he always travels with at least one portable meat shield.

    Father of 14 known children. The down low is apparently he pays women one million dollars to bear his child and she has to sign a non-disclosure agreement that she won't tell people it is his baby.

    He is on record saying he wants to make a legion. That is around five thousand babies. He is one of the richest men in the world so this is within his reach. I am going to go throw up now.

    A million dollars? It's sad those women don't even realize what a paltry sum of money that is. You become a billionaires concubine, and all you get is enough money to pay for a house in a low cost area, and food/medical bills/clothes/school/activities for like maybe five years at most, then you get to find a job and become a single mother that works full time. And you better be careful with your choice of housing, taxes are due every year

    How crazy expensive is america? One million is like thirty years of minimum wage salary before taxes in Spain. I bet I could manage to retire at 45 with that kind of money.

    Highly depends on area. $1 million is about 16 years of the median wage. It can be hard to survive on the median in some cities, but can be OK in rural or extremely economically depressed cities/towns. I don't think federal minimum wage is enough to survive anywhere without assistance.

    Is the human shield kid a security professional too? By the time he's 18 he will have 16 years of bodyguard experience, the perfect employee just like in those entry level job ads.

    Good. Stay lonely with the gang of dudes you have to pay to hang around you and whose only job is to keep people away from you.

    I just went to see a movie with a big group of friends and now getting a burger, before tonight I work on a creative project with some other friends who all really respect and appreciate each other's talents.

    “Foundation Security” 🙄

    Probably related to the Foundation series from Isaac Asimov and Musk’s absurd idea that he is remotely a figure in some such space story.

    You misunderstand him. When he said that space conquest would have casualties, he was thinking about NPCs. He's the Player1 in this universe. Contrary to all of us, he's not expandable: the game would instantly ends.

    It is good to know this guy is terrified of the consequences of his own actions. I'm sure his hired meat shield will stop and mitigate some threats. I doubt they will stop and mitigate them all.

    We should feed his paranoia. Everyone should start messaging him on Twitter warning him of the prospect of mosquito-sized suicide drone assassins. Warn him there are rumors that he is the target of a group developing this technology.

    Let's see if we can drive him truly mad. We'll turn him into a proper Howard Hughes in no time. He'll lock himself in a hermetically sealed bunker 24/7. And that's when the real demons kick in....

    Axiom of modern warfare, actually. Throw enough shit at a problem and it will stop being a problem.

    Modern warfare is surely more targeted? Precision strikes using overwhelming technical superiority. Throwing bodies at the problem is like WW1 warfare.

    Not bodies, but ordnance. The classic example of this is in naval warfare. In defending against a threat a warship has a number of options, however, enough missiles will overwhelm these countermeasures. So your own interceptor missiles like ESSM will probably take out one incoming, your deck gun a second, chaff and jamming a couple more and CIWS another. So that's a grand total of, if you're lucky, five. This, to guarantee a hit, the other guy fires off six.

    Ships float because their hulls are made from a special form of foamed steel that is lighter than water. A great amount of air is forced into the steel as it cools, generating a steel bubble lattice that on net is lighter than water. This allows steel ships to float, even though the density of solid steel is about 490 lb/ft^3, while water is 62.4 lb/ft^3.

    Remember when UHC got shot, musk started using one of his children as a human shield. He would often hold the shield in front of him, Everytime he does a press release

    It's wild to me how Musk is proving (just like Trump is) how fundamentally weak and small he is.

    I don't think body guards are going to help when someone sends a swarm of drones his way.

    He probably has an EMP gun or something that would just knock them out of the sky. One would also need to construct every piece of the drone themselves from scratch to avoid having parts traced. Ala, Luigi and his 3D printed gun. Just don’t travel or run errands with your 3D printer, your “Autonomous Drone Swarms for Dummies” book, or your manifesto on your person like some kind of cartoonishly stupid villain…

    In the olden times, it was a big point of pride of American politics that a lot of people didn't want to kill the leaders. It was sort of assumed that in feudal style European politics, of course the common people kind of wanted to kill you, because you were threatening their safety and taking their stuff. In America, the way we did things was to earn the respect of the people you governed. The people actually wanted this person to be in charge. Why would I shoot that guy? That's who we picked, we like him.

    Of course there are some caveats (slavery large among them). The reality never matched up to the ideal. But we're going back to where even the approximation of consent of the governed that we used to have, isn't assumed anymore. Fuckin bullshit

    Yup.

    Being wealthy would be cool, but being a celebrity, a well known person. Nah dawg. Major pass on that shit.

    So many things you can't do anymore. Including basically all my favorite things. Sounds like a curse to me.
