Summary
“I have been in the same room with Elon, and he always tries to be funny. And he’s not funny. Like, at all,” a senior Trump administration official told Rolling Stone. “He makes these jokes and little asides and smiles and then looks almost hurt if you don’t lap up his humor. I keep using the word ‘annoying’; a lot of people who have to deal with him do.”
Musk’s insufferable behavior has caused several high-ranking officials to walk out of important meetings and sincerely question if he was high on drugs, the publication reports, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio is said to be barely able to hide his immense dislike of the DOGE chief and State Department officials routinely call him “Crazy Uncle Elon” behind his back.
Other officials have suggested subjecting Musk to a mandatory drug test, which he has said is a “great idea” for federal employees, as a way to push him out of the door. The Tesla CEO has denied taking any illegal drugs, although numerous people claim to have witnessed him use LSD, cocaine, Ecstasy, and mushrooms behind closed doors, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Im tired of pig fucking fascists regardless if they’re funny or not.
I don’t believe anything what this Administration says.
Elon has control of nearly all government systems including the Treasury. How does Trump and company think this will go when they finally come to heads?
Hint: Trump will lose. Badly.
Trump administration photoshop in 3, 2, 1…
A shy guy who desperately wants to be a nerd’s nerd somehow gets tangled with the party of RAM truck buying adult frat bros who see themselves as “alpha”. I just can’t figure out the culture fit, and articles like this don’t surprise me at all. Like, isn’t Trump the kind of guy who would endlessly bully someone for saying they play videogames at all?
There are two main types of “conservative” now. The old school big truck lovin’, god-fearin’, beer guzzling, anti-environmentalist yeehaw types, and the “newer” 4chan-posting, edgelording, neckbearded, gamergatin’, crypto-lovin’ internet troll types that have arose in the last twenty-five years with the proliferation of the Internet. Elon is trying to fit in with the latter.
“newer” 4chan-posting, edgelording,
You mean asmongold grandpa?
^ This. Never forget, Trump’s first term was pushed to success by 4 chan. He is and always has been a 4chan president. He is the emolbodiement of everything /b/
Musk is so poor all he has is money.
He thought having more money would make him powerful and therefore likable, and he’s in the FA stage.
If he decided to do something like solve world hunger instead of buying Twitter a lot of people would begrudgingly give him some respect at least.
He’s a narcissist. He psychologically is unable to think that way. For him power comes from mone, so he cannot give it away. If he’s not rich, then he’s not special. He’s no one.
I’m a killjoy: I doubt that this article is accurate, or if it even matters. I think articles like this exist to placate. I wouldn’t trust anything that a “senior administration official” tells Rolling Stone.
Absolutely, these looks like a pat on the back to everyone to make them feel better about Elon and their country.
Reeks of bullshit.
I’m a bit confused, cause Trump isn’t funny. It must be awful to be in a room with either of them.
Trump is funny to conservatives. The kind who laugh at the attack helicopter joke. Elon isn’t even funny to conservatives, which is kind of impressive.
Trump is best viewed as an insult comic
Not to mention the constant k-hole he seems to be in
They are definitely NOT “tired” of his money though.
I was sick of this guy at least back in 2022, and I don’t work with the guy. Reading about his douchebaggery in his takeover of xitter was more than enough to flip the bozo bit on this guy.
I choose to see the good in Elon; he may have finally made the cheese hat too cringe to wear.
But at what cost?
At what cost?
To lose the Wisconsin Supreme Court election: $21m.
As a wisconsinite this deeply upsets me
Your culture is wrong, I’m sorry
You don’t like cheese?
Cheese is food not fashion!
¿Porque no los dos?
From what I’ve read, this is kinda how he ran off the founders of Tesla.
Maybe that’s his plan. Government takeover by cringe.
numerous people claim to have witnessed him use LSD, cocaine, Ecstasy, and mushrooms behind closed doors
It’s amazing that he can do LSD, mushrooms, and ex and still have zero empathy.
Ifs hes combining it with ketamine, cocaine and alcohol, it makes sense
I wish we could dispel the myth that psychedelics make you peaceful and empathetic. In my experience and in my friend group they seem to make you be 100x what you already are. If you’re empathetic you become an empathy monster, if you’re analytical you start breaking things down, if you’re an annoying asshole you’re someone who should be kicked out of the room because that times 1000 is too much.
Those substances are empathy multipliers, unfortunately multiplying 0 always yields 0…
If his brain doesn’t possess the ability to empathize, there’s nothing for those substances to enhance.
It’s been fried by taking too many drugs once,.plus alcohol has been known to make your brain physically shrink
Yeah but 0^0 = 1, maybe we just need to inject him with heaps of meth first or something. It’s not like we could make the situation worse
I would question your maths, but the rest doesn’t sound all that bad.
wait holy fuck 0^0 does equal 1, wtf. how?
A definitional concession to make exponential series work. xn for n ∈ (0, 1) is the nth root of x, which gets ever closer to 1, while x^n for n < 0 equals 1÷ (xn). Between them lies the neutral element with respect to multiplication 1 (neutral meaning that x × 1 = x; a factor of one doesn’t actually change anything). Hence, x0 = 1.
That rule breaks down for x = 0, obviously. Negative exponents don’t work at all because they’re division by zero, while all exponents > 0 result in 0. Semantically, 00 probably should be undefined, but the neutral element rule does provide a definition. There also isn’t really any reasonable use case where you’d need that to be consistent with anything else.
Yeah, that was my first thought that he really hadn’t because unless he micro-microdosed or just said he did to be “cool”, which is on brand for him, there’s no way he did hallucinogins and still came out the other side like that.
From my understanding he’s a big proponent of the simulation theory, so he’s probably cool with being a shit person because it’s all a simulation anyways. I’d wager that he sees himself as a player in a video game and he’s going for high scores.
Who the fuck can take simulation theory seriously?
Someone who is high all the time
It would explain a lot. Most of the people in this world act like poorly scripted AI.
gestures generally around
But his idea of simulation theory and most of our ideas of simulation theory are not the same.
He thinks it means there are no consequences.
We all know it’s means the consequences might be simulated but they still suck.
So just nihilism with more steps.
A particularly nasty version of absurdism, more like. If nothing matters in the grand scheme, might as well go and make the best of your life. Except most people can still acknowledge that empathy does matter for your life at least, while he doesn’t give a shit.
I think you just summed up MAGA
Which is asinine. As currently, there is no way out of the simulation if that is even true, so you’re stuck with the simulation consequences no matter what. Which means you might as well treat them as real because they are to you. We should have cleaned up better after WW2 somehow.
We also should have cleaned up better after the Civil War. That was probably the bigger mistake.
Tbh we could probably take this back to the beginning of time. The real question is, how do we stop the slow slide into monsters from where we are at now? Also, its not slow.
Yeah. I think it would have involved nuclear annihilation at some point, and not because of USA vs Russia, but because the USA was pro nationalism-racism-authorotarianism-eugeniscm long before WW2.
Why do you think they happily looked the other way for so many scientists.
Someone on a lot of drugs?
It’s getting hard to take even reality seriously these days.
Someone please go spike his coffee with whatever dosage is needed to trigger ego death
Someone please go spike his coffee with whatever dosage is needed to trigger death
I’m surprised Ketamine isn’t in this list, I thought it was his drug of choice this past year?
I really doubt Elon is who he is and uses acid or shrooms. That just sounds like reefer madness nonsense to me.
To be fair, this said behind closed doors. He does the ketamine out in the open, claiming it was prescribed to him.
it was prescribed to him
Hey! Elon and i go to the same doctor!
He also smoked weed in public on the Joe Rogan show. He clearly likes drugs.
“behavior has caused several high-ranking officials to walk out of important meetings and sincerely question if he was high on drugs”
Bet you dollars to donuts that he is, so, yes.
People are leaking to get Musk kicked out. Imagine how ill-behaved one must be to get kicked out of that room.
Emphasis on the plural DRUGS.
