Nora Reeda thing about elon musk is he's so absurdly evil that you could get an entire cast of villains out of parts of his personality flaws, life, and failures, but once they're all bottled up in one guy no one would believe it in fiction
like "extremely shitty status symbol future car that looks like a playstation 1 graphic and dissolves if you run it through a car wash" is basically just something YT would encounter in snow crash
"tech billionaire wasting money on brain implants that will never work also he kills a lot of monkeys" is just a comic book villain origin story
"guy who sexually harasses women and then tries to buy them off with horses" is the bad guy in a historical drama
"racists complain that robot trained on stolen data isn't racist enough" is a pretty straightforward satire
the entire hyperloop situation is the incredibly contrived backstory to a 90s cooperative board game about building public transportation
"ceo that doesn't let employees install proper safety markings at factory because he hates the color yellow" on its own is basically completely unbelievable in any genre
ルビーちゃん@NoraReed wait is this real
Dial Tone, Busy Signal *biiip*@NoraReed I feel like this dude must be working on "smart" glasses that just change everything yellow to a different color. And that's it.
Also, by "working on," I definitely mean he's looking for a company already trying to produce something similar so he can buy it and claim to be the creator.
Monica Rooney@NoraReed is it not just a rehash of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? The bad guy was trying to kill the LA streetcars.
Random Geek in limbo@NoraReed not even an origin, just a comic book villain side gig.
Unless it's a monkey comic book villain maybe!
@randomgeek i was thinking his minions turning into zombies from brain chips and him as final boss or something
@NoraReed no, or depends on the comic book maybe. In your higher quality ones he'd be set up as villain but would end up being patient zero or something, and the spark that made a now-superpowered cyber mutant genius monkey decide that humanity needed to perish.
ok maybe not one of the better comics
@randomgeek lol i don't think any of these would be any good to read or watch or play

@NoraReed Extra credit for the YT reference.
some kind of orange shape@NoraReed no one seems to believe it in practice irl, either
@clayote it feels like people are both too credulous and not enough
TheJen will not complyWhy do you think I read history and not fiction? Haha! The stories are better.
