MicroWaveDowning Street condemns Elon Musk for claim ‘civil war is inevitable’
Flying SquidCivil war is inevitable just like COVID would be over by April 2019 and that humans would set foot on Mars in 2024 (they better hurry up.)
This website keeps track of all the stupid bullshit Elon has predicted:
dmtalonGave me something to laugh at while eating lunch
I started reading, got about 10 minutes in before realizing how much there was. Jesus why do people think he is anything other than a hype man
I’m curious what percentage of people actually take him seriously, at this point.
Way too many. And way too many powerful ones. All they see is dollar signs.
I mean, they do exist, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a single digit percentage. When he gets invited to speak on things the vibe is more that he’s human clickbait than anything.
HalcyonIf anyone doesn’t know it yet:
The podcast Tech Won’t Save Us has a wonderful series called “Elon Musk Unmasked” where they also debunked all of his empty promises.

Oh. That’s a good one.
Idk, regular Carthegie was already kind of Apartheid Carthegie.
“Phony Stark” is my personal favorite
I think you mean Temu Iron Man. Wish Iron Man would be a step up from what we have.
is there also a site covering his lawsuits? That bitcoin one seems… actionable
Covid didn’t even start until like October 2019, and didn’t reach America until February 2020.
The world didn’t even know that word in April 2019.

Just the Flu
- 1,649 days since Elon Musk said Coronavirus would be similar to the flu. (1/31/2020)
“There is considerable conflation of diagnosis & contraction of “corona”. Actual virality is much lower than it would seem. I think this will turn out to be comparable to other forms of influenza.”

It’s a pity it stopped somewhere 2022.
Yeah I feel a bit more optimistic for the future now that this clampit has voiced his shitty wet dream.
Yeah, I look at it as inevitable but I’m also aware I’m a terminally online weirdo in a lefty echo chamber who should keep his thoughts mostly anonymous.
