Usually I'd feel pity for someone being cyberbullied, but Elon told me that's a sign of weakness, so fuck him.

He deserves it

[–] [email protected] 58 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The richest guy in the world, and he is so horny for any love and respect that the smell of desperation fills any room he is in. You can even see it anytime he makes a media appearance. The guy actually exudes a breath-taking level of anti-charisma. He's truly revolting to anyone who sees him.

All that money, and he has to rent wombs to manufature his DNA Storage Units/ Organ Donors/ Human Shields because no woman will go near him. Ive heard his dick doesn't work anyway, due to a botched wiener enlargement surgery.

So he thinks the gamers are his peeps, and they'll love him, right? Nah, all those great toys, and still none of the neighborhood kids want to play with him, because he's so fucking wierd.

It makes me so happy to see him demonstrating in real time, the old saying "Money can't buy happiness."

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Well if it was just that he was weird he could probably find a real friend or two. Hell I know a ton of just god awful people who still have folks who wanna hang with them.

It's that there's no mutual benefit to knowing or liking him at all. Even your typical maga shitdick has friends who like them but Muskrats only here for clout and that's the kinda guy who turns on you for a quick part on the back from someone who hasn't told them theyre special today.

Elon. It’s me, Ashley St. Claire. I have no other means of contacting you so I bought PoE2 early access. Please pay your child support. Thank you Elon

I died

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 days ago

Notice that despite the awesome trolling, it wasn't until someone called him dumb and ugly that it elicited a response from him. Calling him out for being a piece of shit doesn't work, denigrating the attributes he built a superiority complex on.....ohhh fuck yeah that shit burns him real good.

[–] [email protected] 308 points 4 days ago (3 children)

That dude should not have a moment of peace and quiet until he stops ruining peoples lives.

Until he pays the karmic debt. He already has a lifetime to pay for his cruelty.

It astounds me that a middle aged man, who can literally afford anything, do anything, go anywhere, is so fragile emotionally that he craves adulation from absolute strangers. Particularly teenage boys, which emotionally, he is also.

It would be pitiable if we wasn't such a psychopath.

[–] [email protected] 94 points 4 days ago (4 children)

As a wise man recently said,

They tried to rig the game, but you can't fake influence.

Money can buy everything but it can't buy respect. Nobody respects Musk getting to level 90+ in SSF HC PoE2 because he just bought his way there. Nobody respects him on Twitter, because he bought his way there. Nobody respects Tesla, because (say it with me kids) he bought his way there.

What gets me is that he has the means to become the most beloved man in history pretty much on a whim. I can't even begin to comprehend the amount of good he could do by dumping half his fortune into good causes, which would still leave him with orders of magnitude more money than he'd need to buy/do whatever the fuck he wants with.

The attention he craves is right there. But he chooses instead to be a villain. Why?? Be a fucking superhero - even if it's for completely selfish reasons, humanity won't give shit.

I don't get it.

If I randomly obtained a billion dollars, let alone hundreds of billions, I'd spend the rest of my life riding a warm-and-fuzzy high. Helping people feels good!

[–] [email protected] 36 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Look at Bill Gates. He's a complete asshole and was widely hated until he stepped down from Microsoft. But, spend just a small fraction of his fortune on charity, much of it self-serving, and he's now he's widely loved.

If I randomly obtained a billion dollars, let alone hundreds of billions, I'd spend the rest of my life riding a warm-and-fuzzy high. Helping people feels good!

The thing is, you don't become a billionaire if you have empathy. If you're a normal kind of person who likes helping other people, you start giving away your money long before you hit $1B.

Reminder: He died to a Tutorial Boss in a game he tried to use a boosted account in to fake being one of the top players only for the devs to go "Wait, aren't you a top Diablo IV player? Either you have the time management skills of a God and are the top player in multiple games, or you're bullshitting..... and guess what's the winning one."

Transcript:

Elon Musk rage quit a livestream of the video game Path of Exile 2 on Saturday night after repeatedly dying while also being ruthlessly cyberbullied in the chat.

Path of Exile 2 is one of Musk’s favorite games—so much so that he once claimed to be one of the world’s top players in an attempt to boost his gamer cred, before later backtracking and admitting that he had been secretly paying people to level up his account to make him appear more talented at it than he was.

Nevertheless, while attempting to show off Starlink’s in-flight WiFi capabilities while onboard his private jet over the weekend, Musk streamed himself playing some PoE2 on the hardest difficulty, which was broadcast live on X.

The DOGE chief was, predictably, terrible at the game, but that was the least of his problems—Less than five minutes into the stream, a player logged on and asked Musk if he could “please jerk off mr trump so he dies of a heart attack.” It only got worse from there.

For the next hour and a half, Musk sat in stony-faced silence and blasted techno music while dozens of users with names such as ELON_IS_A_PEEDOPHILE and ELON_MUSK_IS_PATHETIC repeatedly spammed the chat to tell him “YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS AND YOU WILL DIE ALONE” and “YOU WILL ALWAYS FEEL INSECURE AND IT WILL NEVER GO AWAY.”

Elon Musk Rage Quits Livestream After Getting Ruthlessly Cyberbullied by Gamers Elon Musk Rage Quits Livestream After Getting Ruthlessly Cyberbullied by Gamers YouTube “Elon. It’s me, Ashley St. Claire. I have no other means of contacting you so I bought PoE2 early access. Please pay your child support. Thank you Elon,” said an account pretending to be the conservative influencer currently locked in a custody battle with Musk over their five-month-old child, while another said his estranged daughter Vivian “was right” about him being terrible at video games.

Some streamers attempted to help Musk out by trying to show him how to mute the chat function, while others encouraged people to “Buy TSLA” and thanked him for his work with Starlink and DOGE, but they were drowned out by a cavalcade of abuse from gamers relished the opportunity to give the billionaire a piece of their mind.

Elon Musk Rage Quits Livestream After Getting Ruthlessly Cyberbullied by Gamers Elon Musk Rage Quits Livestream After Getting Ruthlessly Cyberbullied by Gamers YouTube “There’s a lot of r-----s in the chat,” said Musk at one point, using the r-word slur while a user named HC_John_Wick repeatedly spammed “ELON HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO LOOK THIS DUMB AND UGLY WHY IS UR TESLA COMPANY FALLING APART AHAAHAAHAAH! WHAT HAPPENED BUDDY?”

But aside from muting a couple of the loudest trolls after almost an hour of sustained abuse, Musk did little to stop the army of trolls from relentlessly mocking him.

Eventually, he vanished when his WiFi connection abruptly cut out and ended the stream, which he later deleted from X but was swiftly reuploaded onto YouTube.

Bro, I ALMOST feel bad since I know he read those and they definitely cut deep considering his shitty undeveloped personality.

Then I remembered what a POS he is and I think he deserves worse all of a sudden.

This is hilarious mainly because all he had to do was type /DND and he could have stopped all of this, which anyone who had actually played the game for any substantial amount would know, but of course he doesn't, because he just paid people to play it for him.

In the age of information take-downs by the Fanta Menace's Nazi regime, make sure to archive this and mirror it to Peertube and Archive.org.

YouTube link (for now, it will probably disappear in the next 48 hours): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDJaymU2hfw

You can also find this on Archive.org. I won't put the link here to help protect it from takedowns. If you have the capacity to do so, seed the torrent. Don't let the world forget of this hilarious clown-show.

And remember - you probably feel empathy witnessing someone get bullied like this. But don't forget what this James Bond villain is responsible for, the havoc he has caused, and the millions of lives he has disrupted. Harden your heart because these facists will NEVER change. Cyberdump man-baby emerald mine fascist Nazi jumping Tesla man deserves to get cyberbullied, and at points in the video he looks like he is going to cry; those are Crocodile Tears. He'll hide the pain with his hundreds of billions of dollars, memes, and ketamine while sitting in his ivory tower resting his feet on Trump's back.

Is it really "cyberbullying" against Musk if Musk first negatively affected the lives and livelihoods of, say, millions of people?

It's the Find Out stage that follows his Fuck Around rather than any sort of him being bullied.

When extremely wealthy and powerful people knowingly ruining the lives of tens, hundreds of thousands or even millions, them getting some well deserved opprobrium from everybody else, that's Fair Consequences, not bullying.

I mean, I wouldn't call it fair. They said some really nasty things but I think for it to be fair, we would have to get a guillotine involved.

Imagine if we could piss him off hard enough to seppuku on stream about it.

It would be such a glorious story for history.

That'd be some must-see content.

I would want stickers if it. That kind you can tilt back and forth for a short animation.

Just drink that satisfaction and joy right from the air.

top 10 player btw...

what a fucking idiot. no one would be making fun of him if he just said he likes playing video games but as a CEO of multiple companies he's too busy (lol) to get good at them. just say you suck at video games but love the art form, dumbass. but he can't because he's sick in the head and desperately needs approval from other unfuckable shits.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I saw it on r/watchpeopledieinside. I saved the video from the post. It was beautiful to see. The moment he broke down and claimed there was a lost connection was when "YOU HAVE NO REAL FRIENDS AND YOU'LL DIE ALONE" entered the chat. Use YouTube to watch it.

A recommended article on the page:

Streamer Slams ‘F***ing Loser’ Musk: ‘Imma Have Grimes on’: ‘BATTLE OF THE NERDS’

Sorry, what has Elon done to deserve any amount of nerd cred?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Oh he's a nerd for sure, just one whose ego outsizes his nerdyness by far.

He's considered an average self-taught programmer by skill, but started fairly early because of his interest in computers. There's also no way he started SpaceX purely for profit, he had to actually be very interested in space because it was a money pit for a looong time.

I think he went from wanting to make the world a better, more efficient place via tech in the 90s and early 00s, to having a savior complex where he thinks he's the smartest man to ever have existed, and only he can save the entire world. His goals required him to make a lot of money, and the very same money completely changed him.

That's not to say he wasn't always an asshole with a superiority complex, it's just that there quite likely was more to him than just the pursuit of money and power... But having plenty of both silenced any actual human part of his personality.
