"Even my friends don't text me back that fast" is a wonderful insult.

Our lad just starched the richest man in the world in his own office.
So I guess Elon tried to get into chess because it's a smart people hobby, got demolished, and now is having a sour grapes moment.
Probably also paid others to play for him like with his stupid video games, he's fucking pathetic.
I would be curious what his highest chess.com raing is. I got to 1650 once, a middling score, more often in the 1500s but don't play much now.
I don't know what he has against chess, but this is like the 3rd time I've seen him try to convince everyone that it's pointless because of computers.
Another classic example that proves this:

What I take from this is "I can't cheat, so I won't play"
"I keep losing because this game is TOO SPUPID"
Oh you can cheat at chess.com. People use engines to suss out the best moves and plug them into their games. Chess.com spots many, but not all of them, you will get notices after the fact that your rating has been changed upwards because they detected them cheating.
It's quite common.
It's written like a deliberate parody of people like him, it's so ludicrous.
My theory is that he's frustrated that he can't manage a team or pay someone to get better at it for him.
The humility it takes to be a beginner at something is uncomfortable when you have a huge ego.
Lol it means he has the same problem with it that I did: there's absolutely no random element to blame so when you lose you just fucking lose and that's all there is to it. The other person's brain just stepped on your brain and wiped it off on the curb.
Wow the most cringe comment possible. Amazing. He keeps doing it.
I'm pretty sure it's because he can't stand losing. The man clearly suffers from a narcissistic personality disorder.
Right? I'm sure he expected to immediately be a god at chess with no studying or practice, then got upset when that wasn't the case.
Yes, because of his financial success, he considers himself a genius—which he very obviously never was. This is a common trait among billionaires. Many of them are psychopaths who have amassed their wealth through utter unscrupulousness, irresponsibility in the form of an absurd willingness to take risks, and sheer luck.
In the case of Musk, Thiel, and various others, that stroke of luck was PayPal. That company was so successful that it made all of its investors immeasurably rich—it was more a matter of chance that PayPal succeeded, and everything that followed really wasn’t all that difficult because that kind of money cannot lose anymore no matter how ridiculous stupid someone might be.
That’s precisely the problem: We only hear about the people who bet everything on one card and won—they’re portrayed as geniuses, which they never were. We never hear anything about all those who failed miserably—and that’s the vast majority.
Billionaires aren’t geniuses or even above-average in intelligence. Their financial success has, in the rarest of cases, anything to do with intelligence.
I have been a full ass adult the entire time twitter has existed and I still don't fucking understand how the thread structure works.
Oh good I thought I was the only one having an aneurysm reading from top to bottom
The guy who pays people to play video games for him so he can fail at pretending he played himself in a "Hello, fellow kids" moment is pretending to be smart again? Wild.
wtf is the order one is supposed to read this in?
Something I'll never understand about twitter. Maybe it was more readable before the nazi took it over?
It was always that unintuitive.

Month-day-year social media format
The person who put three screenshot together would have gained so much respect to me if they just took 5 extra seconds to paste it in reading order.
Twitter-brained people think being Twitter-brained is the default.
He's so insecure about his own intelligence.
Imagine being the richest man alive and your whole existence is being envious of other people's abilities.
Elon Musk is the personification of a moron’s hallucination of a genius.
Even my friends don't text me back so fast
Lmaooooo love that reply 🤣
Elon Musk doesn't understand complex systems? Colour me I already knew that.
So he just saw "40 orders of magnitude" and decided that just happened to be the same number he needed to make his point (just going the other way).
Lol ok.
Legitimate question; does he know what an order of magnitude is?
Ok;
This is the observable universe.
Not the entire universe, which we have no idea how large it is.
So the observable universe has 10^80 atoms or so. The number of possible moves in all possible chess games is supposed to be around 10^120. That number is called the “Shannon Number.”
The man with the Large Paedophilia Model can’t even solve himself.
Elon wants to become a computer so badly, but not even he will put a neuralink chip in his head.
That speaks magnitudes about that tech tbh.
I knew Melon Husk was a moron years ago. Just before the release of the Cyberdumpster, he had made an off-the-cuff statement about the quality of said vehicle as "having a tolerance of plus or minus five microns". At the time I worked for a company that made power train parts for all kinds of different makes and models of cars. specifically, I made what's known as a "spider", a type of gear that allows for flexibility at the joint: the part under the protective "boot" if you've ever glanced under a car. My job was running the machine that cuts the splines on the spider that makes it fit on the shaft. Even the smallest of spiders have an I.D. (inner diameter) tolerance of plus or minus fifteen microns.
I knew by Melon Head's comment that he either didn't know what the fuck a micron was, or just thought it would make him sound smart because nobody else did. This was back when he was at the height of his popularity, before he got involved with the orange Pedo-in-Chief and started throwing Nazi gang signs.
I'm glad that the Cyberdumpster was/is such a failure; those things are ugly as fuck. On the other hand, I hate that the rest of us will have to foot the bill for his fuck-ups.
Being able to solve checkers doesn't mean people will stop enjoying playing checkers. It is true that chess could be solved, although you don't really need to brute force every single possibility 'by hand' as that guy implied, but it won't mean people will stop playing it
Man with no friends doesn't understand the point of playing a game beyond "solving" and "winning" the game. I wonder why he has no friends.
I don't know much about chess and how it works in professional stage, but even i know whatever that musk spout from his mouth are complete arrogance and bs
This guy is such a loser.
Even though elon is like a bad James Bond villain he is nothing like the Bond villains from the movies. The movie Bond villains had sophistication and class.
Elon Musk is a literal crackhead, on drugs for real, but I will admit that he isn't technically wrong that the pool of valid moves is more limited than total possible theoretical states. What he fails to realize is that counter-plays exist so there will always be a high level of strategy involved.
I think some people don’t understand what a pastime is. I don’t care if someone solves chess just like I don’t care if someone uses AI to generate an image. I play chess to play it. I make art to make it. The doing is the point of it.
