With his fragile ego, I’d spend the entire time asking if he could smell that awful smell. I’d ask him to check the bottoms of his shoes, drawing more and more attention and increasing his discomfort, all the while pretending that I’ve never heard of Elon Musk.

Putting this tactic in my back pocket for uncomfortable social interactions.

The only way to survive uncomfortable social interactions is to become one with them.

I'd like to think that I'd find a quick easy way to Luigi him but I know I'd just stare and look around for his security and be questioning my life choices that I was in the same room.

Why the fuck are you spending so much money getting to a dead planet when you could be spending money to save a living one?

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There’s no magnetic field. What’s his long term plan there?

My guess is it’s a billionaire “I wanna” thing and it goes no further than that.

I would ask him who he is. Then when he gets upset that I don't recognize him and he gives me his name I say "hmmm, never heard of you."

Watch is ego implode.

I’d slap him. I don’t fucking care, I’m dying from societal neglect and welfare failings and like literally 0.00001% of his wealth could fix all my problems, you have to be inherently selfish to hoard all that wealth (not to mention be inherently evil to get it in the first place).

(this is a joke, I wouldn’t put it past Musk for suing for verbal assault or something)

"What happened to your concern about climate change?"

Followed by

"You've completely debased yourself by supporting the one guy who will destroy the planet. And for what? A slight to your ego because Biden gave you the cold shoulder once? You are a huge thin-skinned bitch and will be remembered as one"

[–] funkforager@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 years ago

Shortest answer is always money. The richest man got much richer and plans to get richer yet after this.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/economy/elon-musk-put-277-million-into-the-election-he-s-200-billion-richer-this-year/ar-AA1vTrEZ

Elon Musk’s net worth has climbed by more than $200 billion in 2024, a massive increase in the same year that the world’s richest person spent at least $277 million backing Donald Trump and other Republican candidates. 

The bulk of the increase, more than $170 billion, has come since Election Day.

[–] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You've completely debased yourself by supporting the one guy who will destroy the planet.

He's going to make millions and get disproportionate power in government that he never would have gotten otherwise.

[–] Person264@lemmings.world 16 points 2 years ago
[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago

He's also attached himself to a fickle narcissist with a long history of throwing people away like tissues when they become slightly inconvenient, even at the cost of long-term value.

Musk knows that if Trump ditches him, he loses a hundred billion + in stock paper value, pretty much immediately. That's a lot of leverage and a lot of reason to stay on his good side.

It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

If my reaction the first time I saw a cybertruck IRL is any indication, I'd scream.

[–] snekerpimp@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago

Mine was point and laugh, but I would react the same if seeing him IRL.

[–] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just prerend you dont know him, and just refer to him as this "new older intern"

I'd just leave myself. Words mean nothing to fascists; I'd be wasting my breath and sitting at his table.

I would literally pretend I had absolutely no clue who he was or any familiarity with any of his "achievements" or why they're "important". It would be pretty funny to see him try to respond to that.

"Can I have a dollar?"

If he says yes, and give me a dollar, I'd wait for him to put his wallet away and then ask,

"Can I have another dollar?"

And then do this on repeat until he stops.

Move my seat behind him and flick paper footballs at the back of his head.

[–] vivavideri@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lean over and whisper in his ear, "everyone hates you."

Something that would just..utterly fuck his brain for a while. If there was something that would motivate him into an Ebenezer scrooge character arc, I'd be so down.

If I had stealth techniques available to me, i would consider it.

"How was it servicing trump?"

[–] Aeri@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The only question I'd have for someone like him is.

"Do you think even the worst person can change...? That everybody can be a good person, if they just try?" And then I'd try my hand at fighting him after I got through the Sans Undertale speech.
