Elon Musk vs Asmongold as Elon is caught lying about his PoE2 account

Good grief. Glynne Shotwell lol?

Shotwell is the President and COO of SpaceX, responsible for day-to-day operations and managing all customer and strategic relations to support company growth.[20]

She oversaw the first landing of an orbital rocket's first stage on land and on an ocean platform, the first relaunch and landing of a used orbital rocket, the first controlled flyback and recovery of a payload fairing, and the first re-flight of a commercial cargo spacecraft.[13] SpaceX has a multibillion-dollar contract with NASA to deliver astronauts and science instruments to the International Space Station. On May 30, 2020, SpaceX became the first private company to launch two astronauts to Earth orbit.[21]

Shotwell has received particular praise from NASA Administrator Bill Nelson for her "phenomenal" leadership of SpaceX as it developed the Falcon 9 into the "workhorse" of the space launch sector.[22] Nelson had reportedly been concerned in 2022, after Elon Musk purchased Twitter, that it would be a distraction at SpaceX, but became more comfortable after meetings with Shotwell left him feeling reassured that she was in charge of day-to-day operations.[23][24]

Seems legit?

I sat here and watched this at 2x and that's the best I could do because it's long as shit

I didn't read this stupid thread but I got the impression that there's some kind of war between The $400 Billion Man and The Roach King

As usual, the people who hate Elon Musk have made this whole thing into yet another one of his war crimes against humanity or whatever Redditors and other retards think

But Asmon is actually kind of amused by the whole thing, he doesn't even remotely hate Elon Musk (and says this multiple times on this video) and honestly he seems a bit surprised this blew up the way it did, he doesn't even think it's a big deal because like who gives a fuck if you had someone boost you because you don't actually want to grind 90 hours a week in a video game

But the reason it blew up is because it's Elon Musk and you can see the usual people here on GAF who have severe cases of EDS immediately latching onto it to attack him because he's the world's worst war criminal and ultra-Hitler and shit

If you have this level of EDS then you need to seek mental health attention, but I guess it's funny that Elon thought no one would notice that he was playing a level 97 character because that's not even remotely plausible in the current state of PoE2

Yes, it's true that people take the chance to hate on Elon and downplay the achievements of his companies indiscriminately, which I disagree with.

On the other hand, it's also a bit concerning on how OK he is on trying to perpetuate this gaming valor lie, which is completely irrelevant, instead of trying to make himself more relatable and earn more brownie points instead.

Asmon downplayed the situation because he's hopeful one day he gets on his good side once more. It's the most rational move considering how trivial the whole situation is.

The most concerning thing is the power Elon wields, and how he is willing to use it to push his agenda forward. Still, I believe if he continues on this path he will end up finding himself alone in an island eventually.

There will come a time where he will have to bend (similar to Zuck), let's see if he is willing do it or he will just push himself to self destruction.

I assume what Elon is hardcore about is engineering. However, the smart thing to do is to hire somebody better than you, which is what he did with SpaceX once he was able to.

It's a said state of affairs when I cannot even go to a website dedicated to gaming and not read about this jerk off or one of the companies that he took over. And, just so everyone has it, here is the photo he had removed from the internet.

to be fair, a lot of teenagers had a phase like this. Me as well. The goth chicks were hot AF, tho. No regrets.
 
Well that explains the Phil Spencer worshiping

I kid, I kid


Is the host George Hotz? I remember he got hired by Elon to fix twitter then quit shortly after. He was really trying hard to keep that chat civil.
Yeah that’s him. I lost respect for him for being a bootlicker. I mean he got paid for 4 weeks of achieving nothing except preventing Elon from being further embarrassed here, but yeah. Dude promised to “fix search” and do a ton of front end fixes and couldn’t do basic shit, and then quit before being fired.
He’s a smart guy, but it’s another case of someone being good at x doesn’t mean you’re amazing at y.

It actually makes me think he might have been the one to have Elon’s ear, saying “the stack is crazy,” Elon repeats it and neither one has an idea what that could mean in specific terms for twitter, they were just talking shit.

We already know how this ends. Operation Doomsday with Bogdan in a submarine off the coast of California.

Sam Harris on Mahers random club (re Musk):

"behaving in a way thats reckless and unethical"

"fucking identifiable people over massively and he doesnt care"

"he will put an identifiable civilian on blast in front of 200 million people, knowing that it will completely fuck over their lives"

"he does not care if he defames someone in public, who used to be a friend" (re himself and Elon being friends at some point)

"the guy is doing ketamine and on twitter all day long"

From 1h:03m onwards

 
She actually has a degree in mechanical engineering and applied mathematics, which actually makes her more qualified on paper than Musk to run a rocket company, since he has neither.

Just unfortunate she doesn't have that visionary genius maverick thing going for her - or she would have created SpaceX and Tesla. Musk taught himself rocket science by the way.

...just to reiterate, as the point seems to be lost on some of the homies. Musk did not create Tesla. He was an early investor. He later sued the actual founders so he could call himself a founder of Tesla. The case was settled out of court, because I assume the actual founders decided it wasn't worth their while. But yes, he's so petty. By the way.

I think this is not that strong argument people think it is. It is reasonable to say that the stewardship after that “incident” is what sees Tesla’s valuation being what it is today. Even back then there is an under-appreciation of what happened. Like Jobs contested Apple in the John Sculley / Gil Amelio days, a great idea is not 90% of the work or guaranteed success, there is a lot of hard work and grit required to turn it into a viable commercial endeavour. He was running the company with them and then on his own and the company grew, by a lot.

Aside that SpaceX achieved even more and similar accusations cannot be made. Starlink as well. We’ll see what happens with xAI.

That part where Elon replies to be email says it all. He is so convinced of his own superior intellect that rather than entertain the idea he is being manipulated he would rather respond like a child.

Did SpaceX catch a rocket? Yes. Is that amazing? Hell yes it is! Did Elon have anything to do with that? Hell no he didn't.

He did not invent any of that or contribute anything to the technological achievements of the company - or any of the companies he's "leading". He's just taking the credit for it, because people let him.

The amazing engineers and scientists working for SpaceX did all the work.
Nailed it it one

Not even saying Elon is a total idiot, I'm sure there are things he's great at and he has the funds to utilize his decent skills but people attribute the achievement of those he hire to him.

Not at all. I just have more respect for men and women who create things than the people who just sit around complaining about people who create and accomplish things.

All while they try to downplay them as just being lucky.

It's not luck, it requires a ton of hard work that isn't visible to everyone, just the end product is visible.

Hardwork is the starting line of success, and sucess on the level of Elon is from working a few times harder while being 10000x more lucky.
My hardwork made it so i could retire by 30s my luck made it so my grandkids can retire at 0

Leave Elon alone Devils!

Even if he WAS cheating(which I doubt, obviously) you gotta respect the outreach. A guy like that trying to co-opt GG into something bigger by becoming an influencer himself. The man is doing the Lord’s work. If you don’t think he is striving for the good of all mankind, and if you don’t think that SpaceX, Tesla, and especially Starlink, are an absolute good and useful tool for mankind, then I don’t know what to tell you. You’ve been sipping the bourgeoisie Kool-Aid. Sorry to tell you. The man FREED X. Can we please return to a time when gamers cared about platforms being free(freedom of speech, not money free like x-box communism-pass)?

And before you ask, yes I’m fat, but I’ve got bare handed skills you can’t imagine.

I’m not gonna insult Asmon for causing all this. I respect the man too much for that. I’m a fucking HUGE fan. But damn is he looking fat to yall lately? Jk bro. You good, just leave them pimps alone. Game respect game know what I’m sayin?

Musk arrived less than a year after Tesla was founded and four years before their first car was launched and is the reason the company is what it is today. You only have to look at his other achievements to know this is the case. But even wikipedia can help you with this. I don't think there's any businessman whose singular vision is more linked with his companies than Musk. I know this is hard for you guys.

What Elon achievements?
He it’s not an engineer. He didn’t have and input in Tesla or rockets. Why are we not hearing interviews with engineers?
He is a rich kid with mind for business. That’s it.

Musk is a weird guy but I have to imagine anyone else with that level of wealth is too. It’s probably hard to not become a little detached from reality when you’re in that position. Musk is just maybe more noticeable about it because he’s less subtle about desperately wanting people to like him.
