Elon Musk is the epitome of that "Men will do anything but go to therapy" meme

Elon is like walking life lesson of many things - like “maybe money doesn’t always guarantee the happiness”, “maybe don’t do too much ketamine” etc lol

I thought of it when I saw a boy asking his mom “What does Elon do?” in the subway lol

Such a good question kid, I actually wanna know the answer!

"Maybe supposedly high IQ people can be really stupid"

Here's a funny thought: as for me, I think I'm doing alright. Not perfect. Lots of things I wish were different in my personal sphere. However I would not trade places with Elom for a trillion dollars. And in some wishy-washy handwavey sense, he allegedly is worth that much! Still true.

Not very many such cases.

It's bad enough to be at the emotional state when you would go to AI with that prompt, but being public about it is pathetic. He's either actively cultivating an incel following or is completely lacking in self-awareness.

I have a feeling that it started as a latter (lacking self awareness) and realized his actions generates an insane engagement from them…

I recall he recognizes him to be autistic so lacking self awareness is not a total surprise ig…?

People who self-diagnose on the internet as being austic are frequently just inconsiderate assholes.

I actually have empathy for him after reading the NYTimes piece about his father. His brain is permanently broken from such a fucked up childhood.

Soooo trueeee!

Like it feels so absurd that any adult is bragging about his IQ like that’s the proof of their human net worth lol

(Not saying IQ is useless fwiw

Love seeing Matt Y dunk on Elon like that.

Some men are just begging to be posterized, they are born with a silver Jordan in their mouths, and Elon checks that box thoroughly.

I dunno. I kinda feel like if Elon Musk COULD have a normal relationship with a woman he'd be doing it by now. I have a friend sort of like that - never married but has gone through more girlfriends than I can count. He seems to genuinely want a rewarding relationship with a woman, a "true companion", but to my eyes he's already had at least 3 and walked away from each of them. He just doesn't know how to do it....

I love that the “what men actually want” trad example is… Miranda Kerr, a past Victoria’s Secret angel and girlboss skincare company founder. Really serving housewife normalcy, for sure.

I thought that, too! Their dream trad wife made a fortune by dressing in lingerie for a mass produced catalogue. Back in the day, young boys who couldn't access porn could always steal their mom's Victoria's Secret catalogue. I suppose these days that does seem wholesome.

I wonder a good chunk of “repeal the 19th” ppl are the ones *fantasizing* about domestic abuse but cannot do it bc they cannot date anyone…

The Fae discourse and "sighs in toddler" is gold, Jerry, gold!

As for Sydney Sweeney, she and her team knew exactly what questions were coming (they are often given a list and there's a back and forth on what to cut and what to keep) and gave approval on the final cut/edit that went out. Annoying leftist as that woman was, Sydney was not ambushed by that question. Her face when answering is the greatest meme in the past few years though, so I'll take it :)

That’s true too.

This is yet another reason why Frasier, in S6 E21: When a Man Loves Two Women, would have been more correct to pick Cassandra rather than Faye. Faye is an invisible fairy person, while Cassandra is a figure in Greek mythology who tells true prophesies. Also, as Frasier's dad says "you should have gone with Cassandra, she was hotter. If you want to talk about artsy fartsy stuff like you do with Faye, you always have Niles!"

“Billionaire industrialist can’t get a girlfriend so designs a sex bot instead” is such an well-trodden science fiction plot trope that I’m astonished to see Elon Musk doing it in real life,

I mean, does he know what happens at the end of _Ex Machina_ ?

Deepseek R1 helpfully suggests _Stepford Wives_ or _Blade Runner 2049_ as analogous to Musk’s current situation. (I would have come up with those examples, too)

Part of the problem here is that an AI sexbot like Ani will know the plot of all those movies.

I encountered Lori years ago and couldn't believe what I was reading. She seemed to hate her husband and get off on forcing herself to have sex with him and cater to him. Like through gritted teeth. I always found her more of a kink account than some serious religious, traditional wife. However, CHH is probably right and Lori is utterly serious about her miserable life.

I promise every one. The porn star sex stops when you have 8 minutes and three l+ children you have to get it over with before they wake up. Also “sex or bed” is a real choice after kids
