    So far, I always had my doubts about this guy. For sure, being mad rich attracts attention, fake criticism and lies. So it is hard to build an opinion on someone like this, since, I don't know much about rockets, nor batteries, or the intrincacies of social media.

    Still, I know a bit about cars, and I always had the feeling this guy was a professional scammer, and somewhat of a Tony Stark roleplayer. It is true that his take on free speech seems correct, but I have BIG doubts that he is applying any of it.

    All in all, I don't think it is possible to build an opinion about him on whatever criticism or chronicles you find on the internet, because little to none of it has direct backing or proof of being real, and there are way too many interests and politics involved.

    What I know A LOT about (more than I'd like to admit) videogames. And he has claimed (and is somewhat praised for) being one of the top players of a couple of very similar and hard role playing games.

    It was already hard to believe in the beginning, and truth is, he is obviously and most definetly not. Even if we took the "genius" narrative and gave him all the excuses, just by watching him play, there is just no way whatsoever, far from it. An accurate analogy would be a deeply unathletic overweight person claiming to be an elite footballer. You can always think he may still be a good strategist or something, but then they are just unable to grab a ball accordingly, or to run even, despite playing on an elite team and having a match built around themselves where the teammates support him, and being on a Superbowl final. (yes he went that far)

    The direct proof of lies are clear and out there.

    i couldn't care less about him playing video games, or if he is good or not, hell I don't even like those videogames. The reason is what bugs me. It is such a deliberate lie and it goes such a great length for something so apparently trivial, that i wonder if he did it for stroking his ego, or to fuel this Tony Stark image he is making of himself.

    In any case, I already had deep doubts about him being legit, and for me, despite this being such an unimportant matter, shows how untrustable his pseudoperson is. If he does all these lies and schemes for just a videogame claim, what will he not do for money or the control of the masses.

    This react video does a nice summary and commentary that maybe will help you understand the videogame technicalities of it.

    The whole Elon Musk persona was formed a build to be the cool Tony Stark kind of character it seems from major importance that the sheep accept him as a cool guy. There could also be ego involved but that's not the main motivation here since Elon was placed where he is and he seems to be the Key player in the Transhuman timeline.

    It's so funny to see him visit these popular podcasts to please everyone as the smart cool billionaire - that in reality he isnt.

    Not meaning to take away from the fun trolling posts on this thread but I have to agree. If X is supposed to be the last bastion of freedom of speech on the internet, why was Max Igan's account banned for the last three months and only being reactivated today? I think it's today, could be tomorrow. Of course, Max's main focus is Israel and chronicling their long list of ongoing crimes against humanity. They're still censoring those they deem dangerous and today anyone calling out the tiny hats is deemed dangerous and a threat to the system.



    Here's a troll for Elon,

    So Tesla does a demo of a car that climbs vertical, stops at the top of a loop, FLIES DOWN, then jumps some trucks doing a kick flip, and casually breaks the 1 second zero to sixty acceleration barrier...

    Okay, that's some cool ****. Yes, we argue over the commercial practicality, but you've got to admit from just the sci-fi tech demo sense, that's wild.

    So I scroll through the interwebs and the conservatives I know are gleeful and making jokes about flying cars, and the smart people are thinking through possible applications, limitations, and ways this wild **** could or could not get used in real life. The really smart people are arguing about engineering, but regardless everybody is like "damn, that's cool."

    Meanwhile all the comments from terminally online liberals are crying about Elon's politics. All they can do is focus on one dude disagreeing with them. They can't get past it. All they can do is minimize. They have no imagination. No excitement. It's just so sad. They're so SMALL.

    So the conversations are like-
    "Wow they just did some Matchbox stuff with an actual car."
    "That's nothing. You're stupid. Elon supports Germany's AfD party. I am offended. You should have more critical thinking like me."

    And sadly that's a paraphrase not an exaggeration. I just saw that one on Ron F's page. :D

    I hate to be the one to burst the Tesla bubble today, but the spectacular “flight” we witnessed at the Roadster reveal needs a little context. The car is carrying around 250kg of compressed air, plus the weight of the tanks, valves and thrusters needed to contain and release it.

    Based on the published figures, that gives it roughly 1.5–2 seconds of maximum thrust before the system needs to be refilled.

    In short, it's a gimmick.

    Of course the flying Tesla Roadster is a gimmick but that sort of misses the point, the tech flex behind it isn't.

    Tesla's bulk business is about advanced technology from EV to self drive, but decided to create the most ridiculous manual drive supercar. Supercars are a gimmick,almost by definition, based on how wild can you make them.

    The gimmick that can make the car literally fly, briefly, can make it corner like no other supercar and accelerate, literally like a dragster on a test track. It's got nothing to do with flying continuously, but having a car that will outperform every Lambo, Ferrari or McLaren with technology that they cannot replicate because it requires experience from space launches and computation that they don't have now nor will in future.

    So Porsche, Bugatti, Aston Martin just became legacy prestige brands, like Rolex, Richard Mille or Patek Philippe. These cars celebrate the bygone age and the baroque, physical complexity of the internal combustion engine just as mechanical watches do for non digital, complex time-keeping mechanisms. But hey won't be faster anymore than a mechanical watch keeps better time than a Casio. They are now, de facto, mobile jewelry and no longer supercars with superlative performance. And this affects their ability to market the bulk business of mainstream European internal combustion engine cars. It's the end of an era of industrial era manufacturing.

    • BREAKING: Elon Musk BUYS INTO CNN...Hosts FREAK As Musk's BILLION DOLLAR BET On Skydance REVEALED:

    I told you it would happen. Sure enough, Elon Musk is putting roughly a billion dollars into Skydance, the parent company of both CNN and CBS! The investment, reported today by Semafor and confirmed across outlets, lands right as Christiane Amanpour announced she is leaving CNN after 43 years. Talent is clearly running scared at both networks, but I’ll explain why Musk’s capital and interest in these companies is actually a good sign for the future of American media.

    The news comes just as Kara Swisher, a longtime tech journalist and CNN contributor who once promised to leave if MAGA voices took over, is floating the idea of jail time for Elon. On a recent podcast she claimed he might already be in prison under a Kamala Harris presidency and that Democrats will come for him hard if they retake Congress. Musk’s reply was direct: “Live by the sword, die by the sword. Sounds like Swisher really wants to go to prison.” Talking about ticking off the new boss. Kara may want to pack up her things fast if she hasn’t already.

    Meanwhile, major new developments in the Ilhan Omar saga. In her first interview since federal agents raided her DC home, Omar sat down with a very friendly Chris Hayes on MS NOW—and still managed to implode in real time. When pressed on the long-standing allegation that she married her brother, she called it “insane,” then answered the follow-up about any kernel of truth with the carefully hedged line: “Not to my knowledge.”

    In today’s episode I’m sharing my interview with longtime attorney and investigative reporter Scott Johnson of the Minnesota Power Line blog. Johnson has followed Ilhan Omar for ten years and was one of the original reporters to piece together the evidence around her suspicious marriage to her alleged brother. He joins us with some stunning intel.

    I trust Elon Musk as much as I trust Donald Trump - not at all.




    https://substack.com/@michielkoen/note/c-367095413

    News flash: Elon Musk's entire bloodline reads like a Satanic fever dream.

    His grandfather? Arrested in Canada in 1940 as a leader of Technocracy Incorporated, a movement pushing for a society run by engineers and data instead of people.

    Literally the system his grandson is building in front of your eyes.

    His father? Had two kids with his own stepdaughter, a girl he'd helped raise since she was four.

    His mother? A demonic vessel of a woman who looks like she bathes in adrenochrome and whispers incantations over synthetic embryos.



    And Elon? At least fourteen kids with four women, all but one confirmed through IVF and surrogacy.

    Even his reproduction is manufactured. Bloodlines and breeding programs, alive and well.

    Now look at what he's building.

    Tesla: the robotaxis, the humanoid robots, the chips. 
SpaceX: the rockets, the satellites, and since February, xAI and its data centers.
xAI: Grok, the white-collar bots that take your job, the platform you talk on, and X Money to pay you after they do.
Neuralink: the chip in your skull.

    Your car, your work, your money, your speech, your brain. One man. One stack.

    And you never question it, because every few years there's a Mars mission, a flying Roadster, or some other bs to sell it as progress.

    This year he became the first trillionaire on Earth.

    In 2022 he walked a red carpet in a suit of armor called "Devil's Champion," with a Baphomet on his chest and an inverted cross between its horns.

    He brought his mom. Then he made it his profile picture.

    Rosemary's Baby meets the Hollywood Casting Couch.

    And half the world still thinks Captain Brain-Chip is here to save them.

    I do believe Pris would have given me a good tongue-lashing for posting this one.

    They Want You Jobless and Compliant: Elon Musk’s AI Utopia Is the Ultimate Control Grid

    Fact checked by The People's Voice Community
    October 29, 2026



    Machines will do all the work in the near future, according to Elon Musk, who claimed that goods and services will become nearly free, and the government will send everyone a check large enough to live like a celebrity.

    “AI+Robots will be able to do everything, resulting in universal high income,” Musk posted on X. “Work will be optional.”

    The response from Michael Burry, the investor made famous by “The Big Short,” was blunt and immediate: “False. There will be revolution first.”

    The exchange captures a growing fault line in the debate over artificial intelligence. Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is selling an end-state of post-scarcity abundance. His critics are focused on the road to get there—and whether it runs through mass unemployment, social unrest, and a dangerous concentration of power.

    Musk’s Utopia: “Everyone Can Have a Penthouse”

    Musk’s argument, which he has repeated across X, Davos, and Tesla shareholder meetings, rests on a simple premise: AI and robots will produce so much stuff that scarcity itself becomes obsolete.

    “Actually, AI/Robotics will mean everyone can have a penthouse if they want,” Musk wrote in April, responding to a user skeptical of his claims. “The output of goods & services will be several orders of magnitude higher than today’s economy.”

    He distinguishes his concept of “universal high income” (UHI) from traditional universal basic income (UBI). UBI, in Musk’s framing, is a survival check. UHI is a luxury check. “Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI,” he posted. “AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.”

    At Davos in January, Musk framed AI and robotics as “the pathway to abundance,” arguing they could eliminate poverty and raise living standards globally. He has gone as far as saying saving for retirement will become “irrelevant” because wealth will be so abundant.

    The Pushback: “Who Owns the Robots?”

    Burry’s “revolution first” warning reflects a broader anxiety that Musk’s timeline is backwards. If AI displaces workers at scale before the abundance arrives, the result may be instability rather than leisure.

    Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, has warned that AI could exacerbate wealth inequality and increase the risk of internal strife—even civil war—if gains are not redistributed. He has argued that redistribution in the AI era must go beyond money, because “uselessness and money may not be a great combination.”

    JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has offered a more optimistic view, suggesting AI could eventually shorten the workweek to 3.5 days. But he has also cautioned that AI could replace jobs so quickly that it sends shockwaves through labor markets, requiring coordinated efforts to reskill workers and support those displaced.

    Economist Sanjeev Sanyal, a member of India’s Economic Advisory Council, rejected Musk’s inflation logic outright. “AI and robots will also not produce goods and services in excess of money or demand that there will be no inflation,” he wrote on X. “Both of these are classic mistakes… Elon Musk’s universal high income will bankrupt any government that attempts it.”

    Social Media: Skepticism Amid the Hype

    On X, the reaction to Musk’s abundance theory is decidedly mixed.

    One user, responding to Musk’s penthouse claim, raised a question of power: “Everyone else would then suddenly be the mercy of those who control the technology (AI/robotics). Power will be owning AI/Robotics technology.”

    Another asked: “If jobs are gone + working for money becomes scarce, how long before the UHI is used to control us?”

    A third offered a more philosophical objection: “Scarcity must exist for abundance to have meaning; you only recognise abundance by comparing it to scarcity.”

    The skepticism extends beyond social media. A commentary published by The Asian Banker argued that Musk’s vision confuses technological capacity with political reality. “Technology may create abundance, but technology cannot decide who owns it, who controls it or who gets to benefit from it,” wrote Sertan Ayçiçek. “The cheaper production becomes, the more valuable ownership may become.”

    The Context: Tesla’s Robot Ambitions

    Musk’s predictions are not entirely abstract. Tesla is developing Optimus, a humanoid robot that the company claims is ready for mass production, though no timeline or pricing has been disclosed.

    At Tesla’s shareholder meeting, Musk claimed Optimus would eventually perform surgery “with beyond-human precision” and that robots could one day support bases on the Moon and Mars.

    That commercial context matters. Musk’s personal wealth and Tesla’s valuation are tied to the success of AI and robotics. Burry, who has said he is shorting Tesla, described Musk on X as “an American treasure but also a desperately incentivized futurist.”
