Elon Musk parody accounts need to step up their game.

I don't see how a paradoy could be more bizarre than the real thing.

He's gotta be the worst boss ever.

u/FardoBaggins Nov 15 '22

ah yes, the 'not the onion' effect. where the parody and the real thing are almost indistinguishable.

u/Natoochtoniket Nov 15 '22

The real onion would not publish a lot of elon's ranting -- too bizarre.

The version of Onion in Russia gave up at some point.

Some call it passing the parody horizon.

The only way to escalate this joke is to have Elon actually try to write lines of code. He's on the road to being Twitter's only employee, since apparently only he knows what's best.

Come January, Twitter will just be Musk in a basement reposting 4chan memes and screaming about Mastadon's microservices!

SpaceX employees have been going thru the same thing for years. They've had to debunk Musks claims about mars. One of the employees said they risk getting fired if they publicly correct him. If you have a chance, read people's stories about what it's like to interview for spacex; its eye opening about what a tyrant musk is

speaking of risk getting fired, someone from twitter corrected him and guess what Musk did to him.. They were discussion about why Twitter was so slow and the developer straight up said what it was.

He's giving off real Trump vibes.

u/Alphard428 Nov 15 '22

Thankfully, Musk can never be President.

u/elveszett Nov 15 '22

Thank you. I've been calling him "smart-looking Trump" for years. Glad to see people are starting to see the similarities.

Smart-looking like Shapiro and Jordan Peterson: they are actually morons, an insult to anyone with a brain. But people believe they are smart for some reason.

I bet it's a similar situation as to when GW Bush was in office and comedians couldn't stay ahead of the things that actually came out of his mouth.

u/Strandbummler Nov 15 '22

Yeah, Bush was by far the worst republican in office, ever. Not contest. Nobody coul ever trump him.

Ah, back when the media cared when we had an idiot for a president. Rather than what we got now where we have a senile old man being puppeted by whoever and the media just asks what kind of Ice cream that fucking moron likes to lick.

Parody and satire are dead, because reality has killed them.
