If you're going to have an evil overlord, at least have an entertaining one who makes no bones about who and what he is, rather than a self-congratulating orifice who keeps maintaining that he's doing us all a favor.
In his eyes im sure he genuinely believes that to a degree. However where he dun goofed is a trap many intelligent folk fall into: underestimating other people. Plus he's too greedy lol
baal also later recognized hes not a real god, which the other system lord believed in thier own bs, musk believes in his own bs with his eugenics fetish

Ah, it is.
Still looks way nicer and serves a practice purpose by comparison.

Lol, that cybertruck tent rendering tesla put out looks nothing like the actual $3,000 one they sell:

I like the episode where he cloned himself a bunch of times. He also liked that episode.

So a go'ould would make him likeable?
billyhopscotch@midwest.social · 33 pts · 1y
It wouldn't make him less likeable, that's for sure.

not likable would be flattering for Elon. He summons a very strong urge to vomit.

In the alt-U Ba'al created, he also didn't do pointless stupid cruelty, and generally seemed competent.

Another difference:
Ba’al: ✅Brainworm
Elon: ❌️Brainworm (see RFK Jr instead)

I dunno... being an Elon slave might be more comfortable (in a white collar kinda way)?
Arbiter@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 1y
Wouldn’t being an Elon slave just put you in African diamond mines?
Ledericas@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 1y
emerald mines, the simpsons parody had jane goodall as owner of the diamond mines.

IDK, Ba'al seemed to have a pretty successful business empire on Earth.
