Just let stupid people kill themselves in peace. The press doesn't even talk about it anymore... I guess journalists noticed he's just dying, or he got out of money to buy attention.
My vision is still fucked up from when my eyes rolled to the back of my head from hearing my Grok attached overweight uncle say we're all going to live to 120.
My tin foil hat theory is it's to push these boomers and X'ers further into stock market greed because they're now scrambling to secure retirement savings for a few decades they hadn't planned for.
I don't know why people are mad about it, but the shit he's doing is hilariously clownish.
In general though I completely agree if he figures out something real that can actually be used by the poors (unlikely and also partly why everyone hates him) then that would indeed be good
I have this idea for a dystopian story where we've figured out aging and can keep people alive forever, but it's only done so that people can continue to work in order to pay off their debts, and only once you've done so are you allowed to die. And the people who administer the anti-aging treatment are also the ones who hold the notes on your debt. I'll get around to writing it one day. I'm sure it'll just be a copy of Running Man or something.
I like it, do it! Have you read Altered Carbon? Has some similar themes. I loved the book, might be some good inspiration. I’ll read yours when it’s out, love that genre :).

Just killed a god-like being (1000+NB) and had to give up my alchemy. AITA for being jealous of my brother for getting his body back and keeping his alchemy?

Anyway, that's 7 years, not 5.

If true, how does that profit Elon Musk? Don't think that Cunt does anything productive except for himself.

I mean name a stock more divorced from reason and driven by greed than TSLA right now. Dude literally has more to lose than anyone.

What's keeping Tesla stocks afloat are the cult retail investors who believe Elon is a god who could do no wrong.

I will never understand why people are so mad about him trying to slow his aging.
"Hey fuck you, why are you trying to not die. You should give up like the rest of us."
Like damn I wish every billionaire was like him, we might actually get some decent funding for anti-aging research.
