I fully support Elon suing. I'd love to see the kind of stuff that would come out of discovery that he would never want anyone to see.

I'd like to believe that there is a law with tensile strength to bind him but we as a society don't really have any mechanism to address the kind of corruption that an infinitesimal fragment of his wealth can cause.

I think he's too big to prosecute. I think Trump is America's mask off moment and we are now openly rearranging the machinery of government to turn us all into sausages to be served up to oligarchs.

The problem is that they want something like slavery but they don't want you to have a house or food. They want the government to keep the slaves for them. Elon personally is willing to spend a functionally unlimited amount of money to ensure that he gets to be king of Earth.

The oligarchs are crazy, but they're not stupid.

Mantzy81@aussie.zone · 58 pts · 2d (1 reply)

I for one will enjoy him trying to prove that the documentary is libelous.

Of course this thin-skinned, whiny, barrel-chested man-baby bitch doesn't like a documentary about him.

Don't forget bald.

popekingjoe@lemmy.world · 34 pts · 2d (5 replies)

I can't rag on the bald, for I am also bald.

Though unlike this chud, I embrace it and shave what does grow off. And I look better for it.

Fuck you Elon.

roofuskit@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 2d (2 replies)

I would only rag on him, because of his expensive hair plugs. You know he's ashamed of it so it's about needling an insecure shithead.

skulblaka@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 2d

expensive hair plugs

Y'know... male gender affirming care.

he also had a BOTCHED penis implant surgery, which permanently mangled it, hence the IVF CHILDREN.

eah@programming.dev · 3 pts · 2d

I've always thought that cosmetic work which makes you look younger is dishonest. It's a way to cheat and make people subconsciously think you've got the same capabilities of a young person when you're actually going nearly senile. If Musk looked his age, he wouldn't be nearly as respected. If congresspeople had to look their age with gray hair and bald spots, we'd be voting them out long before they become old farts.

Musk is an idiot. A fucking moron.

He’s constantly insisting that he’s so smart (which btw is something morons do, not geniuses).

He keeps dropping hints that he’s an evil genius that stole the election, while publicly saying he didn’t.

I think he did so something shady during the election that we don’t know about, but not in the way he keeps implying.

He wants us to think that he’s capable of “beaming votes in from space” so people will think he’s cool.

I’m pretty sure he doesn’t have any friends.

YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today · 14 pts · 2d

If you're not born in the billion club, it's hard to conceptualize for most. This dude probably had actual friends pre PayPal. Now he is just desperate for recognition thinking people online are a proper substitution.

Discovery should start immediately if someone threatens to sue. So much of this bullshit is just bullying by rich Nazis. You threaten to sue open up the books you parasites.

I didn't know there was a doco about this sad, nazi loser

I won't watch it, but I am glad that he's upset about it and I hope he gets his fee-fees hurt so bad he dies

huppakee@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 2d

Him being upset makes it more likely I'll watch it. I watched The Apprentice (more a movie based on a true story than a traditional documentenary) and despite my dislike of Trump I really enjoyed watching it. Mostly because I (as s European) didn't know a thing about him until he first ran for president. Have no clue whether i will enjoy watching this in the same way, but if it might I will watch it a doco about this sad, nazi loser. No doubt.

jaybone@lemmy.zip · 23 pts · 2d

Hagiography… there’s a word I had to look up.

If Musk hates this, it makes me want to watch it. But then I’m not sure if I can bring myself to watch four hours of Musk. This lawsuit is almost like a marketing stunt.

some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org · 16 pts · 2d (1 reply)

When does this rich child not abuse the justice system. It’s expected. What a chud.

Meanwhile, if he wanted respect and admiration, there are plenty of things he could do with his money to earn them. Feeding people, providing shelter, paying for social services. It’s all within reach, but he’d rather sue for people explaining how he actually behaves.

Making anyone do what you want with law suits is the achievement you unlock when you have 1,000 million dollars.

A four hour documentary about the guy's life sounds like a summary of all the video essays I've watched about him over the years. I doubt it will bring up anything I didn't know already. Anyone trying to educate people about psychopathic billionaires has my support but I fear this will criticize the person rather than the system that enabled him.

moldy_rice@piefed.keyboardvagabond.com · 1 pts · 2d (4 replies)

Lol I don't think most people would watch video essays about one batshit fascist billionaire over years.

Airfried@piefed.social · 1 pts · 1d (3 replies)

The overwhelming majority of the internet praised the guy as the second coming of Christ when I was watching most of these. We're talking about Pre-Biden Musk.

moldy_rice@piefed.keyboardvagabond.com · 1 pts · 1d (2 replies)

The Internet's majority of users are bots.

The overwhelming majority of people who live on Earth don't know who he is and don't care.

Of those that have an opinion, the majority hate him.

Maybe this is some kind of troll? Is this really not made by him and people will pay lots of money to watch a video of Elon getting glazed?

Musk is a sack of shit that doesn't deserve nice things. I hope he, as the saying goes, dies mad about this.

Well, this was of its time, and tbh I was fairly surprised to still find it, but every time I hear about him, I’m reminded of that interview with his father, and this song.

Mulligrubs@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d

I would wager that he's going to profit off of this film, and this is his PR campaign for it. "Oh no, please don't make me money".

it could be a totally legit film made by sincere people, but if you give me 2:1 I would take that bet

SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d

That's just going to pack the theaters and make more money for the producers.
