Over the years, Phony Stark went from some sort of [anti]hero to straight up supervillain. I guess kinda like Robert Downey Jr. from Iron Man to Dr. Doom.

Do you mean empathy? Apathy is more like indifference

Nah, he decided thah hes dedicated Elon-Marketing team was not useful, he could do it better himself! So he fired them sometimes IIRC in 2018.

The rest is history :-)

They were wondering if it’d be possible to fire 500,000. Maybe from one of the smaller companies where no one would notice, like one of the cab companies?

Zorg: fire 1,000 000.

This is very insulting, Dr. Doom is an intelligent and effective ruler, please do not draw such an unfair comparison between him and Musk. Fictional character feelings matter.

Supervillains have some sort of charisma. People love to hate them. When a Bond villain is on screen, it’s like oh, this guy is cool… if Musk was in a movie it would be like wow, please skip this shit, this guy is boring and creepy. Musk is far from authentically charming. He tries though, and it’s nauseating. I admit that the deranged tangerine baboon has some sort of natural charisma - Musk does not. His special facial expressions are atrocious. His attempts at humor are embarrassingly bad. He has very little social awareness. To top it all off, despite being an off putting and repellent petty, immature and clueless ignoramus, he clearly radiates that he think he is the absolute best. So, his new sycophant relationship with Trump is perfect. He’d be like the #2 or 3 evil henchmen, kind of a side character, who gets knocked off 2/3 through the film and the crowd is relieved.

When they realize he is done, there will be a battle for the position of his successor, so don’t put your hopes up.

They looked for one, spent 4 years, didn’t find one. He lost back to back popular votes. If they thought they had someone more popular, they would have used them.

Ya, there’s no successor.
Trump is a one-off, and his popularity and spellbinding cult effect on 50% of Americans will baffle intelligentsia for millennia.

They’ve spent 80 years looking for a successor to Hitler and never found one.

Sometimes building a cult around an individual doesn’t work out long term for a movement.

I don’t know, I think they got pretty close. Trump standing out there in front saying you’ll never have to vote again… Even now it’s not a sure thing and he’s not going to make it in.

Hitler wasn’t this magical evil mastermind that just appeared in a vacuum. The fascists were huge party of people that helped him rise to power.

Trump won. One day he will lose and that is when these others will crawl out of the shadow again. How would you like “Musk 2028”? :D

As an imminent Harris/Walz voter, this comment shocks me. It’s 2016 all over again and I’m realizing people are living in a Hillary bubble. Acting like this shit is in the bag. It is SO NOT IN THE BAG. Not even fucking close.

Now I’m not going to spam a bunch of voting links and opine on how it’s up to you to make a difference and make it so. M

This bubble is serious and I’m very afraid of what kind of reality is going to be crashing around all around this country and the world when an also shocked Trump sees the results roll in election night and he is now the new King of America (in his eyes). “They really do love me. God has chosen me. I am supreme.”

You fools. You don’t realize that this is so within the margin of error it’s a totally real and near possibility.

Trump is not done until it’s done.

IT DIDN’T BACKFIRE! THAT’S A LIE!

Elon musk pointed a gun at his own head and fired, that’s not backfiring.
But some people may be surprised that somehow it wasn’t a good idea.
But I’m sure Trump is left there laughing. Maybe he is going down, but at least he can take some people with him.
