The day this guy ODs will be one of the most important days in modern history.

This might be a little sadistic, but I want to see him crash out and have a huge public mental breakdown first. Live TV preferably.

He streamed himself playing PoE2 on a plane, listening to his ex-wife's music, as hundreds of people messaged him saying he's going to die alone and he deserves it. He just sat there in silence

Oh, and he was repeatedly dying to the first boss and trying to block people one by one, but any actual gamer would know you can just hide the chat

I think this was after the Michigan supreme Court race failure. If he was anyone else that would have been the saddest shit, but I'd love to see if he can drill deeper than rock bottom

That was a good day of entertainment. He's such a sad sad pathetic man.

If only we're that lucky. Like, I'll even take "caught in a hot mic" trashing what few fans he's got left while in a k hole. After he dies we've got to commit to a global effort to never allow his legacy to be white washed. Make him Benedict Arnold... did some good things, but was an unforgivable jackass otherwise. Maybe we can make his name synonymous with something anti-social? I dunno what that should be but we did it with Rick Santorum and it should be easy to do with Musk.

I don't think he'll ever lose his hardcore fans. They are like children who hope that mr.beast will give them money

Speaking as someone in Europe

The US has a major effect on the rest of the world. Elon is a big concern even if you don't live in the US

..and you don't wanna see what's gonna happen aa the US progresses more into fascism and sets their sights for outside their borders. Hell, they've already done that with Canada and Greenland, even

I mean, even look what he's tried in Germany, between Ukraine/Russia, he seems to have some major influence in China, South Africa... he's the richest man in the world, not just America.

I agree. "One of the most important day in modern history" though? That's a bit exceptionalistic IMO.

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

That's fair yeah. I'd say it'd depend upon the definition of modern history, but unless it's fairly narrow and recent, then yeah. Certainly not within the accepted definition of modern history

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

he's been trying to influence elections outside the US too. his companies operate around the world and influence communication and transportation, and he has incentives to influence laws in other countries to lax regulations and kill competitors, including public transport and internet access. he's a nazi who operates pretty much everywhere.

most important days in history is a little hyperbole, but it will be important for the whole world.

after the American fascists are toppled, his head deserves to be near the first of many that must roll as a warning to all fascists.

[–] thedarkfly@feddit.nl 1 points 3 days ago

Totally agree. But I'm a bit pessimistic that modern fascism and extreme wealth concentration stops at one man. In my view, it's more of a systemic issue. If he dies, the system that put him in place still thrives.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 1 points 3 days ago

The saddest thing will be that he'll be too dead to see the joy people have when he died.
