This one in particular feels very midlife crisis coded; weird insecure masculinity stuff. But, y'know, most men who have issues with that get by with an ill-advised car or something.
- AtlasBarfed 2y agoThis behavior seems much in line with Musk. The all in podcast has four high net worth people with a similar vibe. Something disturbing is going on in the ranks of the "elite". I get these people are narcissistic, but the overt displays of contempt combined with authoritarian cowtowing is a bit frightening. A trade war with China combined with other increasing consequences conflicts seems to be bringing the age of global free trade to an end, or at least a very different one. The Ukrainian success with naval drones may mean the end of secure seas as well. Drones are cheap, anonymous, and effective. That implies an disruption to the multinational corporate order, and an emphasis on domestic or near domestic production, and less of the government independence / arbitrage that the super rich have gotten used to. But the ultras all seem to be going into these maniacal bond villain molds. Is Musk a symptom or a torchleader?
- linuxftw 2y agoAre you implying there are no differences between masculine and feminine? If there are differences and you value diversity, you should want masculine to be represented. Unless you mean masculine == bad, which would be a very bigoted take.

- bigfatkitten 2y agoThat's just how he's always been. He's an insecure little incel at heart. Facebook's precursor was a HotOrNot clone that used female classmates' photographs without permission. It takes a certain type of person to build something like that.
- anthonypasq 2y ago??? He met his now wife when he was a sophomore in college and has an extremely normal family life as far as I can tell.
- ghostpepper 2y agoFacebook started as a project to grab photos of girls from his school and create a public ranking system on how hot they were. https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a19746346/mark-zuckerberg-testifying-congress-facesmash-facebook/ https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a19746346/mark-zuck...
- weatherlite 2y agoWhich we all wish we started before him ... I mean god damn it all it took was knowing a bit of php and throwing a few html pages.
- ghostpepper 2y agoI think it's slightly creepy and displays a major lack of socialization and self-awareness and do not at all wish I had made.
- zero-sharp 2y agothis is such a weird comment. Sure, the HotOrNot clone was inappropriate. But "He's an insecure little incel at heart"? Where did that come from?
