Who taught the word “existential” to King Bazinga? Did it happen during his slapfight with Existential Comics on Twitter some years back? thinking-about-it

    What regulations? This is the US you already have the anarchy you want.

    Also, you admitted it yourself Musk. Only stupid people would trust you. You used that as a legal defense.

      Regulations like “workers must work in marginally safe conditions and be paid a minimal amount of money” make it impossible to be innovative.

      I wish I was joking. I’ve argued with business owners who unironically believe OSHA and minimum wage are the biggest reasons they aren’t billionaires.

        Enough Silicon Valley credulous rubes (not even the ruling class, I mean the code monkeys that are very loyal to the milords) really do believe that if only techno feudalism had even less restrictions that they’d be counting their “genetically engineered catgirls for domestic use” harems on their Martian fiefdoms by now.

  • lmao I’m so fucking glad he outed himself to a much wider population as a lil’ ol’ not-smart weirdo with… y’know… everything he’s done recently

    Still not ideal omori-furious, but at least fewer people at work will repeat this to me as a serious claim, and those who do with less enthusiasm on average

      my-hero keeps jangling those Martian keys, and I can only hope the excessive jangling is getting somewhat diminishing returns.

  • So this story arc is liable to be the funniest. I’m calling it now, we will see Elon Musk get blown up in his own wizz-bang xp5000 while attempting to escape Earth. It will be due to a faulty pressurized fuel valve that he directly ordered not to be thoroughly tested because “move fast and break things”. The black box, once recovered, will show that he died moments before the big boom of a stroke from doing absolutely zero g force conditioning and having a Neurolink. Boring Star X-r corp will announce that it’s okay, they downloaded his brain before lift off, and proceed to call a press conference to watch as they switch on their digital Musk. The machine only beeps once and does nothing, they are unable to recover any coherent data. Still love the space ship tho.

      I’d love to hope that you had lathe access, but my-hero is a huge fucking coward as demonstrated by his attempts to bait The Zucc into a fistfight and then having his fucking mother prevent it from happening so he could save face. He isn’t going anywhere near his own bazinga devices. It’s up to the “NPCs” to die for his glory.
