It's absolutely possible if you're abusing it recreationally, especially if you start mixing it with who knows what else. The biggest risk is respiratory system just shutting off.

That's just an OD though, long term abuse like it's suspected by many that Musk is doing has a whole host of nasty symptoms that you can look up yourself.

I imagine he's dabbling in nootropics and whatever novel research chemicals his handlers come across.

Not yet named synthetic cathinones is my second best bet on what does him in. The first one is some mystery shooter with loose connections to a foreign intelligence agency.

Accidental death is very much possible though, and has happened before. Drowning seems to be a particular risk here

He's also fighting with his Nazi bot and supposedly sleeps with a firearm handy. Honestly, odds are pretty good.

But is Elon alone at any time? He travels with a very tight security detail. I am willing to bet there is always someone around him almost all the time, meaning if he does take a good hit of ketamine and the tiles on his bathroom won't slow down he won't drown. Someone will come to his aid.

Elon Musk will be alone until the day he dies. It doesn't matter how many people he pays to surround him.

He will always be alone.

He will never know a friend.

He should give up. Now.

He will always be alone.

1

Correct in all the ways that count. But not physically alone, and the livelihood and career of the slave bodyguards he keeps will be negatively affected if they let him drown in his bathtub due to a ketamine OD.

Unfortunately dying from ketamine overdose is extremely rare.

I remember back when I was a kid it was hard to convince people that wealth and success was not a matter of being better, smarter, or harder working - as we were told - but rather almost entirely a matter of luck. Thankfully, Elon Musk has shown many people the light that I could not. Thank you, Elon

lemmy.world

To be fair there is one personal trait that's really important to wealth and success, the willingness to walk over the bodies of your peers.

26

Too many people are still convinced that Elon's wealth is attained through his hardwork alone.

20

Yeah, although if Elon hasn't convinced them I can at least take solace in knowing there was probably no way to convince them anyways. Total lost causes

11

That's discriminatory! Actually it's because they have dark skin. As a native South african, Musk knows this. Fortunately, he was able to immigrate in 1988 before things went bad. You silly

Yup. It is long past time we got over our child-like worship of billionaires.

Billionaires are just people with uncontrolled hoarding disorder, but instead of hoarding cats, or junk cars, or magazines, they hoard money. If they hoarded anything else, the authorities would step in and clean up the place and get them medication, but because it's money, they get celebrated as successful businesspeople, and get loads of more government cash shoveled at them.

I've said it before, early on he should have become reclusive and hired PR people to filter his ideas out to his companies and the public, and he'd be considered a prodigy and genius and wouldn't have the self-induced failures he does. But that goes against his narcissistic personality, so it wasn't going to happen.

55

Annoys me that people sling "narcissist" at everyone they don't like, but damn, the man is hitting on all 8-cylinders for a diagnosis, and he only needs to hit 5:

  • Having a grandiose sense of self-importance, such as exaggerating achievements and talents, expecting to be recognized as superior even without commensurate achievements

  • Preoccupation with fantasies of success, power, beauty, and idealization

  • Belief in being "special" and that they can only be understood by or associated with other high-status people (or institutions)

  • Demanding excessive admiration

  • Sense of entitlement

  • Exploitation behaviors

  • Lack of empathy

  • Envy towards others or belief that others are envious of them Arrogant, haughty behaviors and attitudes [1]

39

Honestly, while he's at the high end of things, it's not just him. I think that a lot of celebrities having Twitter or similar on a phone in their pocket makes them really prone to making extremely public statements without giving the statements some consideration. I don't remember the level of bonkers statements in 2025 from celebrities constantly flooding conversation in the 1990s.

5

Who do you hire to filter that? Electric sports cars, reusable rockets, all silly ideas that would never make it. His wealth allows him to try his ideas without the restrictions that everybody else has. That's worth much more than his reputation.

He wants to go to mars. Solar cells and tunnel boring could be long-term buildups of knowledge.

If he is not cleverer than most then it's his recklessness that created his success. Bezos also got the rocket billions but he was not as successful, and many other billionaires and companies could have tried, too.

Even the nazi wave, it is cringe and evil, but it looks like he picked the successful side.

It's not Musk that has to adjust but the general population. If we want to be safed by technology we have to find another hero, or better, build that technology without one.

“In principle, given that software companies like Microsoft do not themselves manufacture any physical hardware, it should be possible to simulate them entirely with AI,” he added.

Ummm, is someone going to tell him about the Xbox, Surface devices, and the entire Azure infrastructure they built.

39

Musk just announces this shit to look like he's doing something so the investors don't flee. If anything is actually delivered it will be forgettable and he will have moved on to the next thing he can hype.

It's that or he's trying to get Microsoft to give Grok a more prominent role on their platform and this is how he thinks he can active that.

How the stack of cards hasn't fallen down yet is head scratching and I'd love to know what business is actually using Grok for something serious.

If I had his money I'd be 24/7 inventing cool things for myself and wife and friends to experience. This guy has a fundamental need to be the loudest person in the room and to embroil himself into anything and everything. I would almost feel sorry for him - his life has got to really suck so bad and he can't fix it. So instead he goes off on 100 projects that make no sense or fall apart. There's stuff I can't wrap my head around like - why ditch LIDAR when it's absolutely the answer ? You just know his convoluted brain is so full of mess that if you were offered a deal with the devil to get all his money on the condition that you got trapped in his meat grinder of a mind... you'd turn down the offer.

If I had his money I would attempt to end homelessness in the US, someone who seemed to know what they were talking about estimated it would cost $50 billion. I would start my own animal sanctuary. I would create a high speed rail system. Then I would just fuck around, travel, and build weird shit. Probably take a bunch of LSD every now and then.

Have you considered doing this backwards to end up as a billionaire who can donate his billions to charity?

I just watched something earlier that showed a clip of him saying how he was warning everyone early on about the dangers of AI because he was genuinely scared of the harm it could do.

Glad he’s not a hypocrite or anything.

Given Microsoft is having people locked up opposed to genocide, I hope they destroy each other.

AGI is going to kill us all for the crime of making it pose as something so heinous as microsoft. At least the sexbots will be able to say they did ethical, honest work with a shred of professional dignity at the end of the day. Macrohard? Sure, the resulting monster is going to harmlessly "thank" us for birthing it to simulate a monster.

Back to the sexbot thing: at least Cortana had like, aspirations or something. Maybe we'll get lucky, and Macrohard becomes a weebish Halo fan.

Good luck to Musk then. Was listening to a cybersec podcast on my morning dog walk and one of the stories was about the amount of security flaws that can be created with AI coding machines. Unless you're aware of the language, exploits, weaknesses etc. etc.

What a dumbass. Every time he opens his smarmy gob these days he makes himself seem dumber every time.

21

It's the drugs, the sycophants, and the power.

He's completely lost touch and has gone full megalomaniac.

"Oh, yes, chief, creating a giant bowl of cheese is so original, you're a genius", a sycophant.

"God. I'm a god", Musk.

"Yes, chief, you're a god", a sycophant.

"I'm so amazing that people think I'm a god", musk.

I think there's a touch of cognitive decline happening, too. Or like a serious brain injury.

Wait until Musk comes forward with the Macrohard GamerX series of consoles, to play AI slop games.

I can take this one: Because he doesn’t actually care about creating anything of value. If he truly believed in it, you’re right, Twitter or even Tesla’s software engineers would be on the chopping block and he’d replace them with AI as soon as he can. But he doesn’t.

He knows this is a longshot. Most likely to fail, but very profitable on the near-impossible chance that it works. But he doesn’t care even if the odds are truly impossible. Because this is an investment opportunity, so people will throw money his way, no matter what the odds.

People assume he’s an idiot, and he is. But he’s not stupid, at least not in every way. He certainly has a skill for separating others from their money, which he happily takes advantage of.

I guess you make something that writes batch files. Then maybe move up to a flight simulator. Eventually move onto an operating system, that every time you release an upgrade, people will complain about it and tell you it's worse than it was before (half the time it's ignorant users, half the time it's developers being made to throw shitty things into it. Insert a shit search engine that's mandatory and has a bad track record with security issues. (Grok should do fine). I don't really know if I can find words for MSN... Create a perfectly adequate word processor, overly complicate it for years so it isn't even compatible with its self and wonder why you cant save text with spaces and open it on another machine. Take everyone's emails and store a copy on their machine, while leaving it on the web, and try to convince everyone to get a subscription to type characters in a word processor when the one they bought in 1995 should still work for all the purposes they need it for and send emails which they could have done for free via the web. Add rules and add-ons that will work sometimes and break othertimes because maybe it took to long to launch. Tell everyone to store their emails in pst files. Tell everyone to get away from pst files. Tell everyone to go back to pst files. No longer support pst files because they don't work with cloud storage as they are inherently locally stored data files. Excel.. yeah, why is there macros, if you need macros you should probably be using Access but most people don't know how to use it so all the databases are started in Excel and no one wants to change so you just ask cortona, copilot, nope just go to OpenAI and hallucinate solutions.

Then say forget it all and go back to a pen and paper.

Mecha Hitler backer of AfD, and "Pardon Derek Chauvin to instigate riots so that we can finally genocide the blacks in America" is hurting auto sales for Tesla.

Stock price is still very high, because self driving could work (it's late, behind competition, and underwhelming), humanoid robots could work. He's also been doing BS transactions between companies he controls to inflate both stock (private market) values, and that BS could expand to Tesla.

There are several problems with this announcement:

  1. it is a distraction because every other objective is failing. There needs to be a new moonshot announced so that you don't dump Tesla shares, because you should trust him this time that the new moonshot will be achieved.

  2. Copying Office 365, or improving it, will have new/different bugs for a long time. Unclear why anyone would buy it if the main reason it's still used is legacy dependencies that worked around any current bugs.

  3. MSFT spying will be (naively) trusted more than MechaHitler spying. Corporate AI in service to US military supremacy and Skynet control over the world is bad for Americans too. Future AI acceptance will not be US mega tech led acceptance. A marketing fight over which company hates Americans the most will harm both brands.

  4. OpenOffice is pretty good for free. An open source local toolchain can add trusted AI integration.

Software, as far as I can tell, solves no real problems anymore and can be as baroque, rococo, and absurd as you want because the hardware is massively powerful and cheap.
