"Hey kids, have some random shit some algorithm thought you might desire. Best dad ever, amirite?"
Showcasing his blatant disregard for his progeny in front of millions of people while trying to hype his latest stupid tech. It's really no wonder this guy's this richest person on the planet, just galaxy-brain shit 🤯
People can make the best things while being absolutely horrid and morally bankrupt. Demeaning a bad person's abilities lowers our guard against predatory meritocrats and gives them cover.
The comics weren't really that good. They just hit it right with a their target audience and that was because his readers would send Adams their stories. That's no secret. I honestly stopped reading them before he got political because it was getting repetitive and boring. I remember being done with him before he called fossils bullshit. There's only so many "Boss is Dumb" strips you can make before you're scrapping the bottom of the barrel.
Does this even appeal to anyone? "We can automate the only part of consumer capitalism that's any fun?" Seriously?
Billionaires have so much money they literally can't spend it all. A bot could blow $100K on their behalf and they could laugh it off as a funny story.
They've worked very hard to divorce their fate from the fate of the general public, that has worked, and it shows in ways they don't even perceive anymore. They don't have any reason to look for good deals. This is strictly an imaginary scenario for little people, from their point of view.
I mean... Shopping for parts and materials is usually my least favorite part of any project, conceptually not having to deal with that sounds great if I didn't have negative trust in the mechanism. If you find it fun, maybe we should team up!
I guess I would counter that the sort of project you have in mind isn't likely to be part of what I'd call "consumer capitalism." You're building something as opposed to buying that thing.
It's more like I have to buy things so I can build/fix other things, and tbh kinda the main input I still require from "the system". Belts, bearings, seals, gaskets, relays, control boards, pumps, props, etc. Recent outboard motor refurb is a great example: a new one would be $5-8k, I spent ~$300 doing rings and bearings, new impeller, new seals everywhere, new zincs, new prop, fresh paint, new spark plugs. Still had to do a lot of shopping! Arguably more than the high roller who just buys a new motor, that's a low double digit number of parts vs one big thing
Anyways it wasn't meant as an argument or some kind of rhetorical gotcha, more a long shot at making a new friend and not having to shop anymore lol. People have a lot of different ideas of fun, mine's closer to tearing something apart and seeing how it works than trying not to get ripped off while meeting material needs
A small inconvenience for the parasite but this is the equivalent of slapping an ice cream cone out of this dweebs hand and I'm here for it.
The more I think about it, guy should have just told customer service that one of his dozen kids got ahold of his credit card and to freeze any future orders lol. Lmao even.
Hey. Do NOT let Elon have the funny numbers. They're mine, you joyless dweeb! 69 420 1312 666 1337 5318008 <-- this is where I keep them, feel free to borrow a couple or share more
People still pretend that this man is actually intelligent. What he is is just really, really good at taking credit for other people's ideas and being very confidently incorrect.
I hope someone uses the information above for good one day.
The most ridiculous part is expecting someone to ask AI to spend hundreds of dollars on their behalf with zero supervision. You have to truly be in the top .3% for that to be a consideration.
So...a "fun" reminder about the wealth gap. If you're in the top 0.1% of wealth in the US, you're still closer to homeless than you are to the billionaire+ class.
A source I found puts the top 0.1% at $64 million net worth (link) And the difference between 64 million and a billion is about a billion.
Maybe closer on the chart, but you can't pretend that the actual lived experiences between homelessness and $64 million in the bank aren't almost as different as they can possibly get.
The lived experience is definitely very different. But if the wealthiest group was only worth hundreds of millions, we might be able to avoid having any homeless.
I posted because people tend to have trouble internalizing just how big the wealth gap actually is. The brain can't really conceptualize how big a "million", "billion", or "trillion" actually is. It leads to a lot of misconceptions (another example, national budgets). I hope little nuggets like this will stick in people's brains to help them engage better with large numbers.
Edit: here's more data on the wealth gap
According to one source I found, there are 996 US billionaire+ that control $9.5 trillion. The bottom half controls $4.3 trillion.
If we pretend that 171,469,137 people are able to organize to the same degree as 996 people, and that those 171,469,137 people don't need to cover necessities with their wealth, the billionaire+ still have an outsized financial impact on politics and power structures.
WHO CARES. This fuck can buy a new identical house every hour of every day for the rest of his greedy life and still be disgustingly rich on his deathbed. I genuinely don't think people comprehend how much money this sociopathic narcissist has.
Everyone in Austin knows where this house is. All his neighbors have beef with what he's done there and it's been in the news. I doubt he ever goes there based on what I've read.
(Technically it's in Westlake, which is a wealthy, white suburb that incorporated itself decades ago to avoid being annexed by the city of Austin. A lot of "fiscal conservatives" there.)
I think they're probably more annoyed by the fact that it doesn't appear to actually be used as a private domicile and it's fucking up the scenery and inviting a lot of noise pollution and traffic that wasn't there before.
Also a bit of a dick move to just ignore all the local ordinances everyone else there is abiding by. Like a 6 foot fence is quite different than a 16 foot one.
God I wish I could see Musk in a guillotine. That's the public execution I'd like to watch.
That's not his home address. But news about his home in the area has made it to the news in recent years due to a dispute he had with the city, and since it ended up going to public hearings there was a public notification requirement regarding the address.
Not about the utility bills. He owns a solar company and is supposedly championing a shift green energy. Seems like he would make solar a priority, but hasn’t because he’s a massive fucking hypocrite.
Honestly, people that rich don't need to be worrying about their home address being public. Hell, we all used to have the addresses of everyone in town delivered to our front door. It was called the White/Yellow pages.
For people this rich, there's really no danger of their home address being public. Their homes have extensive security guards and tall fences. The address of someone like a twitch streamer getting doxed is a big deal. They're mostly just ordinary people that happen to have a very public job. If you're an average person without a security detail, having your address public means some rando could show up at your front door. For a billionaire, having your address leaked just gets added to the threat profile of your security team.
his replacement organs/walking organ banks. and future host bodies, when he finds a way to download his mind into his child to posess them, hes quite obsessed with this.
Artificial intelligence, Epstein files, greta thunberg for president, tan suit was best suit, praise Allah (I hope this one isn't offensive in context), Anduril was for killing fascists not making them.
I think that should about cover it to get me on the lists with you.
All of Austin is like this. It's really incredibly boring, very little to do (esp if you like natural beauty and the outdoors), and all has a mid tier feel. San Antonio at least has some neat architecture but Austin feels like one giant strip mall. I don't think I'd ever leave coastal northern California (even with absurd taxes that aren't actually used in a society improving way) but if I really wanted to avoid taxes at least parts of Nevada are close to the Sierras, or close to Zion.
Fair enough. There's also a nice history of cyber culture stuff in the 90s (FringeWare Review for example, though interesting to note Paco Nathan has long since relocated to Northern California). And obviously UT is a good school, I saw a great Ween show at Stubbs once, etc.
I was just in Austin last week and every time I go there and then come home to Berkeley I'm reminded how much I love where I live. And esp with teenage daughters how I'd never live somewhere that doesn't respect their fundamental rights.
UT has its flaws in bending the knee to the powers that be. They killed the "woke" programs like women's studies and cracked down on the ability to protest.
Austin does have outdoorsy stuff to do. There's the greenway and the parks. I guess the nature is not very integrated into the urbanized areas. This is because the urban planning is ass, as is the case in much of the USA.
As for rights, yeah. Fuck the butchers of Nueces and their modern successors.
email address: incognito69420 hur hur hur. so fucking goddamn funny, edolf. the fact that he doesn’t smoke weed, but promotes 420 shit so that people will think he’s cool pretty much encapsulates his entire desperate need to be liked.
It's still not obscenely huge like some mansions are. That's a time and a half the size of the biggest house in my neighborhood, and I don't live in a huge city. It seems like a lot of bathrooms though for the size...
I think I must have lived in countries with much smaller homes on average. I can't even imagine what a 650 square meter home looks like. It's over six times larger than my home now.
We rented an enormous house once when we had 6 kids living with us, and 2 more sometimes staying with us. 3,600 sq ft. Spacious as fuck even when 10 people were there. Unfortunately the landlord decided to sell it and kicked us out (apparently they can break a lease, we can't), but perfect timing as most of the kids were off to college or work.
I can't imagine twice as big would be better? At some point it's just useless space. Our house now is about 1800 I think, and it feels big.
Oh I bet it would be great if they have a similar family dynamic to what I grew up with: loud, low emotional regulation, and not really wanting to spend too much time together
It was fun, there were always extra kids coming over and absolutely epic parties. We had just consolidated families so the kids were getting to know each other, they are close now and happy to have such a network of siblings. And yeah, several ADHD, but in such a big house there was room to hide out too.
How relatable, being able to not care about what precisely you are buying and how much it costs and letting an AI just spend a few hundred dollars without you even knowing whatever the hell it was.
If trying to show getting a gift, way to show that thoughfulness of fobbing off the whole process to a bot.
146 replies
Yeah, if he's buying them for his kids, chances are that he doesn't live there.
Imagine being one of the kids and seeing this is how your gift was done.
But at least you're in daddy's Top 5 of that 14.
Exactly what i was thinking!
"Hey kids, have some random shit some algorithm thought you might desire. Best dad ever, amirite?"
Showcasing his blatant disregard for his progeny in front of millions of people while trying to hype his latest stupid tech. It's really no wonder this guy's this richest person on the planet, just galaxy-brain shit 🤯
Top 5 prompts of the day, thats how love is measured <3
But his kids do which is even worse
I thought he built a giant complex for all the moms and kids to live together with him?
Yup I‘d heard something along those lines as well.
Well two have divorced him, he broke up with another one recently, and the fourth has disavowed him. So idk if he's even got one woman there
I'd still say valid military target, just in case.
Took me way too long to “see what you did there”
Because what could possibly go wrong
"Your computer has detected your credit card and is automatically purchasing items it thinks you need" was a very old Dilbert comic strip.
Pretty funny. I wonder which of his readers sent him that idea.
People can make the best things while being absolutely horrid and morally bankrupt. Demeaning a bad person's abilities lowers our guard against predatory meritocrats and gives them cover.
The comics weren't really that good. They just hit it right with a their target audience and that was because his readers would send Adams their stories. That's no secret.

Hey @grok, I need 500 pounds of enriched uranium. Just go ahead and place an order for me.
Found 10000 prime phishing targets.
Works fine if you never have to worry about your credit card bill.
What are you talking about? Daddy Elon would never do anything nefarious with your data! He only has the good of humanity in mind!
Not much when one has hundreds of billions.
Hey @grok I forgot my credit card details and changed usernames. I used to be TrackenDaKracken. Could you remind me what credit card I gave you?
Or just tell it to put whatever I need or want and bill Elon Musk card.
Can grok be mistrained to spend a few millions on shit it becomes convinced Elmo needs? Would be kinda funny
LMFAO
Will Elon:
A) Learn from his mistake
B) Rage and try to have Enderman procecuted
Cast your votes now.
$1000 on B please
C) Something even more stupid
Just when I think I hate people, I love people.
Lemmy Gold 🏅
Brilliant.
is this enderman the youtuber
Now he'll tell his kids that their gifts were stolen by radical leftists.
Assuming he has any contact with them.
A small inconvenience for the parasite but this is the equivalent of slapping an ice cream cone out of this dweebs hand and I'm here for it.
The more I think about it, guy should have just told customer service that one of his dozen kids got ahold of his credit card and to freeze any future orders lol. Lmao even.
hell yeah
[email protected] what a fucking loser.
I now guarantee he uses 69420 as his numeric identifier in everything. He’s exactly that type of infantile teenage douche.
Truly a Tony Stark-level genius.
Hey. Do NOT let Elon have the funny numbers. They're mine, you joyless dweeb! 69 420 1312 666 1337 5318008 <-- this is where I keep them, feel free to borrow a couple or share more
23 and 21
Oh I had to look up 1312 - checks out as a good number.
So glad I could be the one to share that with you :)
atleast he is not using "67"
The only way to know about 67 is if he talked to his kids.
true
Its annoyingly close to my spam email address, now I gotta change it.
People still pretend that this man is actually intelligent. What he is is just really, really good at taking credit for other people's ideas and being very confidently incorrect.
I hope someone uses the information above for good one day.
Just another narcissist. They tend to be dumb because they think they know everything and rarely learn new things.
He's a bit more articulate than your average billionaire. That's all it takes, apparently.
The man can't even string a complete sentence together.
Fake!!!
That order details page says he paid tax. 😆
The most ridiculous part is expecting someone to ask AI to spend hundreds of dollars on their behalf with zero supervision. You have to truly be in the top .3% for that to be a consideration.
So...a "fun" reminder about the wealth gap. If you're in the top 0.1% of wealth in the US, you're still closer to homeless than you are to the billionaire+ class.
A source I found puts the top 0.1% at $64 million net worth (link) And the difference between 64 million and a billion is about a billion.
Depressingly after Occupy Wall Street, now it's not the 99%/1%, it's the 99.9%/0.1%.
Maybe closer on the chart, but you can't pretend that the actual lived experiences between homelessness and $64 million in the bank aren't almost as different as they can possibly get.

That said, someone may have both experiences. It's extremely rare, but possible
I love you for this
Elon Musk is the personification of a moron’s hallucination of a genius.
WHO CARES. This fuck can buy a new identical house every hour of every day for the rest of his greedy life and still be disgustingly rich on his deathbed. I genuinely don't think people comprehend how much money this sociopathic narcissist has.
Perfectly compatible with a democratic society too!
Everyone in Austin knows where this house is. All his neighbors have beef with what he's done there and it's been in the news. I doubt he ever goes there based on what I've read.
(Technically it's in Westlake, which is a wealthy, white suburb that incorporated itself decades ago to avoid being annexed by the city of Austin. A lot of "fiscal conservatives" there.)
What did he do?
https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/elon-musk-faces-backlash-over-16-foot-fence-around-austin-suburb-mansion/
For example
Nothing wrong with that. At least his neighbours don't have to see the misshapen dweeb hanging out at his pool.
I think they're probably more annoyed by the fact that it doesn't appear to actually be used as a private domicile and it's fucking up the scenery and inviting a lot of noise pollution and traffic that wasn't there before.
Also a bit of a dick move to just ignore all the local ordinances everyone else there is abiding by. Like a 6 foot fence is quite different than a 16 foot one.
God I wish I could see Musk in a guillotine. That's the public execution I'd like to watch.
One of his homes.
Two. The billing and shipping addresses are different.
He has 14 kids. He could have a house in every city he vacations in for every single one of them.
This from the guy who wants people to scan their credit card into Grok to buy stuff online ...
he wants children that he can download his mind into.
Quick, everybody trans!
It would be really wrong to send him dildos.
So totally don't do it.
Shipadick.com would be a terrible site to visit. Don't do that.
Wow looks exactly like the LA and San Diego that Iran was just talking about!
That's not his home address. But news about his home in the area has made it to the news in recent years due to a dispute he had with the city, and since it ended up going to public hearings there was a public notification requirement regarding the address.
Also interesting that the house across from edolf’s is covered in solar panels, while his own home has none.
I guarantee you he hasn't even looked at a utility bill since he bought the place.
Not about the utility bills. He owns a solar company and is supposedly championing a shift green energy. Seems like he would make solar a priority, but hasn’t because he’s a massive fucking hypocrite.
What is it with american houses and having like 20 different roof surfaces?
This has a good bit to do with it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3oIeLGkSCMA
Great video! Thanks for linking it.
I wouldn't be surprised the reason the address wasn't redacted is because he had AI make the post too.
Just a genius doing genius things…
Honestly, people that rich don't need to be worrying about their home address being public. Hell, we all used to have the addresses of everyone in town delivered to our front door. It was called the White/Yellow pages.

Huh.. I had expected something more extravagant. Looks like a run of the mill McMansion. Probably not his only house, though!
It‘s the coop for the latest mother of his child army.
his replacement organs/walking organ banks. and future host bodies, when he finds a way to download his mind into his child to posess them, hes quite obsessed with this.
He has a shitload of kids with different women, all through artificial insemination.
This is probably where some of his kids live.
I think you meant to say "super insemination."
It's still early but this is a strong frontrunner for post of the day
GNU + insemination
a rare combination
Once you're already on the watchlist, there's nothing more to lose by further identifying yourself as an enemy of the state.
It's okay, if we're all on the list, no one is.
Artificial intelligence, Epstein files, greta thunberg for president, tan suit was best suit, praise Allah (I hope this one isn't offensive in context), Anduril was for killing fascists not making them.
I think that should about cover it to get me on the lists with you.
Makes sense. I know he doesn’t give a shit about those, so doxxing wouldn’t be an issue for him 🙃
he broke his penis from a botched implant surgery from very QUESTIONABLE surgeon.
All of Austin is like this. It's really incredibly boring, very little to do (esp if you like natural beauty and the outdoors), and all has a mid tier feel.

There's the Bat City Bike Club at least
Fair enough. There's also a nice history of cyber culture stuff in the 90s (FringeWare Review for example, though interesting to note Paco Nathan has long since relocated to Northern California). And obviously UT is a good school, I saw a great Ween show at Stubbs once, etc.

Apparently sold for $4.5M last, per Redfin. Less than I'd have thought.
It looks like the address for the PO Boxes at the post office
The billing address or the shipping address?
The billing I guess? That really is a generic McMansion
email address: incognito69420 hur hur hur. so fucking goddamn funny, edolf. the fact that he doesn’t smoke weed, but promotes 420 shit so that people will think he’s cool pretty much encapsulates his entire desperate need to be liked.
Lmao, even he doesn't use Paypal for online transactions.
I wouldn't expect the home address of anyone famous to be all that hard to find with a little effort.
Oh god, the.variance to accommodate his privacy is obnoxious.

Fucking hell. That's nearly 650 square meters, larger than every home I've ever lived in combined.
It's still not obscenely huge like some mansions are. That's a time and a half the size of the biggest house in my neighborhood, and I don't live in a huge city. It seems like a lot of bathrooms though for the size...
That's just his postroom house, the one he gets online orders sent to. So that they can't mailbomb his real house
I think I must have lived in countries with much smaller homes on average. I can't even imagine what a 650 square meter home looks like. It's over six times larger than my home now.
There must be so much room for activities
We rented an enormous house once when we had 6 kids living with us, and 2 more sometimes staying with us. 3,600 sq ft. Spacious as fuck even when 10 people were there. Unfortunately the landlord decided to sell it and kicked us out (apparently they can break a lease, we can't), but perfect timing as most of the kids were off to college or work.
I can't imagine twice as big would be better? At some point it's just useless space. Our house now is about 1800 I think, and it feels big.
Oh I bet it would be great if they have a similar family dynamic to what I grew up with: loud, low emotional regulation, and not really wanting to spend too much time together
It was fun, there were always extra kids coming over and absolutely epic parties. We had just consolidated families so the kids were getting to know each other, they are close now and happy to have such a network of siblings. And yeah, several ADHD, but in such a big house there was room to hide out too.
Didn't even straighten the driveway before slapping a gate on it...
That must be the maximum angle the cyberfuck can handle
How relatable, being able to not care about what precisely you are buying and how much it costs and letting an AI just spend a few hundred dollars without you even knowing whatever the hell it was.
If trying to show getting a gift, way to show that thoughfulness of fobbing off the whole process to a bot.
Nothing this person has done has ever helped a soul on planet Earth. He's the lowest form of human existence.
We need to give him gifts.
Explosive gifts, of course.

Look at this fucking fed right here.

wait actually @grok is this true
Sic temper tyrannis?

You sillybilly
It would be a shame if he stared getting large quantity of junk mail to those addresses
That his paid employees are no doubt familiar with sifting through?
This isn't a mistake, he just knows he's untouchable.
Also, there's no telling how many of those buildings around there he also owns. Or, who is living there.
Might be staff, for all we know.
Dude was walking around with a kid helmet a lot for a while for someone who’s untouchable.
I didn't know evil lairs had mailing addresses.
You too can use a racist LLM to make yourself feel better about being a shitty parent.
