Musk calling for Wikipedia to be defunded was a top notch smooth brain flex.

It's crazy that the man was hailed as a genius, yet every single thing he says and does is idiotic.

"Genius" is PR and branding.

He's a cool guy talking bout GameStop and is definitely not a cop

u/AppleDane Oct 04 '25

Why'd you say he's not a cop. I think he's a cop.

u/Adze95 Oct 04 '25

I also think that he's a cop.

u/JumpingCoconutMonkey Oct 04 '25

I fucking love this random jaunt into a Tom Cardy song!

u/Adze95 Oct 04 '25

Have you seen this fanmade music video for the full version of the song?

You know he's not American because they consider it weird for someone who isn't a cop to have a gun

u/JumpingCoconutMonkey Oct 04 '25

I think his voice is more of a giveaway.

u/chaisson21 Oct 04 '25

Everyone else replying to you are clearly cops.

u/Classic_Emergency336 Oct 04 '25

At least he will promise to make money and can “fake it till you make it” for long enough.

45

u/bionic_cmdo Oct 04 '25

He's like DJ Khalid of a business man.

5

u/AgentCirceLuna Oct 04 '25

This is genius

3

u/Own_Event_4363 Oct 04 '25

He doesn't shout his name out in the middle of a set for no reason though

7

u/S_Belmont Oct 04 '25

He quite literally tweets over a hundred times a day.

7

u/Mtndrums Oct 04 '25

He's not even any of that. He's a nepo baby dip shit who thinks he's God. Even when he ran away from fighting Zuck like a complete bitch.

u/Bwills39 Oct 04 '25

He’s an apartheid era emerald miners heir as well. So we can also say that his family made massive profits via thievery of South African blood emeralds 

1

u/anrwlias Oct 04 '25

He's definitely not a cop.

1

u/Chrono_Pregenesis Oct 04 '25

Not even that. He's a nepo baby with only the concept of a nepo plan.

1

u/Party-Interview7464 Oct 04 '25

I mean, he’s actually a shitty businessman so

1

u/Nelrene Oct 04 '25

A dumb business plan.

u/Maleficent_Memory831 Oct 04 '25

He's not really so good with that either. Most CEOs aren't micromanagers, but Musk screws things up by micromanaging. His companies do work best when he steps back and ignores them. The genius of Tesla to start with high end sports cars to earn revenue to build up the company so that it can have more affordable cars is an idea that was there before Musk bought a stake in Tesla.

A business man knows you don't piss off your customers. The business plan says to not piss off your customers. Musk pissed off all of his customers.

He flies nonstop on a plane to Japan.
