I fully support Elon suing. I'd love to see the kind of stuff that would come out of discovery that he would never want anyone to see.

I'd like to believe that there is a law with tensile strength to bind him but we as a society don't really have any mechanism to address the kind of corruption that an infinitesimal fragment of his wealth can cause.

I think he's too big to prosecute. I think Trump is America's mask off moment and we are now openly rearranging the machinery of government to turn us all into sausages to be served up to oligarchs.

The problem is that they want something like slavery but they don't want you to have a house or food. They want the government to keep the slaves for them. Elon personally is willing to spend a functionally unlimited amount of money to ensure that he gets to be king of Earth.

The oligarchs are crazy, but they're not stupid.

Not even Duck Sauce could make this a banger.

[–] AmyAye@nord.pub 5 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, my first thought was "What documentary?"

[–] Mantzy81@aussie.zone 58 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I for one will enjoy him trying to prove that the documentary is libelous.

[–] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 39 points 3 weeks ago

Discovery will be delightful

[–] ours@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

So many potentially good docus coming our way: MUSK, The history of concrete, You can see everything.

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 36 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Of course this thin-skinned, whiny, barrel-chested man-baby bitch doesn't like a documentary about him.

I can't rag on the bald, for I am also bald.

Though unlike this chud, I embrace it and shave what does grow off. And I look better for it.

Fuck you Elon.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I would only rag on him, because of his expensive hair plugs. You know he's ashamed of it so it's about needling an insecure shithead.

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago

expensive hair plugs

Y'know... male gender affirming care.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 3 weeks ago

he also had a BOTCHED penis implant surgery, which permanently mangled it, hence the IVF CHILDREN.

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 13 points 3 weeks ago

"Nothing is uglier than a bald man with hair."

I forget the author!

[–] CorrectAlias@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'd say that makes you able to rag on the bald even more!

My god, dude wants to create an army of incel children that look like that.

[–] eah@programming.dev 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I've always thought that cosmetic work which makes you look younger is dishonest. It's a way to cheat and make people subconsciously think you've got the same capabilities of a young person when you're actually going nearly senile. If Musk looked his age, he wouldn't be nearly as respected. If congresspeople had to look their age with gray hair and bald spots, we'd be voting them out long before they become old farts.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 33 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Musk is an idiot. A fucking moron.

He’s constantly insisting that he’s so smart (which btw is something morons do, not geniuses).

He keeps dropping hints that he’s an evil genius that stole the election, while publicly saying he didn’t.

I think he did so something shady during the election that we don’t know about, but not in the way he keeps implying.

He wants us to think that he’s capable of “beaming votes in from space” so people will think he’s cool.

I’m pretty sure he doesn’t have any friends.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 14 points 3 weeks ago

If you're not born in the billion club, it's hard to conceptualize for most. This dude probably had actual friends pre PayPal. Now he is just desperate for recognition thinking people online are a proper substitution.

dude is stuck in full retard and doesnt know it

[–] sportsjorts@lemmy.zip 31 points 3 weeks ago

Discovery should start immediately if someone threatens to sue. So much of this bullshit is just bullying by rich Nazis. You threaten to sue open up the books you parasites.

[–] TheOriginalMattman@lemmy.world 29 points 3 weeks ago

I can't wait.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 29 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I didn't know there was a doco about this sad, nazi loser

I won't watch it, but I am glad that he's upset about it and I hope he gets his fee-fees hurt so bad he dies

[–] huppakee@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Him being upset makes it more likely I'll watch it. I watched The Apprentice (more a movie based on a true story than a traditional documentenary) and despite my dislike of Trump I really enjoyed watching it. Mostly because I (as s European) didn't know a thing about him until he first ran for president. Have no clue whether i will enjoy watching this in the same way, but if it might I will watch it a doco about this sad, nazi loser. No doubt.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 26 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If Musk doesn't want me to watch it, I wanna watch it

[–] Redditmodstouchgrass@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 weeks ago

Gogo Streissand Effect!

[–] Zacryon@feddit.org 24 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Elon Musk supports Nazis btw.

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 weeks ago
[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 23 points 3 weeks ago

Hagiography… there’s a word I had to look up.

If Musk hates this, it makes me want to watch it. But then I’m not sure if I can bring myself to watch four hours of Musk. This lawsuit is almost like a marketing stunt.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This just made me want to actually watch it, so thanks bud

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Streisand effect indeed. I'll be watching it now

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

When does this rich child not abuse the justice system. It’s expected. What a chud.

Meanwhile, if he wanted respect and admiration, there are plenty of things he could do with his money to earn them. Feeding people, providing shelter, paying for social services. It’s all within reach, but he’d rather sue for people explaining how he actually behaves.

Making anyone do what you want with law suits is the achievement you unlock when you have 1,000 million dollars.

[–] JustPlainDave@lemmy.zip 14 points 3 weeks ago

Go ahead, Elon. Let's go to discovery.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

Die mad, pedo.

[–] SirMaple__@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 weeks ago
[–] Airfried@piefed.social 8 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

A four hour documentary about the guy's life sounds like a summary of all the video essays I've watched about him over the years. I doubt it will bring up anything I didn't know already. Anyone trying to educate people about psychopathic billionaires has my support but I fear this will criticize the person rather than the system that enabled him.

There’s no better hit piece than the man himself

[–] jtrek@startrek.website 6 points 3 weeks ago

Musk is a sack of shit that doesn't deserve nice things. I hope he, as the saying goes, dies mad about this.

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 6 points 3 weeks ago

Maybe this is some kind of troll? Is this really not made by him and people will pay lots of money to watch a video of Elon getting glazed?

[–] bushvin@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Alex Gibney must be doing it right!

[–] dave@feddit.uk 3 points 3 weeks ago

Well, this was of its time, and tbh I was fairly surprised to still find it, but every time I hear about him, I’m reminded of that interview with his father, and this song.
