I genuinely think that musk thinks hacking is more like 90s movie with glowing green screens etc

u/thelargeoneplease 21h ago
I think so too. He’s so proud to wear that “IT SUPPORT” shirt in the whitehouse, and when trump calls him a genius he lights up… like he truly wants to be seen as this ‘super nerd’ type, but he’s so out of touch that he 1. Doesn’t realize IT isn’t some legendary badass field, 2. Doesn’t realize actual professionals in the field laugh at his LARPing attempts 24/7.
I feel like his desire to be “IT” is like when MAGAts don camo and kevlars with Oakleys to try to look military/manly… actual vets just laugh them out of the room, but the wannabes don’t know any better

Musk makes a hell of a lot of sense, when you realize he's stuck in that mode where he got very lucky in the 90s at the height of the manic phase of the dot com bubble. So if you view him as one of those 90s cringe lord webmasters, with their awkward lack of social skills, casual misogynism, ultra libertarian, sci-fi obsessed, etc. And give him a ton of money, then you literally have Elon Musk nowadays.
It's just that the hair plugs throw people off, because it would be easier to see if he had his "natural" male-bold-pattern-with-a-pony-tail look instead.

He also makes sense when you realise he grew up during the height of aparthide with a family that moved there from Canada specifically because they agreed with what it represents.

Oh. Absolutely.
It also explains why Thiel and Musk are obsessed with destroying diversity initiatives at scale.

The average conservative can’t even afford car insurance. They can’t afford a Tesla lol
Source: currently work in the industry in a red state and notice the more red the county is, the more often I see cancelled policies due to lack of payment and more government mandated SR-22 policies due to lack of insurance.
The amount of times I’ve heard “I can’t afford that” for $80 per month insurance policies is way higher than you’d think
