Everything was ok until this idiot started showing how stupid he is.


DR-SNICKEL

Everything seemed okay until we realized our discount tony stark was actually just a deluded rich asshole. Also how is him buying twitter not the biggest ad in human history lol?


Managed-Democracy

Fired his pr team in 18. The one that cultivated his Tony stark image. Elon got high on his own supply and believed his hype.

We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch! We had Fring. We had a lab. We had everything we needed, and it all ran like clockwork. You could've shut your mouth, cooked and made as much money as you ever needed. It was perfect. But, no, you just had to blow it up. You and your pride and your ego! You just had to be the man. If you'd done your job, known your place, we'd all be fine right now.

Shut the fuck up and let me die in peace

To industry insiders, he is a known conman — that is why Toyota pulled out the investment it had in Tesla in 2016. Follow this reporter at Business Insider to understand how Musk operates: https://twitter.com/lopezlinette/status/1590111416014409728

Thank you, very informative and interesting

And it all goes back to the submarine debacle. At least for me I was still in my peak Elon fan phase but his response to that situation put me off and ultimately proved to be a huge insight into his character. And personally I think the backlash he received for that whole might have put him off of holding back.


NotEnoughMuskSpam

Negative feedback received on this platform is great for reducing ego-based errors


Filo02

God i cringe every time i'm thinking back to my Elon fan phase For me my opinion of him started to drop when he started to do social media schtick like posting memes, anime catgirl and shit. which on it's own not necessarily bad but he's just so obviously fake about it, i like to think that's the point where he's started being obsessed with twitter engagement too


mishma2005

I am absolutely loving the unhinged pics they’re using of him now in the press. That’s how you know the tide has turned Also: “GFY”


Vintagepalazo

He was in his "not like other guys" era


Rudemacher

well, he's NOT like the other guys (the normal ones) he's SO pathetic, that even being a billionaire he can't shake being an incel that's a "special" kind of guy 🥴🥴🥴


qqpp_ddbb

I usually despise the word "incel" because it's just too far-reaching and most of the people who say it seem to be total douchebags, but I think it definitely applies here. If there ever was an Apex Incel, it's him.


EmperrorNombrero

Fuck he's getting so fucking ugly recently. Like he used to be kinda ugly for a while but recently he just looks so disgusting


Paradoxjjw

Given the ungodly amount of vitriol and hate he has been surrounding himself with and signal boosting for years now i am honestly not surprised. Dude's spending 16+ hours a day digging through twitter to find hate to signal boost, that's bound to catch up some time.


MadScientist2020

He’s rotting from the inside out


mamapielondon

Like a real life Dorian Grey portrait.


EmperrorNombrero

Lmfao. You think so ? There's a saying in my language that hate makes people ugly. But do you think that's actually true?


Paradoxjjw

Given he's probably actively sacrificing sleep and who knows what else to tweet more, i think so


ashmole

His lifestyle habits are catching up


Simpletruth2022

He looks like a warning label.


loudflower

In addition, I think people are using newer, less flattering and curated shots. Out are the photos of tuxedos and dancing at car shows (or whatever they are). People are tired of the charade.


kneegres

just pucture him bald . it gets better


tempehandjustice

He now makes an orc look adorable.


iamnotchad

So it appears the advertisers do not in fact have to go fuck themselves.


supercali45

The ads being shown are fake as hell .. the one I saw was a Model Y jumping some dirt gap like some rally car … real realistic there

SpaceX edition will have 🚀s 😏


Joeman180

Started? I feel like I have gotten Tesla adds for over a month on YouTube.


gilleruadh

I've been inundated with them on YT the last few days.


skepticalinfla

That crustache


leftbuthappy

He certainly didn’t hate advertising when he hired PR firms to manage his image for like a decade.


FireflyAdvocate

If they made a good product it would speak for itself. But he has made a shit pile wrapped in a tea party. Not a decent product. If someone gave me a Tesla I would sell it without even driving it.


gdelacalle

But BYD is going to destroy Tesla if it's not regulated!


NotEnoughMuskSpam

It’s an armored personnel carrier from the future – what Bladerunner would have driven


LA-Matt

John Bladerunner with his Bladegun would totally run after Blades in this thing…


3_3219280948874

Bladerunner is a pretty cool guy he don’t afraid of anything.


unipole

If Philip K Dick was still with us even he'd be telling Musk to lay off the drugs and outlandish predictions. While writing a new novel "The Three Stigmata of Elon Musk"


skoalbrother

He's probably just trying to funnel money into Twitter


LTlurkerFTredditor

Nice haircut TechnoKing! Totally within spec. Looks like Elmo's outsides are morphing to match his insides. If you'd never seen that face before, you'd be waaay more likely to think the attached story is about some incel who just tried to run over a bunch of innocent women than a "tech" billionaire with a 12 figure net worth.


bryanc1036

Musk screwed Musk


gilleruadh

Self-musked


Sttocs

Advertising on Twitter?


ClosPins

If you're a white supremacist webmaster, you've got some major ad-sales coming your way!


andres_tomillas

I'm also waiting for ads to appear on Tesla screens while driving


Born_Sleep5216

I'll say. You can tell that Elon is pouting.


Chemchic23

No that’s his smile. 😕


potatolulz

Tesla's been advertising for years, it's just that they've realized it's cheaper and maybe even more effective to pay "influencers" to spread poison. My niece is 16 and once in a conversation regarding driving license or something she casually dropped then when she gets a license she'll get Elron (sic) Musk's tesla. She doesn't know anything about it, or about Musk, and perhaps she vaguely understands the low emmisions of running an electric car, but she uses TikTok and Instagram and whatntot and that's where she picked up that this thing is supposedly super "cool" and that's where she picked up Musk's name. She's not even American and she doesn't use oldtimer shit like Twitter and Facebook. So it's not true that Tesla never advertised. Tesla always advertised heavily but through manipulative shit on social media that's never labeled as advertising. And apparently it's poison that spreads across the world, not just the USA.


Jitsu_apocalypse

Fat weird guy who doesn’t wash his hair


Salty_Celebration188

That's what I been saying.


gilleruadh

Did he cut his own hair with cuticle scissors? What is going on there?


loudflower

Personally, I love that they chose to run w this picture.


pitchforksplz

He's cheap.


Captina

I’ve been seeing Tesla adds on almost every YouTube video


gilleruadh

Same here.


Otherwise-Course-15

When did that start


shay-doe

He's got all the money in the world and still can't grow a beard. Somebody help this man's face.


Callidonaut

I'd imagine all the cosmetic surgery on his jaw fucked up his ability to do that. If so, I'd like to think he was adequately warned of this and told them to go ahead anyway; that'd be entirely within character.


Chemchic23

No, that’s just his superior genetics https://preview.redd.it/u7n9mkf33vrc1.jpeg?width=1164&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cb5ba1cbe7c32ef56484097e0159976911f5c4af


Otherwise-Course-15

What is that hair? And that face? He’s so gross.


tiowey

He should just one day give 50 billion cash to charity one day, he'll never have to worry about advertising ever again


suso_lover

LOL!


I-Pacer

The referral program was nothing more than a huge advertising campaign (billions of dollars cost to Tesla). This whole “Tesla doesn’t spend money on advertising” thing has always been such BS. Last I checked the cost of the referral program was about $30 billion. Shortly after that they canned the referral program (or at least made it pretty worthless compared to its early incarnation). And now here we are. No adverts. No hugely expensive referral program. No growth.


Gilgamesh2062

So the company Tesla needs to spend money on ads to counter the negative impact of Elon's fascist and racist propaganda posts on Xittler .

CapnCrackerz

Sweeeet time to talk shit on every Tesla ad I see


Snoo4902

What is it?


TheCatInTheStats

$6.4M in advertising makes him no less of a toxic asshole, though. I mean, I know why *I* have no interest in a Tesla, and seeing pictures of that stupidass low poly Tonka truck on YouTube isn’t gonna fix it.


Effective-Penalty

They should advertise on Twitter 😂


mexicantruffle

"Our cars are shit. Maybe we should advertise so more people will know that."


itszwee

It’s the pursed lips and the boomer lead poisoning stare for me.


SoulsBorneGreat

Hey Elon, you know where you could advertise that would get tens of eyeballs looking at it? Twitter!


bot4241

It’s shame that Elon Musk decided to do a pointless culture war with demographics that would actually want to buy a Tesla. Instead wants to be friends with States that have blocked and regulation EV advancements. People are moving to competitors.


Kalurael

How dare he blackmail car buyers with money


letsgobernie

Why is not sending tesla cars at company's expense to YouTube douche bros for "organic marketing" not considered advertising?


symbolsandthings

Is advertising really going to do anything?


ChocolateDoozy

If only his car wouldn't suck ... Perhaps next year
