Every once in a while I dive into the manosphere. Usually I’m consuming their latest perspectives regarding global population decline. The algorithm fed me an asmongold/Elon vid the last go.
Apparently, Elon is such an adult, he paid a guy to level a gaming character for him, played the character publicly (I’m still uncertain about the why part for Elon, the other guy makes a living doing it so that makes sense), and Elon was called out for the paid leveling. Then Elon, on X, banned, unbanned, removed check marks, replaced, removed, etc on the game streamer, this asmongold guy, who called him out on the paid leveling. I know. I’m sure someone can explain the incident better.
The point is, this is so childish. How do you have that much money, have 53 years of age, own all the cool toys, and care this much about a game character or what anyone thinks about something so inconsequential? Or act like this, at 53? It’s childish and weird. Donating/testing portable solar panels in Puerto Rico post hurricane is cool, this is, idk what this is. Unhealthy. We’ll leave it at unhealthy.
And that’s who is in charge of our data, our money, and our electronic existences right now.
Hating on a comic after finding myself on that internet tangent reads as expected behavior.
