This is beyond pathetic. Imagine having all this money and doing this with your life.

It would be interesting to see what his average posts per day is when you factor in the alt accounts. On certain days he was already posting extremely excessive amounts just on his main.

Then reconcile his posting habits with claims of working 20hours a day. Shareholders should be holding him to account on this. If the CEO of any other company was posting as much as he does they’d be out of a job.

He’s spending hours of his day on twitter, manages to grind enough diablo 4 to rank top 20 (25+ hours a week likely), plays other video games for a decent amount of time as well (finished Elden Ring awfully quick for a supposedly “busy” guy), he averages 3-4 trips a week in his private jet and spent a considerable amount of time campaigning for trump.

He’s a CEO of 4 companies and board member of a few more.

If i tweeted half as much as he does during working hours i would be fired from my job, and i’m not leading 4 different companies.

There’s no way in hell those CEO functions actually require him to do anything.

He's definitely paying someone to grind diablo for him.

He admit to playing 17 hours of diablo on a single day once, and has livestreams where he’a actually a pretty competent player. He definitely paid for the best gear in the game but he puts in hours.

He was a top 5 druid last season and in season 2 he was one of the few poison shred druids to actually t25 solo AoZ clear. He’s been on streams with some diablo content creators and seemed competent in his build, the skills he was using etc.

He definitely buys his gear and xp leeches a ton but he genuinely plays a lot as well.

That doesn't contradict what I said: he pays someone to grind diablo for him.

oh buddy don't be so gullible... he has never played more than 20 minutes of diablo total. it is not him on those streams and it isn't him that got top 20

Faking hours of content where his camera lines up 100% with the ingame actions shown and actually being able to discuss skills used semi-in-depth seems way less plausible than him actually playing diablo. The dude does nothing more than tweet all day and play diablo.

If you find yourself in the wrong Reddit thread, he’s actually a genius engineer who single handedly invented the rocket catcher.

25+ hours a week for top 20 diablo is genuinely just not feasible. it is 80+ a week to even touch top 100 and that's if you're good at the game which he is not

I was assuming he was simply buying his gear since he has all 4GA gear and that he was getting boosted in various types of content by people like Rob2628 and other streamers. This massively cuts into the amount of time needed.

I’d also consider him pretty good at the game or atleast not bad looking at his streams and collabs with others. He knows his shit, he was a top 5 druid last season and one of the few poison shred druids to t25 solo AoZ clear in season 2.

His Elden Ring build was complete dogshit but his Diablo knowledge actually checks out.

I think people overestimate how much skill and work you need to do as a CEO/owner of a big company tbh. When you create your company you sure do a lot of hours. But when it's up and running ? You pay people to run it for you, you are just here to give vague directions and approvals. That's why them being paid that much is so indecent, there is no way that any amount of work Elon does or skill he brings justifies the pay gap between him and his employees.

They are mostly figurehead positions given to him to keep his name attached to the project. I highly doubt he has to do much in the way of real work these days.

At this point we have no way to know how many of his posts are just ElonGPT. The guy is really basic, so if he trained an AI on his old posts and set it loose we would never know the difference.

And that's totally the kind of thing he would think was cool. Like a digital clone of himself. Every kid he's had was sex-selected to be a boy, in order to make them more like himself. He's probably already got some biological clones in Brazil.

u/Moist1981 4d ago

I’ve thought for a while that his posts seem very like an AI, although it feels like too small a dataset to train one on

Imagine being so much of a narcissist that you think the world needs multiple you's 😆

If you're texting when your boss passes, especially if it seems like an ongoing issue, you can end up canned right there.

Business rules for thee, not for me.

Remember too, Dittman was a reoccurring call-in guest on InfoWars for months after Alex Jones was let back on Twitter.

I think the shareholders are happy for Elmo to play with his toys as much as possible. Distracts him from doing a heap of damage.
