If there ever was a guy who could have become a real life Tony Stark, but instead he chose to be a 4chan edgelord. What a waste.

He didn't build much himself, so where could he be Tony Stark?

Neither did Tony Stark, excluding that one episode stuck in a cave with a box of scraps.

I the movies he is pretty much building himself. With high sophisticated tools but not build by other people.

Elon is literally the It-needs-to-be-pointy guy.

Though the movie character was partly based on Elon:

>According to Fergus, the character was inspired by an amalgam of real people — but none so much as Elon Musk. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/08/tony-stark-elon-musk...

I guess fiction is often cooler than reality.

Right, there weren't entire montages about him building them by himself.

And that's just the movies, the comics went way deeper.

Terrible take this time, I'm afraid.

You can criticize him all day. Reality is he is building rockets, electric cars, kids with multiple women, ai, neuralink, humanoid robots. Opinions of people are worthless. They think it matters because it gives them an illusion they are living a worthy life blah blah blah. At the end result matters.
Re:Hollywood Can't Ditch Its Teslas Fast Enough:"They're Des... by wilg on Saturday September 21, 2024 @03:44AM (#41608285)
I like the idea that "kids with multiple women" is somehow an achievement more notable than Neuralink or robots.

Perhaps it's a thing that incels admire. Elon is living the life they desire.

Also genetically varied offsprings from point of view of nature is probably the only measure on how successful your life is. Have stood the test of time for millions of years.

Beliefs and opinions like labeling someone else incel physiologically create an illusion that you are somehow better than me. If fooling yourself helps you physiologically why not I am an incel.

Truth is harder to reach and require more than word gimmicks.

For a farm animal.

Even among farm animals, it's the alpha that gets to impregnate most females. Other males probably just choose to watch. Human animals uses words like farm animals to justify their obvious failure to reproduce with a multitude of females.

if you want to measure success by how genetically varied your offspring is, go for it man. just a pretty fringe view. to most people, it's just extremely comical to use in this context.
Re:Hollywood Can't Ditch Its Teslas Fast Enough:"They're Des... by hwhwhwhhwhwh on Saturday September 21, 2024 @07:08AM (#41609200)
No. You can measure it through various lenses. This being one. Ideally you want to maximize the measurement across various lenses.

The only reason people find it funny is because most people can't afford to have kids with multiple women. Financially and time management wise. And probably the bar for women to have kids with someone who already have kids with many other women is also high. So by default 99.999 % of the men can't do this not because they choose not to. But they can't even if they want to.

So to protect you from this obvious failure psychologically, the body triggers a funny, absurd reaction when someone points it as a win musk has children with multiple women. It's okay.

the reason most men (85%) don't have kids with multiple women is not because they can't afford to financially

Strangely his children are all white. The continent of Africa has more genetic diversity than the rest of the world combined. Seems like he's not picking the mothers very well if he's maximising "genetic diversity" of his offspring.

I imagine you would also applaud fertility doctors who fraudulently use their own sperm and end up with 100+ children? Maybe they're winning at making a genetic impact, but it doesn't seem very admirable to me.

No, I rather like the fact my kids all have the same father, and all in wedlock, too.

Having lots of kids with different women is very common, especially in the lower classes, and not much of an achievement.

My dad has lots of half-siblings from three different mothers in total, and accordingly grew up without a father, and I very much did not want that for my own kids. Not even if it carried wealth and fame. I think you'll find if you ever have your own kids, two present parents cannot be wholly replaced with money.

Having all the facts about Musk clearly available now, the people who he got rich with, is clear evidence we perhaps chose to not see, or didn't yet see, the edgelord he always was.
Re:Hollywood Can't Ditch Its Teslas Fast Enough:"They're Des... by hwhwhwhhwhwh on Saturday September 21, 2024 @03:35AM (#41608236)
If those cherry picked definitions and ideas physiologically helps you justify why you didn't achieve remotely anything compared to what musk did sure why not.
