The whole Greenland/Canada/Gulf of America is just bullshit to make headlines and look like he's doing something. Can you imagine.. we rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and all our problems will be solved.

Appropriately sums up the GOP as it's also the shittiest body of water ever.

Quin69 (PoE2 pro) posted a take-down of Elon's build/play in PoE2, Charlie (penguinz0) did a follow up.



TLDR: He pays to win, and he's super cringy about it. Claims to be in the top ten players of game after game. It kinda illustrates how he operates.

Dude pays Chinese team of grinders so he can pretend to be awesome gamer.

Chinese Grinders is either the name of my crust punk band or Pan-Asian Banh Mi shop that also sells Bao. Also things are shaping up nicely when that guy from King of Kong is the most important human in the world. Remember when something like a high score in a video game was shameful to anyone but the most ardent nerd or prepubescent child? Progress.

Or make up an alias to impress losers on 4chan and fail at even doing that.

Billy Mitchell has no glory. He's another adult trying to impress gamers by, well, I can't actually say because he'll sue me. From memory, he used an articulated stick and claimed it was a free-moving stick. That was the claim as I remember. It gets progressively more yucky from there.

I think that was the point I was trying to make by likening Musk to him....but as a Gen X old fart I also think it's unhealthy that you are trying to dissect this any further.

Good point. Let's hope it all shakes out for Elon like it did for Billy.
