If I'm going to live in a cyberpunk mega corp. hellscape, at least give me some Blade Runner achitecture and flying cars, not everything from the 1990's/2000's but falling apart athestitics.
we live in a cyberpunk dystopia without any of the cool cyberpunk stuff
Take the "Tesla Robot" for example - something that will never make it to market or be practical in any way, and something that we've had the technology to do for about 3 decades now. These retards will play pretend with each other and get other retards to believe them. This has been Elon's entire source of wealth. Him, and likewise many others, entire source of wealth is derived from fraud.
It's all just a scam. Everything is somebody's grift.
There will never be any actual cool shit made. Why? There's no reason to. There is no market incentive to do so when you can just lie and say you did like a child and you have an army of insane people and jeets who reinforce that lie. No matter the truth, the stock price still goes up.
It wasn't always this way. As much as their legacy has been resigned to the title of "robber barons", we use to have men in this country like Andrew Carnegie that built railroads that spanned the entire continent, John D. Rockefeller who forged America's petroleum industry. While their business practices may have been unethical, you can't bullshit your way to being a oil monopoly. They built things that objectively improved America and the standard of living for all.
What has the average person benefited from Elon? You can't even say the nigger word on
Twitter X without getting banned.
What has the average person benefited from a person like Jeff Bezos? Oh wow, I can get Prime Day Deals of cheap plastic junk made in a sweatshop delivered to CONSOOM faster.
The American economy is a hybrid between Herbalife and Solar Roadways and Elon is the poster child.
No one could have ever predicted how sterile, gay, and boring the future was going to be.
