I don't know what is worse: her crazy eyes that scream I'LL SLICE OFF YOUR COCK AND STIR FRY IT!, or that kid on the right inheriting Elon's "I HAVE DOWN SYNDROME AND FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME" face.
Lots to hate. Read up about the account of the monkeys they tested the chip on and the truly heartbreaking shit about how this monkey had formed a friendship with another monkey in the cage next to it and
would hold hands to support one another when the Jeet scientist came in to "experiment" on them.
All of his kids will be technically mixed race as he's part jewish, malaysian, and indonesian. His Wikipedia is still protected from editing his ethnic background. But his attending jewish schools and living in israel as a teenager are well documented. There's pictures of him as a kid celebrating jewish holidays. So he can offer any excuse he wants publicly as to why he was raised as a jew. And his supporters can pretend he's 100% White all they want and delude themselves.
But the point is that his ancestry is accounted for and he's heavily mixed. Which is why he got so much plastic surgery to change his eye and jaw shape to look more Aryan. And his public relations teams protect his Wikipedia biography. And he does stuff like flashing Nazi hand signals in public to throw off the scent. You'll get the usual mentally ill idiots defending him in this thread even.
When the DNA registry '23AndMe' was hacked, the group only took data of people who had results of being ashkenazi jewish or chinese, and no other group. To the surprise of no one Elon Musk was found in the jewish set. This is yet another thing that you cannot edit into his Wikipedia biography.
Makes some sense. "Elon" is itself a Hebrew name and he was certainly hanging around Jewish families when he was a rich kid in South Africa. Even his dads business of selling emeralds (it wasn't an emerald mine in SA, it was an above ground rock outcropping that contained emeralds in Zambia--but Elon forgets to mention that last part and assumes we all think mines
have to be holes burrowed into the earth.)
Oh, and that time Elon got bullied in school and pushed down a flight of stairs which required hospitalization (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.) Yeah, Elon had been bullying that kid about his fathers resent death by suicide. Errol admits when he went to the hospital Elon convinced him he needed to have the other boy arrested and punished, but then he heard the
whole story from fellow students, teachers and the police themselves and decided Elon basically instigated the whole thing and deserved what he got.
But Elon tells it a very different way. More of his manipulative ways.
Now heres a personal pet theory thats less provable than everything else I've spilled about Elon.
Attack on Edison
So we all know Elon owns Tesla Motors ("founded" it as in he bought the rights to call himself the "founder" from the guys who started the company and did the grunt work at first.) Rumor has it that Elon originally wanted to call it "Edison" but the family of Edison is still alive so had he done that he'd had to have paid them royalties. Tesla, on the other hand, never hand kids so he's free game. This is what I've been told.
Now I've also read that Elon aspired to be the next Edison so I do wonder if the rumor is truth. Anyways, prior to around 2010 Tom Edison was still a fairly popular guy. History had begun tweaking the narrative of "the man who invented the light bulb" towards "successful American inventor/spokesman."
For example; in an old Simpsons episode Homer aspires to out-invent Edison, failing of course, but only to discover at the end of the episode that Edison had himself struggled to be a better inventor than Galileo. But during this episode, despite being a sort of antagonist to Homer, we never really see Edison mocked or humiliated or called out as a bad guy. In fact, the truth is well understood.
Edison wasn't a monster. The truth is he was actually a decent guy. He didn't invent the lightbulb, which is a far more complex device that had precursors prior to his
research lab finally finding a viable design (which actually changed significantly over the years.) Edison
did invent things on his own but primarily during his time working for Western Union and primarily in the field of telegraphy. He steamrolled this success into opening a research lab, which was his greatest contribution to humanity, which invented a number of things.
We also know Edison was against war, would only build defensive weapons during WW1 and was proud he never created an invention that intentionally killed people like a weapon. He was also a vegetarian later in life, exactly why is unknown, but we could theorize he did so on some moral grounds considering his staunch anti-war stance. Edison was also pretty supportive of other inventors, despite being a somewhat cut-throat business man. When Bell debuted the telephone at the Worlds Fair Edison was disappointed in himself for having not thought of it (a man who'd spent his early life in telegraphy and who's lab had invented the phonograph hadn't seen the obvious invention of joining electricity and the vibrations of sound waves.)
But Edison didn't flip out on Bell or steal his invention. He'd noticed that Bells prototype was weak and barely carried the sound. He ended up working out a deal with Bell to supply him with a better diaphragm device (which he'd had thanks to his work on the phonograph) as well as an amplifier to strengthen the signal (which he was well versed in having worked in telegraphy for so many years.) This sounds more like a man who respected thinkers like himself, hell, maybe was as excited for their discoveries as he was his own.
Nikola Tesla
Tesla wasn't an idiot by any measure but he was no business man. In fact he didn't seem to be able to manage his own life very well outside of invention. Edison gave him a job early in his career when he moved to America and Edison saw that he was a brilliant thinker. While Edison was historically more celebrated than Tesla he was far from an unknown. Every electrical engineer of the last century knew who Nikola Tesla was. And besides, Edison was a household name because he was a good spokesman, a bit like PT Barnum.
Critics often cite some harsh words Tesla said about Edison when Edison died. This paragraph sounds judgmental when taken on its own. It basically calls Edison out as a "trial and error" type inventor whereas Tesla worked out solutions in his mind before building. No one will dispute this fact. Edison was a hands on tinkerer whereas Tesla was more of a polymath. What those critics never do is supply the entire speech Tesla gave about Edison, which goes on to be very flattering and respectful. In fact, Tesla himself seems to have had no hard feelings about Edison, merely making an observation on how inventors reached their goal.
If anyone burned Tesla it was his later business partner Westinghouse, who'd basically cheated Tesla out of becoming the richest man on earth by begging him to void the royalties he'd promised for his electrical grid system. To Westinghouses credit he did pay for Tesla's hotel room until he died but this is an insult compared to the fortune Tesla would've made had he
renegotiated for a lower royalty rather than forgive it entirely.
In fact, Tesla himself had made mistakes like Edison. He'd wasted investor money chasing wireless electricity when he should've been inventing wireless telegraphy. A failure he himself later admitted when Marconi made the first wireless telegram. Tesla also used WW1 as a chance to try and drum up more investor money by promising to invent futuristic weapons that'd vaporize soldiers. Seems like he had less morality than Edison in some regards.
Elon Muskrat
How does this all tie into Musk? Well, when Musky bought Tesla it sure seemed like the newer "Edison is evil and Tesla is the misunderstood genius" narrative started to fire up. I suspect Elon's PR team, or maybe he himself, organized this by pulling strings behind the scenes. Elon has had contacts in Hollywood for decades (Peter Thiel and Him were producers of
Thank You For Smoking, the kind of snarky edgy movie you could see those 2 gooning out to.)
We've seen Elon whore himself on TV and in movies since 2009 onward. When South Park made fun of him he called them and offered to voice himself for part 2. That suggests Elon basically stalked his PR image in media. South Park had
not made the call, having down an impression of him as they usually do for celebrities in part 1 of the episode. Elon popped in to
Iron Man 2, How I Meet Your Mother, Rick and Morty, etc. All part of maintaining his "I'm the real Tony Stark" image.
"OH SHES MY FAVORITE CARTOON CHARACTER THOUGH!!!"
Several years back
Bobs Burgers did an episode about Edison thats totally bullshit yet the damage has been done. It was about Topsy the elephant being electrocuted to death. While I am a meat eater I do also believe elephants shouldn't be locked up and shown off as circus attractions. However, given the time in history this happened (Topsy killing a person) the elephants fate was sealed. The episode paints Edison as a maniacal freak hellbent on killing Topsy. But this is all lies.
Edison had no involvement whatsoever in Topsy's execution by electricity. We have no historical account on his feelings about it but based on his personality later in life I suspect he'd been horrified. Also, Edison didn't do it to prove that AC current was dangerous (the current wars argument.) Edison had already lost the current wars a decade earlier, by the time Topsy was being fitted for electrocution Edison had already adopted the AC system for his own power stations. Edison argued that AC would kill people, which is 100% true and since its adoption hundreds of thousands of people
have been killed and seriously injured by AC current. DC can be just as dangerous, of course, but the important thing is by the time of Topsy's execution AC had won and even Edison could admit that.
So
Bobs Burgers, everyones favorite show with smartass kids voiced by adults, really digs into this "Edison killed an elephant" which is a complete and utter lie. Good luck undoing that damage. Meanwhile Telsa has become a folk-hero to the public despite not being all that great of a human being and also having never really been forgotten by history (can anyone name any other researcher that worked with Edison? Most people can't tell you who invented the telephone or who Marconi was.)
Its all Elons Fault
I suspect Elon was behind all of this. Its all speculation on my part but my gut says it was him. He was jealous he could never be Edison (which most sane people realize isn't possible since Edison lived during a particular time of electrical scientific discovery that will never happen again.) He couldn't name his shitty car company after Edison without having to
pay people other than himself money?!?!? So Elon did what he could do, be a bigger spokesman whore than Edison (who is handicapped by death) and just sabotage Edisons legacy (which prior to that was adjusting towards the truth--he was a brilliant inventor and businessman who's biggest contribution was the research lab.)
Elon even donated money to the Tesla museum (which I'm not against since I like Tesla just fine and he probably does deserve a museum somewhere.) Sorry for the article long post but theres a ton of history that needed to be told and I sincerely think Elon's the insecure bitch thats behind the new "Edison kills elephants" narrative.
