When "The Wolf of Wall Street" was released in 2013, Toby Young complained about how it cast Jordan Belfort as a villain, when he should have been lauded as a hero.

In the film, there's a scene where he's exposed as a fraud and a pump/dumper by a newspaper - the next day, he's deluged with job applications from other sharks wanting a slice of the pie. By the end of the film, as he's given a slap on the wrist while the people who investigated and prosecuted him ride home on public transport, the message is clear - he's morally repugnant, but will never suffer materially. Life just ain't fair.

Main losers will be:

I saw a clip of a podcast called 'The Bulwark' on which the host interviewed some minor Silicon Valley 'angel investor' who said roughly the following:

1) Nobody had thought of cutting government expenditure until Musk ran DOGE
2) Space X valuation is right because in future we'll all have personal satellites or some such shit
3) Space X valuation was perhaps slightly overinflated but 1.2 trillion or so sounded good

I gave up not long after this.

It's a self-sustaining fantasy land. The costs are all pushed outwards, and we're supposed to revere these people.

Whut?

Can't somebody just chuck this cunt into one of those industrial scrap shredders in one of his shit egg-shaped cars?

Exactly what it says.

The law criminalises making child porn with the likes of Grok and Deepfake, and Musk was very loudly against it.

Yes. I know. It just amazes me how, every time we think he's hit the bottom, that walking pile of human filth finds new depths of depravity to plumb.

There's a German word that describes him but its historical usage prevents its usage these days.

Rotzende Fotze?

Not the one I was thinking of, but I like that

I thought the law was a bit broader than that?

I knew it was (thanks for posting the citation), but I wanted to address the specific question.

It still showcases what sort of man Musk is, and what sort of person he wants to keep happy.

It's the ultra-libertarian view, isn't it? "I should be able to do whatever I want, because freedom."

Harsh, but fair.

Apparently, King Fuckwit Trump has blamed Minnesota for a cyber attack on water systems in the US...





Coincidence?
