Does Leon want to be a real boy?

[thewayne]

And by Leon, I mean Leon Muskbrat, the world's richest manchild.

(He's officially Leon 'cause the Prez called him that twice, so that makes it official.)

3am Saturday morning, Leon posted a Grok-generated video of a 'woman' that resembles his ex-wife and weirdly-named child's mother Grimes, who smiles and says "I will always love you" in a very bad lip sync.

I'm a little unclear whether he thinks this was a spiffy tech demo or showing off something that he did or just what this was.

The 87-y/o acclaimed author Joyce Carol Oates had a very interesting observation:

“So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history,” Oates wrote.

“In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the ‘most wealthy person in the world,'” Oates concluded.

WOW. Pity he can't take Tylenol for such a burn as it might cause him to become autistic.

He, of course, retorted and tried to disprove her observations and, in doing so, pretty much reinforced them.

But I was thinking about her statement of how it could be used as a metric about what a lot of political figures post about. Now, Leon, AKA the Ketamine Kid, AKA The Edgelord, AKA the frat boy who never grew up and hires gamers so that he himself can appear to be a skilled online gamer, this clearly applies. I can't imagine how boring a conversation with him would be: he'd probably have to steer it towards himself and his companies so as to have something to talk about!

Right? Too late.

JCO DRAGGED HIM LIKE ACROSS 20 MILES OF EMERY BOARD AND IT WAS GLORIOUS.

I am LMAO at myself, because I apparently missed the whole Leon bit and didn't realize exactly who you were talking about until the end when you mentioned Tesla and Musk in the same sentence. LOL.............

Hugs, Jon

Leon Muskbrat, world's richest manchild in the first line wasn't enough?!

[disneydream06]

I really don't remember the whole Leon misnomer. :o

[thewayne]

Yeah, Ol' Puddin'-for-Brains twice referred to him as Leon on Twitter, might have done it once in person!

[disneydream06]

Was this when they were having their falling out?

[thewayne]

No, actually early on in his admin when they were besties and seemed inseparable.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what happens when you overdo ketamine, kids. Pleasure centers - gone. Personal life - gone. Don't do it, kids!

I think the thing that would help him the most toward being able to connect to other people, instead of being the Pinocchio that he currently is, would be to divest himself of most of his wealth, to spread it around to everyone who could use it, not through his own methods, but for anyone who asks, and perhaps once he has stopped having all the means that he needs to for isolating himself from others, he'll have made some good friends and picked up interesting stories along the way. The man needs to see and participate in Brewster's Millions, but without the goal at the end where having spent it all, he'd get more.

We don't have a lot of Musk museum wings, or hospital wards.  Same can be said of a lot of the ultra-wealthy.

[silveradept]

Indeed. They're banking, mostly, on people not physically reminding them that wealth and money are both social contract things, and therefore subject to change at any moment if someone believes they're out of line strongly enough.
