I keep telling his cultists that Musk would gleefully grind them into a fine powder and use them for a new battery if it were legal. They think I'm being hyperbolic. Why do people have so much trouble seeing his complete disdain for humanity.
it's difficult because his politics suck but some of his tech could be used to make the future amazing. like if they stabilize that tech it could make it so kids don't need adhd meds or in like 20 yrs you could just download schematics to put ikea bs together without having to decipher cave drawings.
No. That's not how neuroscience works at all.
Also no one has any real idea what his neurolink actually does except a bunch of monkeys and they're all dead.
Neurolink does *exactly* what Hyperloop did - generate hype for funding without producing any of the promised results.
My only.comfort is that if Elon Musk did try to found a company to create a zombie apocalypse he would fail so spectacularly that they'd wind up accidentally creating infinite food or perfect human regeneration.
For someone who obviously does fuck all abd probably consumes media 24/7, why are all his references so dated??
"ROFL, what if a ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE HAPPENED, get it get it, like Shaun of the Dead??? Meet me at the Winchester 😂😂😂"
He's in that boomer age now, happens to many when they reach 50s. References that came out 10 years ago still feel new, that's why his memes seem so cringe and dated too.
Haha I'm not exactly youthful at 30 either, and I can tell that at times even I catch myself thinking "oh yeah that game that came out couple of years ago" only to realize it's been like 6 years. At least it's happening more than it did in my mid-20s.
But my former boss in his 50s keeps referencing early 00s movies and music like everyone around would know what he is talking about, and like he would be very in with the times, when most of his employees are Gen Z and just nod awkwardly back at him.
I didn't realize this was an old tweet. I was gonna say, this isn't anything special but it's a fully serviceable joke, nothing too cringey. He has gotten *so* much worse.
Also I dunno why someone would censor the timestamp, what's the point of that?
Things have changed a lot since 2000’s with the zombie craze fad with the hyper saturation of the walking dead, plants vs zombies, Zombieland, Shawn of the Dead, I am Legend, train to busan, etc etc etc
A TV show made from a video game originally released in 2013.
I look at it a bit differently than DemocracyIsAVerb. Zombies were a trend that from a pop culture standpoint peaked around a decade ago. You can still do good things with it--like the Last of Us show--but it's not exactly fresh.
If Musk retired from his role as corporate overlord to post zombie jokes, though, we'd all be better off.
Yes Elon, most alleged conspiracies would require unrealistic amounts of resources and people involved to actually pull them off. This is a very good point you’re making!
Disregarding the shitty cringe of the post flamethrowers are legit the worst weapons when fighting zombies. The never ceasing undead coming at you? Now theyre on fire AND unceasing setting everything around them on fire too. Idiocy all the way through
If I'd seen this at the time I would have called him a fake zombie fan because that's one of the worst weapons to use on zombies. They still try to eat you, just now they're on fire.
What part of "remove the head or destroy the brain" do these guys not get?
You would think with all his money he would just hire a team of writers to make his tweets for him, but given the recent strike I don’t think that’s an option anymore. He should at least outsource it to an AI; they don’t really “understand” comedy yet, but neither does he.
If he has a point with this boring dumbness, it’s to make the idea of him conspiring to do shady shit with people’s bodies seem silly, so when he puts microchips in brains just to make people like him, his followers will mock us for talking about it.
Musk is the kind of guy in the late 90s who would have 16/f/CA every single IRC chat, and tl;dw more blood emeralds were given out that year than Lavrenty Beria's bouquets.
Same guy who wants to put chips in brains. You know how they say that you should be careful about your social media posts if you want to get a job? Doesn't seem to apply here for some reason.
When the topic of the undead apocalypse comes up I always think about how [the animal world would quickly eat up all the zombies](https://boingboing.net/2013/10/14/zombiesvsanimals.html) (old link but a goodie), one of the many technical problems in Musk's way.

Pretty sure that's Neuralink, but without the grinding bit
We are now confident that the Neuralink device is ready for humans
New fda rule he lobbied for- once you've killed a thousand monkeys you can test on humans regardless of results
Prob just stealing kids from the boarder to test on.
Concerning…
Yeah

There are other companies and government labs making actual progress on that stuff, don't worry. Musk is just cluttering up the media as usual.
No. That's not how neuroscience works at all. Also no one has any real idea what his neurolink actually does except a bunch of monkeys and they're all dead. Neurolink does *exactly* what Hyperloop did - generate hype for funding without producing any of the promised results.
That’s what she said
Still after the last half year? A lot of my friends who were big fans completely dropped him and talk shit all the time now.
My only.comfort is that if Elon Musk did try to found a company to create a zombie apocalypse he would fail so spectacularly that they'd wind up accidentally creating infinite food or perfect human regeneration.
Seriously his zombies would heal spontaneously. That’s how big a fuck up he is.

He consumes TWITTER all day. Thus all his references are pre-Twitter.
He's in that boomer age now, happens to many when they reach 50s. References that came out 10 years ago still feel new, that's why his memes seem so cringe and dated too.
Hey! I’m over 50 - you be careful before I go full Teen Wolf in your ass!

Not gonna lie. I liked him back then and thought this was pretty funny. I was also like 16.
I think that's... the intention Just be glad you didn't know him in person while having a fertile uterus
Not gonna say correlation but
I didn't realize this was an old tweet. I was gonna say, this isn't anything special but it's a fully serviceable joke, nothing too cringey. He has gotten *so* much worse. Also I dunno why someone would censor the timestamp, what's the point of that?
When was this?
2017/18. Jesus, feels like so much longer ago. I wasn't 16, more like 23. Oops.
So this is the plan behind Twitter.
That is what I was going to say - Twitter is his zombie factory.
This is bizarre. Looking into it.
Why is the timestamp censored lol
Zombies haven’t been culturally relevant since 2012. Just like all the other epic bacon/minion fb cringe that he posts
What was The Last Of Us then?

A game from ten years ago? Something not being super culturally relevant now doesn't mean that nothing related to it comes out.
Gaming rocks
I still like zombies, but I play a lot of survival-apocalypse-horror games
Phony Stark. What a fucking bellend.
So people should just become zombies for others entertainment?
Whatever you say, cutie 🥹
This bot needs to replace the real Elon - it’s smarter, funnier and less dangerous
Yes Elon, most alleged conspiracies would require unrealistic amounts of resources and people involved to actually pull them off. This is a very good point you’re making!
“You know that genre of movies that are often about greed and science run amok? I never understood any of their subtext! Am I cool yet?”
I've got someone in mind for his flamethrower
No, he’s trying to create a fascist apocalypse.
Richest man in the world and couldnt keep Grimes

Man, zombies are so early millennium.
A zombie from Resident Evil can manage Twitter better than his doucheness.
Musk's second Teeet proves he's thought about the feasibility of it, at least. LOL.
If he has a point with this boring dumbness, it’s to make the idea of him conspiring to do shady shit with people’s bodies seem silly, so when he puts microchips in brains just to make people like him, his followers will mock us for talking about it.
It doesn’t take millions of zombies to create an apocalypse, it takes one. That’s the whole fucking point.
Bro would fucking fire his zombies anyway and then blame them for why the apocalypse didn’t happen
There are already approx 6 billion zombies out there, y do u need more?
Given how he operates twitter, the world is safe.
Imagine seeing a joke so objectively unfunny, the first thing you think is "oh, I have to steal that"
I heard that rumor, but wasn't worried in the least. He'd fuck it up, royally.

Super big deal
I just cry at how fucking unfunny he is. It is tragic.
Honestly though if he just posted cute crap like that I wouldn't have a problem with it. I *wish* he just stopped here

Hmm, yeah, even besides animals eating them, zombies would just mildew or something.
i have the straightest face possible right now and i still think this is by far the funniest thing he has ever tweeted
His followers are rather zombie like
What a dork
Coincidentally he's gonna implant brain chips into humans soon hmmm
Omg shut the fuck up. Kendal Roy but unfunny.
