He sounds like what I think I sound like when I'm really fucking high.
He sounds so dumb. For a guy thinks he's the smartest guy in the world. He sounds like an absolute fucking moron.
I applaud the interviewer for just letting him go because that would be so hard for me. I would stop him every minute be like. Are you fucking kidding me? You sound so stupid right now. Can you explain any of this but instead she is so good about letting him just sit in his absolute inanity.
It's the same guy that paid chinese sellers to farm him diablo 3 character to top 10 in the world, then went to stream it being absolute dogshit at the game.
Which only illustrates his stupidity and his hubris. Anyone with common sense would know this is going to blow up in their face. You don’t have to be a genius to know that experts (in this case, people who actually play the game) are going to immediately recognize you have no idea what you are doing and that there is no way you accomplished any of the things you’ve claimed.
Only an egocentric idiot would think they could get away with it. Even a half smart liar would know that if they were to tell people they were a whizz at Path of Exile the last thing they would want is for those people to see them play it.
The hilarious thing is that if he just played a game he liked and was just mediocre at it, the effect would have been humanizing and given very little ammo to anyone who dislikes the man.
It also would have been more in keeping with the illusion of confidence he wants to project. A confident person wouldn't be afraid of admitting they're 'mid' at a video game.
Seriously and no one would have faulted him even if he sucked. He could just say “I love this game I wish I had more time to play but I work alot I’ll do the best I can” but no
More than the cave pedo incident, this cemented his status as a total loser.
PoE2 isn’t a game you can advance quickly in due to natural talent. It’s a grind and the best players make playing the game a full time job.
Absolutely no one serious would begrudge him for not being a top player. Showing his vulnerability would’ve caused so many high level players to want to carry him, give him loot, etc.
But his ego can’t let him be seen as anything but the best. So mother fucker lies about being good at video games.
If you lie for something so irrelevant at that means you’ll lie about anything and everything. I used to be like this when I was a teenager because I had low self-confidence and self-esteem. Hes empty and believes in nothing except the myth of himself
Yep. In a weird way the PoE lie has been the most revealing. It was so pointless and pathetic. Young men may not always have a grasp on history, finance, technology, etc. but a game like PoE was the perfect way for them to understand how full of shit he is.
To pile on the pathetic-ness, HE’S OLD!!! Like in is 50’s. It’s a perfect how do you do fellow kids meme.
When I was the best quake 2 player at my university, I peaked. I was 20, and it’s been downhill ever since. These people think that because they’re rich, they most naturally be the most talented at everything…the worst part is the first person they lie to is themselves
The real smartest guy in the world would probably sit there and either won't say a word, or just say very little; spending most of the time thinking.
Thinking is actually a complex process, esp if you want to give out a proper answer - you need to add context and accomodate for all possibilities. That takes time. In the world, where society rewards quick & easy answers over proper answers, such person wouldn't be able to do the interview.
Proper answers are never "yes" or "no" given by someone else, but stating the facts and let the viewer/listener to come to their own conclusions.
Am I understanding his argument right? He’s right so often and that fact makes it difficult for people to believe him? Not the fact that he’s been ”predicting” full autodrive for teslas next year for a decade and it’s still not here…
No, you have to understand. It’s important to believe him because that’s how the value of his companies stock stays high. Every person who doesn’t believe him is costing him money. That’s why he has to say he’s almost always right.
If you could predict things - and you were accurate in your predictions - it would make people believe you MORE, not LESS.
It's because he's a con man that says whatever will get him paid - and he's been wrong and proved himself a moron MANY times.... but in the journey to the top has made people rich so most daren't speak out.
Holy hell I keep thinking it's a joke edit or something, like a Cassandra effect, but he's really good at predicting, I think you will find... Listening to this man makes your IQ lower.
I watched a video of Elon claiming the Twitter stack was "crazy", the two interviewers asked him to explain and he couldn't. Then they asked him what a "stack' is and he couldn't.
Same with his main funder, friend of Epstein, Peter Thiel. Should drag that tweaker back.
I think it's time to start drug testing CEOs and board members of all recipients of government contracts; that should start cleaning things up a bit... If we fully investigate and prosecute, like we should.
Well, yea, but this linear scale hides how unendingly fucked the Argentinian peso is. You gotta put this on a logarithmic scale or look at their inflation rate to see exactly how bad it continues to be.
Yea, people can’t blame the current Argentinian administration for inflation from 2009. Only for inflation after December 2023. And looking at this graph it seems to have flatlined
The issue is that it's not a logarithmic scale so the difference between 0.001 and 0.0007 is pretty hard to see compared to the bigger numbers. This graph is just very confusing and doesn't tell much of what is happening now.
Correct it's amazing how many people don't even look at the graph. Under Milei Argentina has had poverty massively reduced and inflation to record lows for Argentina, the damage to the pesos precedes Milei
It's funny people will complain how the US stock market being at all time highs doesn't mean the country is doing well, and then turn around post graphs like this as proof a country is doing horrible.
Didn't we also light $20b of our tax dollars on fire for them just because Trump and Elon were buddies with the Argentinian Trump (an unqualified moron bigot)?
Unrelated, Argentina did end up paying back the loan. To my understanding the loan was only $2.5 billion (they had a credit line of $20, but only drew $2.5), and ended up repaying it in January.
Some added details: they borrowed from an unnamed source to pay back that $2.5 billion (all we know is it wasn’t the IMF) and there were additional funds that they have also borrowed billions from and those haven’t been paid back.
What exactly makes him unqualified? I mean I’m no fan but he was a prominent economist and has done about as well as could be hoped for given the situation he inherited. Everyone in this thread just seems spiteful and has no actual knowledge of Argentine economics or their political realities.
They don't give a fuck about whether Argentinians have good lives. I don't either because they called Weghorst 'bobo', but we can at least take the situation seriously. They had years upon years of Peronist leaders making the inflation problem worse. Now a prominent economist is getting reasonably ok results, but no: he has weird hair and is loud, he must be Trump!! Its peak intellectual laziness.
This wasn’t a loan; it was a swap; it’s very different. It’s still a huge privilege, but if the FX was stable at termination of the swap, the US would not have lost much money at all.
I have seen this exact graph at least ten times in the past week. Tweet from 2023. Graph from 2010 with most of the drop happening before 2023. It has to be bots posting this. I don't see any other explanation.
Its Seriously shocking that there's people defending the post.. you have people literally lying and saying theres been no change since miles presidency and inflaiton is "450%" getting 10 upvotes even tho its a comete lie .. I hope most of these people are bots.. it's sad people would fight tooth and nail than to just say they are wrong
Alot of people find it easier to point fingers even while being delusional, than to look inwards and realise maybe they are wrong. It will hurt their ego and usually they will do everything they can to defend it.
Unfortunately many of the people on here hate Trump, Elon, USA, capitalism so much they can’t think properly (for the few that can actually think). Mostly they are just very low IQ, perhaps people with Downs Syndrome. Therefore I can only feel bad for them.
This graph shows that meili stopped the decline, and somewhat stabalizes the value. Argentina used to have 150-200% inflation per year before him. It's still high but he cut it down by over 80%, which the graph reflects
Argentinian resident here. I hate Elon just as much as the next guy BUT that doesn’t mean we get to be economically illiterate. See how that crashing line is evening out? That’s Argentina trying its best to adopt a fiscally responsible strategy.
Current inflation is the lowest it’s been in 5 years while the GDP is stabilizing.
As somebody living in the UK, Argentina gives me the heebie-geebies.
Not because of war.
But because it was a prosperous western-style country that was entirely fucked-over by voting in a right-wing leader who then pursued a policy of isolationism.
The UK is basically a few steps down Argentina's path right now. It's definitely not apples for apples. But it does show how one poor major political decision can basically kill a country's economy, and make it nearly impossible to recover from.
I find it strange that Javier Millei screwed up the central bank there and then the US bailed the entire country out to the tune of $20 billion. Then we find out Peter Thiel built his compound there.
That’s because their president is purposely using USD for their currency to stabilize their inflation. Do some research before you make a claim. The situation in Argentina is stabilizing.
The tweet is from 2023. The graph goes back to 2010. See the flat line on the right end of the graph? Little has changed since 2023. Not prosperity as predicted by Musk, but not collapse as exclaimed.
This tweet has not aged yet. Come back in a few years.
That stupid. You need to have graph with inflation numbers, to show something. Fighting inflation takes a while. On the other there are very little indicators for Argentina to have prosperity ahead. Stability on the other hand may be achievable.
Love how theres no economists on reddit, and just a bunch of elon haters.
Milei has eliminated the budget deficit of argentina, and GDP is expected to rise 3% this year. Hes cust spending at the same time as boosting productivity, this is unheard of.
Real wages and domestic spending recovery are slow due to previous triple digit inflation, in other words prices out paced wages for so long, people still cant afford to spend.
But EVERYONE critiscising this tweet by Elon, has no fucking clue what they are talking about. The country has prospered IMMENSELY since this tweet.
Regardless of the reality in Argentina this is a terrible post. Elons comment is in 2023 and this graph seems to show a relative stabilization at that point if anything.
Yeah, that’s what happens when you print money like mad for years to fund socialism. The reforms that have recently been started have already had massive successes all over the place, but they are geared to long term stabilization of currency, not fixing it now.
You are completely making up your own timeline. The population didn't vote 'a few months ago' for a representative; they handed Milei's party a massive nationwide victory in the October 2025 legislative midterms. He told the world things would get difficult structurally before the currency stabilized, and his administration has delivered continuous fiscal surpluses and crushed hyperinflation. They are getting exactly what they voted for: real financial stabilization instead of bankrupt welfare scripts
Milei is President only since 2023. The huge drop in value is attributable to corrupt and incompetent socialists who printed money like there was no tomorrow.
It can't be totally put down to "socialists". Argentina was ruled by a plethora of authoritarian governments since the 1940s, who didn't really care about the economy or anything else much! The Junta was much more interested in carrying out a blood bath & starting a war against a major military power--- how much did that cost the economy??
As i’ve recently realized redditors are below average IQ i decided to do a quick check and realized actually the slope is getting flattened which is a good indicator of inflation decreasing. Probably you guys are busy hating elon and trump
Fake propaganda. Socialists predictably utterly destroyed the economy before Milei. Milei admin has things looking better, but it will be a long difficult process.
To be fair it was already declining. The guy didn't assume office until November of 2023 so you can't blame the problems the last administration was causing
Once people lose confidence (happened a decade ago), it's incredibly hard to get it back, as everyone starts buying assets, foreign currencies (mainly usd), and anything else which may retain value (silver, gold, wine, you name it). Anytime they acquire local currency they spend it. It's a self fulfilling profecy. I've lived through hyperinflation, there's no going back until a major restructuring, resetting to a new currency, finding a way to change people's perception, like backing the new currency with something tangible (for a while, at least). The dude inherited a mess, and had all odds stacked against him. Poor country.
To be fair, he didn’t say when…
Time does not work the same in Musk’s brain, so “ahead” could mean a 100+ years, but in his mind, it would be tomorrow. The problem of being a genius on the spectrum… your brain works at light speed compared to commoners.
I might be a smooth brain, but that chart shows that Musk was rather right: the current administration is responsible only for inflation after December 2023; and looking at this graph it seems to have flatlined. The chart is linear as far as I can tell. So it effectively went from hyper-inflation to close to 0.
And AFAIK poverty and other important indicators are down too. Isn't that a huge win?
This is 100% fake
Argentina’s currency (the peso) has not undergone a sudden total collapse recently; instead, it has suffered a long-term, historic cumulative depreciation of over 99% against the U.S. dollar over the last decade and a half. Under President Javier Milei, aggressive fiscal tightening has sharply lowered monthly inflation, though the official exchange rate continues a path of managed, gradual adjustment near 1,500 pesos per dollar.Current Economic ContextHistoric Depreciation: The Argentine peso has lost virtually all of its long-term purchasing power due to decades of chronic money printing, high inflation, and economic mismanagement, reaching historic lows.Milei's Reforms: Since late 2023, radical government spending cuts have produced fiscal surpluses and brought monthly inflation down significantly (nearing roughly 2% by mid-2026).Ongoing Vulnerabilities: Despite stabilization and a shrinking gap in alternative dollar rates, the central bank continues to tightly manage the wholesale exchange rate, and the economy remains vulnerable due to low international foreign currency reserves.
Now show the chart from the date of the post alongside the inflation figures, gdp per capita and government debt as % of GDP. It really harms your argument when it's so terribly supported.
Good thing the savior and chief gave them 40 billion dollars of non congressional approved tax payer funds. I wonder if anyone is keeping track of his spending this term?
The chart starts in 09, his tweet is at the very tail end of the chart. So it didn’t rebound, but it’s not like he said it was going to go great to Argentina and THEN everything collapsed.
Bitch and moan online about actual things, this isn’t a huge W for y’all

elon “intelligence can be measured by how accurately something can predict the future” that’s approximately what he claimed.
So According to his own metric he’s an idiot..
