one of the most antisocial people has made social media his raison d’être. anything he creates will be twisted to mirror his undeveloped skill with actual people (which is painfully apparent with each public appearance.)

No- he has no idea what it means to be a friend Ppl are only nice to him because he’s rich. Same with Elon. These guys are so desperate to be looked at as cool or funny. Problem is those are 2 things you can’t buy. Just like you can’t buy true friendship

Nope.

No, and I also think anyone who has been extremely wealthy for years falls into the same category. The people around them want to be part of their lifestyle and most of them trust no one. They don’t have friends.

Not for the last twenty years at a minimum.

Look no further than Elon posting on Twitter that he doesn't know why people hate him so much. This was after doing two Nazi salutes and firing people across the board in the government, including vets, ruining tens of thousands of lives.

Basically every industry at this point. It's all short-term thinking, budget cuts, & screwing over workers & consumers so they can get just a bit more for themselves. I do fleet maintenance. Our boss's boss keeps rejecting orders for tires. Wouldn't want the trucks to be able to go anywhere lmao

I've followed the industry for so long that I really don't *want* to know that much more about him!

it's extraordinarily cringe; you can watch the Nvidia keynotes on YouTube if you want to cringe so hard you roll into a ball (although reading about Zuck freaking out if slices on tomato on the plate touch made him slightly more human because he's clearly extremely neurodivergent)

No disagreement there. I recently left a Big 4 firm under somewhat similar circumstances. Her story for me was relatable; cathartic. Am I complicit in gen ai? One could make a case I reckon, wasn’t my intention tho. But. Best of intentions, yada yada yada, etc, etc 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hence the need!

These are the ppl who say dumb shit like “to be afraid to cut off a friendship if not financially beneficial to you”

Sorry should have friends in quotations, I’m aware it was “business” lol

Still hoping for the sequel where we get to see Jesse Eisenberg be a sweaty robot at a Congressional hearing.

Yes, that's the "Great Gatsby" quote she took the title of her book from.

No. But I think he genuinely thinks he would like this. Meetings where he desn't need to look anyone in the eye. Friends programmed to say the correct response. Someone who will just listen to him talk about trains for an hour.

Bingo

For sure, but in fairness, this guy is getting manipulated all the fucking time 🙃 look at how many bad bets and gormless bullshit his career is full of. Rich people probably believe the rest of us are also *this* lonely because their own lives are so meaningless

No, but I do think it will be funny to teach him. I have enough friends and will make it very apparent.

I don't think anyone with that much money can be. Even in the most normal interactions, the money's always in the background. When you add that on top of the fact he's a dude who made that money turning friendship into a video game, yeah I truly believe he has fewer than three friends. Three fewer.

No He hasn’t had a real friend in 20 years, minimum

He’s never had a friend

Flat no

Like Elon, Peter Thiel and other Incel Valley fuckwads, he has no concept of human relationships.
