No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Omg who the hell CARES
Assistant manager at a Burger King. One day, he WILL make manager. You’ll see.
While he's definitely not the genius he makes himself out to be, he would be still in the tech space, qualified in IT or at the very least basic programming. Try to make a quick buck with some crypto stuff and be that guy you hear about with all the ideas but none of the skills to do anything about it.
And depending on his luck of who he can fool he has a chance to make it and be rich still. Its just not as rich as he is now with a head start on life.
I think your somewhat right.
He would definitely be making millions via crypto rug pulls. The only reason he doesn't do it now is he has so much money, that it's easier to just hype a coin like Doge
Posting exactly what he's posting now.

In his mom's basement, in cum-stained sweatpants, sitting hunched over in front of a cheap oversized monitor hooked up to an underpowered desktop PC with lots of LED, trolling on /b/ and /pol/ and jerking off to pokeporn.
This is the correct answer.
"Mooom, get me my CHEESY POOFS!"
So, no difference then?
As a matter of fact, yes.
I didn't make all that up on the spot. I already had the visual image in mind because that really is how I visualize him.
And I didn't even try to do it. When he first bought Twitter and started trolling professionally, I just found myself visualizing him doing it, and before I knew it, I had this crystal clear image of him sitting in front of a desktop PC on a rickety particle board desk in a dank basement room with white paint over concrete and green shag carpeting, lit only by the glow from a cheap monitor, wearing gross stained sweats and a hoodie, hunched over a grimey keyboard and occasionally giggling to himself.
I keep trying to visualize the more likely reality for a billionaire of some sort of extremely custom multi-monitor setup in the center of a purpose-built room, but it just won't stick.
That's some vivid and disturbing imagery! :-)
Of a vividly disturbing person.
Indeed 👍
Statistically?
Here. Not this very thread, but the fediverse in general.
He's very autistic, but if he weren't a billionaire the material conditions that made him a fascist wouldn't be there. (Although being from South Africa, he'd probably still be a massive Racist)
This means there's a 93.4% chance he'd be a smarmy Linux guy. Nowhere near as intelligent as he thinks he is and honestly pretty obnoxious, but harmless.
He doesn’t seem like a furry trans girl though.
Eh. There's plenty of cis bigoted dudes in the Furry fandom (and Musk would absolutely be a furry if he'd been given unlimited internet access without also being a public figure).
And on the fediverse for that matter, you just don't run into them as often here because most major instances ban (at least the more egregious) bigoted talk, and are also defederated from all the far-right instances.
Isn't he a furry already? Didn't he share a ratboy meme or something?
Look at the way he behaves.
People who behave like he behaves without money don't go anywhere in life because no one wants them to be around. He'd be working at a packing plant somewhere. Or a fast food counter. I say that because the guy isn't actually intelligent. He isn't some engineer that designs cars or rockets. He just bought the companies with the people who actually do that. And it doesn't take a genius to have a lot of money and invest it in safe bets. Look at Donald Trump. Guy is a moron but it's pretty easy to take daddy's money and buy/sell real estate. Musk would still look like the Gollum he looked like before he got REALLY rich and paid to make himself look different. He'd be alone, poor, and sad. I mean, he's clearly sad now because no one who's happy behaves the way he behaves. He's lonely because the only people who interact with him are people that want something out of him. He ain't poor though, so he's got that going for him.
Of course, if he wasn't born wealthy he wouldn't be who he is, so this is all assuming that his personality is the same without the lifelong money, which it wouldn't be. In a way, the born rich thing was kind of a curse for him because he never got to become a real boy or a real man.
Of course, if he wasn’t born wealthy he wouldn’t be who he is,
Musk wasn't always as completely off his hinges as he is right now, and I feel like at least half of the reason he got as bad as he did, is because he is constantly, 24/7/365, surrounded by yes men who do nothing but say how great and smart he is (and he has the money and power to ensure this always remains the case)
Like he was always a bigot and kind of a dumbshit, but he didn't become unhinged until a few years back.
Which is why I think a hypothetical middle-or-lower-class Elon Musk would be just.
.... A mediocre internet user. Holds some bigoted opinions. Gets into fights on webforums and social media. Has a low-level job in tech doing something no one cares about for a company everyone hates.
Who?

Dead.
Crack house. Definitely a crack house.
/r9k/
He's practically got 'clueless middle-manager' stamped on his forehead. He has he confidence to fake it through an interview and the animal cunning to blame others for his mistakes.

I think he's an exceptional person in both good and bad. There's a shit ton of people born into much more wealth than he did but they havent achieved anything even remotely close to what Elon has. Having access to recources helps but it's not the only factor.

Ha! I don't get the connection, but I'm watching KN reruns as I type this.
He's an idiot who thinks he's the pinnacle of knowledge.
Sounds like every bible thumper and MAGAt.
