    All those blood transfusions and his daily routine don’t seem to be stopping the inevitability of aging.

    It would be real cool if he and Elon tried some experimental gene therapy and became tumor riddem monsters like Ted Faro did in Horizon Zero Dawn.

    Now there’s a dystopia that seems less and leas far-fetched: an autonomous AI military drone swarm capable of self replication and using biomass as fuel goes rogue and starts devouring all life on Earth. They went rogue because of the hubris of the world’s first trillionaire removimg their safeguards.

    Combine that with the Fallout games’ Vault-Tec, the company that became largest in the world by selling vaults to protect people from nuclear war, being the ones that start the nuclear war so they can use vaults as captive laboratories for social experiments.

    Alongside Mike Judge, one or both of those stories could some day be seen as prohecy.

    Without money, this asshole would be forced to stand out on the street with a sign and have people ignore him. Or, I guess, more recently, to be that Crazy Uncle Liberty guy that loves to share stupid Facebook memes.

    Also, the notion that the Chinese are “Communists” - LOL.

    This is the 5th post I see about this on Lemmy, within a few minutes. Why is Lemmy overflooded with bullshit said by tech billionaires? Stop give assholes like this any attention. Do not spread their word. They want to despabalize the world for their own gain and you are helping him. Negative attention is also attention. Treat them like the crazy neighbor: just ignore them.

      Unlike your ceazy neighbor, Peter Theil can influence the direction of the US government. He’s the reason why Vance is VP. Ignoring him just lets him continue advancing his agenda unchecked. Mentioning stuff like this helps explain why people like Theil should be cast down from their positions of power. That’s also important because not many people know why Theil is a bad person.

    OK, here’s what we’ve got: the Rand Corporation, in conjunction with the saucer people, under the supervision of the reverse vampires… are forcing our parents to go to bed early in a fiendish plot to eliminate the meal of dinner… We’re through the looking glass here people!

      Don’t forget about the Fascist Communist Muslim Atheist Cabal and their effort to deploy Jewish space lasers with the Illuminati!

    That’s what the antichrist that’s secretly running the world looks like?

    Jesus fucking Christ. Like, I’m not usually one to mock or judge someone for their appearance…but…like…wow. Dude has all the time and money in the world and he chooses to look like the bastard child of Herman Munster and Gollum, stricken with fetal alcohol syndrome?

    Man I had hoped that the guy running the world would be a little more handsome. Isn’t he supposed to be gay?
