"How many of your kids hate you?"

I would literally pretend I had absolutely no clue who he was or any familiarity with any of his "achievements" or why they're "important". It would be pretty funny to see him try to respond to that.

"One day a man invited him into a richly furnished house, saying 'be careful not to spit on the floor.' Diogenes, who needed to spit, spat in his face, exclaiming that it was the only dirty place he could find where spitting was permitted."

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 54 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I would ask him who he is. Then when he gets upset that I don't recognize him and he gives me his name I say "hmmm, never heard of you."

Watch is ego implode.

"Musk? Like the supermarket grade perfume? Did you know musk comes from glandular secretions? The word comes from 'testicle' because the gland looks like a scrotum." Give a couple of sniffs... "Oh wow, that's amazing!"

You've gone from being perceived as an inspiring intelligent neurodiverse outsider, to an evil good for nothing oligarch. Can you imagine what the impact would be if you would announce tomorrow, that you would give all or most of your shares to the employees that work for your companies, and you would state to the world that having (hecto)billionaires is dangerous and immoral, and that being one you experienced first hand that it is psychologically harmful, that you lost sense of who you were, but now want to return to your innocence.

With his fragile ego, I’d spend the entire time asking if he could smell that awful smell. I’d ask him to check the bottoms of his shoes, drawing more and more attention and increasing his discomfort, all the while pretending that I’ve never heard of Elon Musk.

Putting this tactic in my back pocket for uncomfortable social interactions.

I’d ask him how his values were so easily changed by a comedian and his roving troupe of rude boys.

Musk: They weren't, I just stopped lying about them.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Show him this picture and just ask "Why?".

I’d slap him. I don’t fucking care, I’m dying from societal neglect and welfare failings and like literally 0.00001% of his wealth could fix all my problems, you have to be inherently selfish to hoard all that wealth (not to mention be inherently evil to get it in the first place).

(this is a joke, I wouldn’t put it past Musk for suing for verbal assault or something)

[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 20 points 2 days ago

fuck being sued this country needs a story like that in the news

"Can I have a dollar?"

If he says yes, and give me a dollar, I'd wait for him to put his wallet away and then ask,

"Can I have another dollar?"

And then do this on repeat until he stops.

[–] GenosseFlosse@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago

"No sorry, I only carry hundred dollar notes with me."

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

hey look its welfare guy.

[–] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 78 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I'd like to think that I'd find a quick easy way to Luigi him but I know I'd just stare and look around for his security and be questioning my life choices that I was in the same room.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 37 points 2 days ago (1 children)

pretend not to know who he is

"Excuse me?"

I'd just leave myself. Words mean nothing to fascists; I'd be wasting my breath and sitting at his table.

Why the fuck are you spending so much money getting to a dead planet when you could be spending money to save a living one?

The only question I'd have for someone like him is.

"Do you think even the worst person can change...? That everybody can be a good person, if they just try?" And then I'd try my hand at fighting him after I got through the Sans Undertale speech.

"What happened to your concern about climate change?"

Followed by

"You've completely debased yourself by supporting the one guy who will destroy the planet. And for what? A slight to your ego because Biden gave you the cold shoulder once? You are a huge thin-skinned bitch and will be remembered as one"

[–] funkforager@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 days ago

Shortest answer is always money. The richest man got much richer and plans to get richer yet after this.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/economy/elon-musk-put-277-million-into-the-election-he-s-200-billion-richer-this-year/ar-AA1vTrEZ

Elon Musk’s net worth has climbed by more than $200 billion in 2024, a massive increase in the same year that the world’s richest person spent at least $277 million backing Donald Trump and other Republican candidates. 

The bulk of the increase, more than $170 billion, has come since Election Day.

"Trump surrounds himself with Yes Men who constantly just kiss his ass.... Is that why you two get along so well?"

Or on a more realistic note I'd ask him about climate change and try to understand what twisted logic he's using to justify his actions.

Do you follow this Elon guy on Twitter? He says the stupidest shit.

Excuse me, but you look familiar. Where do I know you from? Elon Musk? Do you sell perfume? X.com? Is that a porn site?

If my reaction the first time I saw a cybertruck IRL is any indication, I'd scream.
