“The twitter influencer?” is now how I’m going to refer to Elon Musk whenever some tech bro at my job gushes about him. He has so many worshippers it’s ridiculous

[@friv_0881]

God, tell me about it right? The cult of Musk sycophants is bizarre in their level of brainwashed devotion despite the fair bit of Obvious and available evidence out there to show how wrong and highly problematic Elon is. My theory is that many of them identify with him as a "champion of the high school Nerds/Losers" who single-handedly became the winning real life comic book hero. That idea of a kindred spirit, combined with Elon's penchant for revisionist history and fabricated PR Image has led them to believe that he is a true altruistic genius who they have put their complete faith in to single handedly save the planet and mankind from ourselves. The reality that Musk is not actually doing that or the fact that he can be very wrong ( and quite the arrogant elitist) is just something that those fans Simply Cannot and refuse to face. If musk truly was who and what they believe he is, those fans would have no problem with hearing and accepting valid criticism regarding Elon and his more questionable actions.

I wish you spoke more about Grimes coming from wealth and often trivialising the class divide for the progression of their own art. I really feel for them in a sense because I truly believe they mean well with all that they do but I do also think that they're incapable of understanding why people get upset about wealth. Poverty will always be an abstract idea to them because they have never and will never truly experience it.

[@phosphenevision]

@@SadBugBleu they literally lived on their parents property

[@Jaxzyn]

@@SadBugBleu To be fair, Grimes' claims about experiencing poverty without her parents' help is a "dude trust me" from Grimes. Grimes often fibs/contradicts theirself in interviews as well. There is old footage of a time when Grimes claimed to be without parents(according to a since deleted genius interview) but her dad is driving her to her shows. Also her mom helped support a venue Grimes played at, the Waldorf kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zpurlap4l7ySoqs (note: Grimes also goes by she/her)

[@Jaxzyn]

@@SadBugBleu You can look up Grimes' parents jobs and where they lived. I never said all that strawmanning stuff you're arguing against. The point is Grimes wasn't "poor" in the way that she marketed her origin story. Choosing what to believe instead of keeping an open mind is pointless here.

[@Jaxzyn]

@@SadBugBleu I think you're the one ignoring what Grimes has said in the past. What she has said vs. what the evidence shows doesn't quite line up. I'm not talking about the landlording rumors and I didn't say she was crazy rich. Those were your strawmannig words. There is a reason why no one else on earth has said that they became a musician in Montreal without ever having held a "real" job before nor taking parents' money - that isn't a thing. Truly indie artists have all had to have day jobs at some point to support their music. Grimes did not. She got money and support from others so that she could do music. She disregards that assistance by lying about having been "poor." Grimes marketed herself as a rags to riches phenomenon and activist. But that isn't true. That's a damaging myth to perpetuate.

[@Incrediblugh]

@@SadBugBleu yeah I get that but the history of that is kind of murky and she still grew up wealthy which is kinda the basis of what I'm saying. Your experience with money in childhood affects your relationship with it for the rest of your life. Moving out and dealing with trauma is such a common part of life and most people do it without the safety of a wealthy background/upbringing.

@@UseQPixinDune optimising isn't necessarily the ideal solution to every problem, this is why people like elon musk think designing and building a submarine is the ideal solution to rescuing children that are trapped RIGHT NOW, when just because a submarine might be optimised to rescue these children need HELP NOW, not in the "optimised way". People don't work like algorithms, knowing how to optimise systems doesn't necessarily give you the insight necessary into already placed systems, tech bros aren't the ideal people to solve them, it's people that study and understand systems already in place. Sure they can help, but they 100% can't single handedly solve them. No one can.

[@artangelfae]

this measured take is such a breath of fresh air. I’ve been a fan of grimes’s music since I was 15 and art angels dropped, and i’m almost 22 now. Seeing the beginning of the relationship to their slow collapse from public pressure, having a child without really thinking it through (instagram 1/31/20) , and facing an unbelievable amount of hate, specifically on tik tok, has been really difficult to watch. they’ve obviously done things that warrant criticism, there is no doubt in my mind about that at all. their political takes are **laughable. but I dont think their artistry or talent is ever given the attention it deserves, and I genuinely believe people come up with bogus theories about them to justify the amount of hate they throw their way. elon can choke on a roll of nickels though.

[@dancingheart6224]

This comment is amazing. While Grimes has their faults and like any human, is not perfect, I do believe that even "good" or "perfect" people choose relationships with bad people all the time. Because no one is perfect.

[@sophitiaofhyrule]

Grimes is multi millionaire, they'll be fine. I don't think that "not enough people are seeing their artistic talent"

The most troubling part of this saga was that I had an emotional crisis over how much I enjoyed “We Appreciate Power” despite…everything going on. Like I respect their artistry, but Grimes releasing an industrial pop jam about fascism due to technological cyberpunk cybercorporations while Elon was in his big union busting controversy was…a lot.

[@testosteronic]

In my opinion We Appreciate Power is the last really good song Grimes had released post Art Angels. So the song had nothing to do with being transgender. If it did, I think that would be bad because the point of the song is to be dystopian and terrifying lol.

Your quick delivery of joke after joke, the emotional and almost poetic nature of the end. I haven't seen someone with so many facets of talent going into their videos before.

[@chiripaxa]

"Do you feel like you need to reveal more about yourself to be truthful?" That line hit. Because there seems to be this foggy border between your true reality and then the manipulated reality that you choose to show or choose to process as reality. I sometimes lie when I share about myself, actually I lie a lot. I like to think I don't know why I do it, but I do it out of safety. Out of evading judgment or assumption about me. As a result I haven't really been able to make a friend with who I could be truthful with. I don't know where this need to protect myself comes from. But there are people out there who viewed me as a really good friend but I ghosted them because I didn't want to reveal too much about myself. I imagine that's how public figures feel whenever they try to share about themselves online. There's this fear that if you share too much about yourself to strangers then in some way it'll be used to harm you.. And in many ways it has been used to harm public figures. But at the same time, by withholding certain information, by lying about certain things you end up feeling further disconnected with your real reality. You start emersing yourself in a you that's made only for other people to experience. You're no longer truthful because you're not revealing. I can empathise with Grimes, I changed myself completely for the person I loved too. I became their sponge and I monitored their reactions to my behaviour and then changed what they didn't like most about me. In the end you realise that no amount of changing yourself will actually make them care for you more. I guess that's why I haven't been able to form a proper bond since then, I see myself falling back into the people pleasing cycle in relationships. I'm scared to be truthful because then I will be judged for something that is so important and personal to me. I haven't developed the tough skin to take that judgment yet, so it's easier to lie and hide.

[@reneeb6411]

This video is amazing, but I just want to note that Elon actually /did/ make his millions off of daddy’s money. There’s a great Behind the Bastards podcast episode about this, detailing Elon literally walking around Manhattan with emeralds in his pockets like a cartoon baby, but yeah his father being an absolute piece of shit does not mean that he wasn’t financing some of Elon’s ventures, in fact that’s something many abusive parents do in order to assert control/ assuage their consciences.

I think there's some discussion over how much of that stuff is true because the source for a lot of it is Errol who might have/probably did exaggerate stuff to undercut the image Elon tries to project. Not that I have a problem believing it but strictly speaking the veracity is kind of suspect.

[@SmartStart24]

A cartoon baby omggggg 😂😭

[@friv_0881]

Also, Elon was the only one of his siblings who chose to stay with his Father when their parent's divorced. Elon wanted the comfy life he was accustomed to and was obsessed with observing/shadowing as many powerful, rich business men as possible to learn from. He did not experience any of the financial struggles that his siblings and mother went through after the divorce. Also, didn't Elon's dad pay not only for his University fees/tuition but also the initial $45,000.00 us start up investment for his first company? As much as he may now say that he is completely self financed, there are older interviews and information still around to dispute those claims. ( Even despite Musk's penchant for forcing NDA"S and silencing actual Tesla founders etc. with litigation) Nothing that he says of recent can or should be trusted. The Truth to Elon, is whatever he deems it to be due to his money, connections and reach of power.

[@TheRavenvsv]

And a lot of people don't talk about his mother's family. His grandfather was involved in politics and actually in the technocratic movement in Canada. So maybe not all the stories about his dad are true but he deffinitely was not a poor kid of Africa.

[@rachel5399]

I mean, I don't know how people don't naturally assume things like these. I'm sure he has made a lot of money himself, he has smarts, he's very good at what he does. However, you cannot tell me that a kid whose parents had/still have millions, billions of dollars, hasn't experienced luxury that most of us will only ever dream of having.

Your cinematography and directing skills continually amaze me. The shots in the back third of your videos are always incredibly framed and very beautiful. This is really good.

[@caseys2698]

The shot at 35:24 amazed me. The ground looks so flat, like it’s a painting or flat printed image close to the camera, rather than a shot of blacktop in the frame. I took a film class recently and it really helped me appreciate techniques like this. One technique mentioned was a frame that looked surprisingly flat-I just pulled up the textbook so I could remember what that’s called, and it’s the Godard frame, named after French New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard who made shots that looked flat as paintings. Anyway, all this to say that I totally agree, Ro’s cinematography and directing are incredible and cinema-worthy, and I’m also always really impressed too!

We jammed a few times for a show with a couple of other people, but ultimately they dumped us all to play with that dude from Magical Clouds, who also spray painted a love letter to them on the factory across the street. Claire was never super clued in on prole shit, and now that I think about it, I can't ever remember them digging through dumpster juice for chicken with us. They're a rich gal, and that's chill, they're just doing their thing. Have they even released music past that Oblivion thing? Why are we still talking about them?

Yo, that ending hit me hard. I've only been watching you for a few days, and like everyone else on here, I'm blown away by your talent. The amount of time and hard work you put into these videos is so apparent, and I so appreciate it. But hearing you talk about your life outside of making the videos... That was a sudden rawness I didn't expect, and made me appreciate you even more. I'm not going to give advice, because that would be bullshit. What advice could I give that would actually help. I do, though, hope you discover and lean into passions outside of this space (i.e., KZbin, TikTok, and social media writ large) that bring you genuine fulfillment. I'm amazed that you've produced this much content at such a high level of quality in the span of time that you have, but I hope your real world social relationships can blossom and thrive just as much (if not more) than your parasocial ones here. Furthermore, I think you're right to avoid that "I'm talking to someone" Twitter impulse, because once you start it's hard to go back. I won't say I love you. That's weird. I've never met you. I don't know you. And for me, love is for the real world--not the fucking internet. However, I do sincerely appreciate you being here on KZbin, because you make me laugh, and that's worth it's weight in gold.
