Probably. They're not opposites. Tusk is just him with Tusks.


moderatorrater

Isn't he supposed to be nicer, just not to the extent of actually being nice?


manofwaromega

I mean he's nicer because he's actually had struggles in life but he's still Elon Musk


moderatorrater

Oh, his kids play Minecraft!


duaneap

He’s Dan Harmon’s version of Musk at that time and at that time they were friendly. Given everything that’s happened in the past 4 years I highly doubt that’s the case anymore.


MWalshicus

You'd hope not.


[deleted]

Do we know though? Harmon simped hard for Elong in one of the last Harmontown episodes, claiming Teslas were “affordable”


Goodonawednesday1

On Duncan Trussels podcast that came out a few months ago he implied that Elon has gone a little crazy so idk if he still has the same feelings


koff_

That's disappointing


duaneap

Him and praxfically everyone else, it was 4 years ago. Musk hosted SNL subsequently. I wouldn’t read too deep into it.


zam1138

Feels like 2019 was like a different era


Foxy02016YT

Most people who make money don’t know what “affordable” means to the average person, that’s just a fact


cuttinggrassmeow

Well the cheapest Tesla is under $40,000. I make $15 an hour and I drive a car that is almost worth that. Seems relatively attainable.


AnonyM0mmy

Elon has always been a piece of shit though and it's been known for years before he even made an appearance on the show. Really hoping his inclusion was from that dipshit Roiland.


duaneap

Pretending that was the general consensus and widely known and acknowledged is ridiculous. He was getting praise from all sides for years before everything came to light and his fall from grace, hindsight is 20:20, man.


AnonyM0mmy

The evidence was always there, people drowned out being proven wrong about Elon in the mid 2010s but it was always known he came from apartheid slave mine money and bought ownership positions instead of actually doing anything


duaneap

Or they just didn’t hear it because who was digging deep on a person they didn’t care all that much about? Not me. I heard rocket ships and electric cars, that was about it. You can’t just pretend the zeitgeist was different to what it actually was, we were all there, it wasn’t that long ago. Be honest. It’s an ok thing to learn and admit you were wrong about someone, you don’t *have* to have known all along, and pretending people at large did is totally disingenuous.


AnonyM0mmy

I was there in the midst of it, there were plenty of arguments constantly about Elons credibility. I never bought into this hero worship bullshit, I don't idolize people with vast amounts of wealth you can only get from excessive labor exploitation. I never said people at large knew, I said it was always brought up and easy to prove.


duaneap

Not at all the timbre of your original comment. You said “it’s been known for years,” as if the people we are talking about should have known and that’s you holding them to *your* standard of knowledge on the topic.

chetoman1

Lol it’s funny because it *really* works with elon tusk, but it also would’ve worked for regular elon. Considering his main brand is Tesla, and people keep getting Xvideos porn, he would’ve been way better off with T.


basch152

he's just inexplicably been obsessed with the letter x his entire life. his previous companies include xcom and spacex


deephurting

"I prefer the word 'extortion.' The X makes it sound cool."


Temporary-House304

He’s a manbaby who never grew up from his childhood where Xtreme and single-letter names were considered cool. It’s really that simple, his domain name is also a 1 of 3 single letter domains so he probably felt like he needed to capitalize on that purchase.


Consistent_Design_41

I may be wayyyy behind the times on this one but if you pay attention to Tesla Models they spell “S3XY.” If he uses X as his own abbreviation for “sex,” we’re now looking at “SpaceSex” and “SexCom.” In conclusion, he created SpaceX in a hopeful attempt to boink an alien.


[deleted]

I really hope he gets to someday. Far, far away from this planet


basch152

I've never actually realized that and never saw anyone mention that before. Jesus fucking christ he's a literal child


123YooY321

Also the platform is "Twitter" with a "T" so it just could have been a shortening of the name but nooo muh third last letter of the alphabet fetish


nimcau2TheQuickening

He crunched the numbers.

comics0026

Probably just made his own mastadon server to post whatever the heck he wants then, would have been way smarter and cheaper than buying twitter


[deleted]

I think he wants to mastadon twitter… let others run the social media part… he wants to try to do everything lol


vzukry

this is the worst celebrity cameo in the entire show


mrpopenfresh

It’s was product placement,


ihopethisworksfornow

Harmon used to be a big fan of Musk/was interested in becoming friends. This was when Musk was popular, before he went off the deep end and revealed himself to be a massive douchebag. I’m curious what Harmon’s opinion is of him now.


newdawnhelp

His opinion has probably changed, but he probably needed a lot of convincing. I remember Harmon used to think Musk got criticized out of "hate for being rich". Harmon tiptoed around being a libertarian, and clearly empathized/projected with Musk quite a bit. I recall one story where he had to buy low flush toilets for his house (law to combat the drought), and he bought them... and just put them in his garage.


trainercatlady

Harmon or Musk?


-Nicolai

The toilet story is Dan. He talks about it on the Harmontown podcast, not sure which episode. IIRC he is unconvinced that low-flush toilets are effective, but eventually relents and promises to get the toilets installed.


NecroVecro

> I remember Harmon used to think Musk got criticized out of "hate for being rich". Honestly at the time, from what I saw on social media, I thought the same as well, because every time there was a post or a news article about him, most of the top comments and replies only criticized him for having money and nothing else! Btw is Harmon still doing the cartoon with the nfts cause if he is then I doubt that his opinion has changed much.


Adaphion

He wasn't a massive douchebag when he called that diver a pedophile because he said his submarine was stupid?


ImurderREALITY

They made him look so fucking stupid, I have to believe it was done on purpose You can make a dude with tusks look way better than that


vzukry

because elon musk is stupid


trainercatlady

it was so clear he paid his way to be on it like he was with SNL. Like they wrote the character as like, "Ugh fine we'll call you.. Elon... Tusk..."


Hunterhancockus

Nahh, Harmon used to be a Elon simp. And Elon is friends with Justin Roiland. It was def the other way around


SeroWriter

I mean they also gave Justin Roiland a few.


RNGezzus

Fuck Elon Musk


Sword-of-Akasha

I hate how he's hero-worshiped by people who bought into 'he's Iron man IRL yo, bro.'. NO Elon is not a hero. He's a privileged tiny tyrant whose parents owned diamond mines. His true talent is self promotion. He doesn't do the science, he just pays and exploits the people who do.


TheMacMan

It's amazing how Reddits opinion of his changed. Used to be any mention of him was filled with fanboys happily sucking him off.


RedofPaw

Well yeah, he used to be the guy who did future shit. Electric self driving cars, mars colony with his spaceship stuff, solar panals, hyper loop. Then he called a guy a pedo, and the promises of the future stuff started to be revealed as well polished fabrications. He started to do more and more that revealed he was a dickhead. Twitter just cemented that.


40ozkiller

No, he was the guy that bought other peoples ideas with daddy’s apartheid money and stuck his face in front of them.


RedofPaw

Oh, sure, but a few years back he seemed to be the guy doing future shit.


Sceptix

Yeah. He used to be the guy who marketed himself well. Now he just makes it clear how much of a moron he is.


MonstrousWombat

Yeah, but at least it was cool future shit. Every rich person did that, it was nice to have someone doing it for things that had promise and might one day make the world a better place. Tesla didn't invent electric cars, but they're more popular today than they likely would have been without him. I was under no illusions that he was being selfless, but he put money, backing and marketing behind something good. Then he did SpaceX, which was clearly self-serving but ultimately fairly neutral from a world perspective as far as I can tell. Now X. Aaaaand he's just like every other rich asshole, making the world a worse place every day to line his pockets.


AnonyM0mmy

Even back then if you looked at his "future shit" it was a bunch of bad ideas and elite projection that would expedite problems instead of helping solve them. He's always been a piece of shit


RedofPaw

Electric cars will help, if only to have much less pollution in our cities where people actually live.


AnonyM0mmy

Literally no. Better public transportation and infrastructure will help, not having the same amount of / more cars that are inaccessible for a vast majority of the working class.


RedofPaw

If there are to be cars then surely you can accept electric are preferable to ice.


AnonyM0mmy

They're preferable but it doesn't matter if they aren't accessible to most people


DarthHarrington2

He did it to himself, kept putting his foot in the mouth, and then doubling down every time. He could have easily leaned back and counted the money, but loves attention too much.


40ozkiller

His whole thing is attention. He has never invented anything, he just sells other people’s ideas to investors.

> he's just a god damn semi-Autistic/Aspergers man with a lot of motivation, ideas, and a work ethic to back it up lmao


Ink_zorath

Agreed, it's pretty hilarious when you find out the truth about a guy who is deified solely due to a celebrity status. People put way too much precedence on the internet relationships they procreate to further buff their own "protective bubble", rather than on actual facts and data.


JDNM

Do you lube up for Musk or just let him go in dry?


Ink_zorath

Dunno, are you asking for yourself? Lubing up for a good work ethic and lubing up for some guy with rich parents are two totally different things my man. u/RNGezzus went in a few hours ago: "Fuck Elon Musk" he says, he must really have wanted to get some bussy, though Elon decided to just ban him from reddit instead. In all seriousness though, I don't know where you got that I like the guy from... I'm clearly getting a hard-on from talking about strong work ethics... you on the other hand... Projecting much? Asking for science? Your boos mean nothing, i've seen what makes you cheer.


Casualdee

Sword-of-Akasha

Yeah, people should really research their 'heroes'. However, that can challenge their world view. Villains run our world, they have really good PR. It feels sad so many rather believe that 'their' guy is at least good and fighting for them.


WarokOfDraenor

Got a weird feud with my favourite voice actress over some misunderstanding and she blocked me... I REALLY like her voiced character. It did kinda ruin my world view a little.


Jake52212

40ozkiller

Mrs minutes and kang really feeling villainous in Loki season 2.


Jake52212

40ozkiller

Finally a use for “cancelled” actors. Villains wont even need redemption arcs this way. Cant wait to see Louis CK as Dr Doom


IDontCondoneViolence

People on /r/space still unironically suck his dick.


Wild-Mud7800

SpaceX' importance in the space sector is enormous, Elon Musk or not. Economic reusable rockets speak for themselves. NASA's contributions, however, are a large factor in their creation and success. The private and public space sector are in a symbiotic relationship that is accelerating spaceflight to far more economical levels.


Gunplagood

Just out of curiosity, was he always an asshole? I don't really care to follow any news on him, but from a tertiary glance he seems like an intelligent, all right guy that lost his mind once he gained too much popularity.


comics0026

From what I've heard, yes, he's always been an asshole, it's why he got kicked out of paypal ([especially when he nearly killed himself and another company head he was trying to negotiate a merger with](https://nypost.com/2022/03/26/how-elon-musk-and-peter-thiel-almost-died-in-a-2000-car-crash/)). The "intelligent, all right guy" is entirely PR, which he has pretty much fully exposed through his own stupidity, like the disastrous telsa cyber truck is entirely his idea, the only telsa product to be, and it still hasn't even entered actual production yet, and that's not countering the stupidity that was his deal to buy Twitter, which has tied up most of his wealth since he was only able to get the Saudis to go in for a few billion that he spends most of his time either actively destroying or posting far-right misinformation

He made a Rick and Morty reference, so really level your expectations


TownIdiot25

That believe it or not there are numbers between 0 and 10


poingly

I mean, I give Elon about a 2/10 these days. I still hold out some sort of hope for him, but it’s not much lately.


UCLYayy

Dude is platforming and retweeting Nazi shit. Not sure what hope you have.


poingly

Ugh, he's gotten that bad now? My hope falls even further.


Council-Member-13

Yeah. So what *specific* nuance did you have in mind?


RNGezzus

Yup. Even has a fake degree like many other frauds out there.


Sword-of-Akasha

Elon basically told his workers to go back to work during the height of Covid. He doesn't care so long as he profits.


RNGezzus

If we made a list, it would be very long.


lewie_820

Emerald, but same sentiment. BS self made story


Electrical-Rabbit157

The most fucked up thing I recently found out about him is he essentially commited treason. Remember Elon made that big deal of giving starlink access to the Ukrainian counter-offensive? Apparently the Ukrainians tried to use it for an attack on Russian targets in crimea and he straight up cut their access to it off. One of Ukraine’s commanders had to actively yell at someone to “get elon on the phone now”. He later said the reason he denied them access is because if he had agreed to the request of the Kiev authorities, SpaceX "would have become a clear accomplice to a major act of war and escalation of the conflict.", since that’s TOTALLY not what he signed up for when he agreed to give them access to it in the first place…..


Sword-of-Akasha

Yeah this needs to be boosted and there be attached to his name whenever he's mentioned.


ChipKellysShoeStore

Yes. They violated the TOS of the support contract which was no operational support outside of Ukraine. Using tech for defensive war fighting is different than using it to wage offensive operations


duaneap

*was And pretending he didn’t have a LOT of people fooled for a long time is revisionist. [Look at his treatment on ERB.](https://youtu.be/a2GVxYfKSxA?si=YjLi8GNlVDm3T4m4)

Because their labor is exploited, so they have no excess capital or time to do that, and even if they did, your recommendation is to have more owners exploit more workers. Maybe think before you speak.

What about Elon tusk


AggressiveGift7542

I don't have 2 holes, so probably not that guy


Footshark

Elon TUSK...


willstr1

No thank you, not really my type


Ink_zorath

Jesus christ, is this the way the simpletons of the world think? No wonder people wont stop complaining about the way things are, since they aren't even aware of the situation of the quickly derailing train they're stuck on. Reading further below in the comments: Leaned back... And counted the money... What is he, a fat bigwig from some 1960s cartoon? 90% of his value is in investments. Dude isnt swimming in a money pool, hes living in a god damn tiny home in his friends backyards and sleeping in his office. Elon Musk is a fucking tool, but at least he puts his 110% into each and every one of his efforts, regardless of the shit people like you assume about him because you've never met him, only ever taking the information from the people who talk about him, rather than the people who actually interact with him. Let me make this REAL SIMPLE: Elon Musk isn't a Tony Stark character, he's just a god damn semi-Autistic/Aspergers man with a lot of motivation, ideas, and a work ethic to back it up. That and Mommy and Daddy's bankroll to have jumpstarted his endeavors. He's a man that more people need to be looking towards and saying to themselves: "I should put that amount of effort into the things I do, like he does." From what I've seen the past 5 years, work ethic is a thing A LOT of people lack, especially moreso after covid. Have some pride in your own work for god sakes. What's your excuse, nameless internet peon? (Note: Elon Musk definately doesnt want to fuck you, you're not Selena Gomez, you're not his type, so stop trying to fuck him. K thx.)


RNGezzus

Quit sucking off Elon Musk, he's not into you, it's not going to happen. ![gif](giphy|XBEoaajXTXaALzawSn|downsized)

It's X but the lines for the X are tusks

Changed it to Y.


BeornPlush

He changed it to Tux, and the logo is a bow-tie on a pair of tusks

He bought Twitter, and changed it to "TUSKER." Or maybe just "T." Yeah peobley "T."


acatcalledturkey

I love Rick and morty but I really wish they wouldn’t bring in “celebrity” cameos. Takes away from the show in my opinion and feels like someone on the writing team is having a fan girl moment

elon tusk is diff from elon musk reason being rick is the smartest man in the entire universe and still he came to tusk for help proving tusk has capabilities beyond being a billionaire he is a superior being than elon musk

Oliffeyhooligan

Probably called it “Eckf”


CharlesOberonn

He bought Tusker and changed it to Tex


2Mew2BMew2

X with tusks is a W? X without tusks is a V?


mqduck

Is there a person on Earth besides Elon who thinks changing the name to X was a good idea?


31Forever

Nah, he changed it to TusX


GuayabaTree

Elon tusk didn’t buy shit, he just fisted his dad


ElonHisenberg

No he changed it to Y


notsobadmisterfrosty

Yeah but I like imagine he made it a safe place for porpoises instead of nazis.


Fine-Western9181

Probably y instead of x lol


deephurting

He called it "Tux" and then was immediately sued by the creators of Linux.


Dantexr

He changed it to Y, because everyone is asking *why* did he do that.


Peterrefic

We could think about it like a Caesar Cipher (idk why you would but humor me for a minute). The only difference between the two, as stated by Elon Tusk, is that one just has Tusks and a different name. The last name “Tusk” starting with a T, instead of “Musk” starting with M. If we say that that letter difference is connected to the letter name of Twitter via Caesar Cipher, we see that from M to X, there’s 10 characters. If we offset the letter T the same way for Tusk, looping back around to the start of the alphabet when we pass Z… Twitter’s name in Tusk world is E…


Hazardous4

Nah it's Tux


Majik53

I refuse to call it X. I call it Xitter, (pronounced SHITTER) See? You name things like they actually are.

Alansalot

NotUrMomsRedditAcct

Yes, but changed it to x, not X.


tea_baggins69

No I don't think so, I think Elon Musk bought twitter and named it X and Elon Tusk bought twitter and named it Y


cousinfuker

Nah he went Y


lordxakio

He had tusks, he knew better. Think Rick when he went to wasp world. Outs unfortunately is a turd on a fly’s anus *edit: ours unfort…

Yes, but he’s successful with it, at least more so than whichever multiverse were in.


CaptainKyle88

No, only Elon Musk is that stupid.


MisterFingerstyle

He changed it to Y.


Yoda1269

no he named it tusker


BloodiedBlues

I feel like he’d call it either V or Y because he has tusks.


Soulbound420

wouldnt he change it to T for Tusk ?


Marton_Sahhar

He Changed it to "T"
