The ketamine side effects probably had him fall and/or bump into something.
Yeah, honestly, as much as I want there to be some drama here, he probably did this to himself by accident. The kid punching him story is stupid, fake, gay, dumb, etc. Nobody really believes that shit.
If someone did actually punch him, he would have lost his shit, there would be a much larger fallout.
He’s just a drug addict (not a bad thing, lots of beautiful people are, let’s not shame), who is abusing others around him as a result of his drug abuse. He probably just hit his head on something while fucked on Special K/E/Adderall/etc.
…stupid, fake, gay, dumb… --> 75 upvotes on lemmy
It’s a greentext meme. Everything on 4chan is “fake/gay”.
It’s not being used in a serious context here.
“That’s how they do it on 4chan” is probably one of the worst possible justifications for one’s behaviour.
I mean, even the various LGBT sub reddits commonly use that Chang in community saying “HA, GAAAY!” gif to various number of up votes.
I think context matters. My queer friends and I will call each other the f-slur, but I wouldn’t use it at a family supper, for example. Likewise, I think the tone is different using “gay” in a queer meme community versus in a serious discussion on a news community.
I’m not defending the flippant use of it in day to day conversation. But considering this community (Lemmy) I think it’s fairly safe to say they were not being homophobic.
I shut that shit down quick with some Gen z roommates I had when they said it everyone they died in a video game. For context, I am two standard deviations to the right of the bell curve when it comes to largeness, and I don’t mean I was fat. My mom considered herself bi, but is married to a woman. After relaying that info to said roommate, I didn’t hear it again.
That being said, I don’t think that type is prone to the jumping through technological hoops required to create an account here.
Not trying to give credit to Elonazi. I just remembered that my kid (~19 months) smashed the babyphone onto my head. I would have gotten a black eye for sure if he would have hit it. Still love him. My son, not Elonazi, of course.
I think most addicts would disagree with you that being an addict isn’t a bad thing.
Hating addicts for being addicts, is a bad thing. They’re still people, with full lives, and can be wonderful humans. They may also need help, or they may choose not to get help. The point being, we shouldn’t judge people based on whether or not they’re an addict.
In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts by Gabor Mate was pivotal in reframing my perspective on addiction and addicts.
Sorry, could you summarize how?
It expanded my understanding of their socioeconomic plight, psychological suffering, and physiological vicious cycle, exacerbated by ineffective draconian punitive measures implemented by government. It’s a truly excellent and compassionate book, I found the discussion on brain chemistry fascinating as well, and should be easy enough to find with Libby or at a local library.
This ideology started in the 60s and 70s with moral panics against minorities. Drug Addicts are inhumane in our society and well were pathetic.
Where did you get the idea I hate/judge addicts? You made it up. You’re willing to wash away the ugliness that the disease of addiction is, and that’s a pretty bad thing to do.
I don’t believe they were projecting, so much as clarifying their original position.
I think they were ignoring the nuance which is that a good person could be a victim of a bad thing without it being their fault. Otherwise why say “it’s not a bad thing”?
victim of a bad thing
I think you hit the nail on the head here. Addiction is the bad thing. Being an addict (victim) is not.
Correct
Noone said they were hating him for his drug use. Being a drug addict is a bad thing by definition. If it wasnt a negative for the person we wouldnt call it addiction.
Unfortunately drug addicts are “judged” because they are simply riskier to associate with than a sober person. I’m not sure how many sober people are actually left though, and most people won’t disclose their drug addictions.
Most people are drug addicts. Almost everyone I know is addicted to caffeine. Addiction sucks, but being an addict isn’t necessarily bad. It’s when it starts causing issues in your life or you can’t handle yourself properly that it’s a problem.
Also sugar
Yeah, I think I’ve read that sugar is more addictive than cocaine. Put simply, we’re all addicted to things. I don’t know if anyone in this world can truly say they aren’t an addict. Some addiction are just more socially acceptable, but that just brings to light that addiction isn’t the issue, it’s the behavior. You should be allowed to be addicted to what you want as long as it doesn’t harm others.
Carbohydrates are needed for our bodies to function, so sugar is a bit different.
Virtually everyone is addicted to sugar, to the point that most people can’t imagine that it’s an addiction… until they try to stop.
Literally triggered a vomit response for me. I hate every bit of that video. How is this actually happening?
His mind is on the verge of becomingn complete mush due to drug abuse isn’t it?
He looks and sounds like a druggie that willsoon become homeless due to complete disassociation with reality, how can this even happen with personal doctors and clinics, and diets, and cosmetologists and whatever else?
Micheal Jackson had all those things and still OD’d on tranquilizers.
Drugs can be a helluva drug. Also billionaires don’t think that anyone else has the right to tell them “no”.
Also, Musk is notoriously overconfident that he can learn anything better than experts. No doubt in my mind he’s decided how much ketamine and other drugs he “needs,” and has pliant doctors to agree.
And, billions of dollars to have lackeys find you drugs. And private fucking jets to fly to countries with drugs, and bring you back drugs. And a bestie you bought a Presidency for, to keep the DEA from seeing your plane.
Motive, means, and opportunity.
And most of all, a gargantuan ego that refuses to believe anything bad can happen to them.
He probably has his own lab. At least that what I would do if I had all that money.
Also billionaires don’t think that anyone else has the right to tell them “no”.
Also, billionaires have enough money to find a doctor who will tell them, “yes.”
Hi everybody!
A wild Dr. Nick appeared. And got down voted.
He’s the wealthiest man in the world, what do you mean “how does this happen?”?
Verge? I think he’s been well past that point for a while now.
Removed by mod
Musk was also asked about his bruised eye, which he attributed to rough-housing with his five-year-old son.
Not news
“If you think this is bad, you should see the other guy!” - Drugged up Elon Musk
The kid did what many of us want to do! Good for him!
Probably revenge for calling him X Æ A-Xii.
That kid is going to spend his whole life crashing into poorly-coded Web validation software.
Little Bobby Tables
Classic
Musk: punch me
X: OKAY
Musk: guess that wasn’t a great idea…
The journalist should have seen if he could name the child.
He puts the cunt in contusion. Works better out loud rather than written though.
“I told X to hit me in the face” (paraphrased)
If only that kid had had a sharp object in his hand at the time. He’s already on his way to being a Numba 2. 💩
Don’t you think he looks tired?
Nice doctor who reference :D
It suits him, although two would be even better. Also, I’d love to see him picking up his former teeth.
Hitler enjoyed when his inner circle fought with each other. Elon Musk is going out on good terms. The rich have solidarity in their class. Instead of focusing on Elon Musk, maybe you should focus on the dystopic security state that is being built by Palantir. Peter thiel is the anti social Angry gay man who runs that shit.
Cool. Tell him to take more. Like 10x more. He can afford it.
Never seen a more beautiful shiner.
Please help me out here. I swear to god, he has given that “I asked little X to ____ me” line a second time. The first time was months ago. Am I imagining things?? It’s such a weird deja-vu.
He was tripping balls at that event.
I’ve known ket users, and I know how he got that black eye - he tried to walk across a room and fell over and hit his head.
Ding ding ding 100% correct what do we have for our guest?
He absolutely faceplanted into a table or something
Literally my first thought as well.
Like if you see a kid with a bruised knee, you don’t assume he’s been in a fight, you know it’s a kid and kids fall down all the time.
Same with ket addicts.
And then pissed himself probably
Damn the aliens in the walls were singing lullabies to him apparently.
Yes - it seems odd not to report both.
That shiner looks more like someone was sending him a strong message. To be a fly on the wall…
