1. Una Comprensión Superficial de la Ciencia Ficción.
Numerosos comentarios señalan que, aunque Musk hace constantes referencias a obras de ciencia ficción, demuestra una falta de comprensión de sus temas centrales, moralejas y advertencias, interpretando las distopías como modelos a seguir.
- It is honestly amazing how elon musk personifies "guy who read science fiction stories but totally missed the point every time." he truly seems incapable of understanding a parable, and instead takes the most fantastical aspects of those stories as being presented as aspirational.
- Musk loves to make science fiction pop cultural references and every one of them fundamentally misunderstands its source material.
- I have been a science fiction reader my whole life and the way elon musk uses references to works i love - which he does not seem to remotely understand - kind of breaks my heart a little.
- People like musk and thiel learn only the wrong lessons from science fiction.
- Hot take: most science fiction is actually "woke" and people like elon musk only claim to like it because of shitty reading comprehension.
- Torment nexus. These shitbirds look at the warnings of science fiction and go, "that sounds awesome. Imma build that." because they're the ones who think the curtains are just blue. They never understood sf.
2. La Ciencia Ficción como Modelo de Negocio.
Se critica el uso que Musk hace de conceptos de ciencia ficción para crear narrativas atractivas para inversores y el público, vendiendo promesas fantásticas que a menudo se perciben como una estrategia para mantener el flujo de capital.
- Elon musk’s embrace of science fiction as a business model has a lot to answer for.
- Musk makes a lot of promises that sound good on paper. The problem is, that paper is the pages of a science fiction novel. But then, his goal is never to actually achieve any of the things he promises; his goal is to dupe the gullible and make *just* enough "progress" to keep the money flowing.
- There would be no tesla w/out a gullible populace raised on science fiction.
- The sub guy was just another elon musk, and there are too many of those running around, grifting money off people with wild science fiction stories. […].
- He needs investors to keep buying tsla, and since car sales are tanking, all he can do is keep selling science fiction.
- The american taxpayers shouldn't be on the hook for musk's adolescent science fiction dreams.
3. Un 'Visionario' de Ideas Recicladas.
La etiqueta de 'visionario' es cuestionada, argumentando que sus ideas no son originales, sino adaptaciones de conceptos preexistentes en la cultura popular de ciencia ficción, financiadas gracias a su riqueza.
- The term visionary is so stupid, especially when applied to musk. Literally everything he’s dreamed up is just recycled from popular science fiction.
- Musk is only a "visionary" if you think, "i fluked into crazy money, so i'm gonna try and make my favourite science fiction novels come true!" is a true sign of genius.
- Like always musk regurgitates good science fiction in the worst way. He doesn’t have any real creativity.
- I wonder if anyone's tracked down exactly all of elon musk's futurist influences. All his half-baked ideas and references seem to come from a handful of 80s and 90s movies and science fiction books that middle school boys read.
- He's not even all that visionary. He read a few science fiction books then used his immense wealth to hire great engineers itching to make them reality.
- All of his "vision" comes from science fiction stories he has read (and often not understood). There's nothing new in anything he says.
4. La Ficción como Realidad Alternativa.
El término 'ficción' se extiende más allá de la literatura para describir las declaraciones, promesas y la propia imagen pública de Musk, sugiriendo que fabrica narrativas para moldear la percepción de la realidad a su favor.
- Elon musk got schooled by an economics professor over his remarks on medicare, social security as immigration lure: 'complete fiction'. This pretty sums up elon is fiction.
- So, musk's plan is to rewrite history to reflect his views then train his ai to regurgitate that fiction in place of truth. Ai washing as predicted.
- Trump and musk give us stuff that you couldn’t write as fiction because people would say it’s too ridiculous.
- Musk never "outed" trump at all—that's pure fiction. The media spins conspiracies to distract from how badly they're losing control.
- Musk will find a unicorn standing waste deep in the fountain of youth before he ever puts a person on mars. Its science fiction.
- The trump-musk fallout: fact, fiction, or fabrication?
