Joyce Carol Oates eviscerates Elon Musk on Twitter

“Wherever he goes, he wants to leave.”

“Wherever he goes, he wants to leave.”

Pretty sure this quote of hers is what ruined Leon’s day/week/year/decade/life:


"So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the 'most wealthy person in the world.'"

She wrote some great novels, and many more lesser novels. In fiction and nonfiction, she wrote 174 or 167 books, depending on which site counted them. Her books could fill a cybertruck.

She has Celebrity Intellectual Syndrome.

There is plenty of evidence to support the view that Musk is a thoroughly obnoxious man. However, Oates provides plenty of evidence to suggest that she is a fearsome intellectual snob. It might have been more interesting if she had observed that Musk is in fact typical of many successful businessmen - highly focused, narrow minded, self interested and dull. The assumption that Musk doesn't read is well known to be wrong; he is in fact a voracious reader.

Musk is a “voracious reader” the same way he’s an “elite gamer”. Dude don’t have the skillz to back up his mouf.

I'm certain that after he reads that he's going to give up all his worldly goods and join a monastery.

You'll be waiting to lick his boots there too.

What is your favorite JCO book?

I have read a few, at most ten of her books.

 

[Chernosoth]

Besides her books, I remember JCO as the woman who defended Mike Tyson after he committed rape and bit Holyfield's ear.

Musk is always a CRYBABY.

You post multiple threads about random people on the internet saying things you disagree with all the time ...it's basically what you do here on average

 

[DeluxAuto]

Imagine scouring the internet all day just to seek out things you disagree with only to post someone else's grievances on a porn board where everyone makes fun of you for your efforts .
