Anime is legit on verge of being mainstream now. I fear for society we have come too far to be undone by anime :(
On other hand, he is the perfect guy to fund sequels for incomplete anime

He'll probably say all anime writers are paedophiles when they refuse to do things the way he wants them done anyway.
"The problem with defining even an aspect of your personality by something that you like, is that criticism of that product appears to you to be criticism of you personally. I find it to be a very harmful attitude, [...] you can't rationally discuss a product because you've started to define yourself by its very existence."

That moment that whatever Elon does is considered mainstream....I am surprised, he is just a nerd with way too much money, and he knows how to use them. Being high in the mainstream media does not mean that whatever he does is mainstream.







I mean, the guy knows spaceballs so he is awesome in my book.

Also, its twitter, did people expect him to release a manifesto detailing his appreciation of all things anime?

Its not groundbreaking news, but its still a cool "huh, didn't know that" moment to me.

He's doing it for business, lmao. Tesla's marketing strategy is so top tier

That's just basic "social media" attention seeking/behavior. I don't own social media accounts, because social media is basicly one huge ego echo chamber. I'm sorry to tell you the truth, but Elon really should know better to seek validation from others that he likes Chinese cartoons after all the negatieve news items (hurray for journalism) he had to endure. He's a scientist afterall. Or claims to be. Whatever rocks your boat.

I'm also totally not 'mean'. I'm just thinking rationally unless you get driven by your emotionals I see. I'm also a scientist afterall that likes "them Chinese cartoons" for entertainment and escapism, but I don't need social media to seek validation from others.

I don't wanna be that guy but...

so·cial me·di·a
noun
websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.

MyAnimeList
An internet site with a now defunct mobile application that allows users to create and share content or to participate in social networking...

This website also allows users to create profiles and showcase their interest in "Chinese cartoons" with an added "friend" fuction that serves to foster connections based on mutual interests...(*cough* AKA seek validation in liking certain stuff *cough*)

Bragging about not having a social media account because they're echo chambers from the depths of a social media account that garners an even louder echo chamber due to a niche shared interest is the best way to define what a hypocrite is to someone without using the word hypocrite.

Also I'm pretty sure the internet was originally created to share USEFUL information between people. Like research and shit. So unless you're solely using the internet to share research amongst colleagues, lecturing others on the actual origin of the internet seems, again, kinda hypocritical.

Because unless you also criticize people for using microwave technology for non military purposes or some other inventions who's purposes have evolved over time while you decide to limit yourself to the technology that you invent for the singular purposes in which they were designed for, you seriously got no room to talk.

But even if you did do that, that'd just be obnoxious as hell hahahaha

I'm pretty sure you're baiting but its cool since I'm on my lunch break lol.

You're allowed to be THAT guy in my opinion. I can give you in some degree right, but ever since social media became a thing the actual interaction between humans decreased while anxiety and depression increased. Society (plus the entire ecosystem) is crumbling in the front of our screen/systems of choice, but people care more nowadays about likes, upvotes and retweets then the fact we're in a self-indused mass extinction. Sure, I use the internet mostly of the time for research purposes myself, but I safely admit I also use it for entertainment purposes.

I'm honesty surprised people get upset or suprised I refuse to participate in social media bullshit any longer. It's really pointless, really. I really feel much better mentally without social media then in the days when I used FaceBook etc. But no, I'm not really "baiting". Been there, done that. It's way to easy to get people on thier horses. Just tell the truth and people get butthurt.

I'm not saying I didn't want to be that guy because I wasn't allowed to. 1st Ammendment rights pretty much guarantee that for me without me pointing it out. It's just tedious, and I meant I don't want to be tedious or a debbie downer.

And in regards to social media being a contributer to the downfall of our species, I'm pretty sure that's stretch as generational cohort theory's impact on social media addiction is correlative by design and was never intended to predict the possible cause of our demise.

Yes, studies has shown most recently that there is a trend (not a cause) indicating that while short term internet usage might help cope with pre existing mental issues by finding a pressure free platform for communication, long term usage stemming from internet addiciton exaceberates pre existing mental issues and doesn't actually create them.

But like dude, all that means is a lil internet socializing won't harm nobody. So preaching about how this new generation is doomed because of internet consumption is a failed argument as you are just rationalizing off of the basis of a huge assumption directed at a huge diverse demographic.

Just looking at this rant reminds me why I didn't want to be that guy since its a lose lose.

Either you realize that this was a thread to causally discuss some rich dude's interest in something most people here also like and not to debate his politics or business practices, and understand this is the weirdest place to preach how shitty younger people are for having a Facebook. The result being I don't get anything out of it besides the time wasted typing all this out and looking like a complete douche.

Or you don't get it, and continue as you were, and I still get nothing out of it while looking like a complete douche still for ranting.

Elon Musk says he likes anime. Some people believe that to be a clever marketing strategy to rebound against his massive debt or to satisfy his inner attention whore.

I'm more interested in whether the man has seen Evangelion and is a Misato fan like a true patrician instead arguing over middle schoolers. To each his own I guess...

I totally get it. Don't worry about it. But you also should reconsider it was a bit unnecessary on your part to throw names at me without even knowing me personally. It's treu a bit of fun every now and then can do no harm. It's just that I don't get people get so sensitive when I'm not joining the bandwagon for praising some guy that has a massive debt, doesn't understand woman iether because he remarried the same woman one time and prefering some guy that actully was very corrupt and money hungry and a rival of the idealistic person that carries his own company's name is not by my books. Oh well.


LUL. Honesty I still have to delve into the Evangelion franchise myself. But I already have heard the quite catchy opening song and I think from myself I would be an Asuka type of guy juding by her cute appearance and the fact I've seen a .gif from her kicking some guy naked.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not really. If Bill Gates does this, I'd go "Huh, neat" and be on my business. The situation surrounding Musk, what with being in hot waters and all, on top of a considerably growing pushback against his personality cult, is what prompted a lot of these responses, or at least mine.
