General Elon Musk Fukkery Thread

[Liu Kang]

Voice of God?
Elon gon let it drop that he thinks he's god one of these days. The man has delusions of grandeur and the American people have given him the keys.

Nah that's not what the journo meant.

When the negotiations stalled Musk tweeted "Vox populi, vox dei" which means "The voice of the people is the voice of god" in latin.

It's a populist saying (in Europe ?) which wrongfully indicates that as a politician/leader, you should follow what the people want.

I say wrongful because the orignal meaning is actually the total opposite.

Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit

Meaning broadly "Never listen to those who keep saying that the voice of the people is the voice of god because the tumultuous nature of the crowd is always close to insanity"

But I'm not gonna blame Musk on that one, it's Machiavel who gave the meaning a 180 and people have been using the new one since then.
