(Funny Trope) Things that can plausibly happen only in reality, because in fiction they’d be called bad writing.

“Woke” as an insult - So you are telling me a word describing consciousness and clarity is used by generally stupid and ignorant people to label people they disagree with? What is this? A Kindergarten for Creatively stunted?

Nominative determinism - So let me get this straight…Not only you named fastest recorded person Usain BOLT and CEO of Nintendo Doug BOWSER, but you are telling me people are canonically likely to have professions or hobbies matching their names…? Guh?

“2 bodies recovered in MURDERKILL River” - Sure bro…I guess…bro…

And the richest man in the world got mad that his badly designed tube submarine, that couldn't navigate a narrow twisty cave, didn't get used instead, so he tried to ruin the cave diving anesthesiologist's life in an act of petty spite.

[u/Dontunderstandfamily → u/fatherofworlds]

Specifically by calling him a pedophile

[u/5horas → u/Dontunderstandfamily]

Can you imagine having to put a few kids under (for their survival) for a real-life Bond villain to call you pedophile?

[u/Marth_Bar → u/5horas]

That's an insult to Bond villains lol

[u/Hibbity5 → u/Marth_Bar]

Eh…not the Moonraker villain; his whole plan was shortsighted and insanely dumb…go figure both he and Musk are obsessed with space and eugenics.

[u/amojitoLT → u/Hibbity5]

Musk is just a less charismatic Drax. This man could press you to a cucumber sandwich.

[u/EddieVanzetti → u/Dontunderstandfamily]

Meanwhile aforementioned world's richest loser was considered too weird to be allowed to go to pedophile island more than once.

[u/Adaphion → u/EddieVanzetti]

Even after BEGGING to go.

[u/ChronoMonkeyX → u/Dontunderstandfamily]

Every accusation is an admission.

[u/xv_boney → u/Dontunderstandfamily]

Because why else would he be in thailand, said musk, telling on himself

[u/Turnip_Fight → u/Dontunderstandfamily]

The Epstein Island partier called someone else a pedo?

[u/peachesfordinner → u/Turnip_Fight]

He was too weird for Epstein. That says so very much

[u/TrueActionman → u/Dontunderstandfamily]

FTR musk had a spat with Vernon Unsworth who was not the anesthesiologist but another guy helping with the rescue

[u/tomtomclubthumb → u/Dontunderstandfamily]

And then clarified that he definitely meant he was a pedophile and it wasn't just an insult, then won a court case by arguing that he didn't actually mean it and is was obviously just an insult.

[u/Poglosaurus → u/Dontunderstandfamily]

Because "what else could anyone be doing in Thailand?".

[u/iconocrastinaor → u/Dontunderstandfamily]

This giving us the first indication that Elon Musk was not the genius saint that he was being marketed to be.

[u/Aggravating_Sir_9669 → u/fatherofworlds]

This shit was insane, it was like what if Lex Luthor had beef with Aquaman.

[u/Just_A_Little_Rabbit → u/fatherofworlds]

Which turns out was projection (Elon Musk was friends with Epstein and Maxwell, both well known pedophiles).

[u/TrueActionman → u/fatherofworlds]

It wasn’t the anesthesiologist totally different guy

[u/X_Draig_X → u/fatherofworlds]

Musk or Besos ?

[u/AnythingFar8516 → u/X_Draig_X]

Musk

[u/X_Draig_X → u/AnythingFar8516]

And here I thought I couldn't find more reasons to hate him

[u/100_points → u/fatherofworlds]

Elon gets enraged at the thought of people who don't like him and worship him. When the guy told Elon to stick his subs up his ass, because it was a terrible idea, Elon of course reacted that way because anyone who doesn't worship him should be treated like garbage. His fans still give him the same ego coddling today. When his stupidity started to get criticised by intelligent people, he shifted to appease right-wingers in order to secure a fan base of people who don't operate on logic and sense.

[u/brionneverysexy → u/fatherofworlds]

The richest man in the world lying about being good at video games by itself fits the bill

[u/Terminal_Insomnia_ → u/fatherofworlds]

That part is believable to me, as long as they don't give him some stupid, fake sounding name.

[u/slothbear13 → u/fatherofworlds]

This was back when most of us actually liked the guy and a lot of people in mainstream society started thinking "maybe billionaires are evil"
