Latest person to be fooled by Elon Musk's supposed affability and "nerd-cred": Geoff Keighly.

I don't give a shit about the Musk hate but Keighley has always (since his gametrailers days) given me these vibes of feigned earnestness. He's a phony cloud chaser putting on a show for his business, like that grating attempt at poignancy he made at the Game Awards for Kojima. This shit is right up his alley.
I hope he's at the game awards to announce something ridiculous like the new Doritos branded Switch just to watch the reaction.
Where's the resetera.gif when you need it.
Boogie didn't really start becoming a useful idiot until well after he won that award, roping Geoff in with all that is just weird.
So...Greg Miller is still one of the Few decent people to win the Trending Gamer award? I guess this year it's between Musk (dummy) and Ninja.
I guarantee that getting Musk on the show will drive more viewers. What evidence do you have It will not?
But Kojima and Geoff have a friendship though so it makes sense.
Nobody is demonizing him. So far I've seen most people here point out valid reasons for their dislike of him.
people need to stop thinking about nazis only caring about the aryan ideal
Certain viewpoints are bannable here, and for good reason. It's okay to have an issue with people that push those viewpoints.
At a time when we have article after article of how people in this game industry are underpaid and overworked, it's depressing that they'd bring in an anti-union guy like Elon Musk who's known for doing just that to his employees. It'd benefit the awards show and the bottom line and be a fuck you to the people who work in this industry.
Everyone who runs a business has to balance between their ethics and the greater good for their workers, and what would maximize profit. Of course, capitalism encourages the latter, but it doesn't necessarily have to be that way. It's disappointing where Geoff Keighly falls in that equation, again, especially when we have all these articles about crunch time. The Game Awards would end up as a celebration of worker exploitation to anyone thinking critically about it - not that most people would, looking at the hard-on people have for the rocket ship man in this thread. That's Keighly's prerogative as a guy running a business, no doubt.
It was more of a joke about how Musk is actually a sociopathic ball of incompetence rather than an anything-savvy Business Man
But yeah the creepy cult of people that go out of their way to shield him from the harsh consequences of his words and actions would probably tune in I guess
Don't worry, Musk demonizes himself with everytime he doubles down on a shitty thing he says.
I think even besides the cult, which I do agree there is, the general public views Musk very favorably. Americans love captains of industry.
I would fucking love to see Musk at the VGA. Don't like the dude but it would be absolutely fucking hilarious to see the response on here. Would probably crash the site.
The rhetoric that you have to constantly be spitting venom against someone just to keep up the perception that you dont support them...sheesh.
Good luck with your endeavours. Sounds like a jolly good time.
