How can a simulation keep spinning? And what is the role of the media? Can you use it for your own demand?
“Is the world around us real — or are we living in a simulation, like characters trapped inside some space alien’s video game?” nbcnews.com/mach/science/w…
“Today, journalists are not just bystanders watching an evolving avalanche of disinformation and misinformation. They find themselves in its pathway too." en.unesco.org/sites/default/…
What if you want something and how do you get it. Spreading a fake narrative or blackmail could be an option.
Like typical blackmail, emotional blackmail involves someone trying to get what they want from you.
But instead of holding secrets against you, they manipulate you with your emotions.
How can we define the steps that led towards Grimes simulation?
Stage 1: Demand: Boosting up a career
Boosting up a career is not a crime and is done by many celebrities, well-known persons or influencers.
This can be done by promoting via social media.
It becomes a crime when they use it for reputation damage or for their own gain. Media has an important role for promoting the narrative of an upcoming ‘relationship’.
Page Six was the first media who reported it. Other media used this story or used it as a source.
“Then on Monday, a few hours before Page Six published its story on Musk and Grime's relationship, Musk cryptically tweeted "Rococo Basilisk."
“Elon Musk has been keeping everyone guessing about his love life, but sources exclusively revealed to Page Six that he has been quietly dating hip musician Grimes
It is always the ‘sources’ or the ‘insiders’ who always are anonymous. While there is no need to be anonymous.
Page Six even added a video of the couple in the article. Here you can clearly see that they nod and smile to the photographers.
But when they walk away, body language always tells. They probably thought it was a onetime arrangement and tried to be nice. pagesix.com/2018/05/07/elo…
Stage 2: Resistance: Let people know what's going on.
If we look at another video of the Met Gala 2018, there is some odd conversation with the press.
Notice; "I don't have to do this"! And the media responded “You are doing it”.
Notice: no hands, no arms around each other, clearly not walking as a couple.
Yes, there was a video where they had a dance, but this was made at the beginning of the Gala and more guests were asked to do something.
The ‘love’ relationship is mainly written by the media.
Stage 3: Pressure: Create a narrative and become a ‘reliable’ source
“First line in this story: THIS was supposed to be a cute family happy snap of Elon Musk, his girlfriend Grimes and his son. But it turned into something else entirely.”
“The trio came together at Musk’s SpaceX headquarters in California for the company’s Hyperloop Pod Competition, where college students test out their own pod creations.” news.com.au/lifestyle/rela…
Incorrect in this narrative: He wasn’t there with one son. If you search for more photo’s, you can see that he was there with all of his sons.
This picture is a photo with fans. She looks out of place in this photo, not really participating or invited in the picture.
There is also something strange in the second picture of the article regarding shadow ‘errors’. It looks like the sun is coming from multiple sides.
There are also other shadow ‘errors’. In this picture you see the shadow on all people on the ground going in the same direction.
There is an extra shadow on his shirt at the front, In this shadow you can see clearly he is wearing sunglasses, but not the heart shaped ones.
If we look at other pictures, they are telling a different story.
First she's standing from a distance, the guy with the red cap seems to guide her.
These pictures tells more the story of a ‘fan’ wanting to take a picture via a contact person or another ‘fan’.
“Elon Musk, 47, and girlfriend Grimes, 30, enjoy a date night at UFC fight in Los Angeles. “They have been together for months now."
It looks more like she just ‘happened’ to walk in front of him. Getty Images just have one photo, but no ‘girlfriend’?
“Inside the baffling battle between rapper Azealia Banks and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.”
“However, in some of the most high-pressure weeks in the Tesla’s CEO’s career, the rapper has become an unexpected source of complications for the billionaire.” businessinsider.nl/azealia-banks-…
They spent an entire article for explaining this timeline with a lot of details.
If an article only represents one side of the story and show a lot of one side details, they want to sell a narrative not the truth.
“Elon Musk calls SEC fraud lawsuit ‘unjustified,’ says he acted in best interests of investors.”
“The SEC complaint alleges Musk made that claim knowing it was false and without the input of other Tesla executives.” cnbc.com/2018/09/27/elo…
In this article there was no reference to the story that 420 was a reference of weed. That story came ‘alive’ through the posts of Banks and Grimes. Other media based their story on the 420 narrative and not on the actual SEC complaint.
“Troubled Elon Musk, 47, is seen with girlfriend Grimes, 30, for the first time in months as he takes her to a pumpkin patch with his five sons amid '$420' Tweet debacle that led to $20m in fines for the Tesla CEO.” dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6…
In this article there were some interesting photo’s, what appears to be a nice family moment. But it looks like the security guard had to step in. First photo, the article stated they were arriving, but the picture shows she is leaving. Second photo shows a security guard call.
In the third photo the security guard now stands between the couple. The fourth photo the security guard still stands between them and still having a phone call.
This makes me wonder if she really was invited.
The media on the other hand reports this as an happy family moment.
First time the media mentioned her as an ex-girlfriend.
“Elon Musk wants to keep ex-girlfriend Grimes out of an investor lawsuit over his take-private tweet.” cnbc.com/2019/01/04/elo…
“Musk’s attorney, argued in a motion filed ..that the proposed subpoena of .. Grimes, who was dating Musk in August when he tweeted ..., is an effort to “sensationalize these proceedings” rather than a legitimate fact-finding mission.”
“Elon Musk’s reported ex-girlfriend Grimes tweeted ‘Randomly, I am in China,’ on the same day he launched his new Tesla Gigafactory in Shanghai.”
Note: All stories in the media about the ‘relationship’ contains only a one side story where she plays the key role. And the media is again selling a narrative. They all copy the same narrative.
Stage 5: Compliance: Give up, give in
“Elon Musk and his girlfriend Grimes were spotted enjoying a date night in Malibu - as the CEO announced he would buy $25million of Tesla stock.” dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6…
Further more the news article had no other news value.
According to the pictures, someone wasn’t enjoying the date night.
Notice his facial expressions , he looked not recognizable as who he was a year ago.
And wonder about the open hands when he spotted the camera.
I don’t think he hates to hold hands, he had done this more than once with others in the past.
Looking at their hands how they folded, Grimes is definitely in control.
Stage 6: Repetition: The pattern is set
“Despite only releasing one song, 2018 might have been one of Grimes’ biggest years on record.
Her relationship with technocrat Elon Musk catapulted her from indie-royalty to mainstream celebrity” junkee.com/grimes-wall-st…
“As she readies the release of her new album, Grimes—who now goes by ‘c’—opens up about her influences and relationships, and why she’s decided to kill off her musical persona”
“The trouble with Grimes, she is saying, and why Grimes needs to die soon, is that she (c) needs to be free.” “I’m super bound by the limits I’ve set for myself [with Grimes],” the 31-year-old says.
“Though last fall it seemed their relationship might be on the rocks, a March (2019) interview that Grimes, born Claire Boucher, gave to the Wall Street Journal’s magazine showed that the two are still together.”
“Today, journalists are not just bystanders watching an evolving avalanche of disinformation and misinformation. They find themselves in its pathway too."
What if you want something and how do you get it. Spreading a fake narrative or blackmail could be an option.
Like typical blackmail, emotional blackmail involves someone trying to get what they want from you.
“C insists Grimes is an experiment. “For me, it’s almost like a sociological exercise in the nature of celebrity. I just watch what happens to the Grimes character. It’s pretty important for my own mental health. I definitely have to abstract myself from my persona.”
“It takes a lot of effort to, like, build something, to work on something for a decade and then be like OK, the winds will take it where it will.”
Note: In interview it also mentioned the “associated act Elon Musk” regarding fiction vs reality. Is it all an act?
