This is not a difficult thing to understand. Despite some people putting Tony on a pedestal…he’s still in the group most likely to be thin skinned, overly dramatic and overly sensitive to any perceived slight. He’s a rich, successful businessman. No matter how good you think this particular billionaire is compared to another one…almost all of them have the exact same fundamental flaw. Why does Musk lose his shit on a daily basis? Same reason Tony tweets like a petulant child. Success to them isn’t solely about money and power. It’s about respect that can’t be bought. There is nothing that a rich man desires more than complete approval. Whenever they get the opposite they lose their freaking minds. It’s the only thing they don’t have control over. Psychologically…the desire to be universally respected is more important to them than the money. Because they have the money. They are incapable of imagining life without it or understanding life without it. But praise and admiration? That’s what they value. that’s some Homelander shit.

For a dude that seems like he’d post on the Something Awful forums or /b/ or literally any message board in the 2000s he is f***ing awful about not feeding the trolls. That was literally rule 3 after NO CAP LOCKS or beware anyone with a Gir from Invader Zim avatar Things haven’t been kawaii desu xD ^__^ in a looong time

Yes, I'm aware how badly this aged. No, I still stand by a lot of what I said before. These tweets he should probably back away from. Hey bro! I was just talking Vinny Ru, bro. No need to get upset bro. We’re bros, bro.

I really hope TK has the good sense to not even try and compete with that SmackDown because, like, the show's going to be eaten alive no matter what they do, it's network vs. cable. Just focus on putting on a good show and brace for the L. Book The Bunny, win the war, clearly.

I like Tony and think he gets a lot of unnecessary hate but may be time to log off twitter for a bit It has been over 72 hours and he’s still going at it I am sorry that happened to his mom and glad she is doing well but if WWE did this why isn’t he suing them for everything they got? I hope someone is talking to him because his emotions have got the best of him all week and he’s going to say some shit he regrets This isn’t trolling or trying to draw ratings. It’s personal If I remember right they did take action and sent a legal threat.

I don't give two shits about Tony Khan, but is this thread devolving into just criticism and allegations?

I will say, at least Tony Khan can competently run a business and have it be a gradual success. Elon's owned a social media app for just about a year now and he couldn't have f***ed things up worse than he has (And that's not even accounting all the dumb shit he's done with Tesla and everything else) along with anyone's overall view of him. I can say Tony Khan has done more than most billionaires that can be considered respectable and good, but of course, never worship a billionaire, because in the end you aren't gonna be shit to them. This is why while I actively do respect Tony Khan for what he's done and continues to do on and off camera, the man isn't perfect and needs to learn that shit like this isn't worth his time and doesn't make him come off well or get the praise he wants. Essentially not everyone's gonna like you and you gotta learn to deal with it. Anyway, can we all just come together and hate Elon Musk? That's so much easier to do lmfao

Because no one in here has actively done that, and the dude has been very clearly criticized for almost 30 pages now.

I guess I don't always equate "needing help" to needing to psychiatrist. I'm sure someone on this thread has said specifically "psychiatric help", but I haven't seen it. I think he needs help with his social media and this past week has confirmed it in my non-PHD mind. I think he should step away from social media a few days, other than maybe a tweet promoting the upcoming show, which he does VERY well. Let all of this blow over. As others have said, I think he should hire a social media team. He can still provide what he wants them to promote (in his words) but other than that, social media is something he can easily take off his plate. Just my opinion. Then this is a miscommunication then. Because I've always seen "getting help" used as a euphemism for "they have a serious problem and need intervention from a professional." If that's not your meaning, then we're good. I can only speak for myself... I mean he needs help with his business as stated above. I can see the confusion and I apologize.

All this talk about taking a break and what topics/viewpoints are valid for discussion actually made me realize I need a nice long break from here. So something positive did come from Tony’s tweets! See you whenever, FAN. Same. This week has been a blitz of stuff I'm super uncomfortable with. Yeah I'm with ya, idk there's just a real bad vibe in the board this week 😔

Yeah I'm with ya, idk there's just a real bad vibe in the board this week 😔 The vibes around wrestling as a whole are just kind of negative lately. Starting with CM Punk's exit from AEW, WWE's mini talent purge, and then the head-to-head on Tuesday and everything that comes along with that. I'm just gonna watch SmackDown and probably Rampage tonight, have a couple of beers, and stay off of the internet during the shows I think.

If this thread makes it to page 41 I'm deleting my f***ing account no way Please don't...you make this place a better one...with that said...Khan's fuel on the fire today doesn't help the situation die down at all. I know the mods would like for it to not just happen at all but i promise you this is the most level headed place so far discussing this in an overwhelming "protect Tony from Tony's current emotions" way which is admirable.
