He hit the triple with this one
Is Elon Musk having a Kanye type breakdown? Musk was a shitty person even before the Twitter purchase but he has really cranked that dial to 11 now.
He really should have bought Reddit, it would be a better fit
Him and spez? Two peas in a racist pod.
Abbott and Costello Join The Klan.
Yeah I think he would've been welcomed there to a much greater degree
Eh...lots of the liberals are actually sick of him, and Musky is very publicly on the wrong team for them
He’s playing for the “I’m a rational centrist” audience which is functionally the moderate wing of the MAGA movement.
I truly believe this is a play by him and Peter Thiel to co-opt the GOP in the aftermath of Trumpism and forge a new political coalition that unites enlightened centrists with the remnants of MAGA. They won’t jettison MAGA but instead they’ll emphasize the anti-establishment nature of MAGA but direct that energy against democratic institutions that limit the power of the actually existing oligarchic corporate government.
He’s going to carry a lot of these card carrying progressive liberals who consider themselves “rational centrists”, not just Joe Rogan types but also suburban white democrats who say “black lives matter but I oppose those urban riots” and “trans rights are important but let’s allow kids to be kids”.
A potential new GOP coalition that reunites suburban whites who identify as progressive without endorsing any actual challenge to the status quo with the MAGA radicals. The grand white coalition.

Bill Maher liberals. I know one personally who would consider himself very anti-racist and pro-LGB minus the T, and pro welfare state (but not pro-union). He would absolutely get sucked into this.

Sounds like a lot of the :libertarian-approaching: "MAGA communists" I have to constantly deal with / forced to tolerate at :reddit-logo:
I'm for M4A, but I don't want the government to be the single payer :soypoint-2: REEE SOCIALISM and I don't want a fractional sub penny of my taxes to pay for abortions and trans healthcare REEEE IDPOL but treating my :frothingfash: erectile dysfunction is cool!
I'm for better and cheaper education but GOBERNMENT SOCIALISM PAY YOUR DEBT! (But the rich will pay for it with speculation trade taxes, and it really isn't a big deal) REEEE TAXES
Here I am :improve-society: and they derail themselves into transphobic WEF conspiritards incapable of seeing the same patterns from previous Red Scare and Lavender Scares.
Then the amount of DeSatan supporters out there, even when given evidence that the dude is a corrupt AF :frothingfash: , worse than :cheeto-man: is too damned high.
COVID broke people's brains - hard. :brainworms: They think "the left" did nothing and were all complicit, and over half of them think "the left" = democrats still. When you had actual leftist groups like Public Citizen drop the Pfizer's Power documenting the Pharma hijacking of governments. But because Public Citizen was founded by RALPH NADER of the Green Party - it doesn't exist because it doesn't align with the far right's narrative "the left did nothing so vote Republican "
You had the green party black caucus come out against forcing medication and pro informed consent. . But because it doesn't align with "the left sat back and did nothing so vote Republican" it doesn't exist.
You had Socialist Alternative come out against mandates and workplaces should be democratically voted on with reguards to policy. But because it doesn't align with "the left sat back and did nothing so vote Republican " it doesn't exist.
There absolutely exists a well financed and a sustained camapign to try to siphon leftists to the :frothingfash: vote Republican pipeline playing along the culture wars lines. Democrats are facilitating it by doing nothing and by re-affirming their ratchet clank to the right via Clinton telling them not to defend transgenders, not countering the extreme disinformation about transgenders, and moving their primary to Clyburn country. After they funded and boosted far right candidates and helped move this country even further off a fascist abyss.
Then you have both parties playing the CHINA CHINA CHINA / RUSSIA RUSIA RUSSIA Red Scare bits and if you aren't on board then you're a bot what time is it in Bejing / Moscow?!
Sorry for the rant. Had to get a bit off my chest.
He's still mad about California instituting Covid guidelines in his Fremont factory that was covered in swastikas.
They also kept their black employees in a segregated area called "the plantation".
You can take the failson out of apartheid South Africa but you can't take apartheid out of the South African failson.
his Fremont factory that was covered in swastikas.
:what-the-hell: I missed that.
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/feb/18/tesla-california-racial-harassment-discrimination-lawsuit
Black employees were largely grouped in a part of the factory that was called the plantation. Swastikas and racial slurs were spray painted on walls and left there for months.
The owner pays himself billions to turn a big dial in the racism factory's control room while heeding audience responses. :dril:
And I bet he still wonders why all his relationships fail with everyone resolutely hating him.
We're moving ever closer to the white power / 'Apartheid was misunderstood' banger post.
Imagine a 14 year old billionaire captain of industries he didn't build but bought out and here we are.
What a waste of a human being. He won't even do something funny like banning every Democratic politician or something else even close to punching up. Instead he's just making life worse for people who have done nothing wrong to him.
He's just mad his trans daughter disowned him and his ex left him for a trans woman. Kinda how Kanye doesn't like Jews because Pete Davidson fucked his ex-wife with his 10" cock.
Both men are broken and pathetic.
Kinda how Kanye doesn’t like Jews because Pete Davidson fucked his ex-wife with his 10" cock.
Lol I'm not sure Pete Davidson is Jewish
He's not Jewish. Jewishness passes to you through your mother. If your mother is Jewish, you're Jewish. The dad, no. It's why they warn men against marrying "shiksas", or non-Jewish women.
I mean yes and no. Technically in temple, but I know plenty of people with a Jewish dad who spent more time in jewish religious celebration. I’d call them jewish, more so than Christian for sure
It's not "yes and no". If your mother is Jewish then you're Jewish. It's matrilineal. This is thousands of years old.
I tried telling the Nazis I’m not technically Jewish because my dad was Jewish but my mom wasn’t, but here I am in auschwitz anyway. Dang it.
You can't hit a fascist far or hard enough. Kanye should be liquified and converted into compost.
One of the few good things to come of scientology is the concept of someone being dubbed " fair game ", which I have appropriated for my own purposes
I dared to say lgbtq people are not groomers and my replies are inundated with chuds calling me a pedo. Truly the peak of the town square
Medieval peasants would not have had their brains steeped in liberal-conservative propaganda all their lives and would probably recognise Musk as just another asshole lord and a very silly one as well.
:you-are-a-serf: " Wots this Ser Musk's deal? Seems to me he just sells rickety carriages that are right prone to burst into flames?"
:shrek-pixel-despair: "Aye, and he just paid off the town crier, tells him to 'preserve freeze peach' wotever that means..."
:you-are-a-serf: "We don't even grow peaches here!"
:soypoint-2: :blue-check: "Nay, gentlemen, you lot have it all wrong. Ser Elon Musk of Rhodesia proclaimed just a fortnight ago that he would put a shipload of men on the moone! This is great news for the gold-mark!"
I reply to everyone defending the church / christianity on tiktok with "shut the fuck up groomer" now, you should do the same on the bird site
yes yes, le edgy atheism, i know
but they made their bed and they will now lie in it
did you reply with pictures / articles of chud pedos? That's what I would do before checking out.
I haven’t seen confirmation yet but apparently the max length of a tweet is increasing to 4000 characters too
He’s gonna end up installing Ian Miles-Cheong as CEO or something isn’t he
I haven’t seen confirmation yet but apparently the max length of a tweet is increasing to 4000 characters too
Lol he's gonna crash twitter just by allowing that. People are going to abuse the hell out of it, twitter will be unusable.
One thing that might be worth considering is that probably everything from the apps to the way their servers handle data is designed around the character limit. The bird site might struggle even if people don't abuse it, lmao.
Still not nearly enough to post that speech in Atlas Shrugged. :my-hero:
Wasting 40 billion dollars and assuming multi-billion dollar per year interest payments just to :meemaw: post is the ultimate diseased product of this system. I can't think of a better example where we've commodified social relationships and monopolised economic ones into a single parody of a person. Trump is the nearest thing but even he isn't as feral. Musk is the most pathologically-driven man alive and he's given unlimited resources/power to try to manifest his need to be loved. He's what happens when you stare into the abyss of divorce and it stares back into you.
This guy owns a nuralogical machine interface company, one of the worlds largest human psychological experiment platforms, and :melon-musk: couldn't pass a psych 101 level of sexuality and gender identity.
We are so fucked as a planet. :yea:
People also think that he was single-handedly responsible for creating openAI :agony-shivering:
We’re in hell. This is the worst possible timeline.
He was on their board for a while, but resigned about a year before GPT-2 launched, citing a conflict of interest with Tesla's AI division (which, I think it's fair to say, has achieved less.)
