    Lol he knows people aren't switching to Babylon Bee in any real numbers. This one got him.

      What is he even trying to do here? Why would he choose to bring attention to this random Onion post and then not even try to "refute" it in any way?

      I know it can be easy to go "hehe people who don't agree with me dumb" but I think Elon is genuinely a bit of an idiot

    My father & his extended family have been dependent on financial support from my brother & me for over 20 years.

    You know what else ended over 20 years ago? That's right: Apartheid

    I didn't even realize it was Elon replying at first, lol. Imagine being literally the richest person on the planet and still getting angry on twitter

      The guy is having a mid-life crisis as we speak, posting cringe memes and thinking he's cool.

      I wonder how much of his "strenuous" daily work schedule is just scouring Twitter to find, and insult, people who are critical of him.

      I'm thinking 75%.

      It can't just be his main. He's gotta have at least a hundred sock puppets. At least.

      If I was the richest man on earth I would be too busy having massages and sipping tropical drinks for that bullshit. I'd be a job creator and hire people to be angry on twitter for me.

    Elon literally only likes the Babylon Bee cos they post stuff like "Elon Musk is once again voted the coolest guy ever" with a shitty Photoshop of him wearing sunglasses with an explosion in the background.

    It's not even satire. It's just some guy jerking off Musk; presumably so Musk keeps namedropping them and increasing traffic to the site. It's like they're both grifting each other.

      They're both extremely unfunny, so they also have something in common.

      their jokes are like, "Nancy Pelosi is now transgender!" like that would just be the whole joke with an incredibly bad mspaint photo attached to it.

    I notice he’s repeatedly denying the emeralds thing but does he offer any support other than “trust me”? Curious for more info around this because I’m in close proximity to some Elon fans and want to be prepared

      If the emerald mines thing were true, no one would work for him.

      The Amazon excuse for piss bottles works for everything.

        Also a lack of zoning laws and incredibly pliable city councils perfectly willing to bend to his goofy infrastructure projects

        Texas was turning away from Bible Belt conservatism in the early through mid 1980's before the cultural war folks started making Texas a mecca.
