Poor Musk was robbed, he was promised that if he paid generously, the election result would be guaranteed. In the end he was cheated, it's unfair. Cry, Cry, crocodile tears. 😭
I want to know why anyone still uses that shitty Nazi site he bought.
Because it’s the site where you can follow and interact with the most people.
No one in their right mind should want to interact with the nazi-loving scum on that shit hole.
It's almost as if there are many different people on that website.
And its a shitty thing for each of them to use the website.
You spelled bots wrong homie.
Sure, there are bots. There are also a lot of real people, politicians, journalists, analysts, software engineers etc.
I actually tried to replace X a few weeks ago and considered Mastodon and Bluesky. Nobody I follow on X is on Mastodon, and only three are on Bluesky.
Go outside? I have never used Twitter and live a perfectly normal life. I have access to plenty of information and opinions from paid subscriptions to newspapers and personal blogs. No one can communicate anything serious on Twitter. For sport highlights or similar - I get it. For anything else - a social tool - people have simply forgotten to go outside and do real stuff with real people. You are lying to yourself by saying Twitter provides something you can't live without.
You answer to finding a platform that provides most of the information I want to have is to ... go outside? Do you think that's even remotely helpful?
Dont be lazy and find it elsewhere? I didnt realize twitter was where all new things come from.
I guess maybe? Since technically, he did buy it, right? But this is sort of like calling the cops because someone stole your heroin, isn’t it??
How can this man walk freely on the street? He would get shanked in prison and those dudes have to make knives with toothbrushes and other garbage.
This idiot just walks around and no one shoots their shot.
He would be protected by the nazis in prison.
lol, how long before the prison Nazis get tired of his shit.
Well, I mean he had an entire security detail deputized by the US Marshalls....so it's not like he's just walking out in the open. The guy surrounds himself with sycophants and other billionaires, it's the only way to completely isolate yourself from reality.
I don't think he's really made an actual public appearance since being booed on stage at that chapel show, and that was by people going to see an unfunny transphobe.
YOU LITERALLY BOUGHT VOTES
…Which is why he thinks it’s rigged…
Can't argue with that logic. CHECK AND MATE, LIBERAL!
He's been able to get whatever he wants by throwing money at it his whole life, so when it doesn't work he automatically cries foul.
Exactly like Trump.
Oh look, Conservatives sowing more doubt and mistrust because they can't handle it when faced with how unpopular they are.
Quelle surprise.
Sowing like planting seeds not sewing like creating a garment
But now that I think about it they both kinda work... sewing the threads of lies.
You know, I looked at that and knew it looked wrong but brain couldn't figure out why.
Thanks!
Instead of a seamstress, we've got a memestress.
3..2..1.. wooowww, is he REALLY saying that? I am SO surprised and I really NEVAH expected this to happen! Oh my God, did this really happen?
Nah, of course not
We all knew immediately after her win that this was the next step. First try to cheat, if that doesn't work, lie about the other cheating to get what you want.
Elmo is a mysigenic sociopathic narcissist sho actively destroys and ends lives.
"I WASNT ABLE TO BUY THIS ELECTION DESPITE MY VAST WEALTH, SO OBVIOUSLY SOMEONE ELSE BOUGHT THIS ELECTION AND STOLE IT WITH THEIR VAST WEALTH, ITS THE ONLY CONCEIVABLE REASON WHY I COULD POSSIBLY LOSE!"
He's salty because he got outbid. Damned eBay snipers.
Everything is stolen when your a South African Nazi fascist who was unable to buy the vote they wanted.
Hey F’Elon; how about returning those billions of dollars you’ve stolen from the U.S. government (and many other governments) over the past decade.
Fuck you Elon 🖕
Musk boosted a post by Alex Jones featuring Roger Stone
It's like a who's who of absolutely garbage people.
Musk = POS Nazi.
Elon, this isn't an auction you disphit
Your attempts to steal an election were subverted and now you're complaining. Fucking GOLD.
This is a guy who wants to blame the world for his botched gender affirmation surgery that left him with a mangled useless sex organ.
No wonder he hates trans people so much.
No wonder he has so many ivf babies with multiple women.
No wonder he wants to experiment on unwilling human subjects in El Salvador until he can get the neuralink chip to work (he wants to be able to push a button to get off. He has been waiting years for his tantric release. There is no other way)
No wonder he’s so rich yet seems so unhappy.
botched gender affirmation surgery that left him with a mangled useless sex organ
I keep hearing this around here. Is there any actual reason to think it's true?
Even if the bit about the surgery is true, it's a very reductive explanation of issues which clearly aren't new in his life. He was brought up by far-right parents and his father apparently showed him no love. He has been poisonously insecure all his life, only now he has the power to inflict his psychological troubles on the world. Ever since he got financially lucky in the 1990s, he has had the money to buy influence and pay people to do what he wants, so he has never become equipped to deal with people as equals and has all kinds of issues and insecurities around power. He discovered early that, while he had trouble making friends, he could make an impression on people by being edgy and controversial, and has never managed to move beyond this into a more mature persona.
I feel like saying "it's all because of his wonky penis" trivializes how profoundly this man's life has messed him up, and how many complex factors are at work in his psyche. It also implicitly insults anyone else who doesn't have "normal" genitalia.
Space Nazi abuses ketamine- that’s an established fact. And ketamine abuse can do horrible things to your urogenital tract. So it might not be botched gender affirming surgery that is his pee pee problem, but ketamine side effects.
how profoundly this man’s life has messed him up, and how many complex factors are at work in his psyche.
Why should we give a single fuck? This guy lies, cheat and sayd himself he thinks empathy is a weakness. Why should have any towards him. He calls everyone he disagree losers, called my prime minister "girl" and openly makes nazi salutes, and you want us to play the "Tell me about chilhood Elon" card? He's a little narcissist privilege bitch who's been exploiting people all his life, and I will be happy to take a piss on his grave. And I have no doubt the size of his dick (it's obviously tiny) is one of the reasons he want's to make the world suffer.
He thinks it's "stolen" because he also thought he had bought it and thus owned it.
He still has his receipts! But there's a no-return policy for purchased elections.
