Noice! I'm gonna use that
Can we deport him?
He’s an American citizen so we’re stuck with him
I really wish there was a way to tell him to go back where he came from that wouldn’t make other immigrants uncomfortable. I’d gladly trade him for a hundred refugees.
You can wish him all the luck in achieving a one way ticket to Mars
It’s like the only reason he bought twitter is so he could post his far right ideological bullshit with impunity.
without impunity
*with impunity.
Unless you mean to say that people calling out his bullshit is a punishment.
You are correct
Nah did you see the new monetization scheme on there?
It's also to enrich far right mouth pieces.
Yeah he's updating the Murdoch playbook to modern standards basically. Government regulations may catch up in a few decades if we're lucky...
Sure, he's a racist man baby that never advanced his humor past 4chan and thinks safety is for losers, but he's not all bad. He destroyed twitter after all
Did he? It's still heavily used and most plebs seem scared of leaving it for Mastodon. They'd rather suck on some other corporate balls.
I think it's fair to say that he destroyed Truth Social, because these freaks are now free to use twitter again.
I've never even seen truth social before. I know it was trumpite central but the only thing I'd heard was some devs trolling the trump team by requesting the source code repeatedly. The rest was just trump mouthpiece schlock.
I've also never seen it, but I read some news articles about it burning money like crazy while losing users.
It used open source software (you could see via inspect element) but they removed the copyright disclaimer at the bottom
I wouldn’t call it trolling
Musk needs to stop with this racism
He was born a rich white boy in full apartheid South Africa, and has never been seriously confronted on any of his beliefs. Why do you think he would change?
Fucking this. Not to mention the inbred ass tastes some of the men in his family take to :)
I tried to understand your second sentence, but I might just be too stupid. Care to rephrase?
I think they might be referring to how his dad married his sister or something.
Check out Errol Musk. Dudes one of the few that think marrying their step daughter is a okay.
That's what's so hilarious about a lot of this. He's complaining he can't celebrate his cultural heritage... And everyone knows he's from South Africa. It's such a transparent dog whistle.
He needs to... but he won't.
Richest man on Earth has a prosecution fetish...
I said this in another thread: This is just more evidence that Jews are only white when it's convenient.
If you look at George Lincoln Rockwell's activities during the civil rights movement, you'll see how a lot of 'whiteness' was just racist consolidation.
Italians, Irish, Slavs, all got brought in because the racists needed a boost to their numbers to keep black people down.
They only care about Israel as a military staging area.
Agreed. And let me clarify- I do not mean to say (and I say this as a Jew myself) that Jews do not have all of the inherent privileges that come with whiteness. We absolutely do. I'm just talking about right-wing bigots. There are certain people who only consider me white when they need me to be on their side about something.
Perhaps he is not the clever technocrat nerd's nerd we thought he was.
What's this we crap? He's always been a nepo baby who head hunts industry talent and then utterly destroys their work with demands that no sane person with common sense would ask for.
I believed he was smart and innovative when I first heard of him. But then he opened his mouth and I called him for what he was way back then.
I thought most people finally started to see him for what he is back when that Thai soccer team were trapped in the cave, and Musk was throwing one of his first public temper tantrums. He called that one innocent person assisting with the rescue a pedophile because they criticized Musk's preposterous idea to invent a mini sub to rescue them.
He is a racist, bigoted, petulant man-child. Oh, and definitely a whiney little bitch.
I believed he was smart and innovative when I first heard of him.
Same here.
Dude is named Elon Musk and that is his actual head. The world is not a kind place to people with those attributes and absolutely none of that is his fault. I was predisposed to like him until I realized he was that guy.
The guy who talks out his ass while trying to make science jokes. Fractals. Dark matter. Mitochondria. Dihydrogen monoxide. Borg nanoprobes. He's simply educated just barely enough to know some terms to throw around.
He's the guy who slaps his pencil down onto his desk 10 minutes into the exam because it was so easy, he's done, and everyone else in the class needs to know it. \ Of course there was a long form question on the back of the paper that he didn't solve because he didn't listen to or read the instructions, or even think to flip over the paper. That's actually hilarious when you realize that this is that guy's MO. He never learns from mistakes like this. He can't. The test was unfair. He solved those first two answers so fast he should get extra credit. The professor is a vampire who is against him because he solves her exams too quickly. Dihydrogen monoxide!
I'm so sick of that guy.
The cave incident finally made most people realize that a) this guy has no idea of what a cave is, b) in a situation where children's' lives are in danger he needs to make it all about himself (and let the children die while they wait for a sub that won't work), and c) where someone in a capacity to actually help in the rescue points out that the Sub Idea is incredibly stupid and that they shouldn't wait for the sub that will immediately jam up the best route into the cave, he'll lose his shit.
But mainly - dude has no idea of what a cave is. Narcissists are a dime a dozen, but most "visionaries" should have some inkling of how caves work.
How are people still not able to tell the difference between Jews and Zionists?
We just had the "Guys not all Russians are evil, just their government" phase. By now you'd hope we could stop putting people in the wrong categorisation box
The same way so many people hate all POCs except the one in their church...They're one of the "good ones"
"hatred against white"? That's a strange way to say "racism"
Far right it's nowdays friend of the Zionists and they are fascists.
I can't even anymore. All the alliances changed and every conflict got gray.
