The fuck is he on ~~about~~?

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 58 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Money. Too much of it. We should help him, take away most of that money. That'll cure him.

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I heard he has a love of ketamine

It seems he is trying to get rid of his money as fast as possible. I suggest he send me $2 billion to start so I can offload it asap. I would be his most valuable liability.

He gets high from huffing his own farts.

Things he knows nothing the fuck about. As per usual.

I genuinely can't tell if the comic was added by somebody else to mock Musk's tweet, or if Musk is such a narcissistic prick with zero self awareness that he ""ironically" added this comic as part of his fellow-kids memelord act.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

[–] Octopus1348@lemy.lol 89 points 2 years ago

I checked, it was added to mock musk.

[–] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 29 points 2 years ago (2 children)

There's a simple litmus test. Musk would never joke about himself in a self-deprecating way, in any capacity. He has such a fragile ego it would break if someone farted in his general direction.

Yeah so somebody grew up in a racist household that prioritized Protestant ideals about work and success. And then that person moved to Silicon Valley with Daddy's money and worked there during its bommiest years. Then went on to pump money into electric cars and rockets.

This all came to a screeching halt during Covid when all of a sudden, he had to not prioritize profits and success but rather the health and safety of his employees and others.

This sent him down a rabbit hole on Twitter where suddenly he felt accepted by all the Trump crowd. Now he's stuck there and slides further right each day.

This guy is now the wealthiest person on the planet.

Fuck Elon.

Perfect summary

Just when I think I couldn't hate him anymore, he omits the Oxford comma...

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 42 points 2 years ago

Did you just grammerism him?

[–] Zehzin@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Don't make me quote the 2008 hit single Oxford Comma by Vampire Weekend

When you remember he got his starting wealth from an apartheid emerald mine in South Africa, this behavior makes perfect sense.

[–] Blackmist@lemmy.world 47 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They've captured his weird lumpy face beautifully.

War is peace.

Freedom is slavery.

Ignorance is strength.

[–] CareHare@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I thought this at first as well. But then I thought he probably is that dislodged from reality that he genuinely thinks he's discriminated against when people mention equity and stuff like that because he's the antagonist of equity.

If everyone in the world is at least not poor and comfortable it means a lot less wealth for him; a big No No for PeElon.

"When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."

I’m generally sick of hearing about Elon at all even if it’s criticizing him, but this was a good one.

The vanity is off the charts.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sadly, a professor I used to respect is following similar bullshit ideologies. Climate denialism, veiled racism, and bigotry. Once he moved out of California into a much more red area, he plummeted.

When I was younger I assumed I was surrounded by differing opinions. Now it feels more like I'm surrounded by idiots.

When you make fun or point out the obvious flaws of the oppressor, it's not "-ism", it's freedom

[–] 7heo@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

They would not even understand, they practice narciss-ism even more often than rac-ism.

Also, talking about inclusivity, this is a (probably not fully exhaustive) list of all the "-ism"s. That is how much of an ignorant cretin people using this neologism are.

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 30 points 2 years ago

It's not racism when you, a single person, are hated. Its people telling the truth about you.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago

I'm reminded of Bender:

"This isn't even about you"

"That's impossible!"

Bet a board member tried to explain to him what DEI is two minutes before he Xat this Xeet.

Muskrat’s diversity plan is “exploit Indians who rely on Xitter visa sponsorship”

He's not racist, he'd use visas to hold employees of any race ransom.

[–] name_NULL111653@pawb.social 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I propose an alternative nominative singular: Xit. He Xat this Xit on Xitter...

I am very confused. Is that a comic he had made about himself? I wouldn't be entirely surprised...

[–] open_world@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I wish this post was presented more clearly.

[–] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can't stop thinking about the guy that replies to every one of his posts, asking to have lunch with him and give him a job.

Dude's been doing that shit for years.

It's weird that this clearly started as accusations-in-a-mirror and then it just became true. Like life mimics memes
