While I find the human shield arguments compelling, I figured he was just trying to virtue signal to the Republicans that he's a good, old fashioned family man just like them. "Republicans love kids and family, right, so if I show off my kid at all times they'll love me too, right? Please? Anyone? Please, love me."

He's too stupid to realize the right wing love of family is performative and they don't actually give a shit about kids.

Probably a bit of that but the timing fits too perfectly with Luigi

[–] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The first time I saw him with the kid, before the memes started, I literally said out loud to myself, "wtf is he using his kid as a human shield?" It was right after Super Mario Praxis dropped and that was my gut reaction.

It's possible he wants to seem like dad of the year, but lots of politicians have wanted that, and they don't do bring your kid to work day every day. Idk. Maybe it's a dual-purpose thing, but my money is primarily on human shield

[–] schema@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, the timing of him showing up with his kid suddenly is a bit too suspicious.

I have been wondering if keeping his kid around is some sort of anti-assassination strategy.

Young little Kevlar Musk only started showing up after Luigi.

I believe it is instead to prove someone likes Elon Musk.

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago

Anyone going for Musk has already accepted there will be collateral damage.

Trolley problem time.

Quite rich using a human shield when for the last year the term "human shield" has been an excuse to destroy that shield for the purpose of destroying the target. If say someone were to drop a 2000lb bomb on them, it would be Musks fault for using a human shield, right?

[–] mossy_@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

see the difference is: musk appears to be white

[–] in4apenny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ok then, what if the person dropping the 2000lb bomb on Musk was Israeli?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 weeks ago

The paradox would instantly dissolve the minds of hundreds of millions of credulous idiots across the world.

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 20 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

And what do we do with those cowards who use children as human shields?

Cannonball?

[–] Crikeste@lemm.ee 11 points 2 weeks ago

We shoot the shields.

[–] TheBrideWoreCrimson@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 weeks ago

Shoot them in the dick.

Me, the premier genius of our era: "If I use my son as a hat, nobody be able to harm me."

Also me: "Going to do a big bump of ket, down a bottle of Jack, and have a surgeon rewire my dick to play music and shoot rainbows when I jerk off."

I wonder if he's hiding his drugs on the kid?

[–] LonstedBrowryBased@lemm.ee 14 points 2 weeks ago
[–] eletes@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 weeks ago

I saw a wild theory get floated that if something were to happen, the kid could be used for blood transfusion.

We're on the darkest timeline if that were true

We should get Israel to kill Elon. They're always bragging about shooting children

100% meat shield 🥩🛡️

For those that don't recognize the reference, there's a book by Oliver Sacks entitled The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat.

It's a fantastic book and highly recommended if you're interested in neurology and the effects of brain injuries (especially of the right hemisphere.)

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Fuck that, waste the kid too. There's no possible way he'll grow up to be anything but a shithead also ..he's already been imprinted with it as evidenced by his behavior in the Oval Office

Musk = POS Nazi.
