Sometimes a brother just needs to maintain the stench, you get me?

Geez genius … wonder why homophobia and antigay shot up in the 80s, islamophobia post 2001, transphobia since 2010. Can’t have anything to do with what’s happening in the world … has to be that damn woke mind virus
I hate these right wing fecks using FEMA as if they ever cared about it. They're the primary reason it never had enough money to begin with bc feck regular people. Especially a platinum spoon fed elitist like Musk couldn't care less if it wouldn't score political points.
Whenever I see the term "woke mind virus", it takes a few seconds for me to realize they mean the opposite of what I think it is, i.e. the brain rot going on with people who see woke in everything. If anything is a virus in our society, it's that.
Just an example, but after searching for the trailer of upcoming game Ghost of Yotei, a game where you play as a woman, my YT is now littered with videos like "Ghost of Yotei is Exposed as Woke Disaster", "Sony Execs Furious Over Woke Ghost of Yōtei! DEI Ruins Another Game!" or "Sony made Ghost of Yotei for a mOdErN aUdIeNcE, and gamers aren't interested in NONSENSE". Genuine titles.
It's seemingly become impossible to talk about anything involving women, or god forbid any sort of diversity, without that lot turning it into a complete cesspool. How is that not the fecking virus?
Exactly. The anti-woke crowd are fecking deranged.
Barring Twitter, every single one of his businesses, including the tunnel one he admitted was a scam after he shut it down, takes Billions of dollars a year in federal subsidies. Every one.
I would suggest that musk has taken more state handouts than any other person in history.
The anti woke crowd are insane. I have no doubt some of these people are just playing to an audience, but the fact is that the audience exists.
How do you even begin to get through to people like this?
I wouldn't say they're insane, more like misled, they've been fed the same bullshit over and over and over again until they believe it
I'm at a loss about what can be done about it, but putting people down who believe all the lies isn't the answer
this has been an on-going, multi-faceted and very well funded movement for decades (before it was woke it was something else) to get people to vote against their own interests

Gotta say, StarLink literally kept the resort up & running these past week or so. We would have been shit out of luck without it.
That said, he still is an odious cnut.

I wish the Democrats were as cool as these weirdos think they are.
I bet the Getty Images watermark is placed where it is in anticipation of the volume of photoshopping to come
those photosThis guy owns fecking Twitter, which has descended into a cesspit. It was always a bit shit and now it's the pinnacle of everything wrong with the world.
Ahhh that’s who it is
Does it not seem like a conflict of interest for the owner of a social media platform to be openly supporting and campaigning for a particular candidate? Like, I know this is likely what he has been doing all this time anyway, but with it being public like this, does that not open the door for this to be illegal somehow? A platform that is "meant to be a neutral public space" being owned by someone openly campaigning for a particular candidate.
Rupert Murdoch would disagree.
Isn't this the historical point of owning media companies? What has changed, really, if you consider it? The time spent (always latent connections) consuming media of this or that variety (and the omnipresence of analytics), but the function - to sell audiences to markets (including political markets) - has not changed.
Starry eyed recollections of the press as once free are entirely incorrect (with some exceptions - the standards have absolutely fallen across the board). It has always been a largely privately owned enterprise with private political goals (Maxwell through Murdoch to the new age of media barons which are social media conglomerates).
Has Murdoch ever been out publicly campaigning for someone? Genuinely asking because I don't know. I know that this stuff has been going on behind the scenes for a long time, it just seems weird to see it happening in the public eye. Or maybe it actually has happened out in the open and I just do not know.
He has pushed the buttons of a vast apparatus to suit his own business agenda to such an extent over decades that he does not have to appear beside this or that stooge. He just drops a bunch of koolaid about the one he has "bought" (agreed terms with..) and other koolaid against their adversaries. Same thing really.
Once again it’s the disconnect between how cool he thinks he is and how unbelievably uncool he actually is that bothers me most about this man. I really want the fascism to be the main thing. It should be the main thing. But but but…
I’m totally there with you man. Like honestly there’s so much about him that is outright harmful to the world that I should dislike the most, but that disconnect really is what bothers me the most as well

We haven’t hated nerds for being nerds since the 90s. Nerds have been socially acceptable for decades. Cool even. He’s single-handedly undoing all that progress. I can’t watch him do anything without thinking what he really needs is bringing down a peg or too by giving him a wedgie or a purple nurple.
It's a pretty crap thing to do to mock someone's appearance but Musk is one ugly looking freak. A face and physique to match the personality.
In terms of physical manifestations of vile personalities, himself and Trump make quite the double act.
He is a krelboyne.
The “last election” comment is interesting. It’s basically what the Q-Anon movement have moved onto. Q is no more. It’s all about the deep state and the end of democracy. I only found out recently that tech bros like Musk are heavily involved in funding this set of conspiracies. That bananas movie about child trafficking was made with tech money.
EDIT: Yes, I’ve been listening to the latest season of the Coming Storm podcast.

One of the most pathetic men in existence.
If you like your sanity don’t google Peter Theil
He is so fecking cringe.
I’m all over that guy. Coming Storm gets a hard recommend. It’s by the bbc and it’s great. Another brilliant podcast on similar(ish) themes with lots of Peter Theil is the NYT produced Rabbit Hole. It’s fascinating and so well made.
