I'm confused. Is he self aware?
Does he know that this is cringe, and yet posts it deliberately to increase engagement? Like a Facebook algorithm that has escaped and gained sentience, is he a demon driven to maximize user's time on app at all costs?
Or is he the proverbial egotistical billionaire, surrounded by yes-men who have helped to lodge his head so far up his own ass that he actually believes tweets like this are cool and witty?
Sadly I think it's the last one. Of course I can't read his mind, but I honestly think he is just as lame and broken as he seems.
yeah he's the richest person on the planet. the people around him are just on their knees with their mouths open hoping he'll piss out money they can lap up, so they are most certainly yes men
This goes beyond "cringe." This is pretty much a rape threat.
In what way?
Do you think she wants to be impregnated by him? Did she ask him? She has a boyfriend. She is clearly happy being childless.
It's a rape threat.
It’s a rape threat.
Again, you're making a huge logical leap that I can't follow. The fact she's probably not interested means it's a rape threat?
Yes. Telling someone you will impregnate them against their will is a rape threat, and I'm disturbed that you don't understand why.
This is someone defending musk. They probably have no idea
That’s why it logically doesn’t make sense
Maybe they don't know how babies are made?
I'm thinking more that it's a "women don't get to have consent" thing at this point based on their most recent response.
Well isn't that lovely. Must be someone who got lost and found their way off reddit by accident.
We can hope that they'll grow and learn as a human being and stop perpetuating misogynistic perspectives. For their sake and ours.
He didn't say he was going to impregnate her against her will, did he? I'm disturbed that you think this has anything to do with a rape threat. It suggests a severe lack of judgement.
Again- do you think she wants to be impregnated by him? What do you call it when you impregnate someone and they don't want you to? I'm pretty sure there's a four-letter word with that that starts with R and ends with APE.
If you're going to pretend it's an actual rape threat, you're going to have to prove:
- He intended it as a threat, not as a rude joke, or a rude proposition
- He knew it would be interpreted as a threat, not a rude joke or rude proposition
- He could reasonably carry out the threat
- She reacted in a way that indicated she felt threatened, not that she thought he was just a rude jerk
Good luck with any of that. He's a well known shitposter who makes rude jokes all the time. He almost certainly thought he was making a joke, which means it can't be considered a threat even if she felt threatened (which she didn't). She's a billionaire with a security detail and a football player as a boyfriend, so his ability to carry out any threat (if it had really been a threat) is nearly nonexistent. And, all evidence is that she just ignored him, not that she felt like she was ever in danger. You'd fail on all 4 prongs of that 4-prong test.
It's ridiculous that I'm seemingly defending an asshole like Musk, but when there are even bigger assholes out there like you, it's what has to be done. You can't just act like anything rude someone says is a rape threat. It's ridiculous, and it diminishes the suffering of people who actually are threatened with rape by lumping their suffering in with people who merely have to deal with rude things online.
I was just thinking about how had nature taken it's course and he not had his ass hair transferred to his dome how much he'd look like Dr. Evil these days.
YES
