Oh Elon
Oh Elon
Oh Elon
It saddens me a little when I see people that I like still using the bird corpse. Harry is empowering Elon by burning him.
At least he didn't buy the checkmark
Yeah the only way to kill a troll is to... just stop talking to/about them. They feed off the negativity of others - Elon likes it when people increase the stock price of his company, and allow him to sell the userbase to advertising firms, so every single word of this just makes the Musk all that much stronger. Every. Single. Word.
This only works if everybody follows that rule.
In real life, some of this shit gain critical mass, and afterward, ignoring it would give it even more platform by leaving it uncontested.
First off, Elon isn't the guy who goes on Lemmy repeating clichés he's heard and accepted as fact without ever questioning.. is it even true? Or applicable? Sorry, but I think I'll go with Mark Twain and Voltaire on this one: the best way to deal with a narcissist is to let the air out of their ego and slam them with satire, exposing them for the idiots they actually are.
Elon isn't going to disappear just because you dare not speak his name. He's far too busy blowing up billions of dollars of taxpayer money while his mindless fanboys gargle musk and cheer.
Everyone should be calling him Leon
Leon Skum
I prefer Melon Husk.
Hey that is my name, it doesnt have to be associated with the idiot Elon.
Unpopular opinion, but making fun of people’s name is the lowest form of criticism. It just comes across as a bit juvenile and pathetic, like you’re making fun of a kid in a classroom. Elon Musk is an extreme far right nazi sympathising piece of shit, calling him stupid names just kind of trivialises that, imho.
It's a double edged sword.
He really is a stupid motherfucker
I just watched Glass Onion and when Benoit Blanc announced frustrated that Miles Bron, the billionaire in the movie, is not some cryptic genius but rather an overrated idiot, I strongly felt that he must've been inspired by Elon Musk.
To be fair he didn't want to
TBF again, he probably could have sold it again and not lost himself and other investors so much money. He still has a hero complex, it is part of his stupidity.
I mean, he couldhave sold it......but he bought it for 43 BILLION dollars.
Prior to the sale, twitter was losing money. It had never been profitable. And it was NEVER worth 43 BILLION dollars.
Sure, he could sell it for 30 million dollars, but what sense does that make?
The fact of it is, he'll likely never recover the costs he paid, because of the stupid high price he paid for a never profitable company.
The part that baffles me is......why haven't the userbase flooded outwards? If you're on twitter today, and you're not on bluesky/mastodon, you have nooooooooo right to complain that musk is supporting a facist agenda.
He is. I'm not denying that. I'm just saying twitter users have no right to complain about it, because they enable it.
Sell the website to who? Aquaman?
What!? He was forced to be responsible for his words? /s
I can't remember, exactly, but didn't he start the process and then try and back out of it?
Yes he sent a damn signed contract.
His act kinda resembles a guy who would have had a burnout, but keeps going with amphetamine. Not sleeping at nights, unable to concentrate, arbitrary snap decisions, slowly loosing sanity, illusions of grandeur, common ideological ground with Trump, etc. Decade of that and he'll be Trump.
I can hear hbombers voice lol
SELL X TO WHO?
I bid 1 dollar.
FUCKING ZUCKERBERG
I bet he really thinks "i am not one of those that want power, i have and always had power".
He sees himself on a much much higher level of existence, than we mere lemmings...
At least, that's my impression.

Common Harry W
Yet another quality self own.
Are these guys referencing something specific or is this just general?
Only the "you made the sandwich" meme I think
Right, gotcha. Ty
Loneskum
Ain't this guy pro Trump? I'm starting to think Elon might be some sort of idiot...
And I'm not even sure if he qualifies as a useful idiot...
Nope. Just the regular kind.
Burning down Twitter has definitely been useful.
Chaotic evil
Elon still thinks of himself as a disaffected youth because it was probably the only time in his life he ever had any friends. Surrounded by sycophants they just reinforce what ever elon thinks cause they don't give a shit about him only that their checks get signed.
You think he really had friends?!?
He is the quintessential elitist who has never had real struggles, nor had any really meaningful life experiences.
Wow you captured the tone and delivery of one of those fucking idiots perfectly!
Actual fascist Trump voter, admits it in other comments, let the racist idiot have it lemmy! @where_am_i@sh.itjust.works
You seem as confused as your username
ROFL! Do people actually believe this BS?
Lmao, if you actually believe all this you are an idiot
