Thanks. A handy verse to throw in the face of those who claim to be Christians.
Is Elon a Christian?
Not that I'm aware of, but a lot of his new followers are.
You think the Secret Service got the joke?
I wouldn’t be surprised if he got a visit. Any of the rest of us might have for statements like that.
I think you have answered your own question.
Slash he surrounded himself with people absolutely willing to step on one another to gain power and wealth so of course they're going to laugh at all of his "jokes"
probably one of the lawyers told him to cool it.
He's incredibly paranoid and conspiracy minded. He probably realized after "just asking questions / joking" that "they" might send a few of these guys for him next! 2spooky4him
Lol at "the context". Bitch, WHAT context would make it any better?
I’m sure the yes men he surrounds himself with was “the context”.
Being in a room full of nazis would make that "joke" a total thigh-slapper.
And being surrounded by yes men. And by right wing nutjobs.
Turns out some things simply aren't funny. Not posting a thought right when it comes to your head also helps.
I can just see him making his “joke” then doing that annoying over the top laugh with all his sycophants grinning along.
Lots of regular people know thats its risky to send a sarcastic text
Sometimes I'm feeling bold and leave out the /s. You gotta keep it spicy.
