It did finally click why Taylor used a pic of her and her cat tho....

Like I knew the "childless cat lady" shit blew up in their face, but it never landed that Taylor is a childless cat lady, and for better or worse she's someone a shit ton of women love.

She did also literally sign her endorsement as "childless cat lady."

She also said the only reason she isn't being politically neutral like she typically does is because Trump posted AI pictures of her claiming she supports right-wing policies. She's now encouraging her massive fan base of young women to vote, a group that probably would have been apathetic beforehand. That's another massive unforced error for the Trump campaign.

At least we got this gem of a reply.

Best thing she could do is publicly disavow twitter for that and move her business elsewhere.

I'm sure his kids would volunteer, hunger games style, to be Taylor swift new adopted child.

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.

This goes beyond "cringe." This is pretty much a rape threat.

I hope her response is just "Ew. No."

Though its more likely she'll just ignore him.

[–] dvlsg 46 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ignoring is the best move.

But a one-word "Weird." response would be entertaining.

This is a step beyond sexual harassment. It’s viscerally disgusting.

"How about you take care of the children you already have for a change and keep at least 500 yards of distance to me forever?"

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 week ago

Well he's got plenty of kids he doesn't want

I wish she would leave x and takes her followers with her, that would hurt that platform the most

Fucking gross, Elon.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe 34 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He’s such an asshole. And what’s worse, if he’s called out for being such an asshole, it only encourages him to keep doing it.

True signs of a sociopath.

Looking at this for a while a few things come to mind:

  1. There's a likely chance theyve met in person before (as billionaires)
  2. If he wanted to get any direct message to her it'd be a snap
  3. His ego is so big he can't imagine that any woman wouldn't be enthralled by him, surely any who act repulsed are simply acting.
  4. This post is not for her reaction at all, but for his fans to hype him up with reassuring tweets(?) of "he got her!"

All I can imagine now is that in some past meeting he being as cringey as possible brought up them having a child would have had brains and her looks. She laughs awkwardly and leaves as quickly as possible.

I just don't understand how he thought this was something he should put on a public forum.

Maybe a snide/sarcastic remark along friends, sure.... It's still not in good taste, but at least it's contained to people you should trust.

But.... On Twitter?

Why?

Making rude/inappropriate comments, however, is very on-brand for Elon.

I keep waiting for this guy to be knocked down a peg and it never really ends up happening. The only time he seemed genuinely embarrassed was when he had to back out of that Zuckerberg fight.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

There's that time he was forced to buy Twitter

This is good basis for a sexual harassment lawsuit, right?

That's really weird.

He needs sexual harassment panda to explain it again.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Does he mean what I think he means or is he saying he will buy her a child cause that’s how he thinks money works?

Or does he mean he will give one of his children?

There is no good implication.

[–] Thrashy 26 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Given how many women he's knocked up, and the way he talks about it, I'm about 95% sure he's got a breeding kink that he's using his fame and money to act it out in real life. 🤮
