Everything Musk says is a lie, just like his boyfriend, Trump.
Why the heck don't we just deport Musk to Texas and then secede Texas from the US?
"Secede"
What happened to Mexico?
They moved to Europe after the election.
You can't take mexico to europe, we already have Mexico in Europe.
Mexico in Europe: 🇪🇸
global warming
The blue part is obviously land
Oh I see now. It's all Mississippi
he's still rich though, he'd probably buy texas if we did that. Do you really want Musk to get his own country?
He's already doing that.
Both getting to control a country and buying Texas.
America is so fucked
Always has been. 🔫
I wish you were wrong
Same free speech Putin practices.
As long as he absolutely gets to decide which speech is free and which is very very expensive
This, exactly.
All right wingers that scream about freespeech are screaming for the same thing.
The freedom for them to say whatever they want, and the freedom to silence anyone who calls them out and proves them wrong.
I'm not good at metaphors... Does this mean he's using "X" to shield us from free speech?
That’s exactly how the image reads to me, lol.
I mean no, the shield would have to face the other way for it to be blocking free speech.
The way “FREE SPEECH” is up at the top, it looks like it’s labeling the rain going past his shield, while he is blocking the rest.
It is a good metaphor, just maybe not for the reasons he thinks
"Free speech" means "hate speech" when right-wingers say it.
That is the only thing free speech means to them. One sided uninterrupted and unchallenged propaganda.
Fuckhead lies just like his orange catdaddy
At this rate, social media companies will start censoring Luigi images like China does Winnie the Pooh.
Elon, go back to Africa.
Fascist Henry Ford mk.2
So... Henry Ford 2.0.
Yes but this one is also completely brain dead.
Ketamine is a helluva drug...

Unless the speech is "shooting CEOs is OK."
Musk is just another dipshit authoritarian, who thinks "speech" is reserved for people that matter (billionaires). He'll sue the ass off of anyone else whos speech he doesn’t like.
Elon is busy turning X back into an echo chamber, except the pendulum has swung to the other side. It's a shame people find such solace in echo chambers -- intellectualism does not progress if you only speak with people you agree with. Indeed, it narrows conversation and thought so much it just turns into a circle jerk.
Guess what? The real world is nasty and dirty and you are never going to agree with everyone. A preschool isn't as safe a space as what Elon wants to (re)create.
I like the balance we've found on Lemmy. We can discuss some pretty conservative ideas, but there's zero intellectual value to transphobia or any other hate speech. People shouldn't be required to re-explain their right to exist every generation.
Is he seriously posting cringe like this?
My guy he posted about being banned from PoE2, a mostly PvE game, for cheating. Literal man child that cannot beat AI enemies.
it shouldn’t be too surprising that he cheats in online games given that he cheats in pretty much every other aspect of his life as well

He's posted way weirder stuff than this.
I mean the Taylor Swift thing where he said he'd have her babies and protect her cats was pretty bad and I swear that isn't even close to the worst.
However, I'm not on X though so I don't have to look at the weirdness.
Yikes, elon makes me feel normal holy shit.
