We all know the logical conclusion here is that elon is going to get the nuclear codes. He'll then hold the entire world hostage saying...

"I'm going to do a very cool dance soon. This is a dance that will make everyone want to be BEST friends with me and say, you are the coolest person I know, El-Man! Which is the nickname they'll give me and I'll have jackets made that say it. So I'm going to do this dance on television, I'm going to buy all of the networks that there are and air it simultaneously. Now, if I hear anyone laugh at the dance, which is serious and cool, or post something making fun of this dance on social media (which will again be a very cool dance) then I will incinerate the entire world in a thermonuclear holocaust, a world that mostly consists of my own children and ex wives because honey badger don't care - I'm rick bickh!!!"

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?

They moved to Europe after the election.

Mexico in Europe: 🇪🇸

he's still rich though, he'd probably buy texas if we did that. Do you really want Musk to get his own country?

[–] chiliedogg 14 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

He's already doing that.

Both getting to control a country and buying Texas.

I'm not good at metaphors... Does this mean he's using "X" to shield us from free speech?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

That’s exactly how the image reads to me, lol.

[–] Lowpast 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I mean no, the shield would have to face the other way for it to be blocking free speech.

It is a good metaphor, just maybe not for the reasons he thinks

[–] [email protected] 23 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

As long as he absolutely gets to decide which speech is free and which is very very expensive

[–] A_Random_Idiot 14 points 23 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"Free speech" means "hate speech" when right-wingers say it.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

That is the only thing free speech means to them. One sided uninterrupted and unchallenged propaganda.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 20 hours ago

Same free speech Putin practices.

Fuckhead lies just like his orange catdaddy

At this rate, social media companies will start censoring Luigi images like China does Winnie the Pooh.

[–] hOrni 172 points 1 day ago (9 children)

Is he seriously posting cringe like this?

[–] [email protected] 112 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (9 children)

My guy he posted about being banned from PoE2, a mostly PvE game, for cheating. Literal man child that cannot beat AI enemies.

[–] affiliate 39 points 1 day ago

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

The richest man on this planet. What the fuck are we doing

In the context of this movie, Musk is Theron, forcing himself on the wife of the protagonist and taking all the gold.

If by “Free speech absolutist”, he means, “big fat fucking liar”, then I agree with his stupid fat ass.

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.

Would be funny if chemists couldn't talk about cis and trans isomerisms anymore

[–] Furbag 4 points 20 hours ago

Historians: "So during the Roman occupation of Cisalpine Gaul..."

X: "Cis alpine? What is this woke shit? You're banned!"

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I kinda hate how they want free speech but when someone they oppose says something that's also considered free speech yep it's blocked.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName 40 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

It's always free speech for me, not for you, and my free speech is the hateful kind, but it's not hateful, you're just woke for saying it is.
