Jon will even give elon the benefit of the doubt if you listen to the weekly podcast. What a joke.

"He's too set in his ways"

That's because reality tends to have a strong left wing bias.

[–] Evotech 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah, Elon is not set in his ways.

Elon and his ilk are not just vile and revolting but also pitiful. For all his riches and power, I would hate to be him. What a sad sack of shit.

[–] CitizenKong 21 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It's painfully obvious that for all his riches he's just very lonely and desperate for attention. None of his kids that can make conscious decisions want to be near him and he has alienated every woman he has been with.

The fact that he was basically just hanging around Mar-a-Lago also speaks to this. Trump is also a vile asshole, but he has a family at least (even if they are just as terrible as he is and probably only spent time with him to gain influence and/or money). Musk tried to slither into this family as some sort of weird uncle figure.

Proof Elon is a thick cunt:

"Too set in his ways"

Immediately after

"He has changed"

[–] BugKilla 7 points 2 days ago

Elon has neither the warmth nor depth of such a lovely piece of anatomy. He's more like a thick, fully prolapsed, flaccid, "gaping like a wizard's sleeve", anus.

[–] BradleyUffner 29 points 2 days ago (2 children)

So which one is it? Too set in his ways, or he's changed? Cause those are mutually exclusive. Or perhaps the 3rd option; you're too much of a coward, needed to think up a quick excuse, panicked, and came up with something that doesn't make sense. I'm going with the 3rd choice.

I read that as an admission that the republicans just got so crazy that Jon, who is set in his way, can no longer be considered bipartisan.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

What ever nonsense deflection he needs at any given moment in order to never face criticism.

The trumpian way.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

source? I want to see elon cry

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It's in the comments..if you just want to see elon weep look up the video of buzz aldrin hating on him.

"Oh, no! Someone with something to say."

[–] shalafi 20 points 2 days ago

Stewart's damned fair with conservatives. Yeah, he pokes fun, but he asks questions and listens to the answers.

[–] Xanthobilly 14 points 2 days ago

These screenshots give me no timeframe of reference. Was this before or after he recently accepted to go on?

It's fun how the algorithm has flipped it to musk makes don lemon cry. Crazy times we live in.

[–] friend_of_satan 22 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

For the richest man in the world, he sure is fucking sensitive. Heaven forbid somebody give him some pointed questions.

Edit: he's acting like somebody interviewing for a job they know they're not qualified for and they know they're failing.

[–] PunnyName 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The comments in that video are pure fucking cancer.

[–] baldingpudenda 4 points 2 days ago

2 words and a number bots just repeating the same 3 comments word for word. Lmao.

[–] someguy3 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Do we have a timestamp?

algorithm has flipped

Yeah that's all I could find short of the whole hour.

[–] friend_of_satan 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Towards the end, around 1h, Elon is visibly upset and seems like he's having a difficult emotional time. Questions like "what is a woke mind virus?" and "if you're the CEO how can you blame other people for killing the company? Doesn't the buck stop with you?"

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Listening to elon speak about, "preventing societal collapse" makes me very worried. First, no one bothers to ask elon why he thinks he should take on such a monumental task on his own? Second, it's great you spend the time to think about things but just because you are afforded the opportunity to shape the future for people what makes you think youre equipped to do it?

[–] asteriskeverything 4 points 2 days ago

I had to stop listening and comment: elon said "x platform, formerly twitter" bahahaha

[–] rational_lib 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

When? When was he more bipartisan?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I want that Doraemon Plushie :3

[–] riodoro1 -1 points 2 days ago

What the fuck is this a screenshot of? Twitter post with a screenshot of reddit post with a screenshot of twitter?

I can’t even comprehend shitting on musk using twitter, are these people disabled?
