There's still hope, maybe "Russian Bots stole the election for Trump" is right around the corner and your day of vindication will come?

I really didn't know much about Musk or really care either way for him before this whole twitter fiasco.

He really is a piece of human garbage isn't he?

He's telling you who he is.

His family made their fortune profiteering off Apartheid, he's not just some quirky 'World Saving' Electric Car Magnate.

And honestly, after going through 2021 and most of 2022 people who still want to 'Prosecute Fauci' should show up his door so he can smash them in the face or testicles with a baseball bat.

Because these idiots have learned nothing.

Sure. If you need humans in a manufacturing environment that’s sensible. Is it because people in that situation can’t wfh that nobody should? I don’t see a reason to conflate the two vastly different types of work.

Damned straight! Thats the Muskovite way!

Crappy cars, crappy payment systems, crappy rockets, crappy internet and now crappy free speech.

If you're going to screw things up you may as well screw up all the things while you're at it.

But dont forget to channel the 'Inner Donald' and be sure to remind everyone how you're not screwing things up, you're doing awesome and all things you touch are awesome and if anyone believes otherwise they are clearly not hot awesome like Musk.

It's all about the hype and eyeballs. For some people, that's enough to get them to buy his product/services. Maybe they think that buying his #### puts them in the same sphere(s) as Musk.

Not at all, I was just pointing out it wasn't surprising that Elon was pissed off about clojures/WFH orders. I'm sure he wanted his factory full of "hardcore" sick people working 14 hours shifts and dropping dead of COVID for the cause.

Maybe this was all just Elon desperately trying to find a market for the Cybertruck.

Apparently Dave Chappelle invited Elon on stage last night and he got booed mercilessly. To the point Dave got all pissy and decided to end the show early because he was mad. There’s video of the event but I have not seen it.

Naturally Elon banned the guy who posted it to twitter.

Both pieces of ####. Not surprised they’re friends.

From a platform Elon (presumably) can't get it blocked.

All these ultra anti-woke people have seemingly crossed over the line where the normies side with them. They've become just as fanatical as the ultra woke they complain about.

The anti-pronoun people are surpassing the pronoun people in annoyingness to the normals.

Basically the same gist as guy complaining at the passport office or whatever. We all hate the long time we have to wait... but if some guy goes on a 10 minute rant to the clerk about it while we all sit in line - we hate him more.

More fanatical than the “ultra woke” I’d argue, as I think that they only exist in the minds of these people (like Joe Rogan making up the litter box story) or in such an unnoticeable minority that they’re not worth mentioning (as opposed to these idiots that are loud and everywhere).

Most annoying is the tiredness of the joke. I think the joke jumped the shark in like 2020 and these people are still using the same old meme to get cheap laughs off hapless idiots. You can tell just how infantile Elon’s mind is when it comes to social interaction. It makes sense why he can’t keep a girlfriend and is obsessed with his mother.

Honestly I don't get the Chappelle hype since his comeback. It's more of a soapbox than a standup set, that's not my style of comedian.
