Donald Trump’s debate fail appears to have short-circuited the brain of one of his biggest cheerleaders. Elon Musk remained silent while Trump was blowing his first debate with Kamala Harris but issued a bizarre response to Taylor Swift endorsing Harris at the end of the night.

Creepy and weird AF you mean

I'd have lawyers working full time and a restraining order put on him if I was Swift. That shit is fucking creepy.

[-] kofe@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Honestly. I feel awful wondering if she'll have an increase of credible threats, cuz she's had stalkers for years I'm sure, but detangling whether it's because she just made the endorsement or if Musk inflamed it would be difficult to prove. Can his one message be taken as a threat on its own, though? It's creepy, but unless he's slid in her dms prior to this I don't think there's a case for anything.

You all are missing the point. It has nothing to do with actually wanting to date/impregnate her. He is so insanely jealous of her and the fact she doesn't have to be a complete edgy tool or buy a whole platform to make people listen to her like he does. It's about taking all of her accomplishments, her fame, her fortune, her following, her talent and negating it by debasing her into nothing but a womb that would jump at the chance to have that human cheesecloth on top of her.

[-] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Why do you hate cheesecloths? They are useful.

Weird, very weird. Not demure, not mindful.

[-] L0rdMathias@sh.itjust.works 36 points 2 months ago

Bru WHAT they've been trying to saying demure this whole time!? I've heard people pronouncing it as "dimir" this whole time and have been thoroughly confused why everyone on the internet suddenly started referencing random ass magic the gathering lore for the latest slang.

Thank you for typing it out and showing me the way to the truth.

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Have you not seen how crazy MTG is lately? Jewish space lasers and the gazpacho? Seems on brand.

[-] heavyboots@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

Hahaha, you're welcome!

In case y’all didn’t know, he already has 12 kids… so this might be a credible threat.

[-] Daxtron2@startrek.website 45 points 2 months ago

12 kids that he claims. There's probably several rape babies out there too

I feel like it's pretty obvious now that his desire to start a Mars colony is purely an extension of his eugenics tinged breeding kink

[-] quicklime@lemm.ee 66 points 2 months ago

Every single day I get a yucky feeling when I remember that people are still using his garbage website/app/platform.

[-] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 2 months ago

Kinda glad Taylor didn't post her announcement on Twitter.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 56 points 2 months ago

A bad try at distraction? Also how he handled his daughter... Uuh I guess nobody should EVER be "impregnated" by this asshole.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago

fortunately, isn't common to get impregnated by the asshole

Swift is too smart for him. She knows he's an immigrant and just wants to get into her place so he can eat her cats.

[-] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago

a vile human.

[-] JuBe@lemmy.world 34 points 2 months ago

Leon Musk is weird.

[-] nkat2112@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 months ago

That Space Karen is so weird. Very creepy.

[-] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 months ago

At the first read, I assumed he would buy and gift a child and I can't decide if that's better or worse.

Ketamine is a hell of a drug.

[-] Peruvian_Skies@sh.itjust.works 51 points 2 months ago

Ketamine does a lot of good for a lot of people. Don't knock on a genuinely life-saving medicine just because Elmo can't handle his drugs.

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 19 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

There was no knock, ketamine, is a hell of a drug

Damn are Republicans so creepily weird.

[-] notsure@fedia.io 22 points 2 months ago

...are you sure "onion" staff have not invaded?

[-] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

Just republican shit.

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

I hope she moves to another platform and takes her peeps with her.

Leon is a conservative dipshit running a glorified message board for other conservative dipshits.

What's weirdest to me is that he said this about another billionaire. Like it's not any grosser, it's just so... Uncharacteristic of high society?

Like he's the wealthiest man on Earth and he says this about Taylor Swift?

Shows you that money can't bring you anywhere close to happiness I guess.

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 16 points 2 months ago

i would love to see the cagefight of kelce vs musk.. can it be to the death? i feel like that would be a nice finisher

Travis Kelce may have something to say about that Elmo.

It's strange but also on brand for him.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Dumbass wouldnt get within 50 feet of her before her security beat him into the ground

[-] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago

He said "I will," not "I would" or "I will if you want." He is saying he will act regardless of consent. That's not an offer, it's a threat. Calling it an offer is disinformation.

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 months ago

Did the Kennedy brainworms spread successfully?

[-] SimplyChad@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Ah, yes, another completely normal, well-adjusted statement by the man himself.

[-] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

I think the fear that their children might end up like Elon is the thing persuading many people not to have kids to he first place.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 6 points 2 months ago

Just think. There's a parallel universe somewhere, where six years ago he just congratulated that diver for rescuing those kids, accepted that his robot needed some work to be useful, and just expressed relief that they'd been bought out alive.

And we're stuck in this fucking one.

Good. Keep going with the weirdo shit after JD Vance shit the post-debate bed. I'm sure this will really help boost Trump in the polls.
