Tech billionaire realises that saying things on the internet can be taken differently than expected... in 2024. Is this guy a complete moron?
Signs point to yes.
Is this guy a complete moron?
I hope it's a rhetorical question and you didn't just now realize it.
Yes, actually.
Revoke his security clearance you cowards.
He controls SpaceX and the internet over Ukraine.
We need to take those, too.
SpaceX and American allies' Internet access could be considered to be of national importance
Ah, right, the thing that would get normal people put on a list and held in custody if the president traveled through their region just gets the Muskrat "probed"
Giggity
He also controls the satellites used for communication on battlefields and has already turned them off unilaterally during an important Ukrainian operation in the Black Sea.
He can run Twitter and Tesla into the ground, but SpaceX needs to be nationalized. Its compromise is a national security threat.
Is he e getting Russian money? Did he just promote the assassination of the American president? I'm just asking questions.
Doubt it. There are no hard indications that he's a russian asset. He's just an asshat.
Yes, but according to Russian asset, serial killer and couch fucker JD Vance, you can make up any lie about anyone you want as long as you are making a point.
I still don't understand how anyone here (or on the internet in general, for that matter) is still asking "Is Elon stupid? Is he a moron?" in response to stuff like this.
Elon's a jackass, but he clearly knows what he's doing with this. He's inciting political violence and then acting like it was an edgy joke as a way to give himself probable deniability. Dude's an asshole, but he's not literally brain dead.
This is what he was doing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_no_one_rid_me_of_this_turbulent_priest%3F
Wow, I'd never heard of this before! Interesting, thanks.
It's all everyone talked about sitting Trump's reign especially about how he talked about Mueller
You're so nice about it. Let's be real. He's a Narcissistic predator with too many means to destroy humanity itself and his motivation to do exactly that is transparent, claimed even.
Why? He's Rich? It's ok?
Hey Grok, what's a good recipe for cooking rich people?
It's best to start with fresh materials so you're going to want to dress them shortly before preparation.
That should go well, since the Secret Service are renowned for having a good sense of humour about this sort of thing.
OTOH they did delete all those Jan 06 text messages so I no longer regard them as objective in the performance of their duties.
Where’s all that left wing rhetoric inciting violence?
What a giant pussy Trump and Vance are.
Talk about leopards eating your face. This is the leopard eating its own face. This is the violent rhetoric you dumbass motherfuckers.
Here.
I hope they don't miss next time.
Same. People who say "you can never condone assassination attempts" are idiots. We make movies about people who tried to kill future dictators.
Imagine looking at Dollar Tree Hitler and not thinking that the world would be better without him. I’m not “condoning” violence, but I fucking get it.
“We tried to kill Hitler” is basically it’s own genre; let’s not act like those actions don’t have merit on the eyes of a larger population than many people think.
It'd be so cool if it was found out that Musk was an illegal immigrant and he got deported back to south africa.
“One lesson I’ve learned is that just because I say something to a group and they laugh doesn’t mean it’s going to be all that hilarious as a post on X,” Musk wrote after deleting the tweet.
“Turns out that jokes are way less funny if people don't know the context and the delivery is in plain text"
Wrong lesson learned Elon, people who laugh at your joke are ass lickers whereas people on X are not
I sort of feel like the CIA should already have a file on him filed to the brim with juicy nuggets they haven't really been able to act on until now.
Explain the joke Leon. What’s the punchline?
It’s a straight up threat / stochastic terrorism from the richest guy in the world. The same guy who has a security team follow him around and whines about people tracking his jet as aSsAsSiNaTiOn CoOrDiNaTeS. And treats the poor and homeless that his exploitation and greed creates as “drug zombies” while he’s constantly on ketamine and other drugs.
the use of mass communications to stir up random lone wolves to carry out violent or terrorist acts that are statistically predictable but individually unpredictable
(Saved you a click)
I wish I too could know if I've ever been probed by the secret service or some other government agency. I've made some risky jokes on reddit before.
What exactly are they probing? It took me 5 seconds to read the tweet.
