Racismed

Yeah so somebody grew up in a racist household that prioritized Protestant ideals about work and success. And then that person moved to Silicon Valley with Daddy's money and worked there during its bommiest years. Then went on to pump money into electric cars and rockets.
This all came to a screeching halt during Covid when all of a sudden, he had to not prioritize profits and success but rather the health and safety of his employees and others.
This sent him down a rabbit hole on Twitter where suddenly he felt accepted by all the Trump crowd. Now he's stuck there and slides further right each day.
This guy is now the wealthiest person on the planet.
Fuck Elon.
- Perfect summary

The fuck is he on about?
- He thinks saying, I am cisgendered, is hate speech.
  He literally wrote other- isms ... Criticism, I guess. He is an idiot.
  
  That's become a whole rallying call for queerphobia lately. They also have beef with the words diversity, equity, and inclusion? I don't even fucking know they can't make their thoughts coherent and they don't even bother trying.
- The fuck is he on ~~about~~?
  
  Money. Too much of it. We should help him, take away most of that money. That'll cure him.
  
  He gets high from huffing his own farts.
  
  Things he knows nothing the fuck about. As per usual.
  
  Seriously the fuck is he on about?
- He's crying "reverse racism!"
- Hey, that's my line.

I genuinely can't tell if the comic was added by somebody else to mock Musk's tweet, or if Musk is such a narcissistic prick with zero self awareness that he ""ironically" added this comic as part of his fellow-kids memelord act.
Truth is stranger than fiction.
- There's a simple litmus test. Musk would never joke about himself in a self-deprecating way, in any capacity. He has such a fragile ego it would break if someone farted in his general direction.
  
  His mother was a hamster

Just when I think I couldn't hate him anymore, he omits the Oxford comma...
- Did you just grammerism him?
- Don't make me quote the 2008 hit single Oxford Comma by Vampire Weekend
  
  One of my favourite songs, but I am still an advocate for the Oxford Comma.
- I didn't notice until you mentioned it. The monster
- smh he is racist, overconfident, and uneducated

My brain hurts from reading anything spewd out by than manbabie.

War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
- France is bacon
  
  SIR France is bacon!
- For real. Diversity could easily be considered antithetical to racism. Inclusion could be considered antithetical to sexism. But no, Chef Elon made pseudo-intellectual word salad.
  But, "Worlds grossly richest man not big on equity" feels like an Onion article title.
  
  Also, "woke" more or less means "enlightened," so "anti-woke" is pretty much "ignorance is strength."
  
  Could be, but like countries that use the words "Democratic" and/or "People's" in their names, just because you call something by a word doesn't necessarily mean that word is accurate.
  Often "diversity, inclusion and equity" in practice means doing things that would rightly be called out as sexist and racist but targeting the "right" sex and/or race.
- I thought this at first as well. But then I thought he probably is that dislodged from reality that he genuinely thinks he's discriminated against when people mention equity and stuff like that because he's the antagonist of equity.
  If everyone in the world is at least not poor and comfortable it means a lot less wealth for him; a big No No for PeElon.
  
  "When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."
- honestly what I hate the most about those quotes is that every one of those slogans actually have a quite clear meaning , especially within the context of the book .
  
  I find myself saying "We are the dead" quite a lot when something reality bending occurs (you know, like Elon opening his pie hole), because that's how it feels.

They've captured his weird lumpy face beautifully.
- The my pillow of faces.

When you remember he got his starting wealth from an apartheid emerald mine in South Africa, this behavior makes perfect sense.

I’m generally sick of hearing about Elon at all even if it’s criticizing him, but this was a good one.
The vanity is off the charts.

When you make fun or point out the obvious flaws of the oppressor, it's not "-ism", it's freedom
- They would not even understand, they practice narciss-ism even more often than rac-ism.
  Also, talking about inclusivity, this is a (probably not fully exhaustive) list of all the "-ism"s. That is how much of an ignorant cretin people using this neologism are.

Sadly, a professor I used to respect is following similar bullshit ideologies. Climate denialism, veiled racism, and bigotry. Once he moved out of California into a much more red area, he plummeted.
- When I was younger I assumed I was surrounded by differing opinions. Now it feels more like I'm surrounded by idiots.
  
  Turns out there's only one actual reality.

It's not racism when you, a single person, are hated. Its people telling the truth about you.

I'm reminded of Bender:
"This isn't even about you"
"That's impossible!"

Needs more snowflake.

Bet a board member tried to explain to him what DEI is two minutes before he Xat this Xeet.
Muskrat’s diversity plan is “exploit Indians who rely on Xitter visa sponsorship”
- He's not racist, he'd use visas to hold employees of any race ransom.
- I propose an alternative nominative singular: Xit. He Xat this Xit on Xitter...
  
  That sounds confusingly like something that someone would use to mock the current leader of China tho
- He Xits like an eight-year-old whose little sister gets more certificates than him.

The lion, the witch and the audacity of this bitch
(in 4 bitch as a gender neutral way of saying whining child while doing a rhyme)
- Speaking of bitches. I much prefer them to dogs - better temprement, smell better and no undercarage for you to accidentally brush/knock when rubbing their belly.
  
  Thats so specific

I am very confused. Is that a comic he had made about himself? I wouldn't be entirely surprised...
- Yeah, I wish this post was presented more clearly.

He's ok with racism and sexism, so dei is good, right?
- Always do the opposite of what Elon does, is my rule of life.

Can't stop thinking about the guy that replies to every one of his posts, asking to have lunch with him and give him a job.
Dude's been doing that shit for years.
- It's probably a bot.

In weird posts like this, the answer is always drugs, alcohol, and mental illness, or some combination of those three.
With his level of fame, wealth, and power, it's also possible he is a blackmail victim.
- drugs, alcohol, and mental illness,
  I've had/have all 3 of those an I'm still not a cunt like Elon.
  
  The missing factor is perhaps free money given to you by your parents?
  
  Yeah but are you also Seeth Eefrican
  
  You need a team of drug-fueled yes men to approve of your halfwitted drug-fueled ideas.
  Honestly the psychology of Musk is fascinating. I wish we could ethically clone him and just have a team of psychologists tear the clone apart and write a chart-busting non-fiction on his brain. And then dump the clone in a volcano because we don’t need more of that. And dumping the clone in the volcano becomes the biggest pay-per-view event of the decade.
- I don't think that is possible. He has unimaginable power because of his wealth. If someone tried to blackmail him, he would destroy them.
  
  We can safely say it's one of the first 3 then.

The caucasity of this bish...

It's weird that this clearly started as accusations-in-a-mirror and then it just became true. Like life mimics memes

Smartest billionaire BTW
