elon is a huge piece of shit

also might want to stop using this website :(

Transphobiaapparently PinkNews is going to stop covering trans stuff because they want money

[โ€“] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 45 points 2 months ago

I didn't see the specific source until you pointed that out. Noted and will do!

very funny to me that the act of following or unfollowing someone on social media does so much heavy lifting for celebrities

my-hero voluntarily began the great work of demolishing his once-unassailable PR by getting addicted to social media and showing his ass over and over again. Critical support for Twitter for facilitating that process.

[โ€“] Cammy@hexbear.net 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Do not, my friends, become addicted to social media...

Kamala as a shitty Furiosa when? Also I'm gonna go look for some Immortan Joe Biden memes. Wish me (good or bad) luck.

I do wonder who the hell keeps track of this thing. I hope there are 3rd party tools you can use to notify you when someone does that, because checking every day if melon-musk follows someone or not sounds like my kind of hell.

Not his daughter anymore, his kids have disowned his ass agony-yehaw

[โ€“] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 33 points 2 months ago (2 children)

He's a (somewhat) secular "Quiverfull" douche-dad, complete with being neglectful and abusive to his quantity-focused offspring, resulting in many of them abandoning his bullshit the moment they had a chance to do so.

And their lives are better for it.

[โ€“] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 35 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I wish it was more apparent and obvious to more people that when someone is the richest man in the world and so many of his offspring want nothing to do with him the moment they find a way out, family luxury and inheritance be damned, that's a massive fucking indicator of what a monster he is and always was.

The "he's just like Tony Stark from my treats!" Schtick lasted far too long

Damn right it did, and I hated it from the start. I'm just bittersweetly relieved that he's managed to gradually destroy his own once-unassailable public image, one hubris-laden narcissistic tantrum after another.

[โ€“] Cowbee@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Unfortunately, I was a LIB when that was at its peak... I cringe looking back at how awful my views were kitty-birthday-sad

[โ€“] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I was a credulous bazinga brained "futurologist" myself, and even believed in the Singularity(tm). I am grateful that when I started to lose faith in the cult and walked away that my-hero was only starting to become DAE LE EPIC REAL LIFE TONY STARK in pop culture so I never actually prayed at his altars.

[โ€“] Cowbee@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm sure libs of today will look back on their views now and cringe as well. It's the cycle of life shrug-outta-hecks

Some will, surely, but many won't, increasingly so as Capitalism and Imperialism decay.

Hey at least you're cool enough that you can admit it here, comrade. And at least you didn't buy into his worse scams.

Yep, I'm happy I got off the bazinga train years ago, but I still wince looking back, haha. Thanks! Care-Comrade

I remember customizing a dream te$la on my work computer almost a decade ago. Imagine being someone who invested money into his company and believing he would colonize mars.

Captures the energy of much more benign dreams of transitioning to a spacefaring species and turns it into grift. thurston

His narcissism is like a black hole that warps the discourse of space itself.

Bittersweetly, I feel it would have been worse if he actually was some kind of actual genius bazinga that magically invented the means to bring late stage capitalism into space. If intelligent life was found out there, imagine the atrocities he'd want get off to. It'd be worse than Avatar Na'vi extermination "Humanity Fuck Yeah" greentext. frothingfash

It's like somebody took all the badly written sci-fi narcissists, removed the charisma and intelligence, and dumped the leftover stat points into a breeding fetish.

And after all of that was done, some Apartheid prince looked the combination over for a few seconds then said "!! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚ " before adopting that identity because it was so based.

[โ€“] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: โ€œTwo vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: โ€˜My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!โ€™ Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away. Then I said EPICALLY MEMED, E~L~O~N so-true

I'd hate to be one of the explorers going through the wreckage of the fallen US who retrieves an intact hard drive only to find Doge Coins within.

But at least they get to see the ruins

[โ€“] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Those ruins are probably going to be pretty horrifying, and not in a fun horror way. epsteingelion

[โ€“] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

The neoliberal era will leave disproportionately few physical ruins due to the focus on cost-engineered infrastructure, designed to fail. Fittingly, our garbage will become among the best-preserved relics of our time. This happens eventually to all societies, but it will happen on a much faster time scale for ours thanks to our disposable culture.

Honestly how the fuck did any of these women become charmed enough to sleep with him?

[โ€“] sneak100@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I've heard he pays quite a lot per child. Like 10 mil or something iirc

[โ€“] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

euugghhh fuck, that's a hard choice honestly. fucking hellworld.

like 10 mil is a nice retirement fund but having to have sex with that freak and birthing his child cringe

Also, that's not 'his' fucking daughter. Never was, because he couldn't ever accept that daughter for who she was in the first place, and has been self-destructing even faster than before because of his ongoing transphobic tantrum. olimar-point billionaire-tears farquaad-point

He really is a billionaire deadbeat dad complete with hating his kid for her gender identity.

[โ€“] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 32 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Being trans is not a sexuality and given the long-debunked psychiatric tradition of viewing transness as a sexual pathology, it's extremely problematic to imply otherwise. Musk has afaik never commented on her sexual orientation, it's always been about her gender identity.

my-hero didn't make that distinction, probably, when he outright lied about Vivian having been "campy gay," including making shit up about fashion makeover fretting and Broadway.

[โ€“] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

"Hey, Elong actually thinks being trans is some sort of being extra pervy gay" really isn't a great comeback to this. What you describe is exactly what i was complaining about - ascribing a male sexual orientation to a trans woman to portray her as a sexually deviant man. That's not a problem with her sexuality, which he might not even know when he has to make up stuff like this, it's a textbook case of transphobia and should be called out like this to not reproduce his transphobic slander. SorosFootSoldier had the decency to listen and correct the mistake instead of lecturing me about the fine print of Elon's ramblings like a redditor.

I can't believe i actually have to have this converation in 2024, on hexbear, on the fucking trans comm.

Edit: To clarify this and because i need to educate you for your desperately needed self crit instead of just calling you out, the point i was making is that there is a century-long psychiatric history of abusing assumptions about our sexuality to deny our identities and gatekeep gender affirming care and core parts of socially and legally transitioning. This works independently of our actual sexualities, which are never recognized, but always inverted. When we are straight, we are belittled as gay men in denial who merely want to escape being gay by becoming a woman. When we are lesbian, we get demonized as predatory fetishists who have transitioning as some kind of auto-erotic kink. When we are bi or pan, we are supposed to be either extra confused gays in denial or extra fetishistic predators. When we are ace, we are assumed to be repressing one of the former things. It's NEVER about sexuality, it's about making up excuses to deny trans people even exist. Every transphobe who speculates or outright makes shit up about a trans person's sexuality is engaging not in a conversation about that person's sexuality, but is making a bad faith argument to be transphobic, and that needs to be described as such to refute and deconstruct these narratives.

melon-musk can suck it!

And by "it", I mean a tailpipe. Label it "100% Pure Copium" and make sure he inhales deeply. He'll need it after that sick burn from his ex-daughter (and, uh, Grimes, I guess).
