Is Elon threatening to rape Taylor?

[–] VubDapple@lemmy.world 162 points 1 month ago (3 children)

He honestly thinks women want his sperm and not just his money. What a narcissist he is.

It wouldn't surprise me if Elon unironically agrees with Trump that if you're famous they let you do it.

Sounds like a threat to me

[–] ultranaut@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago

She definitely isn't going to consent to being impregnated by Elon so the only conclusion is that he will rape her to get her pregnant. Whether he intended to threaten her with rape or not, he is threatening her with rape.

If at 53 I'm sending tweets like this to female celebrities half my age, please humanely euthanise me at your earliest convenience. For my sake as much as everyone else's.

For you, I'll allow humane. For Leon...I don't know if I care to do quality control. Maybe I'll let him do it himself.

Talyor: I'm voting for Harris.

This fucking guy: Fine. I guess I'll impregnate you.

[–] cheddar@programming.dev 85 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Damn, I thought he literally offered to give her a child as he already has too many.

Can we vote to remove Musk from the internet? Cause I would vote for that.

We could send him to Mars as he's so enthusiastic about it.

This isn't even cringe, it's borderline sexual harassment

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 134 points 1 month ago (7 children)

Nothing borderline about it. It is sexual harassment.

Coming from a man who has settled several claims of sexual harassment, has children with various people who have reported to him.

Also, this is like a 60 y/o man cat calling a woman in her 30s on the street. Just gross.

It did finally click why Taylor used a pic of her and her cat tho....

Like I knew the "childless cat lady" shit blew up in their face, but it never landed that Taylor is a childless cat lady, and for better or worse she's someone a shit ton of women love.

[–] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 62 points 1 month ago

She did also literally sign her endorsement as "childless cat lady."

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 month ago (3 children)

She also said the only reason she isn't being politically neutral like she typically does is because Trump posted AI pictures of her claiming she supports right-wing policies. She's now encouraging her massive fan base of young women to vote, a group that probably would have been apathetic beforehand. That's another massive unforced error for the Trump campaign.

At least we got this gem of a reply.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 87 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (24 children)

Best thing she could do is publicly disavow twitter for that and move her business elsewhere.

I'm sure his kids would volunteer, hunger games style, to be Taylor swift new adopted child.

[–] Krono 69 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I'm confused. Is he self aware?

Does he know that this is cringe, and yet posts it deliberately to increase engagement? Like a Facebook algorithm that has escaped and gained sentience, is he a demon driven to maximize user's time on app at all costs?

Or is he the proverbial egotistical billionaire, surrounded by yes-men who have helped to lodge his head so far up his own ass that he actually believes tweets like this are cool and witty?

[–] flerp@lemm.ee 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sadly I think it's the last one. Of course I can't read his mind, but I honestly think he is just as lame and broken as he seems.

This goes beyond "cringe." This is pretty much a rape threat.

I hope her response is just "Ew. No."

Though its more likely she'll just ignore him.

[–] dvlsg@lemmy.world 46 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ignoring is the best move.

But a one-word "Weird." response would be entertaining.

This is a step beyond sexual harassment. It’s viscerally disgusting.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He’s such an asshole. And what’s worse, if he’s called out for being such an asshole, it only encourages him to keep doing it.

True signs of a sociopath.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 33 points 1 month ago (8 children)

I just don't understand how he thought this was something he should put on a public forum.

Maybe a snide/sarcastic remark along friends, sure.... It's still not in good taste, but at least it's contained to people you should trust.

But.... On Twitter?

Why?

Making rude/inappropriate comments, however, is very on-brand for Elon.

Looking at this for a while a few things come to mind:

  1. There's a likely chance theyve met in person before (as billionaires)
  2. If he wanted to get any direct message to her it'd be a snap
  3. His ego is so big he can't imagine that any woman wouldn't be enthralled by him, surely any who act repulsed are simply acting.
  4. This post is not for her reaction at all, but for his fans to hype him up with reassuring tweets(?) of "he got her!"

All I can imagine now is that in some past meeting he being as cringey as possible brought up them having a child would have had brains and her looks. She laughs awkwardly and leaves as quickly as possible.

I keep waiting for this guy to be knocked down a peg and it never really ends up happening. The only time he seemed genuinely embarrassed was when he had to back out of that Zuckerberg fight.
