Well, 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
Isn't that literally a Miss Manner's lesson?
I don't buy it. I wanna see who the "joke" was shared with originally along with details about the additional "context".
I'm also noticing a lack of Elon Musk assassination attempts.
Would creating the cyber truck be considered as a suicide attempt?
More like opening his big stupid mouth to opine on Russia / Ukraine, or Palestine / Israel, or European civil war or other such examples would be.
“Well, 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,” he wrote Monday, adding later, “Turns out that jokes are WAY less funny if people don’t know the context and the delivery is plain text.”
The owner of Twitter is learning how text-based communication works in realtime before our eyes.
"I wAs JoKiNg!"
aka Schrodinger's douchebag.
You think the Secret Service got the joke?
I wouldn’t be surprised if he got a visit. Any of the rest of us might have for statements like that.
That’s always the lame cover up.
If only the Bible said something about this.
Now we need people to read and remember what their book actually says.
Slash he surrounded himself with people absolutely willing to step on one another to gain power and wealth so of course they're going to laugh at all of his "jokes"
At 53 years old
WHY THE FUCK HAS EVERYONE NOT DELETED TWITTER
there is literally no correct answer
I was only ever there to follow a wide variety of parody star trek accounts which were hilarious and thought provoking.
They're all gone, now that musk is doing his thing. Twitter was cancer, now it's terminal bullshit and I've deleted it long ago
I just said goodbye to it today. I realised there's a bigger, unselfish choice to be made in the scheme of it all
How the fuck has he not been visited by the feds?
I guess to be fair they're still getting a headcount on the people who were stupid enough to fall for the "Chase Infinite Money Glitch"
(For those who haven't heard what that is, TikTok tricked a bunch of people into committing Check Fraud by describing it as a "Free Money Glitch" and a bunch of 20 somethings who've never seen Catch Me If You Can or even heard of a check fell for it..)
Elon Musk deletes his stochastic terrorism tweet.
The best thing that could come from the Harris election is cut ALL Musks government contracts.
So only free speech for the moment?
Good thing it didn't get out to the internet. That would be embarrassing to keep being reminded of.
Even if it did get out to the Internet, though, all you have to do is delete it and it instantly disappears.
He's already made his request public, doesn't matter if he takes it down now.
I am trying to figure out what I can say without it sounding like I am asking for someone to be shot.
If I'm honest, and bear in mind that I HATE ELON MUSK, I don't think he was calling for anyone's assassination. He is just such an idiot that he didn't realize that his attempt at a fabricating a conspiracy would be misconstrued as such a call.
It is odd that this man has any government contract, let alone any national security contract with the United States government
Elon Musk after somebody invents time travel: "why is everybody only going back in time to assasinate Hitler???"
Elon has been such a jackass this year.
There was never a time when he wasn't a jackass. He just abandoned his job of running companies in exchange for being a full time dumbass.
He was always a jackass, he just used to be a quiet jackass that nobody ever heard from so we couldn't tell. Now that he is fully incapable of shutting the fuck up, his jackassery is on full display.
Tfw you censor your own free speech on your “free speech” platform
Thank goodness nobody saw it.
