Are they celebrating bring your kid to work day?

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 48 points 8 hours ago (5 children)

This is so weird. Why is the dude displaying his fries like he's proud of them?

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 3 points 36 minutes ago

Got to show off the sponsors, it is in the contract.

[–] DJDarren@thelemmy.club 1 points 5 minutes ago

Almost certainly because he knows it’ll “trigger the libs” and he’s a massive cunt.

Come on! Let the kiddo feel proud!!!111

You gotta emphasize how normal and approachable you are. A true one of the people

McDonald's is normal.

Eating it sitting facing each other on a private jet is not normal.

[–] AJ1@lemmy.ca 15 points 8 hours ago

what, are you saying that a douchebag isn't allowed to be proud of his fries? I'm sorry, I thought this was America

Who's the red dress? Don't recognize her?

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 21 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

I wanted to buy a Cybertruck (don't judge me, my kid loves it). We also love McDonald's.

I no longer want anything Tesla or even want to eat at McDonald's anymore.

Your kids love it because it looks like something they could have drawn themselves.

[–] almar_quigley@lemmy.world 17 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Why would you want to buy a vehicle just because your kid likes it?

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 6 points 3 hours ago

My life revolves around my kid. So ya. If it makes him happy to be in a car he loves and it fits the families needs, then why wouldn't I?

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

If he has to get a vehicle why not one his kid likes? What vehicle choice criteria do you find acceptable?

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 hours ago

Safety, efficiency, and price.

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Probably utility and price?

Musk being best buds with the President of the USA is legit friggin' scary, speaking as a foreigner.

Then you remember that Trump, and it becomes terrifying.

This reminds me of so many comments from Americans saying how embarrassing Biden is as a president and that no one takes 🇺🇸'Murica🦅 seriously anymore under the Democrats. It was weird to read as a foreigner because I loosely remember what Trump was like. And now here we are again. Hope Americans are proud.

[–] vividspecter@lemm.ee 15 points 4 hours ago

It's always projection with conservatives.

What is actually embarrassing is that the US elected Reagan, twice, then G.W Bush, twice, and now Donald Trump, twice.

As the great scholar Bush once said:

There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again

[–] ME5SENGER_24@lemmy.world 16 points 6 hours ago

The first time I flew out of the US after Trump became president I was so embarrassed of being American because of all the questions about his crazy ass. When I landed back in the US and saw his portrait on the wall in the airport, I stared at it perplexingly trying to understand what the fuck his stupid face was doing there….then it hit me that it’s there cause he was the president. Trump is a laughing stock and him at the helm of the US makes all Americans laughing stock for allowing this country to elect an orange makeup-caked, lying, shyster.

So glad we get to do it again!!
