The irony and disconnect would be horribly, horribly amazing.
Are we starting a pool to take bets on this?
"High profile wingnut man-child, who bought Twitter for the express purpose of espousing wingnut political stances and to benefit fellow wingnut party members, blathers additional disproven wingnut conspiracy theory nonsense."
Shocker!
Hey Musk fans. I thought this dude was smart?
Either yesterday or this morning, I once again saw someone arguing on Lemmy that he was definitely a rocket scientist because a bunch of kiss-asses were quoted as saying he knew everything about rockets. I have no idea why the legend persists.
He's a rocket scientist in the same way anyone who plays Kerbal Space Program is a rocket scientist. They know much more than an average person, but not enough to actually do anything useful with it.
If you're (general) still using Xitter, and you're ashamed of that fact, remember that your continued use of the platform puts money into this man's pocket.
Musk buys Comet Pizza and relocates all his child sex slaves there. "Once we get the cages installed, the Libs will be fully owned."
Are people really still on the "Pizzagate" thing? I thought that died out a while back.
Look can we just bust him for tax fraud now and save everyone a lot of unecessary grief?
Elon continues to lose it. Nothing new.
Ol musk going death con
*defcon
That was a Kanye reference.
Well then I'm glad I got wooshed
whoosh
JFC, pizzagate was stupid even by the low standards of the qon mindset.
I am waiting for Internet Historian's video titled "Elon loses his Musk" in a couple years from now.
How the fuck are we still doing this shit?!
There is no such thing as an honest conservative. Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation.
Dishonesty is a core conservative trait. We should be teaching our children to recognize conservatives as untrustworthy.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Comet Ping Pong, a Washington, D.C., pizza parlor, was the target of a conspiracy theory known as Pizzagate that rose to prominence during the 2016 election cycle.
The theory claimed that major Democratic Party figures, including presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and her Campaign Chair John Podesta, were running a satanic child trafficking operation from within the pizza joint, and that instructions for pizza orders found in Podesta’s leaked emails were actually directives on how to order children.
That Musk would publicly engage with a user dredging it up speaks to the depths to which the owner of X has descended into conspiracy-laden, right-wing fever swamps.
Musk also in May of this year claimed evidence that a mass shooter in Allen, Texas, held white nationalist beliefs was a “psyop” created by the media.
Media Matters president Angelo Carusone issued a statement on Monday addressing Musk’s campaign against the organization, which has drawn the attention of a Republican attorney general.
“Elon Musk has spent the last few days making meritless legal threats, elevating bizarre conspiracy theories, and lobbing vicious personal attacks against his ‘enemies’ online,” Carusone wrote.
The original article contains 487 words, the summary contains 185 words. Saved 62%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Lol, that’s some great trolling
wait till he learns about the reverse vampires!
