For $6 Million a year, fuck yeah I'd consider it myself. You don't even look bad if you fuck it up because the world's richest fuckwit outshines every possible fuck up every step of the way.

Yo, yo, that silly mustachioed motherfucker wasn't the only one! That motherfucker got elected!

So, really, it wasn't Hitler that is to blame, it's the people that elected him.

(Now, I'm writing that in response to the chain of ideas where if there's enough money involved, people would defend anyone. I would think that I'm writing this as a form of continuing the push the absurdity to the next level rather than making a serious defense would be obvious. But people are fucking idiots, so someone would take it seriously. If you were that person until you read this, fuck you lol. )

Yaccarino said she is "immensely proud to lead this company," and told employees they should feel the same. "You're at X because you have the courage and conviction to build and operationalize the most consequential platform that exists. That's quite an enviable position to be in," Yaccarino wrote.

Meanwhile in March...

Elon Musk fires senior Twitter employee who slept in office to meet deadlines

It's almost as if they will say anything.

Let’s be real, you’re at X because you’re on a visa and can’t leave without being kicked out of the country.

Yep, it's like it's her generously compensating job compels her or something.

Who'd have thunk it?

(For real though, what did people expect her to say?)

She's a pathetic weasel who gets paid handsomely to talk absolute horseshit and shill for her boss.

Same. It wouldn't make us good people worthy of respect and admiration, but it would make us rich.

Imagine if your job was to defend this over-privileged man-child.

These sycophants never get the reward they dream of either. They always just get tossed aside at the first slip up.

[–] DogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They always just get tossed aside at the first slip up.

... with a bonus of a few billion.

NOBODY has done more damage to free speech rights than the fucking fascist free speech grifters like Musk, Jones, Shapiro, Peterson, and every other loud outhed pussy-assed radical fascist shitbag. Free speech was a regular, normal thing in the US until they showed up around 1992. Thanks to those assholes I am now ALL FOR regulated speech whether by legal means or baseball bat. Their entire motivation is to complain about free speech, gain power with this basic ideal, and then remove ALL rights from others, including and especially gun rights and free speech.

Take them out first

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 73 points 11 months ago (11 children)

You Americans can do with a little less gun rights. Might actually be healthy.

Oh, that is after getting universal healthcare and better public transport first.

Maybe then America might become an actual developed country.

Musk couldn't care less about free speech. He has implemented a policy that bans you for using the word "cisgender" while he responds to nazi propaganda with personal admiration.

By the way, where's the clarification that Musk said he should've posted? He endorsed a white supremicist conspiracy (on accident, surely!). Called it foolish -- no, not because he endorsed Nazis, but because now his haters have more ammo. (???) Half a month has passed. It's petty, because I wouldn't believe his story even if it were airtight, but he could at least try.
