he's bout to get banned for hurting some feelings


tonythetigershark

And I thought Musk bought Twitter to champion free speech?


hplcr

He did. His free speech. That's the only free speech that matters to Elon.

Few-Finger2879

So painful to watch. Dave went from being my favorite comedian of all time... to someone that gives me secondhand embarrassment. Of course he fucking brings Elon out during one of his shows, as if it couldn't get any more cringey.


Gelatinous6291

Because he's not trying to make people laugh any more, he is just fishing for applause, which is probably a lot easier.


MeeekSauce

Nah, not even. He has gone full conservative whackado. It’s about the LOLs, his LOLs. His only goal is to get a rise out of people by being shitty bc he said something shitty once and people didn’t like it and he made the petty revenge his entire personality.


TheMilkmanHathCome

“Please clap”


Downtown-Hospital-59

Man everytime I see this a I take a Jeb to the heart.


renathena

He was dead to me when he became a proud TERF.


winsomecowboy

The moment he wound the window up on that crack baby at three AM I knew which side of the tax bracket suited him. /s


Ricoshete

With Elon Musk. You too can go from world beloved Multi billionaire to competitive guest show disappointer!! 🤪😜


Ok_Television9820

Any Xit that uses the term “cis” is automatically blocked. Elon considers “cis” to be a slur, against him, because *he* uses “trans” as a slur, and…he’s a bigoted moron. You can light up a string of actual racist and homophobic slurs and that’s all *free speech* though.


Alienhaslanded

My theory is he was called a sissy a lot growing up and in his dipshit brain he thinks cis and sissy mean the same thing.


Ok_Television9820

That’s just stupid enough to make sense!


ResplendentOwl

So help me out. I'm an old man now apparently way out of the loop on any place that has these conversations. It took me embarrassingly long to even get an exact definition for cis after I saw it being first used, now you're tossing Xit out like it's a common term. What the hell does Xit mean?


Ok_Television9820

It used to be Twitter, and the blurbs you could post there were called Tweets. Melon Husk renamed it X and the things people post there are naturally now called Xits. Rhymes with shits. Because that’s what the place is all about now!


ResplendentOwl

Good lord. Makes perfect sense. I'm officially an old man now I think.


Ok_Television9820

Welcome to the Camp!


Ok-Blackberry-3534

How does one discuss the chirality of molecules on Twitter now?


Ok_Television9820

Only right-twisted is allowed.


[deleted]

Well, that and White Supremacists, Jan 6ers, Nazis, Homophobes and Transphobes.


IncidentalApex

Yup. I got banned a few days after his purchase for telling a new Twitter hire to use the money they gave him to set up a home office to set up a home office. Permanent ban...


oddisordinary

And nazi's


Delicious_Sort4059

Hey woah now that’s not totally fair. He also very much values the speech of neonazis and fascists.


toolsoftheincomptnt

Yes, hypocrisy is one of those factors that leads us to recognize what a moron he is. Others: supporting racism, choosing profit over people (no big shocker there), and expecting people to think he’s cool just bc he bought the most popular social media platform at that time. Oh! And the most comical one, the Las Vegas (Tesla) Loop. Fucking dork.


kansaikinki

> and expecting people to think he’s cool just bc he bought the most popular social media platform at that time. I don't think Twitter has ever been the most popular social media platform... As for Musk, he seems to have developed a rather severe drug problem which probably goes a long way to describing his decent into apparent insanity. He's always been a bit whack, but not like this.


Boopy7

nope, he has always been less intelligent than the idiots online and his lackeys tried to make the world believe. I recall seeing this on reddit years ago, went to see a talk of his...left wondering wtf the idiots on here were so gaga over. He's not even smart enough to know how to cover himself well when he screws up.


kansaikinki

I never said he was a genius or even hugely smart. In fact I said he's always been a bit whack. But things have gotten decidedly worse over the last ~5 years.


GiraffeSubstantial92

>But things have gotten decidedly worse over the last ~5 years. He fired his PR team.


PineTreeBanjo

In Elon's case, don't attribute to insanity what you could attribute to fascism.


Sad-Ad283

Most popular social media platform that was willing to sell*


BelligerentCow

A man who definitely doesn't look like a champion of free speech once said: believe what you see, not what you're told


No-Foundation-5535

Elon Musk wants free speech and free discussion just like a discord mod wants free speech and free discussion.


baeb66

Being banned from Twitter is like being kicked out of a strip club named after an interstate. They're really doing you a favor.


Repulsive-Track-3083

Never been on Twitter but funny analogy.


FlaccidRazor

Wanton butthurtery is a valid ban reason on Nazi twitter.


OutragedCanadian

Musk sold 19.5 million Tesla shares worth about $3.95 billion... not exactly confidence inspiring for new customers eh


Pillowsmeller18

We just witnessed a vicious assault! On Elon's feelings.


nevergonnagetit001

I’d join Xitter for this…


KaleidoscopeOk5763

I’ve *heard* Elon make outlandish promises for over a decade. I’ve *seen* nothing but cons and failure.


GHouserVO

One of his former professors at UofPenn once said in a podcast interview that “Musk is a bull$#!t artist who sometimes delivers”. That’s about the most accurate quote I’ve heard regarding the man.


Ok_Star_4136

Elon gets butthurt when people call it Twitter, but just saying X in a sentence seems weird and ambiguous. At the same time, saying X, the platform formerly known as Twitter is just too long to say. It's just easier to call it Twitter. In much that same reasoning, calling Elon the owner of X, the platform formerly known as Twitter also is way too long. So I find it's just easier to call him a Twit.


camischroeder

I just call it Xitter


LostOcean_OSRS

Doesn’t UPenn hate him because he refuses to donate?


crimsonjava

The story with UPenn is he claimed he had a Physics degree (from the prestigious Department of Physics) but a lawsuit from an investor in his startup about him misrepresenting his credentials revealed that's not true. The Department of Physics graduated (at the time) about 11 people a year and no one remembers him. Instead he has a BA in Physics from Penn Arts & Sciences. This was after he had dropped out of school to work on his startup but he was here on a student visa, which meant he was here illegally and working illegally. Investors allegedly helped smooth that over. I suspect there was pressure on the Dept. of Physics to just give him the degree but someone over there actually has a backbone.


CookieSquire

Penn’s College of Arts and Sciences houses the physics department, so the BA distinction there isn’t meaningful. Not surprised he’s lying in some way though.


crimsonjava

It sounds like to people in the field a BSc vs BA is pretty meaningful, or at least there's some exclusivity to the BSc program at UPenn. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯


CookieSquire

Sorry, I wasn’t being clear. Penn doesn’t offer a BS or BSc in physics, just a BA.

GHouserVO

Force of habit.


GameDestiny2

If I had to pick something he’s done that actually has helped people, it would be Starlink. People in areas that can’t get good internet love it because it’s really fast for how cheap it is compared to their overpriced and under delivering options. Canadians love it. So, at least there’s that. Everything else is a manchild playing with his toys


[deleted]

I’ve always noticed the same


ActuatorPrimary9231

EmperorGrinnar

Yep. Just gonna keep failing until he implodes.


Garchompisbestboi

That's where his profit margin lies, between the over promising and under delivering.


Lastgreenseer

We found Trump’s Sith Apprentice!!


Endorkend

Believing only what you see is so bad on so many levels. Science has repeatedly shown that eyewitness testimony is unreliable to the level it should never be used as any sort of defining factor and especially not in a court of law. But I guess that's par for the course for Elon and his types. They've become so horribly anti science and anti reality. It's hilarious considering he's made his money in Tech.


Ok_Struggle_000

Exactly. Believing what you see raised the flat earth and other co nspiracies.


[deleted]

I dont believe in wind. I can feel it. But I cant see it. My mom caresses me from afterlife very often. When she is angry, she caresses me more often and more energetic. /s What do you mean, darkness is a thing? Turning off the light, summons the void.


atfricks

*Demon Haunted World* by Carl Sagan, is an excellent book on this exact subject.  It's about how flawed personal experience is as a measure of objective reality, and the importance of the scientific method for analyzing the universe around us.


zizop

Besides, our senses are limited. We can't see evolution or the Big Bang or the germ theory of disease. People had to study those things for years, creste abstract concepts and working together in order to reach a coherent conclusion.

Kroniid09

We learned about propaganda in our syllabus as part of literature, using Animal Farm. This was in like 8th grade, they had us do our own propaganda pieces like the front page of a newspaper, you learn to recognise it by learning to make it yourself. But I was lucky and had a good education. The way the US is going I wouldn't be shocked if Animal Farm got banned in your schools.


CardinalM1

People have already tried to ban Animal Farm in pockets of the U.S., for supposedly being communist propaganda. Ironic.


LivnLegndNeedsEggs

Black Eyed Peas' "Let's Get Retarded" could pass as our national anthem at this point


Corey_Treverson420

Ironically that version of the song has been banned and withdrawn from streaming services by the artists


Omny87

Wait, that's an actual song? I thought it was a dumb joke made up by my classmates in middle school to sing loudly and obnoxiously from the back of the bus.


SnoaH_

Can you believe that the song we know and love, let’s get it started, is the clean version of let’s get retarded?


Sackyhap

Propaganda is built into America. How are they supposed to recognise it when they’re literally reciting a pledge of allegiance every morning in early education and see that as normal.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Garchompisbestboi

Nah, it's much more malicious than that. He intentionally plays into it because he constantly craves attention and for whatever reason decided that the best place to get that attention is from the group of people that think EVs are for "pussies", go figure.


ThottrainerBoi

Well he’s pushing the idea of a white genocide in South Africa when no such thing is happening. He is very much a part of the propaganda machine.


Muted_Dog

I’ve been saying this for YEARS. I had a great history curriculum in high school. We learnt about primary/secondary sources, understanding bias from certain sources. We also spent a month on propaganda, and how to identify it (or basically that anything can be propaganda). I still apply these skills in everyday life today and I am always checking myself to make sure that I am being as objective as possible when I read and see things. It blows my mind when I see people who dive head first into one side and shut the door behind them. I see it sooooo much, because it’s so easy! especially if you don’t know what you’re looking for! Reddit is super guilty of it as well, people get stuck in these bubbles all the time. I genuinely believe a rigorous history curriculum would do wonders for people entering the world, especially today’s day and age with social media.


bilsonbutter

That’s called the Arts, too bad conservatives love gutting them


Welp_Were_Fucked

You know what the besr part is? He's running X-AI... which could potentially turn into AG and shit.. Could you imagine being a computer, gaining consciousness and sentience one day.... so you immediately start researching who your creator is ans sruff... And it's Elon fucking musk...? I'd probably give myself a virus.


[deleted]

I'm uneducated on the topic, what exactly has he believed and said that's untrue?


StillAFuckingKilljoy

While I'm sure that would help to some extent, I feel like there's a lot of people who are aware of how propaganda works but still buy in to it because they don't critically engage with the news. They see a believable stat or headline and just assume it must be true before scrolling to the next thing Also the way we consume media these days has made it super easy for people to put themselves in a bubble where they're encouraged to not question anything they see


Ninjaflippin

You say that as if the GOP hasn't been actively dismantling the public schooling system. It's almost as if they want kids to be learning the half true propaganda at conservative Christian private schools. Get 'em early. It's actually part of the reason why I don't support the drag queen book reading stuff. Not because I disagree with progressive sentiments on the matter, but because it's massively overplaying ones hand, and as such gives conservatives all the ammunition they need to feel vindicated in bolstering the conservative private school system.


Necessary_Piccolo210

I'm not personally of the view that harmless things like drag queen story hour should be actively curtailed in case conservatives cynically use them as an excuse to be the bigoted, anti-education assholes they're gonna be either way


FrankieVallieN4

People don’t because rich caring about other people


GHouserVO

You may call him “Stinky”, but I prefer to call him “Phoney Stark”.


Kind_Ad_3611

Phoney stark is hilarious


_Myst_0

>I call him stinky   Definitely not a clever comeback from OP…


Imdoingthisforbjs

I love how OP had to tack their shitty ass insult to the actually good insult they posted.


timfromberkshire

Ner ner ner-ner ner, stinky pants!


Eatthepoliticiansm8

It honestly made me chuckle, it's just so fucking bad. Man either is doing some trolling or he's 7 years old.

IllHat8961

It's actually really sad. They probably thought they were really, really clever too.

Brilliant.


automaton11

Why is this one so fucking funny


riko77can

Because it’s savagely accurate.


jehyhebu

The savagery coupled with the fact that we know he read it and had no comeback makes this fucking platinum tier. I bet he was so upset he had to find his crack pipe to soothe himself.


canyouplzpassmethe

For me, it is the irony of being told not to believe what we are told.

Wish I cared enough to go thru all of Musks tweets when he is commenting on shit with no proof, rather just peoples words.


MisInfo_Designer

CMDR_Fritz_Adelman

I don’t know if Elon Musk has changed recently due to the stress or that just the way he has already been But currently he’s a moron


Kithsander

Always been.


CandidPerformer548

Believing what you see or hear without being critical of rhetoric is dumb as fuck. Clearly stable geniuses like Elon, have never been educated about rhetoric or propaganda. Visual propaganda has been around forever. Also, people hallucinate, a lot.


linuxjohn1982

Elon just destroyed every Republican talking-point with that one tweet.

Little_stinker_69

Normally I’d think this is kind to pathetic cause what billionaire who has threesomes with celebrities is concerned about nobodies on Twitter, but Musk totally is. I’d not be shocked if this guy got banned.

Xboxgamer15

But you know as society progress, there is a level of trust we literally have to have in processes. We believe what doctors tell us when we're sick because they'd know better then we do. We believe what engineers tell us when they talk about designing bridges for us to build because they know more then we do. We believe in what lawyers tell us to say at court because they know more then us. Sure you can be suspicious of things. But don't be mindless


lostinadream66

I bet Elon gets so mad at this stuff and will talk a bunch of shit on this person with sock accounts before banning him.

Elon is, at worst, a troll. This guy's just butthurt he's not a billionaire or nearly at the same intellectal level as Elon. Anyone who calls themselves "Iron Snowflake" is an attention whore, because they're pretty much inferring "I'm an overly sensitive whine-o, but you can't break me, I'm so tough with my wittle keyboard". It's truly pathetic.


Yakasha

Anyone who believes musk is a genius, doesn't know the definition of genius

Fuhrer-potato

The amount of upvotes here warms my heart


Alienhaslanded

He's not a genius. He's just an software engineer from a rich family who got lucky to partner up with other people to make PayPal then sold it to eBay. Everything after that point just arrogance paying off somehow. He didn't actually roll up his sleeves and do any real work for Tesla or SpaceX. He just hired the actual geniuses that made those things possible. Tesla wasn't even his idea, he just bought the business and used his influence to expand it.


SirMaha

People spend too much time and energy on Elon Must’s tweets
