The fucking hubris. These mother fuckers really think we’re just gonna get on our knees because they’re rich, or roll over and die while they take over the world.

This world will be Elon’s tomb. He’s not gonna make it to Mars.

If we go to Mars it will be as free people, building a sustainable, egalitarian world where no one bows down to power hungry dictators.

If we go to Mars, they will keep earth.

What was the universe where distant planets were used as conc camps? Red Faction? Riddick?

[–] Kecessa 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

If we go to Mars we'll die, it's not happening.

Didn’t the wannabe fuhrer have a complete breakdown after this happened? I remember hearing that.

The shock of this absolutely pushed him further right, no question. He realized all his tech buddies hated his guts but there was nobody in his circle who would dare make him understand why. And that's why all billionaires are crazy.

Damn, shame it bounced back

“He got to a point where he locked himself in his office, was so upset that the Twitter employees were considering calling a wellness check by the San Francisco police because they thought he was going to self-harm himself,” Mezrich said in an interview Tuesday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box, Insider said.

Oh, no, Elon..... don't.... *goes back to work*

Been saying for years, here and on reddit, we know how to punch these people in the balls. Why is no one doing it?!

Vance and family getting rejected from visiting Greenland? He can handle it, because he's not a narcissist. Trump could not handle it, because he is.

World leaders and media need to boo and make fun of these assholes non-stop. Fucking grow a pair!

Imagine the Prime Minister of Canada or the UK saying out loud:

"President Poops-In-His-Pants is using his new word, 'tariffs'. If President "I Like the Poorly Educated" hadn't been asleep in class, maybe he could spell Smoot-Hawley Act. OK, maybe he's not wearing diapers, but have you seen that dump truck? And yes, he smells a bit off in person."

or

"President Bones Spurs sends men into combat, which he was too pussy to engage in during Vietnam."

or

"President Trump, freshly painted in gender affirming makeup and wearing a gender affirming toupee, strikes out against transsexuals for wanting gender affirming care."

FFS, he would melt the fuck down if hit with shit like this from major media and world leaders.

Oh, but we don't want to piss of the Most Powerful Man in the World! Well hell, what have we to lose?!

Why don't we do it? Host a site in another nation, market ourselves as a true news outlet, keep our writers anonymous, and advertise like raid shadow legends.

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Because people are unfortunately already worried about their livelihood, and this seems like the kind of thing that would be very likely to have them targeted by the Gestapo of this government

Ego shattered, nothing but rage and hatred left in that unflinching stare down. It works, it just needs done more often and by people whose opinion Trump cares about.

Fuck you Chappelle, you got some money and decided you were better than everyone else. Imagine introducing "the richest man in the world" like it's some honor to share the same stage. Two fucking dirtbag pieces of shit rubbing wieners just hoping the monkeys will clap for them.

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 72 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Elon Musk, Dave Chappelle, Joe Rogan, Justin Roiland, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro and a bunch of these guys must be on a group chat together I swear ...

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

A lot of them are in literal cults, or have sexual assault allegations against them

Eg Transcendental Meditation (based in Iowa): Ivanka, https://www.instagram.com/ivankatrump/reel/C4y3e-uO-IS/?hl=en Russell Brand (who also happens to fit in the sexual assault column too)

Tulsi and this other kind of niche cult (which she's never denounced): https://www.civilbeat.org/2024/12/senators-urged-to-examine-gabbards-deep-and-intense-ties-to-hawaii-sect/

Why is Justin Roland in that group? I thought he was just a sex pest. He's too poor to be with them.

[–] TylerBourbon@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

He was accidentally added to their Signal chat.

[–] Lucidlethargy 61 points 1 week ago

This is when I realized Dave Chappelle officially sucked.

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 60 points 1 week ago

"Here comes the man who has more money than you can fathom, but still wants yours. Wait, why are you booing?"

Fuck 'em both.

[–] lack@lemmy.world 53 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I like how the booing even gets to a professional comedian used to hecklers and booing as part of his day job. That's how bad this was loooool

[–] Lupo@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago

He thought he could bring the crowd under control by controlling the pace, but everytime there was a lull in the funny, they saw Elon Musk and remembered to say fuck that guy

Dave Chapelle got chaff for jokes about trans people that didn't land (probably because they were transphobic). Elon hates his trans daughter? I think that's why.

[–] Lupo@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He bought Dave a jetpack for Christmas

[–] wwb4itcgas@lemm.ee 18 points 1 week ago

It's a sad indictment of the situation that your explanation is still miles better than any other I've been able to come up with.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm kind of confused. Why is he on stage with Dave? Was this planned or was he randomly there?

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hasn't Dave been sus for a while now?

[–] Lupo@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (7 children)

Unfortunately, Dave became just another rich bitch, but, he still says some prophetic shit like, "His whole business model is fuck earth, I'm leaving anyways" or, "do you hear that sound Elon? That's the sound of pending civil unrest "

This was December 22 I think

Surprise guest. And unwelcome

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

is this recent? when was this event?

[–] Lupo@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Only because you asked nicely.

December 2022.

Contextually, I believe he just bought Twitter, fired everybody, just before he got into Trump's inner circle

I'm not 'murican, will that video make me an international terrorist?

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

You're now officially a nazi

[–] GroundedGator@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Can someone please explain what Talib Kweli was doing there and didn't punch a Nazi?

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

From which stage where for what reason? I watched the first couple seconds, but got no clues.

[–] Lupo@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Chase Center San Francisco because Elon sucks and always has. Watch the rest of the seconds, there are plenty of clues.

I just wanna say, I've really been dreaming of a Bill Burr 2028 ticket assuming elections are still a thing.

I love the guy, his voice, and his development as a person. He can pull this shit together.
