"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."
From that video, I dunno if I'd call it getting booed off stage, but he definitely was expecting a reaction like he was "Stone Cold" Steve Austin coming out to save the day from Vince McMahon.

lmao it looks like he suspended the account that posted the booing vid

Famous comedians are hyper sensitive about people filming their shows (to the point of making them put their phones in locking bags) so I wouldn’t be shocked if it had something to do with that

It's far more likely that they got banned for hurting Leon's feelings, since he bans shitloads of people for that.

LMAO, Elon left his security blanket and for a few precious minutes was confronted with the reality that most people hate his guts. He'll hide behind all the usual narcissistic self-delusions, but deep in the pit of his soul he knows he is a useless garbage person and literally all the money in the world can't buy the validation he so transparently, desperately craves. At night when it's just him and the bed, I hope the sound of that booing rings in his skull like the most ear-splitting tinnitus.

I don’t know that I would consider Musk a TERF. There’s like nothing in his words or actions that demonstrates an iota of feminist leanings, trans-exclusionary or otherwise. Dude has made it abundantly clear that he sees women as nothing more than baby incubators to be discarded after serving their purpose. He would have to undergo a Scrooge-like transformation to even rise to the level of TERF, that’s how much of a loathsome piece of poo poo he is.

To think - this guy could have remained in his lane, continued to be revered by the main stream media and a legion of acolytes as a real life Tony Stark, and all of his grim business practices and opinions would have largely remained in that void where no one is quite sure of the truth of it, and even where it is true it tends to disappear from the news cycle as quickly as it appears.

I mean, Musk the man hasn't changed since buying Twitter - it has just shone a light on him 24/7, and all of his attitudes towards pronouns, insane work/life balance demands, etc can't be disputed by anyone, because he's right there relentlessly posting through it.

On the one hand seeing him exposed for what he truly is and dunked on constantly is entertainment you can't usually buy, but on the other hand his antics have actual real world consequences for people, including the H1B people who are prisoners of war at this point.

The good news is he can't be president.

The bad news is that he's actually rich and this whole circus still isn't enough to change that. So this might not be the last time he spends a whole lot of money on something very stupid and very public to try and impress his Q-anon internet pals.

Musk is a loving TERF. In 2020 it became clear that it now means trans exclusionary radical fuckwad and that's how a lot of the LGBT+ community have been using it since the right wing Christian "well actually I'm not a feminist so how can I be a terf" bollocks started. He hates trans women, you don't even need to look at his bullshit about pronouns, look to the fact that his trans daughter disowned him and called him a loving terf.

I have zero time for "well actually he hasn't outright said "death to trans women" so how do we know" bullshittery.

Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. Great comedian Dave Chapelle is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up.'

He definitely didn't touch anything like that. The bots and trolls are trained to prop up chuds, and will conveniently drown out anyone critical of him. He could be doing it on purpose, but he's probably too thick to even realize it's happening, and either way, he gets to do nothing and declare victory, his favorite sport.

E: Not to say he didn't touch any knobs, but if he did it was absolutely something along the lines of "shadowban anyone who replies to me without the :eightbux: tag" or "tell someone to ban everyone on this hit list Ian Miles Cheong DM'd me"

Oh that's right, I somehow forgot already that his whole stated plan was to get everyone to sign up for an $8 :eightbux: (which requires a credit card and therefore means you're a real person) and then retroactively declare everyone without a sneetch star to be a "bot".

I think the thing that makes me the most unreasonably angry about the Elon Musk show is how clear he makes it that he is more desperate and pathetic and less funny than Trump.

like donald trump loving sucks and is a tremendous loser, but acknowledging that a greater loser exists feels uncomfortably similar to respect

He's only that because:

1. He's a brain poisoned contrarian dipshit that's been given a lethal dose of /pol/ posting

2. The real reason is he hates anyone feeling they can tell him what to do, and when Califirnia told him he actually had to comply with COVID regulations at Tesla and not run a plague sweatshop he flipped the gently caress out and screeched for weeks on Twitter than moved everything to Texas and ended all remote work.

I'm surprised he hasn't announced Twitter will be exclusively based in Texas in the future tbh

It's somewhat reminiscent of Trump's career. He also started out mostly apolitical and pretending to be a Democrat to fit in with the liberal New York elite, which got him nowhere once he developed political aspirations. Then he started making right wing noises out of nowhere and his political career really took off. I don't remember what happened to him in the end, but I think he was even American president for a while in the late 2010s so it kinda worked out for him. Maybe Musk is trying the same thing.

He's been anti-Covid vax since the beginning. He was spouting covid denial and conspiracy theories as soon as cases started.

It's just rare that a person that rich is a conspiracy theory true believer. Most people that well off understand how things really work in the world and that poo poo is much more boring and mundane and profit motivated. Elon has never been part of a normal large company, is not accepted in any real upper class social circles, and his only "friends" are people as batshit crazy as he is. So he has no idea of how companies or governments really operate and get served a non-stop stream of crazy that just reinforces his already hosed-up world view from his upbringing since he's a 3rd or 4th generation techno-facist eugenicist.
