He got thrown down some stairs in high school for making fun of a kid whose father committed suicide.

Elon’s own dad said that he deserved it. :lol:

To ad to this. I was giving a "learning disability diagnosis" in the early 1990s. Then Aspergers got popular in the early to mid 2000. I see your a 2014 goon. But I assure you in the mid 2000 alot of annoying posters would self diagnosis Aspergers.

It even seemed to become popular in medical circles as well. A guy I went to highschool with took part in a homicide, and the psychologist sent to assess him said the word "aspergers" and boy did he latch on to that idea like a life line.

He still claims to be autistic to this day. I dont really have the heart to call him out on his coping mechanism and how hosed up it is.

The dude was honest charismatic popular had far better social skills than me. He just did something awful. The ring leader of the homicide watched anime and worse belts like the main character from final fantasy VII.

But if Elon has a mental disability we shouldnt make fun of him for that. Its mean.

And he’s still vastly overestimating that market segment because those people tend to lose interest the moment a new shiny thing comes along and there’s really not that many of them, no matter how loudly they claim to be the silent majority. He’s gonna have to keep adding more and more outlandish stuff he can never deliver on to keep the tiny bit of monthly income that Blue will give him. Really would be nice to have some big juicy advertisers right about now

He should add “full self driving” as a feature.

:lol: eating too much broccoli can cause blood clots :lol:

I can guarantee that the blood clots statistic was in there before it went mass production, but "the benefit outweighed the risk" when everyone was dying left and right. And it still outweighs the risk.

Doub:lol::lol: that everyone I know and then some is catching covid this Christmas but not dying because they're all vaccinated, but it's still putting them down for a few days like a bad flu.

The rare blood clot problem is a known issue for years. That's why in the beginning days of the vaccine distribution they ask people to sit around for 15 minutes to ensure they are safe before they are allowed to leave.

The Twitter blue thing fits in really well with the analog horror demographic which means Elon may be killing that genre

The dumbest thing about Musk banning or otherwise attempting to drive liberals off of Twitter is that it's also going to eventually drive off the chuds too. Literally the only reason chuds have ever used Twitter is that it's a place where they can attempt to "own the libs." To them, it's a sport.

That's why Truth Social has zero appeal to them. There are no libs there to be owned.
