Is... is he like completely manic from some bad Amphetamine today? What the gently caress is he even doing? :psyduck:

I've begun to believe that some production issue with Rich People Drugs is behind a lot of the breakdowns among people like Musk and Ye and a bunch of the crypto people. I mean, sure, some of these people were weird and already on the edge for years, but there's a possibility that during COVID some of the research chemicals that keep the rich going got tainted and Meta suddenly pivoted to legless virtual meeting apps around the same time Musk just set $44 billion on fire because Dinesh D'Souza said "maybe Elon should buy Twitter!"

The other answer is that pandemic relief funds went to the wealthy more than the average person and that drove those with obscene wealth to burn cash at an unprecedented rate simply because they had it on hand and no idea what to do with more money than god himself could imagine. It seems unlikely though as a bunch of East Coast companies and non-tech firms more or less stayed the course despite getting piles of cash from multiple governments for two years.

FYI when it comes to the pronouns thing, it’s not stupidity or anything to do with intellectual ability it’s wilful immature cruelty.

3 year olds are taught about pronouns (English Language) along with verbs and full stops, it’s built into the core of our language and becomes automatic. My lad who has a learning disability (for real and it’s a serious one) has been around both trans and Cis women his whole life and he has never misgendered anyone, you tell him “this is Debby and she is mummy’s friend” and that’s it, no matter what the “visual cues” (blehhhhhhh) are he says “Debby” or she/her.

Can't find it right now but there was someone on twitter who described it as "rich people have never been so outrageously rich, and they can do almost anything, and when there's something they can't buy, they make it everyone's problem."

For elon the something he can't buy is respect, admiration, love, etc.

I don't know if it's common elsewhere in the world, but a South African slang word for "disgusting" or "gross" is "sis", pronounced the same, derived from the Afrikaans word "sies". Very possible he's going "I'm not gross, you are." in earnest.

That's basic joke structure and therefore far too lucid, clever and coherent for Musk.

It is a little bit, thinking was easier when all you had to do was hate gay people. There's a general feeling of annoyance from the right that bigotry nowadays requires a bit of nuance.

Hence things like 'I'm not cis you are'. Wait am I cis? I need to look that up.

TERFs think “cis” is just another made up pronoun, that’s all it is combined with schoolyard “rubber and glue” comebacks.

He's saying anything below seemingly surface level nuance is hard for him to understand, so he just willfully ignores it because he's an imbecile and (I don't mean this part as an insult in any way) probably somewhere deep on the autism spectrum to the point where he probably can't discern or understand cues like that.

This is also almost entirely about Manning at this point: he might as well be screaming "A TRANS WOMAN IS DATING MY EX!" every 10 seconds.

I think Elon is an incredibly insecure toxic piece of poo poo who legitimately can't understand why any woman would have a relationship with a "disgusting" trans woman over him.

Tesla financials are out in a few days, potentially very very bad. What we are seeing on the internet is a very small number of LOUD musk fanboys/bag holders still holding out hope, and the theory actual finance people have is that Tesla’s price is going to rise and fall with the money they are actually earning from retail sales from this point on.

Do hope the Tesla, a car bought by democrats, hasn’t got itself a reputation as being the Nazi car.

Hell, Grimes and Manning have been broken up for months now, I believe. But yeah, this has always and forever been about the brain wounds Grimes leaving him for a trans woman and his older daughter coming out as trans have inflicted upon him, and his every attempt to try and soothe the pain just makes everything progressively worse for himself and others.

He feels that people that are obviously the gender they present as putting pronouns in bios is silly, and he has no ability to choose hills to die on.

Edit: Of course he's also a huge bigot and almost certainly has anti-trans bias, but that's what he's trying to say about the pronoun thing.

Yeh my lad also has a severe autism diagnosis and this has nothing to do with it, you just have to learn how to ask everyone what pronouns or just use names until you hear someone else say he/her/they, “visual cues” are sexist as gently caress which is why in 2022 humans ask each other pronouns. Which I appreciate as a Cis butch lesbian tbh because until recently I was automatically called him Quite A Lot by strangers.

Naturally, nobody is answering him on the symbol and instead they’re all fixated on the rainbow part and how straight people don’t have a flag.

It is the symbol of the Islamic faith in a lot of places. They are mad that people treat Muslims like human beings and not an entire population of born-evil Mordor Orcs who need to be exterminated. They'd put a Star of David on there too, but that would fully give away the game here.

One of the accidentally funny things Terfs did was try and create a CisHet flag to try and mock the different flags the LGBT+ community was using and they came up with this 🏁 , the formula 1 checkered flag, and to cap it off they started using it on a Silverstone weekend. Naturally they got absolutely bodied by race fans following the tag.

Yeah I found that funny on several levels, because by god the right can't laugh at themselves. The left can and does laugh at themselves, but it's just not the loving unfunny memes like anti-trans memes. "I identify as an Apache helicopter" is not a funny joke, sorry buddy.
