Well I was on the fence but now seeing Elon hanging out with some Jewish folks he must be an alright guy and definitely not a racist anti-semite

It's sort of funny how little he seems to give a poo poo about appearing presentable and even quasi-professional and like a somewhat serious person in public like most CEO's would. Like oh gee I represent 3-4 different companies with shareholders, better you know...actually shave and put on a tie or something and go to places in public that are appropriate settings for a man of my position instead of ones that should probably be getting visited by a Secretary of State, Ambassador, President, General, or some sort of recognized diplomat or military brass in the public sector.

What is it with these people and the 24/7 gaslighting thing anyway? Anyway I guess some people figure it's like how if you meet with Jesse Jackson after doing a racism then you can't possibly be racist. Netanyahu is apparently this for Jewish people despite not being a respected civil rights figure or anything of the sort.

It's pretty much always going up for whatever reason. The fact that he suffers absolutely zero financial consequences for his behavior basically ever is no doubt a huge enabling factor of it.

yeah, i think elon burned away alot of his credibility with big corpo and corpos also see they can just cut losses and sit advetise on instagram or tictok or youtube or whatever way easier then this. like sure he might "fix" it this time, but its clear he will keep doing it over and over.

Elon loves Israel, and so does the alt-right. The government is firmly right wing, but most importantly, they are all of those nasty people they don’t want as immigrants, and they’re somewhere else that doesn’t bother their countries.

Doing a quick Google, it seems like the main source for the gender identity is Cassius Dio who was writing specifically to insult Elagabalus's legacy, since calling a dude a woman (or even just that he bottoms) was a pretty grave insult to Roman ideals of masculinity.

They seem to be trying to manufacture a trans icon by taking a hit piece at face value, which... Eeeehhhh that seems kinda not great.

It’s so dumb too cuz anyone who has seen the actual video of that woman who became a meme knows she wasn’t even mad or arguing with anyone! She just has an expressive face/was speaking passionately and obviously you can make anyone look like a clown if you capture a still from when they’re talking. That’s what all those tabloid magazines do to make the celebrities on the cover look extra foolish (plus tons of photoshop and probably AI now as well).

I mean, if they have more sourcing than a guy who worked for the emperor who came after saying "Yeah, Elagabalus, who I might add fuckin' sucked on everybody it is possible for s person to suck, just an utterly trash person, totally said 'call me not Lord, for I am a Lady' trust me" they should probably mention it, but everything I'm finding seems to hinge on that one Cassius Dio quote.

I remember my high school text books teaching that Rome fell because the Emperor started giving bread to the populace to win their support and everyone lost the motivation to work.

Conservatives blaming democrats for the fall of roam is a tale as old as time.

I love that this guy just absolutely loving gets it, not that it's that hard to see coming if you have any awareness for pattern recognition and how massively loving triggered arch-conservative people are by the sheer existence of LGBT people. There's a lot of weird poo poo tech bros like Mark Zuckerberg too who try to style themselves off of whatever glorified image of Roman emperors they have in their head. At least I guess he picked one of the ones generally agreed by historians to have been one of the better ones in Augustus rather than one of the many batshit crazy ones that got murdered by their own confidantes after they finally got tired of dealing with all their poo poo. Nobody really gives a flying gently caress about Elagabulus though, or at least they didn't before this story came out where I now expect myriad opinions on little known 4 year emperor Elagabulus somehow.



Also it just occurred to me while browsing and looking at busts of the average Roman Emperor and how they are depicted, that maybe it's possible that the reason why Elon looks like such a tremendous loving dork in his photo ops is that he's trying to model an expression based on the bust of his favorite Roman Emperors thinking it makes him look cool and leader like rather than absolutely loving ridiculous.
