He should have changed Twitter’s name to Gaslight.
Is Musk actually operating under the belief that the literal government is “the resistance” or is he just pretending? I think he might be delusional enough to actually believe it
This is also missing the comment where in none of those movies was the richest man in the world a good guy.
Do fashy things and the left will attack you. That is just how it is. Dude is such a child.
Does Hunger Games, Star Wars, and the Matrix all incorporate a plot of “good guys win, get complacent, government goes back to fascism and they have to defeat it again only it is harder this time around because they are old and people question if doing the same thing again will lead to the same results?”
Did musk actually post that? First time I want to post something he posted.
this usually when elon starts sober up from his drugs, just before he takes more.
Last I checked, in all of those, the resistance tried to save as many people as they could, and didn’t think empathy was weakness.
Richest man in the world, with unchecked power in the government, thinks he’s the resistance?
it’s almost as if he’s a textbook narcissist and actually completely incapable of self analysis
Man the dude is so so close to understand what a douche he is and yet completely misses the point
It’s like watching a marksman with good aim shoot in the entirely wrong direction.
Lmao, no one watched divergent
Probably the 2nd best YA fantasy movie adapted from a book in its era. I’ll never not be disappointed by The Giver, but I think they had a hard task to accomplish. É
…I did. Nothing groundbreaking, but decent enough to have on a side screen while flying around collecting herbs in WoW.
Then again perhaps the herbs were more interesting, now that I think about it…
Some girls who were tweens in the 2010s are really upset with you right now.
But doctor, I am tween girl in the 2010s
You need to stop going to the 5th dentist for your obgyn exams.
Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.
Nah, the ending pissed them off. That series dropped like a rock.
Thank you for your candor.
That’s from August 2024. Then he didn’t have the same power.
I would love to know if he still sees himself as a rebell. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/42766191 Him leaving politics because of the left criticism suggests that he thought he was fighting the good fight.
I would agree if he wasn’t publicly voting Republican at that point, which he was. By midterms 2022 he had publicly stated that the Democrats were the party of hate and division and that everyone should vote Republican. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_activities_of_Elon_Musk
It would be interesting to see him fake being progressive again, say “it was all a joke” and deliver a non-apology in hopes that his EV sales pick up again.
you are almost there Elon keep straining those cells and you will get it soon
I bet his favorite band is Rage Against the Machine and he loves to sing along to In Bloom by Nirvana.
…Does he think that the Alt-Right is the Resistance? They’re definitely the system, they’re the exact opposite of Punk Rock
There’s nothing “alt” about the party that controls all three branches of the federal government. They’re just the right.
The “alt” was a misnomer, to attract young adults that still haven’t forgotten the will to censorship of conservatives, so alt-right influencers made it seem like the left were the real censors, because a video game feminist said “maybe we should write better female characters”, and a shitty atheist scientist “destroyed her with facts and logic” (yes, that’s where the right appropriated that phrase).
This is what makes Elon’s Post funny. He calls to action against himself.
Yes, and if you pop into conservative spaces for a lurk, you will unironically see them saying they’re the real inheritors of punk rock.
This is what happens when basic political science isn’t taught, guys like Elon have no idea that socialism (the left) is fundamentally about expanding democracy to our economic systems.
