“Well, one lesson I’ve learned is that just because I say something to a group and they laugh doesn’t mean it’s going to be all that hilarious as a post on X,” he wrote Monday, adding later, “Turns out that jokes are WAY less funny if people don’t know the context and the delivery is plain text.”
The owner of Twitter is learning how text-based communication works in realtime before our eyes.
Slash he surrounded himself with people absolutely willing to step on one another to gain power and wealth so of course they’re going to laugh at all of his “jokes”
probably one of the lawyers told him to cool it.
He’s incredibly paranoid and conspiracy minded. He probably realized after “just asking questions / joking” that “they” might send a few of these guys for him next! 2spooky4him
And being surrounded by yes men. And by right wing nutjobs.
At 53 years old
Elon Musk deletes his stochastic terrorism tweet.
The best thing that could come from the Harris election is cut ALL Musks government contracts.
Won’t someone rid me of this meddlesome
priestvice president
“Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?”
Damn, made this joke too late
If it’s any consolation, I saw yours first, so this other guy is copying you as far as I’m concerned!
It is odd that this man has any government contract, let alone any national security contract with the United States government
Delete Musk.
Shift-delete.
Put the drive in a hydraulic press.
Elon has been such a jackass this year.
I am trying to figure out what I can say without it sounding like I am asking for someone to be shot.
XX, formerly known as Musk.
He’s way older than 20 maybe LIII? or XXXXXIII
I’ve heard that autistic people are usually more concerned with justice than the average person. Is it because they’re really bad at hiding unjust meaning behind their words?
Narcissists tho care less about justice and more about revenge. Guess which aspect dominates his personality?
If I’m honest, and bear in mind that I HATE ELON MUSK, I don’t think he was calling for anyone’s assassination. He is just such an idiot that he didn’t realize that his attempt at a fabricating a conspiracy would be misconstrued as such a call.
Tfw you censor your own free speech on your “free speech” platform
First, I wouldn’t assume that there isn’t anyone planning to assassinate Harris.
Second, let’s not pretend that there hasn’t been political violence coming from Trump’s side of the aisle. For example, does the phrase “where’s Nancy” ring a bell?
Third, Trump has positioned himself as an authoritarian strong man who will not be restrained by laws, facts, institutions or norms. He has embraced extremism and excused violence. He promotes hatred, division and conspiracy theories. He attacks law enforcement and courts when they apply the law to him, while simultaneously threatening to wield them as a political tool to persecute his enemies. He has managed to get the Supreme Court to declare the president to be above the law up to and including being able to order the assassination of political rivals. He has rejected democracy, attempted to steal the last election, and incited a riot at at the capital in order to coerce congress into going along with his coup attempt. When that failed, he called for the constitution to be thrown out, and stated that members of his own administration that didn’t support him should be executed. He’s wielded his influence in the Republican party to undermine the defense of Ukraine and support for NATO, and has single-handedly weakened NATO by threatening to withdraw and sowing doubt as to whether the US can be counted on to honor the defensive pact at the heart of the alliance. He encouraged opposition to basic public health protections during a pandemic simply because they looked bad politically, fanning the flames of an anti-science and anti-health movement that significantly increased the death toll. He has promised to be a dictator, and wants to purge the federal government of anyone who is not loyal to him and his agenda. He has a base full of rabid nutcases who routinely threaten violence and intimidate those that get in the way or try to enforce the law. He uses Nazi rhetoric and is supported by neo nazis, white supremacists, and other militant groups. He also has the backing of numerous billionaires that wield disgusting amounts of power and influence, and he’s made no secret that he is willing to sell policy in exchange for contributions.
And that’s not even an exhaustive list, just the first things that come to mind. Quite frankly, Trump is so toxic and such a clear threat to basically everything that America and liberal democracy is supposed to be about that it’s not a surprise that someone would take a shot at him.
Thank goodness nobody saw it.
I hate this brand of pseudo-intellectualism.
Adversity doesn’t mean you’re right. Lack of adversity doesn’t mean you’re wrong. It just means some people agree with you and some people disagree. That’s it.
So only free speech for the moment?
A fucking moron, truly.
or one of his people did it
Elon Musk after somebody invents time travel: “why is everybody only going back in time to assasinate Hitler???”
Exactly.
