    There’s this point where antisemitism reaches the Kanye West curve and becomes more sad/pathetic than offensive. This somehow manages to go beyond Kanye. Elon Musk is 54 years-old and did this.

      Elon Musk is 54 years-old and did this.

      I was just thinking about him today and how he’s the quintessential manchild, a 14 year old boy in a man’s body with literally all the money in the world. Great system, wonderful to promote these types to the highest offices in the land!

            That healthcare CEO getting got certainly improved people’s healthcare coverage (at least for a short while)

            I always thought that concept that villains in fiction think they’re invincible and untouchable was just for dramatic effect, never realized real humans can reach a point where they can’t imagine getting punched in the mouth

            I recall reading something here about a study that found that legal repercussions against the rich leads to greater results in adherence to the law than it does for poorer folk; I feel it’s pretty obvious it’s because they’re reminded they’re not as untouchable as they imagine they are

        If he was a democrat, he’d be the poster child for “how do you do, fellow kids?”

        But no, his politics are hip and trendy so he gets a free pass to be a skibidi sigma rizzler alongside the digital cool kids.

        Fuck this pathetic excuse for a “culture”.

      There is a multi-billion dollar industry centered around “The libs, and god forbid, the leftists are having fun with these toys. Let’s buy them up and play with them our way.” Twitter is not a social media company. Grok is not an AI LLM/NLP startup. They are companies centered around making conservatives feel like they own the internet.

        4chan didn’t even exist until he was in his 30s so it’s even more pathetic.

        Furthermore this guy has so much money he could just hire a team of actors to tell him how cool and funny he is. But he does this
