I’m also noticing a lack of Elon Musk assassination attempts.
How the fuck has he not been visited by the feds?
I guess to be fair they’re still getting a headcount on the people who were stupid enough to fall for the “Chase Infinite Money Glitch”
(For those who haven’t heard what that is, TikTok tricked a bunch of people into committing Check Fraud by describing it as a “Free Money Glitch” and a bunch of 20 somethings who’ve never seen Catch Me If You Can or even heard of a check fell for it…)
So only free speech for the moment?
“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.
You think the Secret Service got the joke?
I wouldn’t be surprised if he got a visit. Any of the rest of us might have for statements like that.
- lots of negative blowback: “it was a joke!”
- not that much negative blowback, at least initially: “yeah I meant that”
If only the Bible said something about this.
Now we need people to read and remember what their book actually says.
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”
Elon Musk after somebody invents time travel: “why is everybody only going back in time to assasinate Hitler???”
