Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

So is he just coming out and saying he's driving the country into the ground? Is that the point of this? How does this idiot still have any support?

All that money won't mean shit if the economy collapses. Musk is such a goddamn clown.

What good is it to have a million dollars to buy an apple if there are no apples to be had?

I just want to remind everyone that those who call for war have never experienced it, and the closer you experience it, the less you want it.

Yeah, because when the world crumbles, it's going to be that walking bag of mayonnaise and bile that people are going to want in charge.

The more chilling thing to me being that he is causing, wants, and/or expects this as someone "in power", for wont of a better term. Is this a desire (definitely) or coming to terms with things already set in motion? I hope it's just a shitpost, but who knows at this point?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago

It's a nazi eugenics dream to wipe the country off of undesirables and initiate your plan of gender affirming individuals as they pop out of tubes. A good reminder thwt a journalist interviewed a billionaire who was showcasing their mega bunker in case everything goes to shit. What bothered the billionaire was how is he able to control his security when the natural order is upside down?

Journalist suggested empathy, to understand and care about your security detail. Billionaire disregarded that and suggested to himself shock collars would be more ideal than empathy.

Ladies: warlords will rape, abuse, and kill you. They know nothing but brutality and care nothing about your well-being.

God, I hope I am presented with a national historic news very very soon.

He's since deleted the post, but in a followup comment he mentioned the irony of talking about becoming a warlord using a picture of Max, a noted warlord killer.

As typical for all right-wingers, Musk is utterly incapable of critically examining art.

He really thinks that cyberpunk is cool and does not understand any of the philosophy or ideology behind it.

Using Max himself as the guy with warlord potential is kinda weird considering he has passed on the opportunity every time.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

We've seen Mad Max, but what about Reasonable Max, Supply-Side Max or even Opportunistic Max? Or, in this particular case, Grimes-please-call-me Max? That's a whole different story.

So he's admitting to ruining everything and being a sexist piece of shit at the same time? Well done for being masterfully evil asshole. Satan high fives you for some style points on this one Elon.

I fucking love Robert Evans. BTB has consumed dozens of hours of my time.

Sidenote, of course this chode doesn't acknowledge that he and his peers are unbelievably culpable in the downfall of society and probably the planet.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Of course they do, why do you think Peter Thiel has NZ citizenship?

Why do you think musk dabbles in Neuralink?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

Hahaha you'll be the first taco Tuesday Musk.

Yeah I haven't personally known warlords but I've been close enough to know the type and he ain't it. They would be picking bits of him out of their teeth with toothpicks by the end of day one.

Moron billionaire class. Think they’ll survive the collapse of humanity in their bunkers. The reality being they will be murdered by their staff on day one.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Every bunker needs an air intake and exhaust

Or simply die in a flood since they can’t fix the pump.

That's what the bomb collars are for.

Musk's power only comes from his wealth. That wealth is in a currency that is tied directly to the world's trust in the US government. That trust is being very quickly diminished. If things get 'Mad Max' bad all of his wealth will be absolutely worthless.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

Don't worry, that's what Dogecoin is for! 🤡

[–] [email protected] 65 points 2 months ago (7 children)

The vast majority of his wealth is stock market speculation, not even US currency.
