Figured Elon would wait until the day off to back out, not immediately after Jon announced it was on

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I knew he was going to pussy out. Conservatives who are routinely in the public eye can't survive outside of their safe spaces. That's why Republican politicians are cancelling their town halls. They can't handle anything other than a gentle interview on FOX or OAN with the questions sent to them ahead of time so they can get their answers from the heritage foundation.

Typical far-right behavior. They stay in their safe spaces and pay to artificialy amplify their unpopular messages.
What was it, like a quarter of all the accounts on Facebook and Twitter are just AI chat bots trying to get people to engage?

Hey Elon!
I don't think that man wants to be in a room with someone smarter than him on live TV
Which is why he entirely avoids live TV. Elon is at best an idiot savant. And I'd put emphasis on idiot.

someone smarter than him
...and that's a LOT of the population.
Did his mom tell him no? Like with the Zuckerberg fight?
He a bitch like asmongold
I stopped paying attention to asmon after he started openly supporting genocide of muslims and brown folk. Has he doubled down on that stance in the last few months?
Edit: downvotes from asmon stans on lemmy? Quick poll to the downvoters: what's your instance? I have a guess, but I want to see if I'm right.
He’s a mediocre gamer at best
Never been a fan. He shows up in my feed sometimes.
Recently someone called him Jew, prejoratively, and he not only was offended but like, really angrily corrected the record that he's German, ok? (I guess to him this is the opposite of Jewish?) and idk just the whole interaction and his demeanor in that moment was a bright red flag.
This was all in the wake of the Elon fake gamer shit. Maybe I read into that small interaction too much but my Nazi senses went 5 alarm.
I did a quick search after I made the comment, and noticed that he cut ties with otk after his genocide comments and has begun his transformation into full right wing nutjob. I'm not surprised he doubled down on being a shithead.
I’m sure he’ll be on Joe rogan again getting verbally fellated and reassured that he dodged a bullet not going on the violent left wing propaganda deep state media show
From what I've seen, if you watch any of Rogan you'd find that he's not actually shouting MAGA to the heavens. He's literally the "I'm just asking questions" guy, a useful idiot who normalizes right-wing thought for them, not the place they go for reassurance. Bannon and the like are the ones saying crap like deep state conspiracy.
Mischaracterizations are what fuel the right's rhetoric when they try to say we don't know what we're actually talking about.

I'm shocked. Right up there with his cage fight with Zuck. He can't handle pressure. He got booed at Chappelle's standup show, and reportedly locked himself in his office to the point where people had to check on him and were worried he was self harming. He's fucking 10 ply.
He’s fucking 10 ply.
Okay, I almost did a literal spit-take when reading that. I had just taken a sip of coffee.
Well done. 🤣
That's a Texas-sized 10-4 good buddy
You knows, I'd normally not be okays withs callin a guys soft. As my women studies teacher says it's only the performance of the's masculinities and the threats of takins its away that keeps the cycles of the patriarchies going. That's beings saids, Elon's nots exactly what's the kids today's are calling woke.
He's spare parts.
Not at the rate of his drug usage... His parts wont even be usable.
His fucking parts have been trash since the original unboxing.
