He should have changed Twitter's name to Gaslight.

Do fashy things and the left will attack you. That is just how it is. Dude is such a child.

Did musk actually post that? First time I want to post something he posted.

Does Hunger Games, Star Wars, and the Matrix all incorporate a plot of "good guys win, get complacent, government goes back to fascism and they have to defeat it again only it is harder this time around because they are old and people question if doing the same thing again will lead to the same results?"

Is Musk actually operating under the belief that the literal government is "the resistance" or is he just pretending? I think he might be delusional enough to actually believe it

This is also missing the comment where in none of those movies was the richest man in the world a good guy.

this usually when elon starts sober up from his drugs, just before he takes more.

That's from August 2024. Then he didn't have the same power.

I would love to know if he still sees himself as a rebell. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/42766191 Him leaving politics because of the left criticism suggests that he thought he was fighting the good fight.

I would agree if he wasn't publicly voting Republican at that point, which he was. By midterms 2022 he had publicly stated that the Democrats were the party of hate and division and that everyone should vote Republican. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_activities_of_Elon_Musk

It would be interesting to see him fake being progressive again, say "it was all a joke" and deliver a non-apology in hopes that his EV sales pick up again.

Last I checked, in all of those, the resistance tried to save as many people as they could, and didn't think empathy was weakness.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 month ago

Richest man in the world, with unchecked power in the government, thinks he’s the resistance?

it’s almost as if he’s a textbook narcissist and actually completely incapable of self analysis

Lmao, no one watched divergent

Probably the 2nd best YA fantasy movie adapted from a book in its era. I'll never not be disappointed by The Giver, but I think they had a hard task to accomplish. É

.....Divergent literally killed the trend my dude.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

It probably did, but not before it got a couple sequels*. The other YA adaptations were just that bad.

*Their ambitious part one of the final movie was a terrible decision though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

..I did. Nothing groundbreaking, but decent enough to have on a side screen while flying around collecting herbs in WoW.

Then again perhaps the herbs were more interesting, now that I think about it..

Thank you for your candor.

Some girls who were tweens in the 2010s are really upset with you right now.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

But doctor, I am tween girl in the 2010s

You need to stop going to the 5th dentist for your obgyn exams.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Nah, the ending pissed them off. That series dropped like a rock.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

you are almost there Elon keep straining those cells and you will get it soon

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I knew the resistance would win in the end for all of those. Real life feels more like Game of Thrones and we aren't even the main characters.

Nothing this moron stands for is a rebellion against anything (except for maybe against human decency and empathy).
