I seriously doubt that Elon understands the concept of kung fu, either.

Elon Musk: Trump is doing the critical thought and analysis for me, but I did the rest of that.
This is like the video of Trump folks blaring Rage Against The Machine screaming "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!", and not seeing the irony.
Or the people bashing Tom Morello for "getting political".
Former Republican speaker of the house Paul Ryan said he was a RATM fan. The same guy who gave people Ayn Rand novels as Christmas gifts.
Tom Morello's perfect response: "Paul Ryan Is the embodiment of the machine our music rages against."
What if I told you that breaking down your entire worldview and building it back up from the ground up can still result in shitty beliefs because you refused to look inward and work on yourself and you’re still a shitty person?
True, but Musk never broke down his worldview. He was a shitty apartheid kid, he is a shitty bigot adult
This reminds me of that guy who declared he wouldn't be listening to Rage Against the Machine anymore because Tom Morello had become too political 😂😂😂
How about when a republican Tweeted:
"Bummed to learn that @deesnider, the man with the perfect song written decades ago about the attack on traditional, conservative American values… “We’re Not Gonna Take It” is riding the train in the wrong direction. How could it be that he sang for us but now fights for them?
And Dee Snider:
You think i wrote a song in support of "traditional American values"? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! You funny.
The most stereotypical drag band aren't conservative? What a shocker
the man with the perfect song written decades ago about the attack on traditional, conservative American values
Ah yes, the famously conservative hair metal singer whose stage getup was just shy of a drag performers. How could one forget this pinnacle of conservative values.
They saw it was from Twisted Sister and probably thought they were into incest like them?

My favorite response the Morello tweet got was "what 'Machine' did you think he was raging against? The dishwasher?" Lol

They don’t care about the kungfu either. They’re mostly in it for the guns.
They really should have made Switch change gender when they were in the Matrix. As it was, they being the only one to wear white in the Matrix, it was a good other option but it would have made for a better story if it was able to be the way the writing suggested
I don't normally advocate for such things, but I would not complain if a "special edition" version came out where Switch was digitally altered to be a different gender in either the Matrix or reality.
Conservatives telling you to escape the matrix and join them is always the funniest shit, because like grandpa, have you thought about how few people basically shape your entire worldview right now?
We should be lauding Elon Musk for dispelling the notion that the wealthy have any inherent superiority to anyone else. He keeps proving it over and over and over.
Thank you Elon, for being yourself and proving, once and for all, that anyone can be a billionaire, all you have to do is benefit from the exploitation of apartheid.
Yep, Gates era billionaires had the good sense to maintain a vaneer of selfless philanthropic personality where each interaction with public was carefully crafted by PR experts. So the general public didn't know who they really were as actual people.
But Musk landed on the scene and showed the world that billionaires are as stupid as—if not more because they are out of touch with the reality—as the regular person.

This is the same guy who loves Iain Banks' Culture novels while somehow remaining oblivious to their strongly leftist and anti-capitalist stance, and just sees "cool spaceships go pew pew". He's a complete moron.
He also says he loves the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which is extremely anti-corporate and portrays every AI as flawed, an asshole, or both.

The part in Matrix 4 where theyre like "do I really have to spell it out for you? We have to do this again?"
I guess I'm going to have to watch the whole series again.
