Ah, Elon Musk. He tried to be the Henry Ford of space travel but instead became the Liz Truss of social media.
We should all be grateful that it wasn't the other way round, though, otherwise we'd all be cowering in our cellars while white-hot chunks of rocket shrapnel spraying nitric acid and hydrazine rained down from above.
@m He could be both at the same time.
@m The UK still exists though. Not sure Twitter will.
@m he’s a toddler who is breaking his fancy toy
@m more like Thatcher.
@zmbcgn No, definitely Liz Truss. The stuff she did made Thatcher look like Marx.
@m they both have the number 44 in common, too
@m πŸ€£πŸ‘πŸ»
@m Gaslit Nation podcast loves to call him Space Trump πŸ˜†
@m I mean, Ford was an antisemitic ass who stole the idea from slaughterhouses :-p

@m

He "did it 4 da lulz" but you can't find that tweet because he deleted it. Luckily there is an archive of his deleted tweets.

@m or trying to be both at the same time, can't compute
@m Perfect! Aka β€œSpace Karen”
@m don’t think he’s a sub though
@m you're being unreasonable. #Elon popularised the #fediverse more than anyone ever in the history of mankind! 😁
@m Trusses are useful in Space vehicles ;-).
@m Musk sells you the future version of Uncle Tom's Cabin.
@m He's such a turd. He ain't gonna be an intergalactic superstar. I never paid much attention to him but when he started this Mars nonsense, I knew he wasn't very smart & likely knows very little about science or space in general. πŸ™„
@m I doff my cap. Well played. Glorious toot!
@m I think like Liz Truss who knew her appointment was temporary (although I don’t think she knew how brief) he just bought Twitter to destroy it, probably on behalf of Putin
@m absolutely! You hit the nail!
@m its mind blowing what a monumental fuck-up LT made in such a short time. I’m wondering if it was actually inevitable and the stories just threw her under the bus?
@andy_warb She was very clear about what she and Kwarteng intended to do during the leadership election, but the Tory membership elected her (sorry, "gave her a mandate") to do it anyway. Whether this has anything to do with many party members seeing the choice as between "the bit of totty or the brown chap", I could not say...
@m He's also the "Free Speech Absolutist" who will ban anyone who says anything mean about him.
@m don't forget to vote... Early and often
@m He's also the Henry Ford of social media, but only in the sense of how much bigots love him.
@m Given Henry Ford's ties to fascism and hatemongering, the comparison seems apt.
