Elon Musk Dragged For Old Tweet Sympathizing With Ye After Tweeting Antisemitic Threat

They deserve each other.

@georgetakei Nothing about this is aging well .. starting with Elon's personal mythos and brand.

@georgetakei

Someone should impress upon Elon Musk that if he doesn't believe something, trying to get someone else who also doesn't believe it to believe it won't work.

@georgetakei I just don’t understand what is turning these people. What is the allure? Have they been threatened, is there financial gain?
@empress @georgetakei for Elon it's probably about rich people solidarity like how he asked Tim Cook (??) for Apple ads.
@empress @georgetakei Actually, someone wrote a really good article about this (the Atlantic?). Elon got redpilled the way a lot of men get radicalized, when they are vulnerable after divorce or rejection. *They* can’t be wrong so it must be the woman’s. But all incel content eventually leads to the Nazis. And now he has a platform to do it to others.
@cadenza @georgetakei You may be right. Positions of authority/power/money seem to offset a littany of shortcomings.
@empress @georgetakei not an offers; an accelerant.
@empress @georgetakei ugg. Offset. Damn autocorrect!
@cadenza@universeodon. In the mammalian animal kingdom, the strongest male is often the winner of a fight, and claims all females. The loser slinks away. Baboon males that are clearly much smaller/weaker than the strongest male have other strategies to sneak a mating with females, such as befriending them. Romantically unsuccessful human males who have run out of ideas, may see authoritarianism as the quickest route to getting hands on a mate, alas. I wonder if Basic Income could help?
@empress I think this is more complex than baboons. And it’s not that they couldn’t get a mate. They are just choosing to see themselves as victims (weaker baboons) rather than doing what is necessary to attract a woman. I mean, Elon doesn’t need any more money. And women will happily settle with a broke guy as long as he is financially responsible and *not a jerk*. They don’t need more money; they need a personality upgrade.
@empress @georgetakei One thing’s for sure… money’s definitely not a guarantee of intelligence or integrity.

@georgetakei

I do wish The Shovel would hop on Mastodon- I do miss their their satire

@georgetakei I have him blocked as I have no interest in anything he says.
@georgetakei
Musk is not aging well period! His pseudo little boy or is is sexy boy pout looks ridiculous as his skin sags and bags. But even more he is no longer able to pass on the genius inventor and on his supposed brilliance. He has revealed his true evil arrogance and all his other diagnosis for all to see. So many ways to emote on that but I am sticking to certifiably insane with a large measure of asshole.

@georgetakei

They keep the same company. It wouldn't surprise me if Elon knew Kanye was going to tweet antisemitic propaganda before he tweeted it. It gives Elon an opportunity to draw a line in the sand, which is just too convenient to be organic IMO.

@noyes @georgetakei I was thinking the same thing….
@noyes @georgetakei it's all a game to them,,, watch the idiots jump for the 🥕
@georgetakei Somebody has to be writing a script with the pitch Citizen Kane meets Russian Candidate.

@georgetakei

What was he even thinking ?

@georgetakei Lots of things #SpaceKaren has done or said haven't aged all that well.
@georgetakei you *know* it's bad when Alex Jones thinks you're nuts.
@georgetakei Let's agree this should be an anti-tweet zone. Let's not be on a new server and then discuss the dumpster fire on the other server.
A content warning on twitter content from such people would be welcome.

@georgetakei

Ye has learned his lesson.

--Elon Musk and Susan Collins

@georgetakei
It is amazing what damage the GOP and nr. 45 did to America.
Amazing and highly worrying and sad.
@georgetakei I feel like we all should only post pics of him before his hair plugs. Not because there's something wrong or bad about going bald, but because his self esteem is obviously connected to it
@georgetakei good to see you on BBCGRAHAM NORTON
@georgetakei
Elon Musk soutient l'antipathie raciale parce qu'il l'a apprise alors qu'il vivait sous le régime de l'apartheid en Afrique du Sud. Musk exploite délibérément des entreprises aux États-Unis où personne ne le tiendra responsable des violations des droits de l'homme.
@georgetakei At least he's consistent with his support...
@georgetakei you know......this world is so full of hate.....Peace and love will conquer all...
@georgetakei Elon pouty face!🤣🤣🤣
@georgetakei Elon’s always been a cunt tbh
@georgetakei That moment when October of 2022 becomes "old"...

@georgetakei

Ye really should learn a bit of history about who he is looking up to

https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/afro-germans-during-the-holocaust

The Nazi Persecution of Black People in Germany

Read about the Nazi persecution of Black people, as well as Black people's experiences in Germany before the Nazi rise to power.

@georgetakei Look at those miserable faces
@SpockResists @georgetakei having lots of money doesn't necessarily make you happy
@georgetakei Two guys who have showed the world who they really are. They need proffesional help both, but we know their hearts now.
@georgetakei Can I find a space somewhere without pictures of these dumb dudes hurting my eyes? I'm off to implementing more filters. Lots of them 😤
@georgetakei good people on both sides of the gas chamber door .. NOT
@georgetakei Kanye is unwell. Where is your heart?
@georgetakei I think both of these guys are disgusting, horrible people.
@georgetakei when you’re an egotistical megalomaniac who cares less about the world.
@georgetakei Elon is almost certainly an anti-semite, even if he doesn't say it out loud, you can almost hear him thinking nazi propaganda.

@georgetakei

Bill Bur from 2019 nailing it in his explanation of the Kanye escalation.

@georgetakei is any of them on mastodon?
