Elton John has quit twitter, so hopefully he joins us here in the Fediverse. But is there anything more pathetic than Elon’s reply? 🤣

Elon Musk Responds To Elton John's Announcement He's Leaving Twitter

The "Rocket Man" jokes have already launched.

God

@godpod

Elon suckin up like always.. pathetic.

Good for Elton... hope he does land here too ( and hope he brings Mark Hamill :P )

@godpod I can hear his biological neural net crank up the tears as he sits alone in one of his sad hotel rooms at Twitter HQ. Everyone is leaving him alone with the rwnj's and all he can do is cry about it.

@godpod

I've never followed Mr. John on Twitter. But I would follow him here.

@doctorwhom @godpod
That is Sir Elton for you!
Muhaha...
That's the nicest thing Elon has said to anyone not sharply conservative in years.
@godpod
It's so satisfying every time Elon finds out people he likes doesn't like him back.
@godpod "Is there any misinformation in particular that you're concerned about?"
@godpod From your lips to your ears.

@godpod where are you based? Your cookie banner doesn’t seem gdpr compliant…

Oh dear, I am telling god about gdpr… Getting ready to be struck by ⚡️⚡️⚡️ now!

@godpod
Elon: "What specific part of this flaming dumpster fire are you most concerned with?"
@godpod Bravo to Elton John for leaving Twitter. Would really like to see more high-profile accounts with large followings do the same.
@godpod It is not cute that Musk is playing stupid.
@ask330 exactly what he's doing. It's snark.
@godpod The bit in the linked article about Elton's comments on colonizing Mars is gold!
@godpod gee Elon, I wonder what you could do ? Stop sucking up to fascists that work non stop at dehumanizing the gay community ? Maybe start there.
@godpod clicked the link to read the comments. It appears Twatter has become an echo chamber for Dumbfuckistanians.
@godpod Twitter was always a political microphone celebrity users amplifying its reach. Now that Twitter's establishment bias is becoming rightwing those celebrities are leaving. Musk/Twitter are quickly losing relevance.
@godpod Elon asks Elton if there is "any misinformation in particular" that he is concerned about and the whole twitter thread below him is full of misinformation and hate speech, like Elton being "insane", a "Pfizer puppet", that Elton is forced to leave Twitter by the deep state, tha it wasn‘t really Elton but some „brain damage social media person" without his knowledge. If one wouldn‘t know better, one could assume it‘s all parody, but it‘s not. They are absolutely serious.
@bensen @godpod That thread of responses, wow. There are some amazingly broken thought processes on display there.
@bensen @godpod the chances of any given thread on Twitter being completely corrupt is increasing by the day
@godpod It's a little bit funny.
@godpod elon's self is broken more and more every time an actual celebrity tells him to fuck off, he's probably already retaliating on "hollywood" with his boring company
@godpod sounds like the”algorithm” has replied to Elton. God should jump onto this algorithm wagon. Sort out all the christians
@godpod perhaps we can implore George Takei to put in a good word while he’s in London for his new show, Allegiance?
@godpod I love the fact that Elton didn’t even bother replying. He knows he doesn’t deserve the dignity of a response. #EltonVElon
@godpod
Elton.
Elon.
Remove one letter and it all goes to hell.
And that my friends is "the T"!
@godpod bit of a #clickbait there God. Keep it up and I'll be unubscribing... #justsayin
@godpod Even more pathetic are the endless comments on that post by the Muskbros
@godpod
I guess Elon is t'd-off at Elton
@godpod Great hook , maybe EJ can do something with it.

@godpod

Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did?
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
And I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

@godpod hell yeah. Huge Elton John fan. Good to see him and others taking a stand against misinformation.
@godpod it is so nice not further subsidizing the life of a useless oligarch. And yes i mean musk.
@godpod Elon is a disgusting spoiled brat that is going on 3.
@godpod One thing I find impossible to truly understand. Does Elon and co believe the conspiracies, the misinformation of those he interacts with or is it part of some scam? He really does tweet with some of the most illogical, childish accounts on Twitter. It makes 0 sense to me that he would be so vocal and blatant in siding with them, if he's not a believer.

They say never meet your heroes because they will disappoint you.

Elon Musk is meeting his heroes only to have them explain to him that they think he sucks.

#ElonMusk

@godpod

@godpod

Goodbye, Elon Musk
Though I never knew you at all
You cynically fucked up the world
While those around you brawled

You crawled out of the woodwork
And you drug-addled your brain
Then you jumped upon your treadmill
And you made us mock your name

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in

And I wouldn’t like to know you
‘cause you’re just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your bad name ever did

@godpod it seems twitter’s transformation will be slow as more and more famous people leave it. Famous RWNJs will stay though, creating an echo chamber for authoritarianism. Scary with the backdrop of more authoritarian states becoming allied #china #russia
@godpod I still cant believe how awful the place has become since he bought it. Thank God for Mastodon 😄
@godpod Hey God can you smite Twitter?
@godpod If I were in Sir John's fabulous footwear, I probably would have replied to Musk's response with the whole policy change. Though I am not as elegant as he is. Good for him to step up and openly call out the BS.
@godpod And I guess that’s why they call it Twitter Blue 🎵
@godpod I would have gladly read your article had your cookie options been much quicker to choose 🙏
@godpod I like, that the freaks in the replies are unironically offended because elton john doesn't like misinfo.
