Gross.
@georgetakei The actual fack...
@stux @georgetakei Apparently part of his Twitter 4Chan plan...๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ
@stux @georgetakei
I suggest people take this at face value and start using โ€œFauciโ€ as a Musk-specific pronoun.
@georgetakei He's inciting violence on a man dedicated to helping humanity.๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคฌ
@I_am_Stefan @georgetakei
l think he has a problem with older people, especially if they are experts in their field. Remember the caver guy in Thailand who told Musk to shove his submarine up his hoop
Maybe deep down he's just scared of getting old

@AD @georgetakei Well, Musk's expertise is salesmanship.

*IMO* He's the PT Barnum of our time with the main difference: he has a disgusting amount of money.

@georgetakei Clearly Elon isn't a man of science. commonsense, intelligence, courtesy... there may be a list
@georgetakei this is how Elon has destroyed Twitter. Any legit health or medical or nursing or public health org needs to get off Twitter or be seen as complicit
@Franklypat @georgetakei it feels like theyโ€™re all still behaving like this was just some weird nightmare and tomorrow theyโ€™d be back to normalworld with Agrawal or Dorsey in charge. All the big news outlets, governments, organizations still treat twitter as an extension of their communications bureaus. Time they got the hint. Might help send the odd email here and there to help them come to terms with new realities.
@h2500 @Franklypat @georgetakei
Itโ€™s like finding apples in the sewer. Ok, yes, they are apples, but why are you still in the sewer? There are nice orchards of apples elsewhere.
@Franklypat Or they should stay on and respond to make it clear how bad this take is
@Franklypat @georgetakei Iโ€™m a neurologist and want to bail itโ€™s disgusting there but my neurology publications are on there, so keeping account for now.

@georgetakei so Space Karen is just another COVID-denying loon?

Colour me surprised ... not.

@stuherbert @georgetakei All through the pandemic shutdowns, he was ranting about it because it was hurting his bottom line slightly.
(Spoiler alert- it didn't, really. Like all of the other billionaires, his net worth flew into the stratosphere far more reliably than his rockets ever have.)

@stuherbert

He's had some shitty takes from the start.

Everyone can be wrong, but he seems to also never learn, never adjust his confidence levels to repeated failures in this area.

"Space Karen" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

@georgetakei Just when you think Musk can't go any lower, he surprises you.

#MuskIsAScumbag

@PeterSoukup @georgetakei When you think you've hit rock bottom, you hear knocking from below. โ€” Russian proverb.
@georgetakei The guy's a hideous clownfaced bell-end
@georgetakei Heโ€™s going through some things.
Teslaโ€™s stock price has dropped over 49% in the last 12 months. Thatโ€™s wiped $550 billion off itโ€™s value.
@georgetakei He's really living up to this Chief Twit role.
@georgetakei is he ordering Fauci to prosecute him?
@xgebi @georgetakei May be better if Merrick Garland was ordered to prosecute him after he gets done indicting Trump on a shitton of charges.
@georgetakei apparently the world's richest man's pronouns are verb/noun
@stooovie @georgetakei Musk rat is no longer the richest. Tesla shares have tanked.
@ChrispyCritter @georgetakei I think this distinction is largely meaningless anyway if it's driven purely by stock values
@stooovie @georgetakei Considering how the market cap of Tesla back in 2021 was larger than the five other largest car companies combined, it might have reflected a slight distortion in the stock market.
@georgetakei My pronouns are this/oblivious/right/wing/joke/was/funny/for/exactly/0.5/seconds/and/needs/to/be/retired/now.
@woozle @georgetakei They can't retire it, though. It's the only joke they have!
@Kichae @woozle @georgetakei yes. ever since it was hewn from the living flesh of the attack helicopter joke, which largely died in the process.
@woozle I thought it was kinda funny but also rude :(
@golemwire I mean, it's based on multiple factual inaccuracies and urges harmful actions, which is kind of the ultimate rudeness in my book -- so yeah. ๐Ÿ’ฏ
@georgetakei Stay classy, Elon.
@Eitheladar @georgetakei the musk rat has no clue what โ€œclassyโ€ means
@sxpert @georgetakei oh, I bet he does, but for him it has a meaning that's perpendicular to most sane humans'.
@georgetakei Musk reads less like a human and more like an AI built to maximize engagement. The unfortunate lesson of social media is that the content people engage with the most is dumb.
@jkoudys @georgetakei Having written a simple bayesian network based bot to maximise Twitter engagement before they gutted the API access: with an audience like his, a 500 line script could do a far better job.
@georgetakei
Are there still scientists on Elonโ€˜s platform?
@chris @georgetakei ima guess yes, because people still think you can argue with nazi.
@georgetakei Musk is placing a target on Fauci's back just to create a controversy. That isn't "free speech", it's hate speech.
@georgetakei Musk ๐Ÿš€ Mars. One way.
@georgetakei And somebody should tell him, that one word is a verb and the other a noun.
@georgetakei Well yes, but sadly not surprising. Not even that he uses his platform for propaganda.

Dont forget to report the post for encouraging harm to another person.

@georgetakei

@danjones000 @georgetakei why report. It will be ignored just like post of shooting or running over with a car of nazis protesting. I am not for them, but they are still human, and we do not need another mass shooting on news to be reported.
@georgetakei itโ€™s not only gross. Itโ€™s dangerous for Fauci. The owner of Twitter spreading this hate to millions of people, many of whom are willing to act, increases the chances of violence against Fauci and his family.
@georgetakei I think we should get the Secret Jewish Space Laser Corps to build a laser to blow that stupid Tesla Roadster with mannequin man autopilot-out of the sky. Elon bets against us with what goes up must come down. His intention to harm America is a premeditated-large scale very faulty plan. Heโ€™s such a gross piece of poop.

@georgetakei

Might help if he actually knew what pronouns were, but it's never been a matter of intellect. ๐Ÿ™„

@georgetakei yikes. I assume that this passes for clever in his crowd? ๐Ÿ™„
@georgetakei when I was young, I used to have a really long and complicated password to unlock my laptop to avoid posting dumb stuff when I was stoned or wasted.
@georgetakei that tweet is actually real, fuck me.

@georgetakei They well and truly only have one โ€œjoke,โ€ huh.

And Iโ€™m completely unsurprised that his trans daughter wants nothing to do with him, going to far as to even change her last name.

@georgetakei hope he starts losing government contracts over this nonsense. If I was in leadership at Tesla or SpaceX, I would be worried that he has taken his eyes WAY off of the prize.
