Mark my words, he'll become the world's first trillionaire by way of embezzling from the government. He's always been a grifter.

Also, Grimes is disgusting for not only having three children with him, but for writing a song "We appreciate power" when they first started up. A truly disgusting display on her part.

She will go down in history as a poor artist and the biggest gold digger

[–] VubDapple@real.lemmy.fan 5 points 6 months ago

She won't go down in history. No one is going to remember her except her kids.

He bought the United States government. Plain and simple. He backed all of Trump's shenanigans, was pivotal in his win, and now Trump is going to allow him to twist and break our government in whichever way is going to net him more power. I have no doubt he will make obscene amounts of money from this but the non-fungible benefits are what really scare me. Someone mentioned Musk focusing on ICBM production moving forward and I don't know if I fully buy into that idea but it is a terrifying one.

...havin' a roni?

Working his 20-something slaves and H1B guys to death while being terminally online and obsessed with memes and petty online shit. The new Fuhrer sucks.

I honestly think I prefer Trump. At least his grift and bullshit are predictable. Fuhrer Musk plays with everything like a spoiled child/future serial killer plays with small animals. He thinks tearing shit apart and destroying it is the right way to interact with the world, and he lacks even the most basic aspects of humanity.

Please don't let Musk convince you Trump is decent/better.

[–] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 25 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I dunno, Trump seems capable of recognizing when something doesn't play well in front of an audience. Like, the one skill he actually has is working a crowd.

Musk insists he was always right and doubles down.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 20 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Only crowds of a certain intelligence level though

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

"I love the poorly educated"

He works up a crowd of thousands, and he'd be embarrassed to sit for a meal with a single one of them.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If he could experience embarrassment, anyway

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah when I wrote that word I knew it was wrong. Is there a more elegant way of saying 'cognizant of the potential damage to his reputation if he were seen in public with one of his rank and file rednecks'?

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Decent? Nah. Better? Maybe in the sense that if I had to have one hand hit with a hammer I'd rather it be non-dominant one.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 64 points 6 months ago (2 children)

He also lies about how good he is at video games

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 29 points 6 months ago (2 children)

He pays people to play for him, so other people will think he is a cool gamer just like them. Dude is 53, has 12 children and his net worth is $400 billion.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 22 points 6 months ago

And when the internet found out he just bought his accounts, he went "what you gonna do about it"

I hope they just ban his accounts.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

He also claims to work 16 hours a day while simultaneously flossing his builds that would essentially involve him spending his whole day playing games. These people are so far beyond accountability that they don't even bother keeping track of their lies anymore.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

He works 16 hours a day on which one of his jobs?

There's a comedy series that TV keeps repeating here, where in one episode a guy suddenly has 6 full time jobs...

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

Surely a man of this level of character wouldn't also cheat to win an election

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 30 points 6 months ago

100s of billions of dollars, still can't afford thicker skin.

has he tried the billion-dollar store?

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Actually, he's mad they cut off his source of porn when they shutdown all the nsfw subs. He obviously compensates with his huge ego.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

The richest man in the world's servants can get him someone to have sex with inside of 30 minutes, I'm sure.

[–] johnnybravo@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Which is why he bought twitter 🐦📱, it being his last source of hentai👙🍑💋. The fact that it's renamed into the most nsfw branding ever, i.e., X 🍆, is more than mere coincidence.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 20 points 6 months ago

I really hate these times when jokes are useless because of how just reporting on the news in a real way is so absurd to begin with you have to laugh/cry. I don't like when tragedy and comedy merge.

[–] index@sh.itjust.works 16 points 6 months ago (2 children)

There's nothing more pathetic than someone using reddit in 2025

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 6 months ago

Even using xitter?

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

hey my niche interests communities are there

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 9 points 6 months ago
[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

does anyone remember when "our boy in blue" was one of the most upvoted posts of all time?

[–] JakJak98@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

It's a coup d'etat of the us federal government. Petty squabbles of reddit are just the tip of the iceberg, and a major political diversion of the real threats happening.
