Elon needs to get his fucking teeth kicked in.
Is this advocating for violence? If so id like to ask a mod why rules are being applied unequally?
Why are you defending rape?
I don't think the original intention was to imply rape. I think it was something like "I know you've been begging and hoping for someone to put a baby in you and fine I'll do it". Which is disgusting but not really on the level of rape.
Has Tailor been begging for a baby?
Or does Musk think the only reason women exist is to pop out babies, so Taylor must want a baby by default and Musk is willing to do so?
Because if it is the last, then it does imply rape.
I think it's implying that Taylor secretly wants it and would consent to it and want it when "given the chance" of being impregnated by Musk. Not that he would forcibly do it.
So no rape, but a weird fantasy from Musk.
'She wanted it' is the excuse of rapists and their apologists.
You are treating this as if it was actual thing that happened or even would happen. This is just fantasy shit from a weirdo. In that fantasy, Tay-Tay is totally willing. The fantasy isn't about raping her but her actually wanting to have his kids.
Neither of us know what's going on in his head but given his attitude to women I don't believe consent is important to him. Alternatively, he is knowingly being a creep for laughs, he is a troll..
That's true. I just don't think the text itself implies rape. But I guess it could.
I think the idea that she secretly wants a kid would fit in with the sort of worldview he has shown. Straight up joking about raping her would be a step further, that's why I don't think it's that.
Im simply asking why advocating for violence is ok sometimes and not others. This has got literally nothing to do with musk or whatever he tweated.
Bullshit. You're suggesting that it isn't justified to defend people against rapists. Quit JAQing off in public.
You are disgusting.
You're disgusting.
Rape is disgusting and deserves violence
AND
Violence is not acceptable
It’s merely a suggestion of karmatic punishment.
He did not say someone should do this and my favorite version is that his own tesla fails him and crashes his ego.
Technically they are (probably) advocating a third person to perform a violent act. The case would resolve around the definition of “needs to” but forget about all that... Tell me more about this car crash, the levels of karmic justice that would wash over the planet could usher in a new wave of progress. Without wanting to sound greedy, would it be possible that Musk could be giving Jordan “Benzo” Peterson a lift at the same time? Fingers crossed 🤞
Common Musk Worshipping L
So you are defending someone advocating for violence?
May I remind you that the entire free world has a rich history of punching nazis.
Does "the free world" include Kemalist Turkey, Pinochet's Chile, Japan, Saudi Arabia and Israel?
I'm really not that keen on the subject who's worse, but calling something "the free world" gets me every time.
EDIT: Obviously didn't mention every European colonial power, like UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, of which some have done pretty Nazi shit long after 1945.
He is, funnily enough. Fascism = Nazism.
You know the answer to both those questions… don’t you? Good effort asking them all the same.
Umm its fine to wish death upon on rich white man and only a particular political opinion is allowed?
You misspelled fascist oligarch.
That’s the thing with a lot of US-centric topics on here. The problem with freedom of speech for everyone is that a thousand loud voices saying the same thing drown out one quiet question.
Just report it if you think it violates a rule.
