He's declared war on "the woke mind virus" because his daughter is trans.
Anything to not support my kids.
The way she dragged him was a thing of beauty and it showed how much he's pandering to the right.
Just like all those fictional resistance movements he listed! /s
He declared this during a conversation. This was a discussion between the richest man in the world and the (allegedly) most popular intellectual alive. "Woke mind virus".
We are not okay.
I feel you're crediting him with wayy too much investment in his children here
He doesn't give a single shit about his children as people. He does very much care that his captive collection of shared genes look and act heteronormatively in public
I hope he'll be resisting arrest.
The woke deep state liberal communist elites, obviously. That totally totally exist.
Elon is resisting the rebels who want to overthrow his Empire.
It's mind blowing that he saw this meme and thought it represented him
These billionaires try to convince us they work hard for their riches but somehow they have time to find and post memes on social media. Doesn't he have several companies to run into the ground? Trump would tweet literally 200 times a day about shit he saw on television and social media when he was supposed to be working hard as president
If I made a million a month, then even without taxes, cost of living or any luxuries, I'd have to work 83 years and change to become a billionaire.
There is no way anyone can work hard enough to justify accruing even one billion in a lifetime, let alone several.
I am tired of Elon’s lies. I did NOT watch Divergent!
You missed out on a lot of good podcasts taking the piss out of it.
I went to see it with my brother and we laughed through it, it's not good but a bunch of people randomly doing parkour off a train is a good unintentional joke.
Does... Does he think his side is the resistance?
There was a comment with that picture, about adding bodies to pile... do you have it?
Curse you for making me aware of this. Apparently he wrote it in response to yet another cringe picture of him posing with a Samurai sword.
One of the richest men in the world calling the Trump campaign a resistance is kind of ironic.
Man-child is the richest man in the world and still has to conjure up conspiracies and shadowy cabals to excuse why he doesn’t have even more.
Could've been Batman.
Instead he's just a bad man.
The tool doesn’t have the self-awareness that billionaires are petty, wealth- and power-hoarding tyrants needing to be resisted against, and he’s one of them.
Someone should put this text over that goth picture of him he hates so much.
This one?
It's hilarious that Republicans/Conservatives see themselves as the resistance. Like when did helping people and trying to provide better lives for the needy and taxing the rich and corporations become "radical"? I'm thinking they don't actually know what a lot of these words mean. We already know they have no understanding what "woke" means, unless they do and they just don't care, which could also be true.
You watched Star Wars and sided with the resistance
Sided with the group against the politician who manufactured threats to rile up their base enough to vote him limitless power in government that he used to make himself forever emperor and turning the democratic Republic into a xenophobic, fascist authoritarian society which draws loose parallels with nazism? So much to the point that when declaring himself the emperor, Padme outright says "So this is how democracy ends..."
You're goddamn right I sided with the resistance in that regard
are american leaders unironically using the fucking galactic empire as a reference
This is how rich people see themselves tho, and it's important to pay attention to that. They all think their a small cadre of radical hold outs fighting an evil government trying to exercise over regulation. They think they're the rebels from star wars.
It's almost as if we don't live in a fictional universe, Elon, yet you still try hard to be the villain.
The lack of introspection is astounding.
Probably comes down to "B b but gubment bad."
What is this resistance he thinks he's a part of?
Sounds like he's saying the January 6th insurrectionists were the good guys.
Batman and Ironman are both multi zillionaires and they are part of the resistance in their stories. Of course, Musk is part of the problem, but it's easy to make the rich guy the hero of the story.
This just reminds me of a quote something like "the stories we tell says a lot about our values. The marvel movies are about superheroes who show up to save the world, then go back to their day jobs"
Ironman is at the top of society, and he sometimes uses his enormous influence to change it. Batman works from the outside in parallel to the police
Both of them primarily support the status quo. They aren't the rebellion, they're the guardians of the system. They appear when they are needed and do what they need to do before sliding back into their daily life
? They fought on the side of law and order not any resistance
Yeah, Iron Man even pointedly sided with the government during the Marvel Civil War.
I'm sorry, have you actually read or watched anything about them? They are not part of "the resistance", they actively promoted the system. Batman doesn't fight the government except when it crosses into criminal activity(ex. Amanda Waller). Iron Man(note that his name is two words), also sides with the government to maintain a stable society based on agreed upon laws.
what a fucking dumbass man... it's actually pissing me off. how can you be so bad at everything? like is there nothing in this world that your smooth ass brain can actually process?
He's remarkably good at making money for some reason. Like he can piss 40Bn up a wall and still be the richest man in the world and he could do it again today and still be the world's richest man. Makes me question what in the ever loving fuck I'm doing wrong.
Well, for one are you psychopath and/or sociopath? If not, that's a problem. Second, were you born wealthy? If not that's HUGE hurdle.
Hey how about we stop constantly sharing every stupid fucking thing he says?
If you ignore those who oppose you, you'll find yourself outmaneuvered from the shadows. It is done to share awareness. There are still plenty of people who still think he's so smart and will lend anything he says weight. If we stop shaming his idiocy, it allows those people to not just remain the group who think he's brilliant, but those who will back him when he does really horrible things.
How can Democrats be "the resistance" and in control of the most powerful nation on Earth? Seems to be a contradiction.
