As if the bar for the “I have lots of black friends” defense couldn’t go any lower.

But… he had lots of black servants and they were paid to smile at him.

That should be enough for the Tesla stocks to rebound. A few more “black servants” references and we should be good.

I owned plenty of black friends.

The worst kind of slave owners were those who were kind to their slaves, and so prevented the horror of the system being realised by those who suffered from it - Oscar Wilde

It doesn’t say he was kind to them, it just says he had to buy friends.

He literally said he was a Nazi growing up.

Black servants bro. The friendly variety. You gonna tell us you didn’t have a few?

Everyone had a few black servants growing up, especially those of us who lived in a very well-run, law-abiding country with virtually no crime at all. Therefore we don’t need DEI programs.

Yea, we can’t just write this off as satire. It’s real life.
Laugh or Scream. Or both.

He isn’t political today either.
He has just found a new playground to live out his narcissism.

I thought we had a whole community just for Musk BS. This isn’t tech.

Just because he’s a clueless fool with connections who hasn’t invented anything (except maybe a truck where the sides fall off) doesn’t mean he’s not a “technologist.” He’s just as smart as smart as every other “effective altruist” or “networked state” moron.
You may be too young but remember when AOL had a highly paid “Digital Prophet” who was about as close to an actual clown as you could get without floppy clown shoes?
For the record, the network state movement means “seceding from the union.” And it won’t go any better for them than when Seasteading enthusiasts found out pirates exist.

I met an enslave as a baby in Mexico. It was my great grandma’s sister (one of the several we all are supposed to have had). I have a photo of hers as a 30 or 40 year old. She looks pissed. I’m guessing she probably didn’t like the experience.

Paying for attention/adulation seems to be ingrained.

Musk should stop talking but thats one thing he cant do it seems.

He can’t do many things. Going to the mars for example. Or building a self driving cars. And soooo much more.

How often she gets stuck in a washing machine?
Cruxifux@feddit.nl 2 weeks ago
Like seriously. Who sees that and thinks that’s a normal family?
orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Maybe. Or perhaps they’re just not hiding the shit others keep under the wraps of decorum.

So instead of focusing on the people with power and money instead you’ll throw every other human under to bus to protect Elon’s family ?
Cool cool cool
