Yeah so somebody grew up in a racist household that prioritized Protestant ideals about work and success. And then that person moved to Silicon Valley with Daddy’s money and worked there during its bommiest years. Then went on to pump money into electric cars and rockets.
This all came to a screeching halt during Covid when all of a sudden, he had to not prioritize profits and success but rather the health and safety of his employees and others.
This sent him down a rabbit hole on Twitter where suddenly he felt accepted by all the Trump crowd. Now he’s stuck there and slides further right each day.
This guy is now the wealthiest person on the planet.
Fuck Elon.
Perfect summary
I genuinely can’t tell if the comic was added by somebody else to mock Musk’s tweet, or if Musk is such a narcissistic prick with zero self awareness that he "“ironically” added this comic as part of his fellow-kids memelord act.
Truth is stranger than fiction.
I checked, it was added to mock musk.
There’s a simple litmus test. Musk would never joke about himself in a self-deprecating way, in any capacity. He has such a fragile ego it would break if someone farted in his general direction.
His mother was a hamster
Your father smells of elder berries
Just when I think I couldn’t hate him anymore, he omits the Oxford comma…
Did you just grammerism him?
Don’t make me quote the 2008 hit single Oxford Comma by Vampire Weekend
One of my favourite songs, but I am still an advocate for the Oxford Comma.
I didn’t notice until you mentioned it. The monster
smh he is racist, overconfident, and uneducated
The fuck is he on about?
He thinks saying, I am cisgendered, is hate speech.
He literally wrote other- isms … Criticism, I guess. He is an idiot.
That’s become a whole rallying call for queerphobia lately. They also have beef with the words diversity, equity, and inclusion? I don’t even fucking know they can’t make their thoughts coherent and they don’t even bother trying.
The fuck is he on
about?He gets high from huffing his own farts.
Things he knows nothing the fuck about. As per usual.
Seriously the fuck is he on about?
“Going out of your way to hire women is sexist against men.”
He’s crying “reverse racism!”
They’ve captured his weird lumpy face beautifully.
The my pillow of faces.
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
France is bacon
SIR France is bacon!
For real. Diversity could easily be considered antithetical to racism. Inclusion could be considered antithetical to sexism. But no, Chef Elon made pseudo-intellectual word salad.
But, “Worlds grossly richest man not big on equity” feels like an Onion article title.
Also, “woke” more or less means “enlightened,” so “anti-woke” is pretty much “ignorance is strength.”
I feel like wokeness in general requires empathy and understanding of the plight of others. Anti-woke means being unempathetic, and folks feel that is positive? I literally can’t comprehend being for Team Sociopath, but millions of people will vote for Trump, so it’s real.
Yeah, humanity has a dark side that comes out whenever we feel mildly threatened. It’ll never stop.

Could be, but like countries that use the words “Democratic” and/or “People’s” in their names, just because you call something by a word doesn’t necessarily mean that word is accurate.
Often “diversity, inclusion and equity” in practice means doing things that would rightly be called out as sexist and racist but targeting the “right” sex and/or race.
Without citing specific examples, it sounds like you just don’t like affirmative action programs, which is an opinion I’d be embarrassed to say out loud. When one group of people has all the money and all the connections, it’s not fair to say “just treat everyone equally!” because it maintains the unequal status quo—poorer minority groups continue getting into schools at lower rates since they live in poorer neighborhoods with poorer schools and poorer access to the funds needed for higher education, women continue getting passed up for management positions, leading to more male dominated companies hiring more men for more management positions, et cetera
When one group of people has all the money and all the connections, it’s not fair to say “just treat everyone equally!” because it maintains the unequal status quo
Then targeting socioeconomic status makes more sense. Any system that categorizes people and puts poor white folks in the same “has all the money and connections” bucket as the Clintons and the Obamas in the same “has no money or connections” bucket as poor black folks is not, in any way, actually about having money or connections.
Well unfortunately, the overlap is close enough to a circle that it makes plenty of sense, especially since the issue is not purely economic, but social, as you accidentally point out by using the phrase socioeconomic. Obama has wealth that is unfathomable to the everyday person, as does Clinton—both deal with a society that belittles them because of who they are in a way that white men don’t face, rich or poor.
Surely you’ve noticed that Obama is the only black president so far, despite black people making up 10 to 20% of the population over the last few centuries.
You are also aware that Clinton would have been the first female U.S. President. She won the popular vote by a significant margin, which is a great sign for public opinion on women, but the reality is still that women, who are more than half the country, are not more than half in charge of it.
The fact these two got as far as they did is in no small part thanks to the concept of affirmative action, where we try to right past wrongs and level the playing field. Encourage women to go into nontraditional fields, encourage black students to apply for Ivy League schools and ensure there are spots for them—these things only “hurt” white men because resources are so artificially limited already, disproportionately held by the tiny percentage of [rich white men] who control the US’s giant conglomerates and obedient politicians, and regular old white men aren’t used to feeling the squeeze.
Did Obama pull the ladder up behind him somewhat by applying the same neoliberal bullshit that has destroyed the concept of compassionate social safety nets in favor of a more competitive marketplace? Can you be mad at him? Yeah. That’s beside the point. White people have been allowed to fuck over other white people for ages.
I thought this at first as well. But then I thought he probably is that dislodged from reality that he genuinely thinks he’s discriminated against when people mention equity and stuff like that because he’s the antagonist of equity.
If everyone in the world is at least not poor and comfortable it means a lot less wealth for him; a big No No for PeElon.
“When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”
The origin of that phrase is ironic, given how it’s used. It originates from a USENET post from the late 90s by what was essentially a proto-MRA referring to a woman.
I could see applying it in that direction today still, if talking about certain domains, like conscription or basically anything tied to the criminal justice system, or services for the homeless or victims of abuse.
honestly what I hate the most about those quotes is that every one of those slogans actually have a quite clear meaning , especially within the context of the book .
I find myself saying “We are the dead” quite a lot when something reality bending occurs (you know, like Elon opening his pie hole), because that’s how it feels.
When you remember he got his starting wealth from an apartheid emerald mine in South Africa, this behavior makes perfect sense.
When you make fun or point out the obvious flaws of the oppressor, it’s not “-ism”, it’s freedom
They would not even understand, they practice narciss-ism even more often than rac-ism.
Also, talking about inclusivity, this is a (probably not fully exhaustive) list of all the "-ism"s. That is how much of an ignorant cretin people using this neologism are.
It’s not racism when you, a single person, are hated. Its people telling the truth about you.
Needs more snowflake.
I’m reminded of Bender:
“This isn’t even about you”
“That’s impossible!”
The lion, the witch and the audacity of this bitch
(in 4 bitch as a gender neutral way of saying whining child while doing a rhyme)
Speaking of bitches. I much prefer them to dogs - better temprement, smell better and no undercarage for you to accidentally brush/knock when rubbing their belly.
Thats so specific
I’m generally sick of hearing about Elon at all even if it’s criticizing him, but this was a good one.
The vanity is off the charts.
He’s ok with racism and sexism, so dei is good, right?
Always do the opposite of what Elon does, is my rule of life.
Bet a board member tried to explain to him what DEI is two minutes before he Xat this Xeet.
Muskrat’s diversity plan is “exploit Indians who rely on Xitter visa sponsorship”
He’s not racist, he’d use visas to hold employees of any race ransom.
I propose an alternative nominative singular: Xit. He Xat this Xit on Xitter…
That sounds confusingly like something that someone would use to mock the current leader of China tho
Hey look, 2 birds
