I remember when Elon used to look like this
Nothing says liberty like the Republican party, where you can’t be yourself, love who you love or have control over your own body.
I believe that’s a so called neo-liberalism, mostly synonymous with “laissez-fare” approaching to economy. While classical liberalism seeks for personal freedoms, neo-liberalism seeks for freedoms of fake, legal persons.
The book I linked is an academic work that details how the major liberal philosophers dealt with the contradiction between freedom of the bourgeoisie and freedom of the exploited classes. It’s not a long read, and does the important work of contextualizing their philosophies.
Liberal education has a tendency to present liberalism as if someone just got the idea for everyone to be equal and free, and then the people democratically embraced capitalism because that’s the most freedom and equal system, and history ended.
Guess what I was trying to say is that that changes over time - and not in a good way. But maybe if you read the book, you can tell us more :)
Edit: looks like the author posits it has “always” been shit in mostly “liberties for me but bot thee” ways.
I understood what you’re saying, and I’m telling you it’s historically inaccurate, I just gave you a book explaining how your classical liberals practiced and argued about slavery and other “freedoms” of the bourgeoisie.
I get it now, see the edit. And they’re not mine ;)
Yes, economic freedom, that’s what liberal refer to elsewhere than the US I believe.
THAT’S ELON?!
I meant in the OP.
I had the same reaction. Dude looks terrible. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving person
Simping hard for the guy who will give him a tax break that he absolutely doesn’t need.
My feeling is he’s looking to avoid future legal troubles and who is best to make those go away…
Buddy in crime
A friend in greed.
And regulations removal, and worker rights removal, and understanding of his sex pest behavior
Even better was the r/photoshopbattles version of them dancing:
false profit
PROFIT
FIT
Oh look he has his little cowboy belt buckle. He’s a real cowboy now!
What a fucking cunt.
What a fucking cunt
Elon: “I have a dad now!”
Trump: “Somebody call security on this freak!”
Edit: Maybe Trump is downplaying his weirdness by using Elon as a sideshow freak.
Is that really Elon?? What the fuck happened?
Getting richer and more fascist and wanting taxbreaks. How or why? IDK, probably always been this way.
I meant the way he looks. The last picture I saw of him didn’t look anywhere near this rough
He moved to Texas.
He moved to Texas and is now wearing a big fucking belt buckle. He is not a serious person. If I put everything I know about the guy out of my mind, I can almost feel bad for him. Richest dude in the world and he’s desperate for his neighbors approval and to fit in. Then I remember he’s a weird piece of shit and find joy in the fact that his children hate him.
That’ll do it
His commitment to the dark side of the Force has corrupted his body and mind.
I hear it’ll do that
Men in their 50’s get fat.
Yes, but this is a drastic difference from the last photo that I saw going around
Also, I don’t even really think he is that fat. His face looks like he aged 20 years
The media only seem to post pictures of him from 10 years ago.
lol how are you surprised at this. Not like he’s smart or something 😂
He has enough money not to look like absolute dog shit
But then he’d have to give up some precious time
running companiesspewing hate online
Trump: “Jump!”
Musk: “How high?”
Trump: “Get as high as you can!”
Musk: “I am already as high as I can, I wanted to know how high I should jump!”Sadly, I think it’s Musk doing the commanding. Knowing as much as I do about Musk’s philosophy, that’s not a good thing. If Trump wasn’t fascist enough, Musk certainly isn’t going to help.
I have no doubt they are empowering each other in a sick feedback loop.
I had a friend that was always into guns but was normal about it. Then he started hanging out with this other gun guy. Within a couple years they were both psycho gun nuts. He started sleeping with a loaded the gun under his pillow. Even though he had a five year old son. To quote “He isn’t strong enough to cycle the slide so it’s ok …”
I noped out of the friendship after that.
One my old friends became a cop. He would leave his service Glock in it’s holster on his belt, hanging from his computer chair. While his then 7 year old daughter and 9 year old son ran wild, with no supervision.
“They know not to touch it.”
Did he forget that kids will go out of their way to touch it. I remember when I was a little shit, I did a lot of things I wasnt supposed to do. I only got caught for the worst ones.
Shit, I only got caught on the lamest shit I did lol. If my parents knew 20% of the shit I did…
Well its pretty hard to not get caught after causing a literal dumpster fire.
I’ve cause numerous fires. Never a dumpster though. Back in the day, when my uncle was in HS he accidentally caught his hs library on fire after breaking in to smoke pot and return a book. So he’s got me beat by quite a lot. But my mother was a neglectful narcissist, so I became a master of illusion.
Edit: honestly, most of the times I fucked up was when I was trying to be helpful. Parents had a wall they started to paint and let go for 2 weeks, they went out one night when I was like 13. So I finished it as a surprise while they were out. Got paint all over the carpet. Bonehead shit but otherwise innocent. Other than the porn, that’s all I was ever caught with. I’ve ran from the cops too many times to count from ~14-24. Never anything real bad that harmed anyone, just general mischief.
Sleeping with a loaded gun under the pillow. If somebody wants to kill you, and is in your bedroom while you’re sleeping, then you’re going to wake up to a bullet going through your brain, before you go back to sleep permanently. A gun under the pillow doesn’t even make sense in the gun nuts paranoid delusions.
Remember when Elon came on stage to booing?
https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/12/business/elon-musk-booed-dave-chappelle/index.html
Elon Musk is what happens when that middle school kid that says shit like “How fortuitous” gets money.
is that old lesbian growing a beard?
who the fuck is that?
edit: just saw where I am. Jesus, he’s really let himself go…
“… He is right behind me isn’t he?”
Aww, he let that mentally challenged man in the MAGA hat jump on the stage.
When I first saw the photo that’s exactly what I thought, I was looking on the edges of the photo for secret service agents running to tackle him
Elon look so stupid.
This is so weird… Real reminds me of Theresa May’s dancing on stage in the UK.
Is that the new single-use Tezla Bullet Shield? I like it.
