    Elon and his Jr High/middle school energy. All that’s missing is an image of him standing serious as can be improperly holding a katana saying, “while you were busy being woke, I studied the blade.”

    That’s the most edgy teenager post I’ve ever seen a boomer do.

    Edit: I just remembered this exists.

            It’s all fucking stupidity.

            Like every fucking baby boomer is some megalomaniacal racist, and nobody born after 1999 is.

            The whole thing is just shitty thinking. It was fucking boomers that were essential to every damn stage of the civil rights movement. It was fucking boomers that fought against Reagan’s policies and the changes congress made. And , yes, it was also boomers doing the shitty stuff.

            Gen x is no better or worse. Nor are millennials, gen z, or whatever the next couple will be. There’s fucking idiots in every generation. There’s assholes in every generation.

            Trying to pretend actual baby boomers are the source of all evil is fucking dumb and the people that do it are their generation’s crop of idiots. The ones that use boomer to mean anyone older than they are are even bigger idiots.

            Yeah, like when every fucking person born in the forties and fifties is dead, there’s going to be a wave of magic that turns everyone born after that into some paragon of virtue and genius. Makes total fucking sense.

            Fuck, the same idiots removed about boomers often voted for fucking Sanders. There’s even some of those idiots that were riding Musk’s jock until he “switched teams”.

            It’s fucking absurd how truly dumb humans are.

      And here we have it folks: if anyone asks for it, this is the is definitive photographic evidence that Musk is the biggest douche in the universe, the pinnacle of douchedom.

      To think that people actually look up to this muskrat.

    Anybody remember when we would question whether tweets like this were real or not and would need to check to confirm it?

    This is straight up nice guy mall ninja shit.

    “Maybe this is their lucky day…” He finished writing as he looked in the mirror at the Fedora with a ninja star tucked in its brim.

    That stranger on the Internet has no idea just how close they came to seeing the full might and fury which caused Twilight Sparkle to fall for Elon in the first place.

    Finished protecting the interwebs, he went back to trying to bring his waifu to life by sending an even bigger check to his AI engineers. She’s the only one that truly understands him.

    His mom really needs to take away his Internet privileges.

      That was my first reaction to this.

      How can someone be simultaneously so powerful and so immature? What batshit insane circumstances have given this manchild so much influence?

        Well he inherited a lot of money, invested in the people who who were technically very competent and driven, then when he got hype he was able to attract more people like that, he made two investments that were popular among the leftwing during the Obama years so lots of government cash, and then established people just assume the stock prices of his companies could only go up.

      Well, it’s thousands less since he fired all l those twitter employees. And he wants Teslas to both be built by robots and to drive themselves. So at least he’ll be increasingly less responsible for jobs that are subject to harassment and racism as time goes by.

    Elon’s lawyers: “He didn’t mean that.”

    Elon: “Yes I did.”

    Elon’s lawyers: “He really didn’t mean that. He’s just cranky because he skipped lunch.”

        I think we are past that.

        He has already said he would fight that Zuck kid, as soon as school finishes, by the bike racks. But somehow never managed to show up.

    This tweet sounds like the kind of shit you’d see online when someone wants to be tough but is also too scared to tell the cashier they gave the wrong change back.

      Right? He has all this money and influence, but all he seems to want to do with it is complain like an angsty teen online. Dude has less self control than your average teenager.
