      Pretend is the right word, musk is a imbecile who have the achievement to be rejected by some of the evilest scum on earth, who is a bunch of racist pedophiles who make profit from people misery, but there’s other assholes who are even more stupid than him and ketamine lord is able to capitalize and weaponize those morons.

        So far as I can tell, his only actual contributions to any of his companies are the cybertruck, a tunnel that taxis people a distance that’s faster to walk, and making an AI a racist pedophile.

          The cybertruck is so fucking stupid. I don’t know how it’s going to turn out but the slate truck looks like it’s trying to be everything Tesla’s truck should’ve been.

    Musk is such a fucking waste of oxygen. This is how he tricks people into thinking he isn’t as dumb as a lobotomized sunfish. He smugly says a bunch of bullshit just vague enough to fool other idiots into playing along because they want to feel smart too. There’s nothing ironic about the news story he referenced. He’s a fucking moronic narcissist who hears something and without even bothering to process the information immediately assumes he understands it on a level beyond everyone else. And if you press him on it even slightly he’ll just say you have a tiny brain or call you a pedophile or some shit.

    Are we legally allowed to pray to St. Luigi in regards to Musk? I hope similar actions can happen.

    If you could ask Musk what is ironic about this situation, he couldn’t tell you. Because he doesn’t know the definition of “irony”.

      They’ve been complaining about voter ID and being dunked on for making the argument that you need ID to buy groceries and now the Mamdani grocery stores require a membership ID

      They set up a loyalty program like you would have for any grocery store, which helps with inventory control, and these people think it’s an ID verification system.

        Hope they also use that to limit the quantity of food you can buy each month. Like max 5 liters of oil or so, to avoid people that bought to resell.

          I don’t think that it’s going to matter if they do. The very fact that they are offering groceries at a lower price will put pressure on grocery businesses to shave their margins, which are already quite large due to “inflation”. (These places posted insane profits in the years since tte pandemic started, and even more after it was declared over).

      The irony is that Musk, self-proclaimed super genius, doesn’t know what irony is while calling things ironic.

        The meme of communism being the root cause of the starvation in the USSR and China is infuriating to me because it stops people from seeing the valuable lesson that’s actually there: the destruction caused by ideology taking precedence over evidence and a system that cannot see or adapt to evidence that it’s made the wrong decision.

        A well run communist nation would have run optional trial programs to test lysenkoism. It would have slowly ramped it up, seeing if it actually produced results, all while promising those trying it that if it failed they’d be given food, and if it succeeded they’d be allowed to keep some of the surplus.

        No way to safely test the 5 pests campaign though. Gotta have people who understand agriculture and ecology make agricultural decisions to stop that.

        Regardless though, these problems aren’t innate to communism. Reaganism/Thatcherism are of the same nature. And fascists did it far more egregiously than anyone else, partly because their ideology is built on explicitly rejecting non ideological thought and all old ways of doing things. If communists call watering crops communism, fascists will build tents to keep their plants dry.

          The USSR and China were and are not Communist countries. Just because they call themselves Communist, doesn’t mean they have anything to do with Marxism.

      I had to sink to the lowest level but I think the perceived irony is that a socialist is opening a store which some people think is inherently capitalist

      In his empty head, there might be some connection to the Conservative Propaganda about people starving under Socialism, vs a Socialist opening grocery stores, and we’re supposed to see that as “Irony,” rather than popping a hole in their “Socialists Starve People” trope.

      He’s just not smart enough, or sober enough, to follow the mental path beyond “Har, har, look at this Socialist with food, har, har. Ironic, huh?”

    I don’t see the problem. I’d rather people be able to afford to eat and feed their families.

    Anyone who has a problem with affordable groceries, in a period of time where the cost of living outweighs being able to afford groceries; can go fuck themselves with a rusty Trident.

        What are you talking about, that song was a master class in irony. A whole song about irony that is just a series of examples, none of which are actually ironic. It’s a bit ironic, don’t you think?

        (And you’d have to know what irony is to not accidentally hit it at least once)

      That’s the thing though. No one does buy anything from him and he’s still a trillionaire because it’s all theoretical. If he was forced to actually come up with the money he couldn’t.

        All market capitalization values are theoretical, and his is inflated the most. However. Tesla still sells a bunch of cars unfortunately. And SpaceX’s value is mostly propped up by StarLink, plus the playing with rockets side of it gets juicy government contracts

        You do know they borrow against their wealth at close to zero percent interest, right? He probably cant get a trillon in cash but he could probably get $250 billion no problem.
