Well that image now exists in our heads, so thx for that…
Are you gonna share that bleach or what?
No, mine!
Oh, hey. I DMed you on your discuss account, btw.
Elon doesn’t read your tweets. This does nothing.
You say that but we all remember him personally mass banning elon musk parody accounts and banning photos of himself he didn’t like.
So he does read your tweets. This still does nothing. This is just the lamest form of activism, and as recent evidence shows, it clearly doesn’t work.
makes us happy though
Okay Elon
Pretty sure the only thing this is meant to accomplish is annoying Elon and his fanboys.
Pretty sure it’s working on one fanboy at least.
…you think this is meant to be activism? Indeed, you think this IS (the lamest form of) activism???
Didn’t you know? Everything liberals do is activism. Just like every black character is a political statement, or how every vegan is an extremist.
I say that in jest, but some people legit can’t fathom their “out” group being normal, every day people. The scary truth is that for some folks, daring to exist at all is seen as a form of protest.
No, it does something. It conveys that it’s shameful to be feminine.
I think intentionally being misgendered pisses most people off.
Its not a misgendering. It is a mocking of his reverence to trump and cozying up ahead of the swear-in ceremony. If it pisses him off… it’s his own transphobia to blame. We’re just encouraging him if he’s an egg.
If the point isn’t to misgender him, then call him first gentleman. First lady is misgendering him. It feels justified and extra effective because of his transphobia. But it isn’t about misogyny.
Musk has previously described himself as an “alpha male”, it will annoy him for sure.
Context matters here. I think the joke is that this gender-swapped picture would really piss off Elon Musk in particular because he’s so openly and proudly transphobic.
That’s like saying it’s okay to call someone a fag if they are a homophobe.
It absolutely is not morally sound, but it clearly feels right to many. We regularly justify these attacks because such people seem to deserve any and all suffering for their values and misdeeds.
That has nothing to do with why we avoid such slurs; they harm people OTHER than whomever you are trying to harm.
That makes sense. I agree.
Yeah i don’t think i would really like this sort of joke normally. But given he’d rather say his son died to the woke virus than admit he has a trans daughter… fuck elon.
Context? On the internet? No thank you. I’ve made my snap decision and I’m right.
That’s exactly how Elon thinks which is why the tweet is great.
Not really, it’s making fun of him for being sexist.
By being sexist.
Yes, in the same way that Family Guy can get away with sexist and racist jokes. They’re making people like that look like clowns.
It’s in the same realm as satire
Maybe, although I personally don’t get that at all. Then again I’m not exactly a misogynist and do enjoy drag… Maybe I do want to see Elon in legit* drag after all. And I do mean something legit–not the diarrhea of frat bro tropes he’d inevitably lean into.
Can we get a fanfic going about Elon’s secret drag performance addiction instead of ketamine? I’d probably read it, but I’d also be glad it exists.
She looks more masculine now than before.
Elon’s HELLA genderfluid
#ElonIsGenderfluid
Even looks like someone competent enough to be running billion dollar businesses
Their measurements are 36, 48, 42, 38.
Impeccable toad body. *wolf-whistle* 🥵
I was hoping to change his name to “Felon” but who knows maybe in another 4 years.
Elonia is Trump’s blood girl.
You have to admit he makes a very handsome woman
This will actually work. Theyre both megalomaniacs with fragile egos, putting him in Trumps shadow making it look like he’s being used by Trump will drive him crazy
You can see it in his eyes in this picture.
Is… is that real?
Oh yeah baby. Strap in. And get strapped if you don’t like it.
What a fucking weirdo.
Something about CUCK ARSE on his shirt there?
OCCULT CARS? Maybe a Tesla shirt?
Ooh, kudos for finding wording that both fits the image perfectly and triggers superstitious old republicans.
Occupy Mars
That’s what a K hole looks like.
I thought it was just love.
Love takes a while to mature. This is Love’s cousin. The frantic and morally bankrupt Desire.
Looks like pure hated to me, but I’m not great at reading expressions and may just be projecting my own feelings…
Looks like severe constipation to me
it’s the other way around. mangolini cannot share the spotlight and is already annoyed that elon is always up his ass trying to be co-president. elon however is a massive cuck bitch so he’ll probably be regularly humiliated by him and not do anything about it.
I remembered this and googled it. In my mind there was a video, but man. It’s been a crazy 8 years.
“When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it’s electric cars that don’t drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocket ships to nowhere, without which subsidies he’d be worthless,” the ever-gracious Trump wrote in 2022, “and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, ‘drop to your knees and beg,’ and he would have done it…”
I’m gonna force myself to watch a crappy Stephen King movie because of this. I’ll raise a glass to anyone that can get under the skin of this dumb chump.
Why not watch one of the good ones, instead? I’d recommend:
- Carrie
- Shawshank Redemption
- Delores Clayborne
- The Green Mile
- Stand By Me
Or if you’re in for a trashy good time, The Running Man starring Arnold Schwarzenegger!
I first watched The Running Man shortly after finishing the book (which I quite enjoyed), expecting to see a movie adaptation of it, when in fact the most basic details of the premise are the only similarity between the two; as a result, I was pretty disappointed, but from what I remember of it, ‘trashy good time’ is a pretty apt description.
And Paula Abdul did the choreography for the dancing girls!
Gonna tack on The Mist to your list.
At the very least it stars Thomas Jane and Andre Bruagher, which is a win in its own right imo.
I actually don’t think I’ve seen The Mist, but now I think I’m going to give it a watch based on your recommendation.
Definitely worth a watch! I had not read the book before watching it, which I think was good going into it.
I enjoyed it as a movie outright, but it wasn’t until I did a report on it for a class that I learned to appreciate a lot of the undertones and imagery that I didn’t catch on the first pass. If you come back after you watch it I’ll tell you my favorite subtle thing I missed the first time (which I’m sure is more obvious in the book)!
Also the movie ending is so much better. Iirc Steven king even said he preferred it to what he wrote.
He did! I saw your comment after i posted mine.
Well, that was unexpectedly great. I’d love to hear your favorite subtle thing.
Also curious what the book ending was, if you want to share, @[email protected].
I think Stephen King is very good at writing stories, but often very bad at ending them; quite a few of his books have great setups but end in an unsatisfying or anticlimactic way. Very much liked the movie ending, though - was not at all what I expected, and very emotionally impactful.
He’s even gone on record that the way they ended The Mist was way better than his written ending. Having consumed both, I’m inclined to agree.
Dr. Sleep, the sequel to “The Shining” was a very apt adaption, too.
And don’t trust Kings own approval of the Dark Tower movie although Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey were actually good casts. It’s was bad nonetheless. We could have had an 10 seasons series on par with Game of Thrones if it wasn’t for that movie.
Hear hear. Great casting, but holy shit eight big novels condensed into an hour and a half. How could it be good?
Stephen King is reaching the end of his time. He was a fantastic example for pro-drugs, and I hope and assume he’s back riding that horse.
I just want to do coke and absurd amounts of mushrooms with the man. Hit me up Stevie, you’re a big dork so I bet you’re on here.
- Pet Cemetery
- Misery
- Cujo
Maximum Overdrive. So much coke was flying around King had to finish the movie.
Steven King doesn’t make movies…!? I guess reading one of his dreadful books that never saw a professional editor is too much for a performative gag.
The Langoliers is one option, a low budget TV-movie adaptation, and it has a few allegorical parallels to today’s events.
Example 1: danger as a function of regression.
For starters, the movie captures the surreal feeling many have re: our corrupted timeline. The characters’ original timeline continues on without them and they fall further behind the present until the langoliers find them. With increasing alarm, we’ve watched our timeline fall further and further from the expected path of slow but steady progress, to the point that the darkest chapter of modern history has caught up to us.
Example 2: status quo as a form of paralysis.
The restrained physics of temporal-decay around the airport gives much of the movie its aesthetic of liminal stasis. Arguably this is not unlike the husk of our former democratic government in slowing the march of progress to a crawl, focusing on conservation of status quo politics. Even now, the government timidly awaits its assimilation by the fascist demagogues, who promise to carve it up and feed it to an endless, insatiable hunger that is eating the planet. (Yeah global elites are the langoliers in this comparison.)
But the allegory fails, because our monsters are weak.
Fascists and their supporters are cowards by definition. Fear and division made them, it is what drives them, and it’s how they drive others. Spreading it is required to maintain their power. So it should come as no surprise that they are most vulnerable to courage and unity. Indeed, wherever these remain, they can only cede ground and lose power.
I saw the thumbnail and was confident itwas was a female version of Elon. I clicked anyway. I have no regrets.
Sissy Space-X
Wish I could take credit for coming up with it, but my buddy was real quick on that one.
Stephen king reports he never said this, but only because he didnt think of it.
This is just fucking misogyny. If the best insult you can think of against Elon Musk is to call him a woman, then you just hate women. Anyone who thinks this is actually good, you are part of the problem, just go vote for fucking Trump
I don’t think you got the joke.
I think it falls under irony and not misogyny. Elon has a trans daughter. He is transphobic. The best way to get at a narcissistic person is to make fun of them imo.
the joke is that Elon musk is hanging around trump so much that he’s basically his spouse
Does Elonia offer everyone her eggs?
