Is he seriously posting cringe like this?

[-] archonet@lemy.lol 113 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

My guy he posted about being banned from PoE2, a mostly PvE game, for cheating. Literal man child that cannot beat AI enemies.

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 39 points 6 days ago

it shouldn’t be too surprising that he cheats in online games given that he cheats in pretty much every other aspect of his life as well

[-] riodoro1@lemmy.world 35 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

The richest man on this planet. What the fuck are we doing

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

I'd argue that Putin and perhaps some Saudi royalty are richer but we don't know those numbers. But yeah agreed in general of course.

[-] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 10 points 6 days ago

I didn't even see that one, was it like super obviously "in just so good and amazing and smart they banned me for cheating"

[-] TrousersMcPants@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

He literally said he was banned for playing too well

Have you met the guy? (I'm sorry if you have)

That's all he does, no reason to get excited

I'm not good at metaphors... Does this mean he's using "X" to shield us from free speech?

[-] Zink@programming.dev 12 points 5 days ago

That’s exactly how the image reads to me, lol.

If by “Free speech absolutist”, he means, “big fat fucking liar”, then I agree with his stupid fat ass.

[-] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 22 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Free speech absolutist

Whenever I hear that, I know the person is one of the following: bigot, fascist, liar, or so dumb they shouldn't have children.

In the context of this movie, Musk is Theron, forcing himself on the wife of the protagonist and taking all the gold.

[-] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 18 points 6 days ago

That would be a valid description of him, yes

"Free speech" means "hate speech" when right-wingers say it.

[-] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 10 points 6 days ago

That is the only thing free speech means to them. One sided uninterrupted and unchallenged propaganda.

[-] don@lemm.ee 50 points 6 days ago

Poor fucker never did have a good grasp on reality.

Fuckhead lies just like his orange catdaddy

[-] Mwa@lemm.ee 41 points 6 days ago

I kinda hate how they want free speech but when someone they oppose says something that's also considered free speech yep it's blocked.

[-] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 40 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

It's always free speech for me, not for you, and my free speech is the hateful kind, but it's not hateful, you're just woke for saying it is.

As long as he absolutely gets to decide which speech is free and which is very very expensive

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago

This, exactly.

All right wingers that scream about freespeech are screaming for the same thing.

The freedom for them to say whatever they want, and the freedom to silence anyone who calls them out and proves them wrong.

[-] hperrin@lemmy.ca 14 points 5 days ago

Everything Musk says is a lie, just like his boyfriend, Trump.

Why the heck don't we just deport Musk to Texas and then secede Texas from the US?

They moved to Europe after the election.

[-] abbadon420@lemm.ee 11 points 5 days ago

You can't take mexico to europe, we already have Mexico in Europe.

Mexico in Europe: 🇪🇸

At this rate, social media companies will start censoring Luigi images like China does Winnie the Pooh.

I think he's mixing it up with abolitionist.

"The new Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach."

  • Elon Musk

He was never for free speech. Just claimed he was and somehow people ate it up just like they always do with everything else he claims. He said this less than a month after buying Twitter btw.

Censorship Speedrun any%. Less than 12 seconds to censor.

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 9 points 6 days ago

Musk is just another dipshit authoritarian, who thinks "speech" is reserved for people that matter (billionaires). He'll sue the ass off of anyone else whos speech he doesn’t like.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

We all know the logical conclusion here is that elon is going to get the nuclear codes. He'll then hold the entire world hostage saying...

"I'm going to do a very cool dance soon. This is a dance that will make everyone want to be BEST friends with me and say, you are the coolest person I know, El-Man! Which is the nickname they'll give me and I'll have jackets made that say it. So I'm going to do this dance on television, I'm going to buy all of the networks that there are and air it simultaneously. Now, if I hear anyone laugh at the dance, which is serious and cool, or post something making fun of this dance on social media (which will again be a very cool dance) then I will incinerate the entire world in a thermonuclear holocaust, a world that mostly consists of my own children and ex wives because honey badger don't care - I'm rick bickh!!!" [Limp starfish jump]

[-] Juigi@lemm.ee 7 points 5 days ago

Same free speech Putin practices.

[-] yarr@feddit.nl 7 points 6 days ago

Elon is busy turning X back into an echo chamber, except the pendulum has swung to the other side. It's a shame people find such solace in echo chambers -- intellectualism does not progress if you only speak with people you agree with. Indeed, it narrows conversation and thought so much it just turns into a circle jerk.

Guess what? The real world is nasty and dirty and you are never going to agree with everyone. A preschool isn't as safe a space as what Elon wants to (re)create.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 days ago

I like the balance we've found on Lemmy. We can discuss some pretty conservative ideas, but there's zero intellectual value to transphobia or any other hate speech. People shouldn't be required to re-explain their right to exist every generation.
