    It botheres me that it’s -59% and not -69%.

    It’s not because 69 is all that funny, but because it’s not very funny. It was a low effort joke that Elon dragged into the toilet and pissed all over, so it belongs in there with the rest of them.

      I also thought they had the opportunity to draw two black lines in an X over the dead twitter logo bird.

    I am so fucking tired of Elon Musk this Elon Musk that. Did you see what Elon Musk did the other day with the x y z thing??

    Gods, I wish there was an IRL filter/blocklist to filter out everything Elon Musk.

      I love it, because it’s becoming the de facto example of how you don’t need to a good businessman or a smart person or any other excuse people bring up to justify billionaires. I don’t need to spend time explaining how billionaires are not doing some magic to make billions, I can just point at Musk and say he is missing all the qualities the billionaires are supposed to have. In the end Musk is just a sadder real life version of this guy. Except there wouldn’t be any police for him.

        What I think is nuts is how many people see all this and still don’t get it. For example, my neighbor is a conservative voter and he still LOVES Elon. He sees Elon as intelligent, industrious, and successful simply because he has lots of money. He doesn’t care that Elon has repeatedly shown that he basically just won the millionaire’s lottery and used his familial apartheid riches to make more money but way more than your average millionaire might, more than anything because of luck. Nope. He deserves it, somehow, despite being a huge do-nothing douchebag.

      I was able to filter posts about him and the truck using the Sync app, this has snuck through because there’s no keywords in the title. I might add Tesla to the list actually.

        In the same position. I’ve managed to reduce my Elon exposure significantly with keyword filtering but these types of memes still get through :(

    Remember, Twitter was a useful tool for political dissent. It was deliberately killed going into one of the biggest years in history for democratic elections globally.

      What’s the 2024 election going to change? It’s very unlikely that we’ll get any better than Biden.

        Lol. Better than Biden? My friend, we will be lucky AF if we could maintain status quo. The choice we have is Biden (along with all his flaws. By no means he/ his admin is perfect) or full blown fascism.
