"Be quiet small man"... smallest dick energy I've seen today.

[โ€“] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Musk is gonna be copping a lot of that in response to his tweets now.

Isn't it becoming quite widely known now that he's gotten a bad penile implant?

When the war was turning in Ukraine's favor and they were about to push into Russia, he shut it off and crippled their counter offensive. I remember. Fuck Elon and fuck starlink.

[โ€“] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Which is why Starlink needs to be confiscated and managed by NATO. Somebody has to operate it, and it should be an entity who is on the side of Freedom amd Democracy.

Musk and Starlink aren't major difference makers in this war. It's a years-long slog where the main takeaway is "cheap and reliable in volume is more than a match for the newest and fanciest." It hasn't been on the verge of turning in Ukraine's favor since the end of Russia's initial push towards Kyiv.

Don't let the fascists fool you, there are alternatives to Starlink. Eutelsat in France, Telesat in Canada and Inmarsat in the UK, just to name a few examples.

He also challenged Zuck to a cage match and chickened out when Zuck accepted. Theyโ€™re both pieces of shit.

[โ€“] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

He even chickened out of his recent offer to come on the Daily Show and debate Jon Stewart! He's a Nazi coward even when it's just talking...

[โ€“] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

Did he officially bow out then? Jon gave him all the conditions he wanted too...

[โ€“] Benjaben@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Lol I forgot about that! Yeah fuck em both of course, but I feel like most folks would put their money on the ex-KGB agent who seized and kept control of freakin' Russia over nepo-baby "gamer", "engineer" Musk. What a goofy threat. And I say that as a middling gamer and engineer myself lol

Putin is 5' 7", like 160 lbs, and 70 years old. Elon is 6'2", probably 200 lbs, and 52 years old.

I don't think fitness and training can overcome 20 years, 50 lbs, and a full head of height.

Elon Musk's atoms are poorly arranged for maximizing utility to the human race and would be better served if they were rearranged into fertilizer for feedcrops. At present they are just in a cloud of un-thought. Utilitarianism must be respected.

How do you speak our language?

[โ€“] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Is he calling people small now to compensate for his fat ass looking like Doctor Robotnik?

[โ€“] Numinous_Ylem@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nationalize SpaceX and deport Musk to South Africa where he belongs.

(Ok maybe nationalize it under the next administration.... if there is a next one)

I have a question is an immigrant allowed to be vice president ?

No right ?

[โ€“] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

VP has the same requirements as President, which exclude Musk because he isn't a citizen by birth. Musk was essentially put in the highest possible position he could be that didn't require him to be elected or confirmed by Congress.

Which is why he needed a puppet to be President for him. I don't know that he ideally wanted a puppet he'd have to time-share with Putin, but that's the puppet he bought.

And I firmly believe that aside from the occasional going off script as a kind of tantrum that Trump is entirely a puppet - consider the narcissism and desire to exude power that he has, and then look at him in the photos of that meeting where Elon was in the Oval Office with little Kevlar Musk and just how defeated Trump looks. He knows his choices were win office or be buried by the courts, and he signed whatever deals with whatever devils were necessary to guarantee it happened, he's owned by Elon and Putin, he knows it and that eats at him.

[โ€“] Numinous_Ylem@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's right, I think foreign born citizens can hold any office except president or vp

[โ€“] Taalnazi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Maybe Trump was born somewhere else...

[โ€“] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago

I can't fucking stand that douche. I wish Luigi would visit that cocksucker. Man, that feels good to say. Fuck Reddit too!

Oligarchs used to act the part, and have the appearance of being "classy".

Now Oligarchs are just a bunch of 4chan users.

Wtf is: "Be quiet, small man"

That's not an elegant way of speaking.

These people are supposed to be "upper class"?

If America was a real country this guy would've immediately been removed from any and all companies he runs.

Does SpaceX not have a board?

[โ€“] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Abandon fucking Starlink and use Eutelsat. Poland should also stop buying US made weapon systems.

[โ€“] krf@szmer.info 1 points 1 month ago

As much as I hate Elmo, you can fold Starlink terminal flat and put in a backpack and it weights around 6 kilogram and costs around $500, Eutelsat โ€žportableโ€ OW70L is fucking chonky dome that weights 30 kilos, costs $2000 and needs to be transported in a car. They need to seriously up their game, and do it fast.

[โ€“] droans@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago

There is no substitute for Starlink"

The fuck did he think militaries use before 2020?

[โ€“] Puddinghelmet@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Thankgod we're already working hard on that...
