It’s a real shame that lawmakers seem squarely focused on sinophobia, because X should absolutely be skewered just as hard as TikTok if a hostile beast like Musk is at the helm.

Eating the rich is inevitable.

Modva ,

He will transition into a despot and warmonger next, and then move into weapons. Lot of money to be made there.

Sounds like exactly the guy you want owning a huge societal discussion platform and developing brain interfaces.

Blum0108 ,

Don’t forget about the humanoid robots!

Zwiebel ,

Downvote because Musk isn’t world news

YeetPics ,

Oh thank God, you saved the day 🤡

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Let’s not get into the fact he’s worth more than the GDP of most nations and has more international impact, or that he’s an American citizen commenting on British politics and being reacted to officially by Britain.

Elon is so dumb, he doesn’t even know the difference between the UK and the US.

The fact that the UK were the biggest colonisers in history, has the audacity to say that, just shows how much of a clowny buffoon muskrat really is.

CanadaPlus ,

Wait, the UK is the one on the brink of civil war? Yeah, that’s dumb even by his standards. Stop reading shitty conspiracy blogs, Elon. If there was a child trafficking cabal you’d already be in it.

cynthorpe ,

Political unrest is how he gets his money!

DragonTypeWyvern ,

The most confusing thing is that it’s not! He’s not in the MIC!

Yet.

Elon wants war because he wasn’t able to delete this picture from the internet forever. Don’t be embarrassed Elon

News articles should start using this picture whenever they mention him, or that one where he’s balding and looks like a meth addict.

Just a little gender supporting hair care.

His villain origin story is that he couldn’t fit in with goths or furries, then got mad at his trans daughter.

CanadaPlus ,

That’s actually not too cringe by Elon standards.

Ngl, want that jacket.

“Civil war is inevitable” says guy who does everything he can to start one.

gibmiser ,

Soon he will announce his new company, VaultTech

Gork ,

Nah it needs an X in it for it to be a company of his.

VaultX

Sounds like a porn site specialising in vintage porn.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

New business idea, made by ME

Trademarked!

palordrolap ,

He must be scared of his parents - or scared of losing an inheritance - because he hasn't changed his own name to have an X in it yet.

Ex-lax Mux certainly has a ring to it, don't you think?

fraksken ,

Teslax?

Gork ,

Pretty sure that’s a laxative

Lost_My_Mind ,

Which is fine, because elon is so full of shit.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Can’t be a good product then.

Lost_My_Mind ,

Does he not realize that the left ALSO have guns? And if this war does take place, he’s in the top 10 of people who would be targeted? Does he not get this?

IchNichtenLichten ,
@IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world avatar

Dickhead’s talking about the UK though. Not a whole lot of firearms around outside of farmer’s shotguns.

Lost_My_Mind ,

…well thats even dumber than I thought!!! May as well claim everybody is going to shoot rockets at each other.

If any country is on the brink of civil war, it’s the US.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Can’t wait for my ideology to rise from the irradiated ashes!

solsangraal ,

LOL elon would retreat to his nuclear defense bunker within a heartbeat of the breakdown of social order

actually probably way before that

thefluffiest , (edited )

If you’re still on Twitter, you’re part of this problem. If you have a Tesla, sell it. You can live without Starlink too. And do you really need that new Mars rocket?

kent_eh ,

Never had any of those but I still get subjected to tales of this idiot’s latest brainfart on a daily basis.

ThePyroPython ,

We don’t have enough firearms in private hands evenly distributed to have a civil war you fucking nepo-silverspoon-lollipop!

Maybe you should be looking at your own country for that and I wonder where the nutjobs are that would kickstart that would hear their misinformed reason? I’ll give you a clue, it used to rhyme with Shitter!

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

you fucking nepo-silverspoon-lollipop!

I wish Americans could insult with the skill that British people insult.

ThePyroPython ,

It’s a cultural skill developed over many centuries where armies stood on opposite ends of a field and insulted eachother before the charge happened.

Here’s a breakdown of the aforementioned insult:

“You Fucking” used as a layup for whatever follows. It is best to exclude swears for subsequent words unless you intend to punctuate the end with a worse swear. The only one up from “Fuck” is “Cunt” without getting into slurs.

“Nepo” shorthand for nepotism, this is the personal attack element and should be first in the insult. If you imagine stabbing someone with words, this is the one that breaks through the skin. It also has two syllables so it can follow on well from “fucking” which also has two.

“Silverspoon-lollipop” is the final thrust of the insult deep into their soul. This has three elements:

  • It is a second personal attack that is closely related to the first as it denotes inherited wealth.
  • It is the first part of “silverspoon-lollipop”. This paints the image in one’s mind of Elon having a silverspoon stuck up his arse and therefore making him a human lollipop (popsicle). Creating an absurd and humiliating visual of your opponent is a good way to inject a healthy dose of comedy which is THE key ingredient to any good putdown. Lollipop, as an inherently silly-sounding word, is the punchline again because of the absurdity of feeling destroyed by being called a lollipop.
  • Both sets of words have the same number of syllables. This gives the insult a good rhythm: 2-2-3-3.

In closing, this is a skill that can be learnt it just requires practicing a few rules-of-thumb:

  • Target weaknesses and personal flaws in your opponent that they can’t deny.
  • Warp those flaws into an absurdity that adds comedy.
  • Be sparing with swears and use them as layups or punctuation.
  • Think about syllables and rhythm like one would do in a rap or roast battle. If it’s too long, split it into multiple insults.
  • Keep in mind your cultural sensitivities. For example, in the UK it’s pretty universal that the only swears more offensive than “Cunt” are ethnic and cultural slurs. I also learnt from my Romanian friend that a lot of the worst insults from there are centred around the mother or the sister.
  • If use your cultures’ sayings and idioms, which are more widespread in English than people realise, as shorthand.
  • Practice, practice, practice.

Use these guidelines and you’ll have your enemy’s soul demoralised and destroyed their therapist will need a therapist. Happy insulting, ya bastards! 😊

Like, okay, but you don’t need that for a civil war.
