But, trump will fix it! 'We're going to start by going after the criminals and the dangerous people who are here.' Essentially, that includes Trump and his chosen team

He is constantly insulted everywhere else as well. Cause's he's a pathetic fuckwit.

The two people that are running our government are both active substance abusers and almost certainly child abusers. We live in the darkest timeline.

I don't know why anybody is still on Twitter, but if you are, you may as well do some good. Drive a wedge between Trump and Musk, another wedge between the wealthy and the poor, between racists and conspiracy theorists, between Evangelicals and Catholics. Any slight gap; drive a wedge! Divide and Conquer!
CaptCrobar
The riches man in the world subjects himself to this instead of living the life that everyone else dreams of. Why is he here?? Why isn't he traveling the world, in a different country, every day... he has more than enough money to do it. Why is he HERE!!!

I might get a Twitter account just to join in

Never thought about it before, but considering the idea that got him a bit famous, "posted from Earth" is kind of a sick burn on him.
mohavewolfpup
Maybe he needs to go to his office and cry about it, put on his red and black arm band also…
PileOfWalthers
Imagine getting dragged on the platform you spent billions to buy. Still not enough reason for me to be on there.
BlackHoleSon01
Not only did he spend billions, he lost billions more when it's value tanked because he's such a dick.
keelindsey
Elon, you are constantly insulted off this platform as well. You're a douchebag. That's what happens.
Lulabel73
The one thing I like about Elon is he allows people to insult him on X. Well I assume that, I’m not on Xwitter
LaffertyDanie1
Well stop be so insultable
d3jake
A figurehead of camp "fuck your feelings" sure is having a lot of feelings.

If Elon is now a part of the government, then his banning people is government censorship and is a violation of the 1st Amendment.

Oh, Leon, you're insulted everywhere else too, you just don't see those.

From a legal standpoint, since Leon will soon be a part of the government, he will no longer be able to block anyone due to equal access laws. But since laws are now meaningless, it's a nothingburger.
kInADress
Oh, but you're insulted on most platforms though
kInADress
You fucking piece of shit

I met a person whose current CTO or CFO? worked at PayPal with muskrat. Part of the PayPal gang apparently. And he has said to many a people and to this person I met that muskrat does ketamine, ALOT. Not therapeutically just a lot. Currently doing it a lot. While that stuff is extremely beneficial and useful in trauma therapy, when it’s abused it can really fuck with your brain. Like melt your brain.

At a festival once u did a combo of coke and K and I NEVER felt so disassociated in my life. And that was supposedly a better version that 100% K. Not terrible, but I felt OUT OF CONTROL of myself in a way mushrooms or acid never did to me. ( I never overdue it on psychedelics. )
ThankYouForYourTime
You’re also highly suggestible under its influence, so I wonder what kind of content/advice/info he’s consuming while in the infinite k-hole
Sonicschilidogs
Infinite K-hole was what we used to call John's mom in High School.... I miss Karen, I wonder if she's doing okay?
xenjamin
Probably not.
dororoxz
Concerning to hear, especially given Musk's influence and responsibilities. Substance abuse can impair judgment, leading to questionable decisions that affect many lives.
ssjalhazred
Remember when he changed his profile pic to JC Denton and the whole site roasted his ass screaming "you absolute moron, you idiot, why would you ever think you are the protagonist of a story where the villain is the richest man in the world, how tone deaf can you possibly be?" I'm convinced that particular occurrence was the largest contributor to his burning need to be seen as the meme maestro.
ssjalhazred
(For those of you unfamiliar with Deus Ex and would like some context, JC Denton is the protagonist, no surprise that Elon sees himself as the hero. The story is fairly complex, but it becomes apparent about halfway through that the villain is *the richest man in the world,* a tech bro who has used his wealth to put his friends into important positions in various world governments and is working on AI research.)

With all the moaning he does, he very much does. He still has the mentality of a 15 year old grade school student - self image is everything to him.
Subtilico
Made? Try hoarded. Or stole. He did not create 200 billion in value.

It's better that everyone even slightly left-leaning (or even actual "centrist") leave X promptly. Without other targets to attack, the right-wing there will devolve into in-fighting at an accelerated pace.

He made this face about his trans daughter disowning him
cepheidvariable
From what I've been seeing lately, he's losing his mind, relative to his default state of mind. While the counter-bullying against him certainly contributed, something I haven't seen yet, has pushed him off the edge and he's pissed off and scared, because he has lost control of something he personally held dear.
thedudeman519
Happens to the best of us. Happens to Elon , too .
FaecalJacksonPollock

Xenarion
His base turned against him when you talked about "importing" skilled workers.
SteveMND
What has he lost control of that he personally held dear? I assume you're not talking about Twitter, because that was always just a means to an end. With Twitter's recent changes, he may be losing control of something he held USEFUL, however, so I'll give you that much.
As with all narcissists, Musk, like Trump, only holds one thing—and one thing ONLY—as being dear to him: himself.
cepheidvariable
His fanbase, mainly. It seems like MAGAs and Tesla fanatics are turning on him. But yeah, Twitter was useful to him, and losing control of that loosens his grip on a lot of stuff.
GOAE
I imagine he valued his three wives at some point. I bet it cut real deep when every single one of them divorced him, particularly his divorce with Grimes seemed to significantly change his behavior for the worse. One of his wives even divorced him twice to really get the message across I guess. And then when one of his kids came out as trans, Elon initially supported them, until they turned on him then he became super anti-trans. I think him realizing he's unlovable truly broke him.
Mikeiller
He's loosing his reputation as a cool guy. At one point, even here on Imgur we talked about him being awesome. Now he just looks sad and pathetic.
SteveMND
In fairness, he had already lost his "cool guy" reputation quite some time ago. Most everyone in the general public used to think he was some forward-thinking philanthropist innovator until he completely abandoned that curated facade online and started showing his real personality.
SteveMND
(Outside his rabid fan base, of course -- he can do no wrong as far as they are concerned)

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy
denimdenis
I think this phrase has always been wrong in my mind. Shouldn’t it be “couldn’t happen to a worse guy” in that he is the biggest piece of shit in the world and there is no one worse than him…
VayaKahvi
Well there are nicer guys that Musky Boy, but things like this usually don't happen to people nicer than him.
cyanideregina
From a Brit (southern) its a sarcastic statement of "this person is an asshat and deserves every bit of karma currently slapping them in the face".
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Maybe because of his intensified entanglement with politics. Now that he's actively involved and not just playing memelord/cheerleader for fascism, he's getting serious pushback by some people who are equally ruthless and experienced in pursuing their agenda.
That Brazilian judge forced him to comply, he's dealing with MAGA nationalists opposing his plans of exploiting foreigners, the EU is getting increasingly pissed off at him personally...
cepheidvariable
Truth told, the man always came across as someone suffering from a perpetual episode of mania, and only now just crashing. For the longest time, he thought he could do anything, he thought he was a super hero, that he was the greatest person alive, nothing could stop him! Typical feelings some people going through mania would feel. I know my manic episodes are like that. But then he encountered something he doesn't know how to do, and is suffering the crash, the irritation, anger, and so on.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Except - unlike most people with mania - he was living in a constructed environment filled with people enabling and supporting his delusions.
You can see the cracks whenever he was forced to operate outside this safe space and people he couldn't control told him no. Like when those cave divers in Thailand rejected his submarine idea and he exploded.
cepheidvariable
I actually wonder how he'd have turned out had people not helped enable things as much. I heard stories about Tesla and/or SpaceX where more work was put into "managing" him than managing the actual company. And the lack of that kind of management is what lead to the rapid downfall of Twitter, since he just forced everything, good or bad, with no one to stop and explain to him what would happen.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
We'd probably know him as that crazy South African business dude, who does the business equivalent of buying a new expensive sports car every time he gets bored and then wrecking them within a month.
If he hadn't been born rich, we might not know him at all, but people in Cape Town might know him as a shady used-car salesman who breaks off the emblems off the hoods of his cars, puts his own logo there, and then pretends he made them.
PTKrieg
Admittedly, dude's got a lot of stress; he broke the law buying a political party, and now he's about to get in a street fight with that party over H1B visas. Not everyone can handle a "victory or death" situation with quiet dignity and grace.
cepheidvariable
And, given his history with regards to immigration, legal immigrant status, and other things, and all the value of the stuff he owns, I can imagine he's also going to be(or already is) a target of Trump's immigration/deportation policies.
PTKrieg
It's pretty wild, since A) Trump's got Musk on immigration violations and finance crimes, and can in theory black bag his ass 2 seconds after getting sworn in, but B) Musk, at least in theory, has some extremely damaging leverage on congress and the broader GOP, given the DOGE bullshit and how fast he seemed to be able to shut down the protests against the Trump cabinet. Potential mutually assured destruction situation in play.
mrthewhitee
I don't think it's dirt. It's money and influence. As of right now, Musk and Trump are partners, and no one in Congress wants to be the one blamed for Musk pulling his support/money from Trump/gop.
Musk is too dumb and ham fisted to have actual compromising information.
Greymalum
The leopards are coming for him. As long as he serves Russia's purposes, he will be allowed to live. However, no one really likes him except other horrible people. It must be lonely knowing no one wants to know you because they already know enough.
denimdenis
It’s quite inconceivably difficult to imagine being a billionaire and being such an isolated shitbag. ‘Money can’t buy love’ they say, but you pretty much can buy it, or at least a very good illusion of it. But to end up being such a weird creepy unlikeable incel like him, with his resources available, is quite astounding
ID1746
Likely the illusion is slowly fading for him. He's throwing money left & right, but the people don't stay his 'friends'/loyal or keep asking for more. Might be he got a realization of loneliness that he knows can't be filled no matter how many billions he throws. He desperately wants to be the fun/popular guy & for a while he was (when most saw him as the funky tech billionaire) but now more & more people are turning against him, despite all the money he throws their way.
ReaperCDN
You know it's really sad. He could be actually lauded as a great person if he put that wealth to good use and did things he said he was going to do, like end world hunger. Imagine having that accolade on your shoulders. "Oh what did I do this year? I ended starvation on the planet. Yeah, I'm kind of a big deal."
ssjalhazred
You have to understand that people like him are so detached from reality by their privilege they're effectively just as, if not more, brainwashed than the people they put all that effort into brainwashing. He genuinely believes all the things he *has* done are good, so he legitimately can't understand why so many people hate him, and why the people who like him only seem to like him based on political lines. He's terrified that being a billionaire is all he's going to be remembered for.
denimdenis
Yep, instead now it’s: tweeted the rapiest/creepiest thing to Taylor Swift, Launched the ugliest vehicle known to man, and funded and aided the return of Nazism to mainstream Western world politics
