Facepalm

What the actual fuck does this loser clown think he’s resisting?!

I am tired of Elon’s lies. I did NOT watch Divergent!

It's mind blowing that he saw this meme and thought it represented him

Does... Does he think his side is the resistance?

So, I'm obligated to be that guy.

A big part of the Hunger Games plot was Katniss wooing rich donors into backing her underdog campaigns, first as a contestant and then as a true revolutionary.

Mon Mothma was a mega-wealthy Corriscant socialite who built an underground financial network capable of financing the rebellion.

And those are just the fictional reflections of real historical revolutionary struggles. Class Traitors are a pivotal part of any anti-capitalist narrative and for good reason. A rebellion marches on its stomach.

Musk is still a coked-up ego-maniacal dipshit. But the idea that you just need a bumper crop of angry poor people to revolutionize a society has an extensive list of empirical refutations.

I'm 14 and this is deep

You watched Star Wars and sided with the resistance

Sided with the group against the politician who manufactured threats to rile up their base enough to vote him limitless power in government that he used to make himself forever emperor and turning the democratic Republic into a xenophobic, fascist authoritarian society which draws loose parallels with nazism? So much to the point that when declaring himself the emperor, Padme outright says "So this is how democracy ends..."

You're goddamn right I sided with the resistance in that regard

It's hilarious that Republicans/Conservatives see themselves as the resistance. Like when did helping people and trying to provide better lives for the needy and taxing the rich and corporations become "radical"? I'm thinking they don't actually know what a lot of these words mean. We already know they have no understanding what "woke" means, unless they do and they just don't care, which could also be true.

Someone should put this text over that goth picture of him he hates so much.

One of the richest men in the world calling the Trump campaign a resistance is kind of ironic.

Au contraire, mon frere, in most of these movies the VILLAN was the one with power and unlimited resources. Just. Like. Elon.

And Elon - you have cited movies designed to manipulate the audience into siding with the rebels, not the oligarchs. Y'all want a better metaphor from pop culture? Try The Sopranos, Dexter, or the SAMCRO bunch - they're truly amoral shitbags designed to appeal to the downtrodden masses. So go murder Big Pussy, wrap his corpse in a carpet, and dump him in the bay. That's how you get people to cheer for you.

With apologies to all the Big Pussies out there who are about to get whacked by Elon's populist quest. (Cause he reads this thread.)

One of the most delusional people of our time.

Man-child is the richest man in the world and still has to conjure up conspiracies and shadowy cabals to excuse why he doesn’t have even more.

God I wish filters could read images, sick of seeing this dumb cunts face.

This is how rich people see themselves tho, and it's important to pay attention to that. They all think their a small cadre of radical hold outs fighting an evil government trying to exercise over regulation. They think they're the rebels from star wars.

It's always cringy when right wingers compare fictional movies to real life scenarios. Especially when they're the type that doesn't trust THE MEDIA. Like b*tch, this ain't even pretending to be real. Then they pretend to be experts on American history but they can't find any real life events to compare it to. Glen Beck was big on this

What is this resistance he thinks he's a part of?

Also, don't the robots have a genuine, justified grievances against humanity in The Matrix?

what a fucking dumbass man... it's actually pissing me off. how can you be so bad at everything? like is there nothing in this world that your smooth ass brain can actually process?

It's almost as if we don't live in a fictional universe, Elon, yet you still try hard to be the villain.

What a weird, clueless little dweeb

The tool doesn’t have the self-awareness that billionaires are petty, wealth- and power-hoarding tyrants needing to be resisted against, and he’s one of them.

Jeezus Christ. Can't he move to Mars already?

King of actively stoking a civil war

Someone should tell him what happens during real revolutions. Let’s take the French Revolution for example…

The funny thing is that the resistance in The Matrix was pro-trans as is The Matrix (a trans allegory according to the writers)

A literal princess was part of the resistance.... I'm just saying those ships didn't come from nowhere...

The lack of introspection is astounding.

Probably comes down to "B b but gubment bad."
