It’s a fake guys. Don’t be so naive.
Fact-check

[–] whoami@lemmy.world 63 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I should've probably clarified this is satire - what's most amusing to me, however, is the fact that this requires a fact check to begin with

My first thought was "I don't think it's real, but it could be"

Man is more unpredictable than a baboon on a lethal dose of flakka

yeah my first thought was fake, but then.... he's so fucking stupid and insane... whatever. Never really used twitter, def dont now. Just watchin with popcorn. Enjoying the fall.

Right? If I saw a screenshot from Elon saying "I believe the solution to world hunger is to grind orphans and poor people into sausages," I'd have to check if it were true because dude is unhinged.

Is that not why he's on such a mission to increase birth rates?

[–] b3nsn0w@pricefield.org 42 points 1 year ago (2 children)

the real one isn't better tbh (tl;dr: he originally tweeted that 'cis' and 'cisgender' are slurs, also many links are down because of his whole rate limit policy)

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 21 points 1 year ago

That’s far worse. I’ll take egotistical vanity over transphobia any day.

[–] Th4tGuyII@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Literally any words could be made a slur dependent on how you use them. It's the ones that are near universally a slur, such as the N word, that anyone should care about.

The fact he didn't feel the need to censor cisgender would be enough to tell you on what level that "slur" actually is.

[–] b3nsn0w@pricefield.org 2 points 1 year ago

or he just wanted to use slurs. i mean it's elon musk, you can't discount that possibility

[–] Rayspekt@kbin.social 20 points 1 year ago

So it's fine to spam "Grimes left you"? Gotcha

[–] Xeelee@kbin.social 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have a few more slurs for him to ban:

"Emerald mine owner"

"Slave labour profiteer"

"Your daughter hates you"

"Minus two thirds valuation"

"Still no self driving"

Except I've left Twitter long ago. Too bad.

[–] b3nsn0w@pricefield.org 16 points 1 year ago

"still no self driving" lmao

on that note, where is the 2020 roadster?

"Free speech platform"

They're not even spreading misinformation!

[–] lugal@lemmy.one 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Twitter is happier without me.

No: I am happier without Twitter

Twitter is happier without twitter

Dudes got thin skin.

[–] cacheson@kbin.social 21 points 1 year ago

What a fucking cisgender.

"Free speech absolutist"

[–] flat@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Elon is literally the opposite of free speech, yet he claims to love it. Fucking hypocrite.

[–] Dark_Blade@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I can’t read tweets anymore, so I’ just gonna assume this is 100% legit

[–] ZILtoid1991@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

This post was fact checked by true Dark Brandon acolytes

It's fake but we wish it was true

[–] Yaxoi@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

This is just sad

[–] Rdenno@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Misinfo flair?
