I'm still wondering if or when @warnerbrospictures.bsky.social is going to pull the episode of "The Big Bang Theory" with Musk from distribution and cut references to him from other episodes.

We’ve got to mock this racist Tech Bro TNUC until the cows come home. Just look who’s influencing your country all White South African’s Musk, Sachs, Tiel .

grantmountieofanna.bsky.social•126 days ago

@sethabramson.bsky.social has also wrote extensively about Nazi Musk.

orion-rahl.bsky.social•126 days ago

I agree with you on Musk. I think you give the incoming POTUS a little too much benefit of the doubt, though; he does not care about the country, only ego, power, and wealth. Let's hope he decides that supporting Ukraine aligns with those interests.

Elon is just looking for places to build factories with minimal worker's rights and regulations - to line his pockets. It's mad that otherwise sensible people can't see through Elon's snake oil. His failures are astonishing whilst his successes often distant from him personally.

pixelmixer2024.bsky.social•126 days ago

Spot-on, and 100% he’s lost it post COVID.

bobthomas2666.bsky.social•126 days ago

Musk possesses all the qualities one typically finds in a cult leader: narcissism, grandiose non specific ideas, belief that only a messianic figure such as themselves can save humanity, and a strong rationalization of eugenic concepts.

hippietrail.bsky.social•126 days ago

If only he had limited himself to just starting a normal cult like a normal cult leader.

blanonymous.bsky.social•126 days ago

Strong, clear statement, Jake—and truer than it should be. By the way, a hidden gem is also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCS0SuPsDH4 - A group of Aspies has taken a deeper look at his claims and justifications/excuses.

guillaume7273.bsky.social•126 days ago

musk is not an engineer ?
He's as much as Tony Stark: in a fantasy world 🙃

guillaume7273.bsky.social•126 days ago

A fabrication for sympathy, and a free check to be a despicable 14yo troll.

Pretending to have a problem independent of one's will and which opens new doors, is just a trend.

Funny enough, that's the closest thing to an appropropriation / coming out a far right propagandist can do.

myth-2.bsky.social•126 days ago

Wouldn’t surprise me.

bambabooze.bsky.social•125 days ago

Jake, Putin built 30 ish villages for YT South African farmers in Russia. Maybe Musk can go there? Don’t think anyone has taken Putin up on it, west of Moscow

Very clear. Well explained.

Just another pile on the backside of humanity. Bloated and fit to burst.

pingl.bsky.social•126 days ago

The only positive aspect is that it is sure to explode sooner than later. You can have two narcissists like Trump and him being able to share the Presidency for much longer. In Russia the Oligarchs not fully bending to Putin started to mysteriously disappear. Remember Trump now have total immunity.

cement-glove.bsky.social•121 days ago

ignoring a powerful figure can lead to problems. Musk is powerful and wreckles and that combination be taken seriously. Bolster for fallout.

maxsntsf.bsky.social•124 days ago

When will this mf disappear from this planet? Mars it's ready for him

north62dd.bsky.social•126 days ago

Elon could have been remembered as one of the greatest entrepreneurs of this era instead of turned into a full-time tweeting machine and became liability to his companies.

It’s hard to understand. Of course, can’t help if mental issues. What a waste…

yvettekaskonas.bsky.social•126 days ago

Musk has retraumerised the groomed children now older, interrupting any recovery gained.

Why does a grown man [Musk] put himself into this horrendous kind of child abuse?

Please go listen to "The Zeteo" podcast interviewing Nazir Afzal, UK Prosecutor of this case. He has prosecuted 1000s.

thepoosh.bsky.social•126 days ago

The reality is that the religious r*pe/grooming gangs in the UK are still widespread and for unknown reasons local powers (NOT THE GOVERNMENT) are barely going after them. But this would have been a new scandal no matter what Musk said.

ronfella.bsky.social•125 days ago

Does he think we will continue driving Teslas?

myth-2.bsky.social•126 days ago

Thanks Jake. If only Americans could have the same clarity.

scorpioniii.bsky.social•126 days ago

His followers are a group of non-interesting ppl sheepdogged by his bot army into tech-bro slave status.
When they try and get their actual money out they'll find it's unavailable Hawk-Tua!

Could it be interesting to compare Howard Hughes' life story to everything happening around Elon Musk today? Delusions of grandeur...?

kingstonlacey.bsky.social•126 days ago

Ian Hislop is not just a British journalist, he is a most sharp-tongued and clear-eyed satirist. He is highly revered by one group and hated by the others. Have a look at his brilliant rants on the BBC's Have I Got News For You. The Trafigura rant springs to mind:

musk is a drugged up hothead, yes he will blow
but how much damage will he cause before that happens?

crankshaft99k.bsky.social•126 days ago

Before Nov5 I was convinced the worst thing could happen was Trump got elected back into office. Now, Trump looks like the sane one next to President Musk.

The fact the world lets this happen really scares me!

guillaume7273.bsky.social•126 days ago

The world let this happen ? What do you mean ?

gcarty80.bsky.social•119 days ago

Don't you mean "the fact Americans let this happen"?

crankshaft99k.bsky.social•117 days ago

Also. But, USA is part of the world so they were implied.

crankshaft99k.bsky.social•117 days ago

I'm mostly surprised that some liberal leaders in the EU are fine to be the Trump bitch. Looking at you Rutte! Appeasing Hitler didn't work. So, deal with Putin!

I was a follower, but when he took a different path, I found myself still on a path of spaceships, sciencey things, and environmental issues—just a path without Musk Gland of Putain _rump.

fg8c.bsky.social•125 days ago

Since you live in Las Vegas Jake did you know about this? I don't have a good feeling about it. Skirting public review is not a good omen for this megalomaniac:

I'm not Musk fan but he is right about Legacy media...it's trash. But his shit is worse.

whangaroa.bsky.social•126 days ago

Thanks for sharing , Jake.
My only comment to Trump Musk voters would have to be,
" Have I got News for you"

markhathaway1.bsky.social•126 days ago

They stuck with Trump for years despite his sickness (narcissism) and drive to make money from the presidency while destroying (or selling off) U.S. policy.

I think there are plenty of gullible suckers out there for Musk. Though, if he tries to steal Trump's followers, there might be a fight.

cartoontomb.bsky.social•126 days ago

If anyone is here on BlueSky (other than for trolling), and still believes Musk is essentially a good guy, they are unsalvageable and should probably go back to Twitter.

guillaume7273.bsky.social•126 days ago

You can't blame people who would just enlarge their sources.

But it should lead them to the conclusion that musk is just a 14yo troll, whose abilities are to be born rich, and to master propaganda.

He DGAS about his followers, only the power they give to him.

cartoontomb.bsky.social•125 days ago

Actually, yes, I DO blame them. Because it wouldn't make things any better if he in fact did what he promised and "enlarged their sources", albeit still on the backs of underpaid workers and taking away the rights of minorities.

guillaume7273.bsky.social•125 days ago

I don't understand what this has to do with my message.
Diversifying your sources of information (whether it's Twitter, Bluesky, television, print media, etc.) is the bare minimum of a rational approach.
What do underpaid workers and minorities have to do with this?

cartoontomb.bsky.social•125 days ago

I misunderstood you message then, my bad. I thought you were talking about financial investments in Musk's projects.

guillaume7273.bsky.social•123 days ago

Ok, you mean source of income or something like that. Fair, i didn't specify my thoughts.

You hit Reichsführer fElon in his pocket book, not by debating him. Just banning his operations in civilized World would bankrupt him in a month. Look how quickly he begged Brazil. Loathe this apartheid nepobaby thug beyond any measure since I can remember him.

dumfriesdik.bsky.social•126 days ago

Ian Hislop is a very clever man and witty with it. I fear Musk may be the one to break Private Eye.

Jonathan Pie is pretty good on Musk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R19bBpUw-U (He pretends to be a journalist speaking his mind in the most acerbic way possible in the prerecorded segment of a live report.)
