Musk's bottomless narcissism would love the cool factor involved in association with something like The Onion, but he'd be stymied by the fact that his punching down edgelord pro fascism approach simply cannot be made funny, and is only ever suitable as the butt of jokes rather than the comedian.
Right wing people don’t understand satire.
Never forget that the W Bush administration hired Stephen Colbert to host the White House correspondents dinner, and he Colbert Report’d all over the place.
The next year, Rich Little hosted.
😆🤘
Musk, Thiel, and their network dismantling democratic institutions.
- JD Vance, MAGA heir,” is being positioned to help this transition.The public is too distracted to realize what’s happening.
If successful, democracy in America will be permanently replaced a corporate-run authoritarian state.
It seems pretty paranoid that he's now traveling with a phalanx of bodyguards and a medic — but then again, paranoia seems to be more central to his worldview than ever before.🐥 Elon Musk is a ChickenShit Just Like Bone Spurs Trump. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/efficiency...
Hoping those hair plugs stay in… Maybe you and the orange clown 🍊🤡could buy “the hair club for men” in your next acquisition. Two vile pigs in a pen.🐷💩🐷💩
Ben, how the fuck did you go from guy doing short segments here and there on disinformation for MSNBC to CEO of The Onion? I'm genuinely curious how that leap is made....maybe you're a business genius and I just didn't know you got down like that because it seems hella random otherwise
I believe humor starts with honest self-knowledge that admits, "Yeah, you know, I'm kind of a goof, but so is everyone else, and maybe that's okay, and we should all laugh at it."
People like Elon, who either can't introspect or refuse to admit what they find there, will never be funny.
Yeah that's exactly the case. Humor requires knowing what is real, what other people generally identify as true, and moving from there. And these guys are delusional and can't do that
God, the quotes about how Musk is such a big thinker LOL.
Anyway, Thud sounded like an insufferable venture and the world's likely better off without it. Not everything needs to be cranked up to 11. The Onion has always flourished without gimmicks like "let's build a fake museum wing" or whatever.
Thud is the sound made by beating the dead horse of every humorless half idea for a joke given as an example as of their “funny” bits which sound as edgy as a sphere
His excuse for backing out is such bullshit. He couldn't afford the liability of a satire project because he kept getting hit with defamation lawsuits for non-satirical things he did.
From what I've heard, he might be too highly leveraged to try something like that. Apparently his Tesla stake is the collateral for all kinds of loans, and it just keeps evaporating, day after day. Have no idea if it's true, but it's about the only hopeful thing I've heard in a while.
He tried.
We know alias used and he has about 20 we know of.
He was crying the last time. Heard him telling his grandmother how humiliated he was.
I was happy after that.
Sorry truth hurts Elon.
Nazi begets treatment as a Nazi sympathetic to Donald destruction of USA economy deserves no sympathy.
Berkeley was right about one thing in the article—when he said Musk was not about making a nice car, boy was he prophetic, either that or he was in on the Tesla hustle too.

Plz report that I am not mad lmao

Tale as old as time.
I'll give him a point for consistency, at least.

“The most successful project, DNA Friend, has around 2,000 followers across both platforms.”
I have over 2k followers here and zero billionaires back me.
I win.

I kind of like the direction they were looking to go in, but… thud.

(No pun intended.)
The fickle whims of a man who likes satire because an article mentioned his favorite planet.
