To be fair Vernon did say Elon could shove the sub up his ass.
Why Vernon had such a negative impression of Elon I don't think we've exactly found out. Might have something to do with a billionaire inserting himself and disrupting experienced professionals planning a rescue.
He went off the deep end not so much when he did this as when he won the defamation case against him because Lin Wood(!) was the plaintiff’s attorney and fucked up the case
Lin Wood won the case for Richard Jewell, the 1996 Atlanta suspect (and definitely not bomber) at the Olympics and several gay nightclubs, and then went crazy at about the same time. I think he assaulted an associate? And I think Lin Wood was always smarter than Apartheid Clyde.
Ha yes, was musing on that moment just the other day. Utterly baffling behaviour; or it would be if the system hadn't been bent even further to permit this rubbish without consequence from the baronial class...
Well he's trying to keep up his lead in followers by posting whatever controversial things he can with an average of 83 posts a day. So great to hear every slimy thought, not!
And he's gone back to that "pedo" well often. It's his go-to move. Don't like someone? They're a "pedo"! Emotional maturity frozen in the 2nd grade, and that's being generous.
He apparently always sucked, but Musk’s carefully cultivated public persona really started to crumble after that twitter exchange, the time he appeared on Rogan and smoked weed, and the original Cybertruck announcement.
Name calling, denigration and arrogance are three of the traits people with narcissistic personality disorder display. Their exploitative behavior and need for admiration are also on display with Musk. He's a textbook case.
Power, money, & access to social media platform reflect a devolution in recent years, downstream of ketamine, rejection by a transgender child, & toxic media diet, but he was already swimming there. The journalism of beat reporters like @lorak.bsky.social suggests this was always who he was.
I came here to read this. I heard that quote on Kara Swisher’s podcast right before the election. Since then, I keep thinking about it every time I read news about these people…
I never paid much attention to Elon Musk before the cave incident. Then it struck me how *stupid* his “invention” was (and that didn’t actually exist for a time-sensitive emergency). That his response was to call the cave expert (who rather kindly said no thanks) a pedo (???) was just illuminating
It’s the equivalent of when a friend of mine was told that his liver enzymes were high and stopped drinking for a month, so they went back to normal, and he took the exact wrong lesson that his heavy drinking was kosher. It’s sad in his case, and scary in elno’s.
I keep having this irking thought about the guard rails holding, that some government entity will see his bonkers threats to random civil servants and regulatory agencies and say, hey - this guy is a menace. Maybe he should be debarred, maybe that's a crime ... And yet.
The fact that no one went for the break-glass-in-case-of-emergency handbook after it came out he deliberately sabotaged a Ukrainian offensive feels like it was the end.
One of the biggest restrains on government (that we should eliminate) is that their ability to subpoena/gather info from the private sector is intentionally hobbled, hence why it takes years for an agency to build a case.
It’s not well discussed but fixing this would speed things up considerably.
Which is sad, because he has the money to be on the best drugs, and he hangs out with other weirdos like Peter Thiel and Dan Bongos who clearly have a connect.
I remember how Musk inserted himself when those children were trapped in that cave.
They told him thanks, no thanks, and Leon lost his shit.
The Thai Navy rescued those children and lost some of their own in the process.😢
But Leon had to make it all about him and insult the true helpers.
a year or two before this, he instructed Tesla security in Nevada to swat a whistleblower he had been fixated on and tweeting about, with the company fraudulently telling the police that the whistleblower threatened to shoot up Tesla.
He's been off the rails for longer than most realize
I kept thinking that a normal person would say "Hey, I have an auto plant, equipment to quickly fabricate stuff and a staff of engineers and rocket science. We're all behind you and if you can think of any way we can help, please let us know" instead of needing to be the main character.
I have still never been able to get over that Musk dared — dared — to call that amazingly humble, gracious, and generous British diver (whose name is Vernon Unsworth) such a vile defamatory epithet.
It's time for skeletons to start falling from Musk's closet. They're there, no doubt about it.
He didn't take a Saudi loan for Twitter. The one private Saudi millionaire who has a stake (HRH Prince Alwaleed bin Talal) has been a major investor in Twitter since 2015.
He’s a bonafide schmuck.
What an anencephalic twatwaffle he is. All the money in the world, and he’s still an awkward, skeevy, unlikable, walking sexual harassment lawsuit, and primo dork.
reminder this is the guy who nutered the block system which could prevent you from seeing lolicon and removed the ability to see likes of people who like lolicon, btw he made fun of the people reporting csam content on bluesky and getting it banned as "hall monitors"
It's almost as though he doesn't even know what the word means. He just thinks it's a generic insult, like asshole, and he and his ilk are rendering it almost meaningless when it is truly one of the most horrific of human behaviors. Despicable.
I literally thought this was like the last name of some Russian political thinker and was trying to figure out what this meant but omg this is so dumb. He’s so dumb. Omfg how does this man have any influence.
People who throw that vile accusation around would be the first people that should have their computer storage forensically checked. Bet they catch a lot of sickos.
The thing about Musk that is so obvious once you think about it is that he's dull. He's really not interesting. He's just a rich guy that thinks too highly of himself. Everything he says and does is entirely predictable and exactly what you'd expect for someone like him.
From Leon, whose mommy goes on the news to defend her precious son. Just feels icky. Just, I don’t know, seems like the umbilical cord is still attached.🧐
Talking to my Trump-supporting friend last week, I said something like, “Trump is unfit for office for many reasons, but him calling Gavin Newsom ‘Newscum’ is all anyone needs to know. You don’t give the job to a child.” My friend, who’s a smart guy, was like, “Yeah, well Newsom sucks.” 🙄
It’s the right’s favorite new tactic. Just call everyone who disagrees with you a pedo. The ironic thing is all these people calling others pedos have been photographed with Epstein.
Yeah, I tried to report actual CP on twitter along with rape videos against an adult woman & a corpse.
Elon's X said they don't violate community guidelines, no recourse.
Even facebook's automatic report system gives you the opportunity to ask for a second, human, review!
X sucks more than facebook!
I’ve never been accused of sexual harrassment. I haven’t abandoned families. I don’t brag about doing hard drugs while on the public teat. I don’t allegedy abuse a much younger pop singer by hiding their kids. I can be trusted around open drinks….
"During the reporting period of 1 January 2023, to 31 December 2023, TIUC took significant action in its fight against CSE. We suspended 12.4 million accounts for violations related to our CSE policies globally, a substantial increase from 2.3 million accounts in 2022."
If he didn’t have money, he’d be just another misogynistic, racist dude with sociopathic tendencies. With money he’s just a wealthy misogynistic, racist dude with sociopathic tendencies.
Reminds me that the first time I actually realised Musk’s character was when he insulted the guy who rescued those young footballers trapped in a cave by calling him a paedo.
Musk’s MO is insult/attack anyone who disagrees with you. It’s the tactic of an immature insecure individual.
It seems like his marketing strategy just revolves around baselessly mocking the competition. He criticized Twitter before acquiring it,called LinkedIn cringe before launching Twitter Jobs, and called fighter jets unnecessary for promoting drones (stupid af). Now, he's at it again with Bluesky.
I don’t know one normal guy that has ever even mentioned pedophilia, ever. Elon is way too obsessed with it. Very weird how much he accuses people of being a pedophile, unless of course, he is one!
There’s a podcast called Elon’s Spies, with extensive interview with the British diver he called “pedo guy” after his astonishing underwater cave rescue of a trapped team of young Thai footballers . Totally worth listening
You get a personal submarine you didn't ask for....You get a personal submarine you didn't ask for....Everybody gets a personal submarine you didn't ask for....
Who hurt me? The person who told me that ‘sticks n stones’ BS. What a betrayal. Those Musk words hurt. Bad. REAL BAD. Like a brick of truth to the nuts, ngl. I’m crying rn.
Jack Dorsey let a cool $billion ride on Elon's twitter. I hope he makes some of his losses back here. Elon has the emotional maturity of a donkey, except that may be insulting to donkeys.
And this is the "adult" in charge of cutting waste from government with the precision of a surgeon? Expect a chainsaw with lots of "collateral damage."
It's telling that I first saw this tweet on Bluesky... and neither on Threads nor Twitter.
I reshared it to Twitter though just now. We shall see whether or not any Elon bots would move to dogpile me. I suspect not, but who can really know or predict nowadays...
Honestly couldn’t give two shits. Had mostly stopped even thinking about his platform except when I was looking if someone I wanted to follow had come over.
I would suggest ignoring him. He wants the attention. You know, like a toddler.
Says the guy who is currently crushing on a certain creepy old orange man that bragged about ogling teens in beauty pageant dressing rooms and allegedly raped a 13-year-old girl.

Ah no we are going to stick with bill gates
And then wasn't forced to pay damages to the deep sea diver on the grounds that he didn't know what the word pedo meant...

He’s literally the physical version of the word weirdo.

Alternatively, since they're mostly Christians, Proverbs 23:7 says the same thing: "As a man thinketh, so is he."
And then all the other moments after then when nobody said no to him.

Whew there we go, had to squeeze that one out.
I swear
He should be, he should be very very afraid
#BlueSky is eating his lunch and e knows it.
(well, except in Elоn's case this is only true until the next one)

So, I don’t care if Elno calls me a pedo 🤷🏽♀️
