or one of his people did it
Delete Musk.
Shift-delete.
Put the drive in a hydraulic press.
“Well, one lesson I’ve learned is that just because I say something to a group and they laugh doesn’t mean it’s going to be all that hilarious as a post on X,” he wrote Monday, adding later, “Turns out that jokes are WAY less funny if people don’t know the context and the delivery is plain text.”
The owner of Twitter is learning how text-based communication works in realtime before our eyes.
Slash he surrounded himself with people absolutely willing to step on one another to gain power and wealth so of course they’re going to laugh at all of his “jokes”
probably one of the lawyers told him to cool it.
He’s incredibly paranoid and conspiracy minded. He probably realized after “just asking questions / joking” that “they” might send a few of these guys for him next! 2spooky4him
Turns out some things simply aren’t funny. Not posting a thought right when it comes to your head also helps.
“I wAs JoKiNg!”
If only the Bible said something about this.
Now we need people to read and remember what their book actually says.
IDGAF what the bible says
Well IDGAF what you GAF about

Is Elon a Christian?
Not that I’m aware of, but a lot of his new followers are.
Thanks. A handy verse to throw in the face of those who claim to be Christians.
- lots of negative blowback: “it was a joke!”
- not that much negative blowback, at least initially: “yeah I meant that”
aka Schrodinger’s douchebag.
That’s always the lame cover up.
You think the Secret Service got the joke?
I wouldn’t be surprised if he got a visit. Any of the rest of us might have for statements like that.
Any of the rest of us …
I think you have answered your own question.
Lol at “the context”. Bitch, WHAT context would make it any better?
I’m sure the yes men he surrounds himself with was “the context”.
Being in a room full of nazis would make that “joke” a total thigh-slapper.
At 53 years old
And being surrounded by yes men. And by right wing nutjobs.
Lots of regular people know thats its risky to send a sarcastic text
Sometimes I’m feeling bold and leave out the /s. You gotta keep it spicy.
I can just see him making his “joke” then doing that annoying over the top laugh with all his sycophants grinning along.
A fucking moron, truly.
Elon has been such a jackass this year.
There was never a time when he wasn’t a jackass. He just abandoned his job of running companies in exchange for being a full time dumbass.
He was always a jackass, he just used to be a quiet jackass that nobody ever heard from so we couldn’t tell. Now that he is fully incapable of shutting the fuck up, his jackassery is on full display.
I am trying to figure out what I can say without it sounding like I am asking for someone to be shot.
XX, formerly known as Musk.
He’s way older than 20 maybe LIII? or XXXXXIII
If I’m honest, and bear in mind that I HATE ELON MUSK, I don’t think he was calling for anyone’s assassination. He is just such an idiot that he didn’t realize that his attempt at a fabricating a conspiracy would be misconstrued as such a call.
I’ve heard that autistic people are usually more concerned with justice than the average person. Is it because they’re really bad at hiding unjust meaning behind their words?
Narcissists tho care less about justice and more about revenge. Guess which aspect dominates his personality?
Thank goodness nobody saw it.
“Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?”
Damn, made this joke too late
If it’s any consolation, I saw yours first, so this other guy is copying you as far as I’m concerned!
So only free speech for the moment?
Elon Musk after somebody invents time travel: “why is everybody only going back in time to assasinate Hitler???”
Exactly.
It is odd that this man has any government contract, let alone any national security contract with the United States government
Indeed. He seems like a dangerous and unstable individual. Shouldn’t he be on a watchlist instead?
Yeah… spend some time actually interacting with people with clearances. They are people just like any other so you have some humans and some deranged chuds. And everyone in positions of power are either political appointees (elected or otherwise) or ladder climbers who want to suckle on the teat of those appointees.
So when you point out that someone is actively cheering for russia in a conflict with our allies or is openly calling people slurs? You get told that people are allowed to have political opinions and you are the problem. Because YOU are the reasonable person who will drop it. Whereas they will then bitch and moan that someone in IT has “blue hair” and whine until a local politician runs on that and suddenly everyone has very strict dress codes.
Which, in turn, leads to people leaving in droves which just leaves the shitheads and the appeasers.
I’ve actually had clearances and government contracts. I’ve seen them pulled for much less than what Elmo did here.
Not for the upper managers though, right? I’ve also had clearances, and I know about some shocking things that some of the government managers did while never so much as being investigated for them.
Contractors are different though.
Know of a company that misrepresented a product to the government. When the government found out they frooze all purchases from them for 3 years. Once that was found out, wall street crashed their stock. After that happened, the CEO was fired.
Which is a completely different topic.
starlink works… if it isn’t out in the sun for too long. spacex works… for the purposes of what the actual contracts are for.
the issue is musk being highly likely to be compromised and openly calling for the rape and murder of people he doesn’t like. Which gets back to “politics is allowed and you are the intolerant one” level responses.
The DoD has wanted a Starlink network for a long time. I think we should nationalize SpaceX, of course paying Elmo fair value.
I mean, nationalized spacex is just NASA again. Which I am all for since spacex (and blue origin and the other one) mostly just came out of poaching staff from NASA and JPL in the first place.
Elon Musk deletes his stochastic terrorism tweet.
The best thing that could come from the Harris election is cut ALL Musks government contracts.
Seize his companies in the name of national security.
We’ve already got sailors on our warships using Starlink to circumvent restricted internet access.
If it’s an official action there’s no legal consequences for it.
Won’t someone rid me of this meddlesome

Well, one lesson I’ve learned is that just because I say something to a group and they laugh doesn’t mean it’s going to be all that hilarious as a post
Isn’t that literally a Miss Manner’s lesson?
I don’t buy it. I wanna see who the “joke” was shared with originally along with details about the additional “context”.
Tfw you censor your own free speech on your “free speech” platform
