    Still painfully unfunny.

    I think part of the deal with being a good comedian (and you see it with JD Vance every time he delivers a crickets-laugh line for example) is that you have to be able to honestly laugh at yourself - these nutty egomaniacs like Musk and his hangers on have no ability to do this - they claim they're having fun and always say they're "just joking" when they try to insult people, but, yeah no, they see laughter as a form of weakness.

    Self decapitating humor is incredibly important for 21st century internet comedians.

    Wish many more self styled funny people would think seriously about pursuing that particular comedy style.

    Musk ramps up attacks on Brazil’s top judge as X faces possible suspension in the country


    De Moraes’ court announced Wednesday that it was ordering Musk and X Corp. to appoint a legal representative for the social media company, formerly known as Twitter, in Brazil within 24 hours,
    or X would face “penalty of suspension of activities” there.

    A suspension of X in Brazil could cause serious business problems for the already embattled social network. Brazil has a population of more than 171 million active social media users,
    according to market research by Oosga.

    On Wednesday night, Musk posted a manipulated image that appeared to show the judge behind bars.
    Musk wrote to de Moraes and Musk’s 195.8 million listed followers on X.

    On Thursday, reports from G1 Globo in Brazil had revealed that de Moraes had ordered “the freezing of all financial assets” of Musk’s companies in Brazil, including SpaceX-owned Starlink,
    to “guarantee the payment of fines” the court had levied against X.​

    Twitter might go bankrupt in 5 years.

    Joker couldn't write a better script.

    I love the "OMG we're just now today figuring out who Elon Musk is! This is horrible! I don't think I like this guy!"

    Elon Musk suggests support for replacing democracy with government of ‘high-status males’
    The theory suggests that the only people able to think freely are ‘high [testostrone] alpha males’ and ‘aneurotypical people’

    Elon Musk has used his large platform on X to promote a theory that a free-thinking “Republic” could only exist under the decision-making of “high status males” – and women or “low T men” would not be welcome in it.

    On Sunday, Musk re-posted a screenshot of the theory – which appears to have been conceived on 4chan in 2021– on the social media site.

    The theory, written by an anonymous user, suggests that the only people able to think freely are “high [testostrone] alpha males” and “aneurotypical people”, and that these “high status males” should run a “Republic” that is “only for those who are free to think.”

    “People who can’t defend themselves physically (women and low T men) parse information through a consensus filter as a safety mechanism,” the post reads.

    “Only high T alpha males and aneurotypical people (hey autists!) are actually free to parse new information with an objective ‘is this true?’ filter,” it adds. “This is why a Republic of high status males is best for decision making. Democratic, but a democracy only for those who are free to think.”

    “Aneurotypical” is not a word but one can assume the original poster meant neurodivergent people.



    Theories like this, which promote hegemonic masculinity, are often criticized for being sexist, exclusionary, not realistic and “toxic.” They are popular in alt-right communities.

    “Interesting observation,” Musk said, in response to the post.

    The screenshot of the theory was uploaded to X by an account called “AutismCapital” which often posts memes that appeal to right-wing individuals and support Musk’s endeavors.

    It claimed the theory was “also known as the Reich effect” - seemingly a reference to Robert Reich, the former Secretary of Labor, who wrote an op-ed in The Guardian last week claiming that Musk is “out of control” and needs to be stopped.

    Much of the account’s Sunday content was targeted at mocking Reich while defending the billionaire.

    For him, free speech and democracy are reserved only for people like him, not for others.

    Similar to people who preach equality then expect privilege.

    Confusing equality with privilege is common among those who refuse or are unable to see that some groups, ranging from women to working-class people, suffer from inequality.
