The fucking hubris. These mother fuckers really think we’re just gonna get on our knees because they’re rich, or roll over and die while they take over the world.

This world will be Elon’s tomb. He’s not gonna make it to Mars.

If we go to Mars it will be as free people, building a sustainable, egalitarian world where no one bows down to power hungry dictators.

If we go to Mars, they will keep earth.

What was the universe where distant planets were used as conc camps? Red Faction? Riddick?

[-] los_chill@programming.dev 6 points 1 week ago

The rich still die...

[-] seeigel@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

He’s not gonna make it to Mars.

He never intended to go to Mars. Remember the real reason for the moon mission and shudder.

Didn’t the wannabe fuhrer have a complete breakdown after this happened? I remember hearing that.

The shock of this absolutely pushed him further right, no question. He realized all his tech buddies hated his guts but there was nobody in his circle who would dare make him understand why. And that's why all billionaires are crazy.

Damn, shame it bounced back

“He got to a point where he locked himself in his office, was so upset that the Twitter employees were considering calling a wellness check by the San Francisco police because they thought he was going to self-harm himself,” Mezrich said in an interview Tuesday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box, Insider said.

Oh, no, Elon..... don't.... *goes back to work*

[-] phoenixarise@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Stories like these warm my heart. I hope it gets worse for him.

[-] phoenixarise@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Probably. He’s extremely insecure and sensitive. I hope it eats him alive.

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 85 points 1 week ago

Fuck you Chappelle, you got some money and decided you were better than everyone else. Imagine introducing "the richest man in the world" like it's some honor to share the same stage. Two fucking dirtbag pieces of shit rubbing wieners just hoping the monkeys will clap for them.

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 71 points 1 week ago

Elon Musk, Dave Chappelle, Joe Rogan, Justin Roiland, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro and a bunch of these guys must be on a group chat together I swear ...

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

A lot of them are in literal cults, or have sexual assault allegations against them

Eg Transcendental Meditation (based in Iowa): Ivanka, https://www.instagram.com/ivankatrump/reel/C4y3e-uO-IS/?hl=en Russell Brand (who also happens to fit in the sexual assault column too)

Tulsi and this other kind of niche cult (which she's never denounced): https://www.civilbeat.org/2024/12/senators-urged-to-examine-gabbards-deep-and-intense-ties-to-hawaii-sect/

Why is Justin Roland in that group? I thought he was just a sex pest. He's too poor to be with them.

[-] TylerBourbon@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

He was accidentally added to their Signal chat.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 56 points 1 week ago

This is when I realized Dave Chappelle officially sucked.

[-] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 56 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I already got one cause I posted the South Park scene in which they realize AIDS is funny now because it's been 22.3 years, but I replaced AIDS with 9/11 because it was the 22.3 year anniversary. It was up for over a year before, suddenly, it was promoting terrorism and had to be taken down immediately.

Fuck this world.

edit: Here it is on loops if anyone is curious. Pretty self-explanatory tho.

"Here comes the man who has more money than you can fathom, but still wants yours. Wait, why are you booing?"

Fuck 'em both.

[-] lack@lemmy.world 52 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I like how the booing even gets to a professional comedian used to hecklers and booing as part of his day job. That's how bad this was loooool

[-] Lupo@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago

He thought he could bring the crowd under control by controlling the pace, but everytime there was a lull in the funny, they saw Elon Musk and remembered to say fuck that guy

[-] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 week ago

Dave Chapelle got chaff for jokes about trans people that didn't land (probably because they were transphobic). Elon hates his trans daughter? I think that's why.

[-] Lupo@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

He bought Dave a jetpack for Christmas

[-] wwb4itcgas@lemm.ee 18 points 1 week ago

It's a sad indictment of the situation that your explanation is still miles better than any other I've been able to come up with.

[-] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

I'm kind of confused. Why is he on stage with Dave? Was this planned or was he randomly there?

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 42 points 1 week ago

Hasn't Dave been sus for a while now?

[-] Lupo@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Unfortunately, Dave became just another rich bitch, but, he still says some prophetic shit like, "His whole business model is fuck earth, I'm leaving anyways" or, "do you hear that sound Elon? That's the sound of pending civil unrest "

This was December 22 I think

[-] peregrin5@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Who is Dave? I'm out of the loop.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago

Dave Chapelle. He kind of went off the deep end a bit.

[-] Lupo@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago
[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

Yikes. From what I understand though, he grew up upper middle class. He said we always assumed that he grew up as a commoner, but that it wasn't true.

David Khari Webber Chappelle was born on August 24, 1973, in Washington, D.C.[11] His father, William David Chappelle III, was a professor of vocal performance and the dean of students at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio.[12] His mother, Yvonne Seon (née Reed, formerly Chappelle),[13] worked for Congolese Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba,[14] is a Unitarian Universalist minister,[15] and worked as a professor and university administrator at several institutions including Wright State University and Prince George's Community College.[16] Chappelle has a stepmother and a stepbrother.[3]

[-] Lupo@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

All true.

But he was and is the kind of guy makes you believe that he actually see the circumstances people are going through and even emphasized with it. He was a hero for turning down big money for his pride and integrity. He disappeared for a while and came back with sensible lessons from africa, even fought for and got the money he deserved for his work.

Then started the rich bitch behavior that culminated to bringing a dickwad like Elon on stage.

[-] rational_lib@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

He went to a HS in Georgetown - it's a public school but it's a super rich area so he probably grew up with mostly upper middle class white kids. I mean it's called "Duke Ellington School of the Arts" so you'd think it's in a black neighborhood but its actually deep in Georgetown where you don't see any (other) black people at all.

[-] peregrin5@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago

Oh yeah. He's been a POS for a while now.

[-] Lupo@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Surprise guest. And unwelcome

[-] answersplease77@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

is this recent? when was this event?

[-] Lupo@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago

Only because you asked nicely.

December 2022.

Contextually, I believe he just bought Twitter, fired everybody, just before he got into Trump's inner circle

[-] MentallyExhausted@reddthat.com 4 points 1 week ago

And it was in SF — not exactly conservative HQ and where twitter was located

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 9 points 1 week ago

I'm not 'murican, will that video make me an international terrorist?

[-] GroundedGator@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Can someone please explain what Talib Kweli was doing there and didn't punch a Nazi?

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 7 points 1 week ago

From which stage where for what reason? I watched the first couple seconds, but got no clues.

[-] Lupo@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Chase Center San Francisco because Elon sucks and always has. Watch the rest of the seconds, there are plenty of clues.

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago

because Elon sucks and always has

I get this, yes. I mean what was the event?

[-] Lupo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Going by the clues, I'm going to say comedy show

A Dave Chapelle show

[-] Lupo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I just wanna say, I've really been dreaming of a Bill Burr 2028 ticket assuming elections are still a thing.

I love the guy, his voice, and his development as a person. He can pull this shit together.
