will someone call out Musk's weird breeding fetish already

Increasingly, the breeding fetish seems to be a feature for Republican men. See: Jay Dee Hamel and the general rhetoric we see from them on how women's only/primary value is in having children.

Well he did give some pro-tips on how to squeeze the last sliver of usefulness out of "postmenopausal females".

Doesn't that weirdo have enough kids as it? Half of which hates his guts?

Well, that's why he needs more. Keep going at it until he gets one that doesn't.

[Jotaux]

Not sure how much worse it can get.

... Is that a rape threat?

No, it's just weird as fuck and gross.

Taylor should just start adopting cats and sending them all to Elon so he can protect them.

[Poopymonster]

But wait, last I read *pages through papers* Trump said that immigrants are eating cats!
That sounds like you're just feeding the immigrants.

I feel like that's just animal abuse for those poor cats. Dudes human family doesn't even want anything to do with him for the most part.

But he swore to protect them with his life...

Knowing Elon, possibly? Equally possible it's a threat to just kidnap a random kid off the street and try to hand them off to Swift.

[Cthulhu 2020]

So Grimes followed Kamala Harris after the debate. Elon is about to start doing insane levels of divorce posting.

Not sure how much worse it can get.

Guy is just gross.

[PhaelixWW]

Boy, with the grotesque actions of its owner, it's a good thing TwiXer isn't having advertising woes, isn't it?


...


Oh, wait...

I'm not normally one to advocate for violence, but Musk is the kind of guy who needs a serious ass kicking. He apparently got one in high school after mocking a kid whose dad committed suicide, but the lesson didn't take. Shame that he backed out of that fight with Zuckerberg.

Reminder that this creep is in his 50s, despite talking like a 14 year old 4chan incel.

I saw people on twitter openly challening Elon to saw that shit in front of Taylor and her Boyfriend.

Also, I think we need to normalize Billionaires beating the shit out of each other.

I've got ten on Taylor.

Musk is a prime example that getting laid doesn't cure being an incel.

And with that, he means he's going to absorb the cats into his flesh through consumption, therefore being literal with his statement. When he dies, then so, spiritually, does the cats

From Sky News Australia:

The Communications Legislation Amendment (Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2024 (proposed)

To protect freedom of speech, the bill sets a high threshold for the type of mis- and disinformation that digital platforms must combat on their services—that is, it must be reasonably verifiable as false, misleading or deceptive and reasonably likely to cause or contribute to serious harm. The harm must have significant and far-reaching consequences for Australian society, or severe consequences for an individual in Australia.

"Yawn. Another toothless finger wag. What's Australia going to do? Glower angrily?"

Digital platforms may be subject to civil penalties of up to five per cent of global turnover for breaches of a standard and up to two per cent for codes. These penalties are high. However, they may be necessary in response to egregious and systematic breaches and failure to act.

"...percent?"

Yes. For example, Twitter's revenue dropped to $3.4 billion last year. Two percent of that would be sixty-eight million dollars.

Per offense.

Naturally, Musk had plenty to say about this, as it's a complicated topic that should be taken seriously.

fascists

"Where's the rest of his response?"

That was his response in its entirety.

Naturally, Australian politicians had things to say.

Musk’s comment was met with condemnation from federal government ministers on Friday, with Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones deeming the scathing remark “crackpot stuff” and calling out the harmful content present on X.

“Whether it’s the Australian government or any other government around the world, we assert our right to pass laws which will keep Australians safe – safe from scammers, safe from criminals,” he told the ABC.

“For the life of me, I can’t see how Elon Musk or anyone else, in the name of free speech, thinks it’s OK to have social media platforms publishing scam content, which is robbing Australians of billions of dollars every year.

“Publishing deepfake material, publishing child pornography. Livestreaming murder scenes. I mean is this what he thinks free speech is all about?”

“When it’s in his commercial interests, he is the champion of free speech; when he doesn’t like it, he’s going to shut it all down,” he said.

So, Musk's response to "please stop sharing knowingly false harmful information" can only reasonably be described as "no, I want to keep spreading knowingly false harmful information". A lot of people would want to stop the spread of knowingly false harmful information on the grounds that it's the right thing to do. Others, because it's illegal (assuming this passes). I would find someone responding to "killing an innocent person on purpose is illegal" with "fascists" to be a horrible person, and I can't say this is any better in direction. Let's not forget, spreading knowingly false harmful information led to the Jan 6th violent terrorist attack. It can kill people.

This may or may not pass, but if it does pass, I'm curious how many $68 million fines Musk will allow himself to pay before passing knowingly false harmful information to help Trump stops being his passtime.
