    The first step in “no longer relevant celebrity comes out as conservative to cling to the fringes of stardom.”

      After reading the title, I thought “crap, I should probably know who Katy Perry is.” After reading the comments, I don’t think I’m going to bother looking them up.

    X owner and Tesla founder Elon Musk

    Somehow the piece of shit actually gaslit the entire world into thinking he founded anything else then the shit he made.

    This probably shouldn’t surprise me. She was originally a Christian musician before she figured out that she was talented enough to make serious money if she marketed herself on sex appeal.

    Which is worse; that she said thank you to Elmo, or that she got a Cybertruck.

    Mmmmm. Neither’s doing wonders for her image.

          At least five a day? Damn. I’ve yet to see even one. I’ll probably laugh at whoever’s behind the wheel.

            California. See them everywhere. And yes I laugh every time. It’s so fucking ugly. It just screams. Hey I’m a douchebag with too much money

    The most generous possible take is that it’s basic politeness to thank someone when they give you a new truck (even if it’s a shitty one). My question, though, is why did he give it to her? Out of all the celebrities he could have given one of those stupid cybertrucks to, why did he choose Perry?

    I don’t know much about her. Does she have a history of problematic behavior that would make Musk think she’s a potential ally?

      That’s only generous if politeness was ever warranted when it comes to Elon Musk. It isn’t. Everyone should be rude to him at every opportunity because he has shown himself to be irredeemably atrocious bigot and conspiracy monger.

        Squid, you get it. Musk is a thin-skinned hypocrite whose only actual contributions to society are vitriol and debunked ideas, and politeness is more than he deserves.

      I read your comment, which seemed sensible. Then I saw the photo she posed for.

    I always though she had the light on but no one is really home.

          Yeah, that’s why I can’t tell if they’re joking or serious…

      ‘Your Highness’ got a few laughs from me, and keira knightly did pretty OK in it as well

    The first was Grimes, now it’s Katy Perry… Who will be the next singer I’ll stop to listen to?
