        He’s got some weird things about fathering children. That story about him wanting to donate his sperm to Mars settlers was just too bizarre.

          Elon Musk is very likely a supporter of eugenics and since he’s also a narcissist who thinks he’s better than everyone else, it makes sense that he’s obsessed with spreading his genes.

          Just remember to conveniently ignore actually raising those kids, and those who happen to not fit his mold of what a person should be like (e.g. if they happen to be trans or see through a modicum of his bullshit)

      She definitely isn’t going to consent to being impregnated by Elon so the only conclusion is that he will rape her to get her pregnant. Whether he intended to threaten her with rape or not, he is threatening her with rape.

      Maybe he’s misunderstood. Maybe another one of his children doesn’t agree with him and he wants to get rid of it. He’ll take the cat in exchange. A somewhat understandable offer.

      She also said the only reason she isn’t being politically neutral like she typically does is because Trump posted AI pictures of her claiming she supports right-wing policies. She’s now encouraging her massive fan base of young women to vote, a group that probably would have been apathetic beforehand. That’s another massive unforced error for the Trump campaign.

        It’s the same she said in 2020, and I believe 2016 too.

            You know what? You’re right. No artist was able to make a living before Twitter. I don’t know what I was thinking.

            Here, let’s wrap this up.

            1. Some people are making money on Twitter. The vast, vast majority are not. It’s easily thousands to one. Those thousands of people have absolutely no argument.

            2. Those that are making a living have a choice to make… continue being hostage to and supporting a platform that actively makes the world worse using the money they obtain from their support, or find an audience the old fashioned way. If you are talented, your audience will find you. I don’t buy that you NEED a particular platform. I don’t begrudge someone who is making money their decision to stay and keep making it, but you don’t get out of it with a squeaky clean “oh well, it is what it is”. There are professionals who work for shit companies that do awful things because they understand the evil crap they’re supporting and they’ve accepted that they will be judged for that activity, and the income is their compensation for it. Anyone who stays on Twitter for a living should be prepared for the same judgement. But if that’s the case, I hope they’re making enough to make it worth it.

              Yeah the artist that create a small community in a platform with reliable income after a huge pain in the ass work need to redo most of that work in another platform because some rich stupid moron billionaire touch on that platform and transform it into shit. Definitely screw those guys, move on or be judged!

              They are the minority but it is still a fucked situation created by a douche.

                It’s not that I don’t sympathize, but that IS what happened. The platform is no longer something you can use without carrying that weight. You just can’t. Yes, it sucks for them, but people’s workflows and ability to do their jobs get disrupted all the time. Factories shut down. Industries get replaced.

                Yes, the work is hard, and yes it isn’t their fault that this happened. But life isn’t fair. The fact is staying with this platform is delivering income to a man who who is running his own judicial review of the laws of democratic countries, just threatened to rape Taylor Swift on an international platform, and thinks the world should be run by incels. Absolutely NO amount of “But I’d have to find a new audience…” changes that. I understand it isn’t easy, but sometimes doing the right thing is hard. That doesn’t mean you get a pass to not do it. If making the right decisions were easy and involved no personal sacrifice, everyone would do it all the time.
