Yeah so somebody grew up in a racist household that prioritized Protestant ideals about work and success. And then that person moved to Silicon Valley with Daddy's money and worked there during its bommiest years. Then went on to pump money into electric cars and rockets.
This all came to a screeching halt during Covid when all of a sudden, he had to not prioritize profits and success but rather the health and safety of his employees and others.
This sent him down a rabbit hole on Twitter where suddenly he felt accepted by all the Trump crowd. Now he's stuck there and slides further right each day.
This guy is now the wealthiest person on the planet.
That's become a whole rallying call for queerphobia lately. They also have beef with the words diversity, equity, and inclusion? I don't even fucking know they can't make their thoughts coherent and they don't even bother trying.
DEI metrics for hiring and retention are very much a thing, and the larger point he continues to make in this instance. Musk is an idiot and makes himself look dumb, no need to mischaracterize what his points actually are.
I genuinely can't tell if the comic was added by somebody else to mock Musk's tweet, or if Musk is such a narcissistic prick with zero self awareness that he ""ironically" added this comic as part of his fellow-kids memelord act.
There's a simple litmus test. Musk would never joke about himself in a self-deprecating way, in any capacity. He has such a fragile ego it would break if someone farted in his general direction.
Unironically dividing the Proletariat against itself by stirring up racism among conservatives on a large social platform is the correct move for him to keep his dragon hoard, though I doubt it's intentional.
Even crazy new Dragons get the "Respect the #1 rule of Dragon Club; do nothing to threaten the viability of the existence of Dragons" speech, I reckon.
For real. Diversity could easily be considered antithetical to racism. Inclusion could be considered antithetical to sexism. But no, Chef Elon made pseudo-intellectual word salad.
But, "Worlds grossly richest man not big on equity" feels like an Onion article title.
Could be, but like countries that use the words "Democratic" and/or "People's" in their names, just because you call something by a word doesn't necessarily mean that word is accurate.
Often "diversity, inclusion and equity" in practice means doing things that would rightly be called out as sexist and racist but targeting the "right" sex and/or race.
I thought this at first as well. But then I thought he probably is that dislodged from reality that he genuinely thinks he's discriminated against when people mention equity and stuff like that because he's the antagonist of equity.
If everyone in the world is at least not poor and comfortable it means a lot less wealth for him; a big No No for PeElon.
They would not even understand, they practice narciss-ism even more often than rac-ism.
Also, talking about inclusivity, this is a (probably not fully exhaustive) list of all the "-ism"s. That is how much of an ignorant cretin people using this neologism are.
Sadly, a professor I used to respect is following similar bullshit ideologies. Climate denialism, veiled racism, and bigotry. Once he moved out of California into a much more red area, he plummeted.
Speaking of bitches. I much prefer them to dogs - better temprement, smell better and no undercarage for you to accidentally brush/knock when rubbing their belly.
You need a team of drug-fueled yes men to approve of your halfwitted drug-fueled ideas.
Honestly the psychology of Musk is fascinating. I wish we could ethically clone him and just have a team of psychologists tear the clone apart and write a chart-busting non-fiction on his brain. And then dump the clone in a volcano because we don’t need more of that. And dumping the clone in the volcano becomes the biggest pay-per-view event of the decade.
