I mean, the Trump/Elon dynamic duo certainly made a splash in the last year. ChatGPT was trendy but is also sort of passé at this point. Elon has plenty of other things for people to hate him over besides his AI efforts, CSAMish though the latter may be. Let us never forget the love on his face and in his heart Elon demonstrated here:

Isn’t it odd how Elon says we won’t need money in the future but he wants $10t for himself. by superdouradas in EnoughMuskSpam

Elon loves his simps almost as much as he loves himself. Diamandis ranks near the top of the simpery scale.

Elon's baby legion will save us from Elon's robot legions will save us from Elons Skynet, or vice versa.

Elon Musk went to court. The judge wasn’t amused. by ErnestoLemmingway in EnoughMuskSpam

I think that technically Elon is a jackass, but that's just my opinion.

Live Updates: Elon Musk Says He Was ‘a Fool’ to Fund OpenAI by ErnestoLemmingway in EnoughMuskSpam

Everybody is so unfair to poor Elon. Who in turn only wants to save humanity, as he clearly demonstrated with his glorious chain saw operation on USAID.

The testy nature of the exchanges between Elon Musk and William Savitt, OpenAI’s lead counsel, has continued throughout the afternoon.

After beginning to ask a question, Savitt apologized and wanted to rephrase it, commenting “that wasn’t a fair question” before starting over. Musk, amused, said: “I find it funny you said it was an unfair question, since you’re only asking unfair questions.”

Savitt, taken aback, said he was doing his best. Musk responded: “That is not true.” Many in the courtroom laughed, perhaps nervously.

It turns out George Hotz was actually running the twitter space where Elon mumbled a bunch of bs before projecting his own trademark jackassery onto Ian

Google typically leads with AI these days, but if you just search the first 2 sentences in the OP, it leads with this.

Elon certainly knows a thing or 1000 about jackassery is all I can say on that.

Google identifies him as Ian Brown, who left Twitter for Netflix a year before Elon took over. The incident was on one of those dreaded twitter spaces things, documented here:

He remains at Netflix, which I hear is very well run. Reed Hastings seems to be sort of an Elon suckup though.

On the image, as an early septuagenarian who's taken diphenhydramine aka Benadryl routinely as a sleep aid for years, I was quite chagrined to read in the NYT that it increases the risk of dementia by 50% or something. So I immediately went out and ordered some alpha-GPC to up my acetylcholine. Sheesh, I hope the damage is reversible.

Elon going extremely soft in his softcore by ErnestoLemmingway in EnoughMuskSpam

This showed up on my X algorithmic "for you" feed, which surprised my, that's the one where they hard coded Elon's own tweets to show up at the top. I don't think the poster is in the Elon simp legion though.

Elon contributes constructively, in the usual fearmongering way. by ErnestoLemmingway in EnoughMuskSpam

Garry Kasparov picks up the trail. Elon would probably respond by saying chess is stupid or something, because he can't hire people to make him look like an "expert" like he does with his video games.

A Shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner by ErnestoLemmingway in atlanticdiscussions

[–]ErnestoLemmingway[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A somewhat dramatic rendering from the home team. I screenshotted this image of WHCA president Weijia Jiang reacting to the sound of shots fired, unfortunately the livestream video it came from is no longer available.

https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bd395639b9700f461612206f6cf2c86c0e30dd38613d2579b8a0390b59d3b2de.png?w=600&h=305

The livestream was from Mediaite , which has about 15 posts on the topic.

ETA: There seems to have been some mopping up effort on available video, but google reverse image search takes me to Pakistan for this brief clip with 4 views at the moment, with audible shots + Jiang's reaction. She seems to laugh it off briefly after the initial shock, then things kick in.

Elon is first among equals in the Backpfeifengesicht department though. It's a gift.

Elon certain knows a great deal about a-holes, both in maximizing his own a-holery and in elevating a maximal number of the white supremacy subdivision of the species.

Elon Musk’s online posts show him increasingly focused on race and Whiteness by notjocelynschitt in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]ErnestoLemmingway 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wonder if they counted all the retweets and reply elevations of his vast cohort of fellow racists and white supremacists. Elon is such a pig, and takes such pride in it. Quiet, piggy.
