Man I thought this was The Onion at first

    If I wasn’t so busy laughing at him, I’d be embarrassed on his behalf.

    Is Musk acting more and more juvenile because he can’t deal with the fact that he’s in his early fifties now?

      I’m not saying that he has late stage syphilitic dementia. But if he doesn’t then I’m somehow even more confused about his recent actions.

    Reading that article was a highlight of my day. I dislike FB/Meta but at least Zuckerberg can string a sentence together than doesn’t make him sound 13 and going thru a phase.

        The only sort-of controversy I can think of is when he called his users idiots for giving him their data, what, 15-20 years ago when he was in college? That wasn’t even a public statement. Musk is loudly calling anybody who opposes him on anything a cuck, pedo, asshole…

        Right, most of the complaints people have about Zuckerberg is that he’s a stereotypical tech bro ceo lacking a moral compass.

        People calling Zuckerberg a lizard person or robot mostly come from how he talked and acted when under intense public questioning by legislators regarding user privacy and their business model. That’s a high pressure situation where he was coached on what he could and could not say by legal to minimize the fallout, so his awkward expressions and stilted speech are understandable.

        People don’t like him because he’s a ruthless ceo, and that requires some level of sociopathy pull off. Musk, on the other hand, actively antagonizes people and seems to thrive on controversy. His primary goal seems to be ego-driven, unlike Zuckerberg who’s solely in it for the money.

      Funny thing is that Threads is the new player who is currently dominating the microblogging market while Twitter is just watching. Technically speaking, Twitter is the one being “cucked” here.

    Musk is actually kind of impressive at this point. It takes some real talent and determination to make Zuckerberg look like the good guy in comparison. There are not many people in the world who can even manage to pull that off once or twice, and Musk is doing it over and over again.

    Yo, Elon. Firstly, don’t kink shame. Cuckoldry has become much more accepted as both a practice of sexuality and genre of adult entertainment over the last few years.

    Secondly, this isn’t 2015. The only people who use that word unironically are terminally online trolls. Oh, wait…

    It’s building up to similar rich white people Biggie and Pac feud. One can only hope for same outcome.

    If he didn’t fucked up his own platform by himself he wouldn’t have to care about Threads, he is responsible for Twitter’s downfall.
