Could someone please explain the point Elon’s post was supposed to be making? I can’t see the whole image, and I don’t get the references.
The bottom image in the panel has the guy saying “your expert just went to jail for child porn” with the woman looking shocked. Elon made a smirking comment about that seeming “at least a little suspicious”.
But it’s bullshit.
“Musk replied to this image (referencing) a story about former journalist James Gordon Meek pleading guilty to possession of child sex abuse imagery. Over the summer, a fake New York Post headline went viral online. “Award Winning ABC Journalist Who ‘Debunked’ Pizzagate, Pleads Guilty in Horrific Child Porn Case,” it said. The Post never ran such a headline and Meek never published an article debunking Pizzagate—at most, the conspiracy was merely referenced in a story about Syria that Meek co-authored with two other reporters in 2017.”
Obviously Musk continues to be desperate for attention. But continually shooting yourself in the foot with a high-caliber weapon is a painful way to get it.
Following the link in @Smapti’s Mediate link gets to the full non-cut off photo.
Elmo seems to have never developed what the late Carl Sagan called a baloney-detection kit - he seems to automatically believe anything he reads online as long as it’s served in meme format.
But, But, It has to be true if it online, right? Or on TV? Isn’t that the Law??
and so long as they support his preexisting biases. Speaking of biased meme’s exported by Musk, I went to his twitter feed looking for a complete version of the pizza gate one. I didn’t find it since he had already deleted it, but I did see another Pam one that unless I am missinterpreting it seems at least equally vile, and oddly enough not making the news.
Its one of those “its the same picture” in this case comparing what appears to be a game over screen shot of a pile of feasting zombies, and on the other panel a bunch of black men staring at an innocent smiling white girl.
Is there any possible interpretation of this that isn’t horribly blatantly racist? and if not why hasn’t this tweet hit the news aggregators?
The gameplay photo is of Diablo IV if I’m not mistaken. The other photo is a stock meme image from a gangbang video (or so I have been told), though I believe the original only has five men in it.
Of course, in Elmo’s mind, this is all innocent fun. “Dying in a video game is just like having all of your orifices abused by a pack of wild Negroes, amirite fellas?”
I don’t know how to break this to you, but that’s not a bunch of black men staring at an innocent smiling white girl. That’s adult film star Piper Perri, and if you want to find the original source just have to google at your own risk because the results are very NSFW “Piper Perri Gangbang.”
So yeah, even more horribly racist than you might have thought.
No more built-in shock-resistant bullshit detector?
From Vice article - didn’t see this upthread from a cursory look:
Oh, yeah. Gonzo Films. Do Not buy furniture from their Garage Sale!
What are you talking about? I got a great deal on a black couch.
He actually put it in words rather than implying it!

“Go fuck yourself. Go. Fuck. Yourself.”
Elon Musk to advertisers threatening to boycott. Just now.
“G-F-Y.”

< waves UV flashlight > Ewwwww.
I look forward to Linda’s spin on this.
It appears Elon is slipping into some movie villain role. It’s like he is channeling Christopher Walken on a multi-day meth binge. Bizarre.
God, what a smarmy, shit-eating, “please please please give me approval for my transgressive wit” smile he has in that clip.
Here’s a longer embedded video of the interview. This is an honest assessment, not hyperbole: he reminds me of that guy at a party who just did a line of crystal meth. There’s the clipped speech, eyes darting around looking for validation, and fixating on one thing while ignoring what the conversation was about. The interviewer has no idea where to go with things.
I was gonna say – he looks high as fuck in the clip.
In the longer clip I linked, watch the 30 seconds starting at 1:30. That is pharmaceutical speech.
