Now that Elon Musk has bought Twitter - now the Pit edition (Part 1)

I could only make it about 20 minutes in before I got tired of Elmo’s trying to stammer out excuses for his words and actions in a way that he thinks won’t make him look like a racist shithead.

My two takeaways are that I now believe him when he says he’s autistic, and that this interview probably would’ve gone better if he had been high on K that afternoon.

I was brave (and bored) enough to watch the whole thing.

It did not go well for Musk, at all. I felt that Lemon should have been more agressive in many respects, but he got his answers, then switched topic.

The answers were not pretty, and certainly not for Musk.

I kind of wish Lemon had humiliated him, ended the interview with Musk in tears, on the floor, in a ball in the corner, but that would be unkind. A man-child, is, after all, part child.

Have we dated? :thinking:

For as much damage as Elmo has done, humiliating him until he pisses himself on camera still wouldn’t have gone too far.

Hah, no, but I gotta say, that’s not the best pick-up line I’ve ever heard.

I think the simplest explanation was that since he was sponsoring Lemon’s show, Musk thought Lemon would ask him softball questions and puff up him and is platform. I mean who actively tries to humiliate their boss on the first day on the job?

Of course Lemon saw the purpose of the interview, as demonstrating his independence and demonstrating in stark terms the supposed free-speech ideal of X. As it turned out this was based on faulty assumptions, that Musk actually believed in free speech.

Elmo says the gays need to start having babies.

You know, for the sake of white civilization.

Musk’s obsession with breeding is seriously creepy. Especially since it’s white people he wants to breed.

As time goes on, the evidence continues to mount which proves that Musk is a real life Bond villain.

Everything about him screams “Comic Book Bad Guy”.

Can you think of anyone in real life closer to Moonraker’s Hugo Drax? Just look out for a seven-foot-tall bodyguard with steel teeth…

Satire is dead when things like this exist in the real world.

The Trump crap is oddly compatible with that piece of shit. Two kinds of ugliness all in one package.

“Whether you’re headed to work, the mall, or just cruising, the Cybertruck’s impenetrable steel body will fully protect your tender feelings while literally everybody* has a good laugh at your expense.”

*Racists not included.

What are they up to in Hummers?

Is that thing faux-riveted? Jesus H Christ.

I hope you weren’t planning on needing your fingers after you get your cybertruck. Demonstration of how safe and effective trunk closing is at ~2:03 using carrots. Four of them.

That video is great. “Trucks for divorced middle aged men who find their teenage daughter’s friends hot.”

And here I thought there was no way to make the cyber truck uglier than it already is.

Elon is like a robot or something in that interview. I just love that you can peel your carrots on the door, but eek, I predict at least one lawsuit for chopped off fingers someday.

How in the heck did that pass muster?

omg those guys who shot up their cybertruck because Elon told them it was bulletproof
