Can’t say I’m surprised that something associated with Elon Musk is much much worse than it initially appeared (the frog is also a bit of a giveaway, of course). ---

Reading the wiki entry on Pepe, it has a large section on the whole ‘Kek’ thing, and its white supremist / 4chan history, including images of green Nazi flags using kek to make a swastika like symbol. I just can’t believe this timeline. I never would have believed when I was younger that it would come to this. People suck. ---

There are large portions of the population that have always sucked and always will suck. There will always be things like this. That’s why we have to be vigilant about it and at the very least call it out when we see it, and fight it if we have to. ---

It gets…more interesting. Apparently some days back, an anonymous trader invested $55,000 into a “memecoin” named Kekius—and after Elon’s announcement of his new avatar/screen name, that investment is now worth over a million. Of course a million is nothing to Elon…but I could see him enjoying this. > **[What is Kekius Maximus?

Elmo (sorry, Kekius, wouldn’t want to deadname him) says that if Adrian Dittman is his sock puppet (which he’s totally not, he’s just a random guy who gets to voice chat with all of his friends and has the same speech impediment as him and has never shown his face and whose internet presence consists solely of telling Kekius what a great guy and totally-not-an-absentee-dad he is) then he’s just practicing self-love and therefore the left are the real beta soy cucks and TOTALLY not him.

With Bannon as the (crooked) ref. I’d pay money to watch that on PPV. 😉 The only hard part would be deciding who’s the face and who’s the heel. ---

I’m now seeing that “Adrian Dittman”, who totally is not Elon Musk, had a massive flameout with some anons on 4chan that ended with him declaring “you’ll be sorry when Elon buys this site”. Do it, Elon. Buy the internet’s biggest dumpster fire. Do it right before Trump undoes Section 230 and makes webmasters criminally liable for content on their platforms. I DARE YOU. ETA: He’s apparently also embraced Lamarckism now. > **[https://i.redd.it/tmjjpbbx0uae1.jpeg](https://i.redd.it/tmjjpbbx0uae1.jpeg)** [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/now-that-elon-musk-has-bought-twitter-now-the-pit-edition-part-2/1005634.md?page=56) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/now-that-elon-musk-has-bought-twitter-now-the-pit-edition-part-2/1005634.md?page=58)
