Now that Elon Musk has bought Twitter - now the Pit edition (Part 2)

The Royal Society is hosting a meeting to “discuss principles around the public pronouncements and behaviours of its fellows after thousands of scientists expressed their concerns over Elon Musk’s continued membership.”

If we can’t talk about dicks, we can’t talk about Elmo at all.

We’re only discussing the sexual functioning of people offering strangers to impregnate them, (aka sexual predators)

I get how you feel the need to white knight for them.

I don’t even know what “to white knight” means, but it sounds like you think I’m defending him. I can’t imagine how you read that in what I wrote. Could you clarify?

My intent was to say that speculation about famous people’s dicks is puerile. Thinking that dick size has to do with personality is off-the-charts puerile. But never mind: if you’re having fun with it, I’ll go be boring in the corner until you’re done. It’s the pit, so you can speculate about mine too, if you like.

They’ll probably vote to expel Elmo but the better question is why the hell they ever invited him in. The Royal Society describes itself as “the independent scientific academy of the UK, dedicated to promoting excellence in science for the benefit of humanity.” WTF has this dumbfuck ever done to advance science?

Hehe, my favorite part of Breakfast of Champions is Vonnegut describing the penises of the characters. The best was this:

The Royal Society meeting isn’t until Mar. 3.
While that’s only 15 days away, it feels like an utter eternity in this Trump/Musk/GOP-fuelled chaos of the previous 15 days. What man-child tantrum will Elmo have over this?
We’re gonna start investigating all your gov’t waste by my very own personal international tribunal, or something!!!1!!!
Can’t think of any possible scenario in which the RS would not expel him. Really, really looking forward to this. The expulsion will truly gut him. His incel fanbois will shart.

Really? I expect my brother will move 100% of his savings into Tesla stock, if he hasn’t already.

How did Musk even get into the Royal Society?

I mean, I got in, but that was for a lecture and I was a paying audience member. Musk has no business in the Royal Society, even if he paid the £5 entrance to sit and listen.

I’m just gonna come right out and say it - Elon Musk has a weird fucked up tiny dick that doesn’t work and it’s melted his brain.

I want to know which quack doctor is telling Musk that they’re genetically modifying his embryos.

When a Chinese doctor used CRISPR to edit human embryos it was huge news with worldwide condemnation. And here is Musk’s latest baby factory just blabbing to the world that his children are mutants and chimeras. That’s a dodgy Bond movie right there.

Hugo Drax did try to repopulate the world with a master race after all.

I’m imagining that there’s a room in one of Elmo’s houses full of failed clones of him begging for death a la the Ripley/Xenomorph hybrids in Alien Resurrection.

I infer from this question that Elmo is talking to himself.

At least R&D finally knows why Elmo wanted these to be made!

There’s a step in IVF where the batch of fertilized embryos is examined for viability and quality, in order to prioritize which represent better odds for implantation. It’s possible Musk misinterpreted what they were saying and came away with the impression that “we chose the best embryos” means more than it does.

Because if they told him they were splicing in, I don’t know, lobster genes for longevity or some shit, and he believed them, then he’s as big a moron about genetics as he is about modern code management practices.

Edit to add: it’s also possible this woman is a dim bulb and Elon just made up the shit about enhancing the fetus to impress her for his own weird psychotic-nerd reasons or something. I think that’s probably more likely, actually.

With as much as Elmo tries to wrap himself in nerd subcultures that he fundamentally misunderstands (E.g. thinking that “Grok” is a Hitchhiker’s Guide reference or calling the Cybertruck “the car that Blade Runner would drive”), my guess is he fancies himself the Emperor of Mankind from Warhammer 40k breeding a legion of Primarchs from his genetic material.

The sooner we get to “immobile skeleton man strapped to a life support machine for eternity”, the better, although I wouldn’t be surprised if he thinks he’s going to be able to use Neuralink to upload his brain into Human Shield or whatever the one he’s been carrying around everywhere since December 4th is called.

Yes, seriously. If genetics had advanced to the point of splicing the genes of “other organisms” into human embryos and getting a successful birth, it would be impossible to keep that quiet. Despite the movie Splice.

Maybe that movie IS the source of either Elon or the woman involved thinking this possible. Though your speculations about Elon just making it up to impress her seem pretty plausible, too.

Neither would I since Musk and the Tech Bros have stated that this is their plan. Now they have the power to attempt this nonsense with their control of the US government.

And now, the definition of irony, courtesy of yours truly;

This made me laugh so hard. I didn’t necessarily frighten my cats but they look concerned.
