In a shocking turn of events, tech titan Elon Musk and philanthropic powerhouse MacKenzie Scott have engaged in a heated Twitter feud that has left the internet buzzing.

This sentence is literally a lie. Musk posted a single derogatory tweet about her and then deleted it, and she said absolutely nothing in response. What a bullshit article

Protist and Medium.com engage in flame war!

......did I do it? Did I do the clickbate? Did number 7 shock you?

[–] protist@mander.xyz 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Clickbate may be a totally different thing than clickbait

[–] Saber_is_dead@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Go away! Clickbatin'!

Sooo did she actually see ol' musky's weird message? Or was this just her doing her thing?

Article doesn't really say. Seems more like she's just doing her thing and Elon chose to have tiny dick energy at a convenient time.

Well yea... Hes kinda always has that.

Don't blame the drugs, man

I think when Musk says "Western Civilization", he's thinking about unbridled capitalism where increasingly rich people think they made all of their money themselves, and meanwhile, the poor people who they exploited and stole all of the money from end up living the lives of a slave.

Basically, almost everybody in the 1% has this sort of skewed view of the world, and all of their experiences seem to back that up. If you don't think that way, then you'll stop trying to earn money once you have enough. Almost all of Musk's billionaire peers are going to think the same way.

Then, he sees somebody like MacKenzie Scott, who didn't start out ultra wealthy, and who didn't really fit into that group. But because she was married to the sort of lunatic who belongs in that group, she ended up ultra wealthy. She likely doesn't share the mental problems that the rest of the group have. So, everything she does is going to seem completely incomprehensible to a person who completely lacks self-awareness like Musk.

She's just giving away money to people who would otherwise be much closer to the ultimate goal of the slave class. To a guy like Musk, that is the same thing as "the decline of Western civilization." I think all of the top billionaires share a mental illness, and we, as a democracy, have been remiss in our efforts to help them by setting limits on how much wealth they can accrue.

I don’t listen to string out addicts. Like ever. They’re the most unwell of people. Elon needs a doctor.

[–] _Nico198X_@europe.pub 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

i cannot believe this addict is the richest man on Earth. we really need a societal reset.

I met Nvidia CEO recently. I’ll give him the respect I used to have for Elon.

[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 14 points 2 weeks ago

Hey guys don’t pick on him, he has no real friends and will die alone

If I sincerly thought a single person were capable of bringing down entire civilizations in less than a human lifespan, I would not be taunting them on Twitter.

I for one welcome our new overlord, MacKenzie Scott. Anyone know if she's interested in adding fascist oligarchies to her list of future conquests?

She turned him down?

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

I blame him recently and Zuckerberg previously.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

The missing comma reads like he blames two people.
