    This will actually work. Theyre both megalomaniacs with fragile egos, putting him in Trumps shadow making it look like he’s being used by Trump will drive him crazy

    I’m gonna force myself to watch a crappy Stephen King movie because of this. I’ll raise a glass to anyone that can get under the skin of this dumb chump.

      Why not watch one of the good ones, instead? I’d recommend:

      • Carrie
      • Shawshank Redemption
      • Delores Clayborne
      • The Green Mile
      • Stand By Me

        Gonna tack on The Mist to your list.

        At the very least it stars Thomas Jane and Andre Bruagher, which is a win in its own right imo.

          I actually don’t think I’ve seen The Mist, but now I think I’m going to give it a watch based on your recommendation.

            Definitely worth a watch! I had not read the book before watching it, which I think was good going into it.

            I enjoyed it as a movie outright, but it wasn’t until I did a report on it for a class that I learned to appreciate a lot of the undertones and imagery that I didn’t catch on the first pass. If you come back after you watch it I’ll tell you my favorite subtle thing I missed the first time (which I’m sure is more obvious in the book)!

      You say that but we all remember him personally mass banning elon musk parody accounts and banning photos of himself he didn’t like.

        So he does read your tweets. This still does nothing. This is just the lamest form of activism, and as recent evidence shows, it clearly doesn’t work.

        Musk has previously described himself as an “alpha male”, it will annoy him for sure.

        Maybe, although I personally don’t get that at all. Then again I’m not exactly a misogynist and do enjoy drag… Maybe I do want to see Elon in legit* drag after all. And I do mean something legit–not the diarrhea of frat bro tropes he’d inevitably lean into.

        Can we get a fanfic going about Elon’s secret drag performance addiction instead of ketamine? I’d probably read it, but I’d also be glad it exists.

        Context matters here. I think the joke is that this gender-swapped picture would really piss off Elon Musk in particular because he’s so openly and proudly transphobic.

          Yeah i don’t think i would really like this sort of joke normally. But given he’d rather say his son died to the woke virus than admit he has a trans daughter… fuck elon.

          Its not a misgendering. It is a mocking of his reverence to trump and cozying up ahead of the swear-in ceremony. If it pisses him off… it’s his own transphobia to blame. We’re just encouraging him if he’s an egg.
