The interviewer who asked Elon "Why is that important?" did a MASTERFUL JOB. Just quietly sitting there waiting for Elon. No facial expression, no prompting to help him answer- just silence. Perfect! No notes!
well if you have such a high caliber individual, why wouldn't you let him have the floor and set him up for success with a softball question? He's a genius CEO I hear /s
The reason that the mainstream media is "an hour behind" news stories is probably because of a professional detail known as checking sources. Something bloggers don't care about.
When I was a reporter years ago, a "new media" consultant was brought in for a daylong workshop and the one thing she said that I'll never forget is: "In this new age, it's more important to be first than to be accurate." The entire staff laughed her out of the room. What's sad is she's still on a university faculty, training future journalists in this kind of nonsense.
I remember during the first flaming dumpster fire of Trumps time in office seeing a comparison of CNN and Fox where they pointed out CNN has dozens of foreign offices while Fox you could count on one hand. The right wing doesn't report, they make up claims then "retract" in the middle of the night when no one will see it.
@sgt_samples Graffiti was there *way* before Twitter (X) and from when I was a teenager I was inspired by the masterpieces of it. Like 'posts' on Social Media, most of it was trash, but some pieces were true works of art. I guess it just boils down to using and cultivating 'common sense' which posts or 'tags' to take serious or not. One thing everyone should do, no matter where you get off on, is to verify the source of what you read or hear. My 2P
Yeah, that's Nikhil Kamanth (Owner of Zerodha (like Robinhood app but for India) He is a great podcaster or should I say interviewer. He really actively listens and asks great questions
That interview was so painful but needed to happen. I can only imagine the first-hand cringe he must have felt when getting that sorry excuse for an answer.
Same. I also love the idea of more people finally calling out his 2024 election fraud activities. Georgia just found evidence against Elon this week but not enough people are talking about it on a larger scale. 😩
yeah, its almost as funny as jon calling elons actions anti semetic. either he clearly has zero idea how x's shadow bans are entirely based around exposing or bad mouthing isreal, or hes distracting yall like joking about how the gold missing from fort nox isnt a big deal and a joke. i used to love jon. but this is horrible, elon is as pro isreal g3nocide as it gets
It's NOT Elon and it's not liberal bias in the media. The bottom line people just prefer trusting in facts and God's Truth over incindiary lies, hate speech, propaganda indoctrination and gas lighting brainwashing. People love God's Truth, peace and prosperity over Republican treasonous, violence inciting, fabricated lies.
People forget...Elon isn't that smart. He hires rocket scientists and engineers, they build a spaceship, then HE takes credit for building it and claims HE is a rocket scientist. Then he claims his spaceship is the "greatest thing ever" and yet, "oddly", won't take a ride in it.
People need to understand something. Elon wasn't "rejected from Epstein island". He was protected from it. By Epstein. Epstein did not want his star player getting tainted with that location on his itinerary. This IS the Epstein class. We now live in THEIR world. The files made this abundantly clear. We are all basically forced to participate in THEIR Epstein economy. They thrive in the manufactured chaos they endlessly plan for. Creating massive societal-level problems so they can sell us their "solutions". The single most prevalent reason that China is continuing to succeed and out-perform every major nation, more and more every day... is because they do everything in their power to prevent the Epstein class from infiltrating any part of China. It's the entire reason their surveillance state is a total necessity. Because if China let down their guard for 5 minutes... they'd be torn to shreds. Just like we have in America. Elon is a big big part of the Epstein class. For him, it's the vessel he needs to become a trillionaire. We need to stop him. We need to stop them all.
“Footnote: There was a strange man, whose name has been lost to time, that tried to rename Twitter to X for some reason but no one ever called it that.”
@birbey-TF2 while social media's weaponization will definitely be discussed and deconstructed at length, i dont think the particular brand names that were/are co-opted by fascist oligarchs will be the primary focus. Kind of like how people remember that fascist rich people bought the news in the prelude to WWII but no one alive today really cares about the names of those newspaper and newsreel companies. but who knows, future history will read back to the as of yet unborn masses based on all decisions and actions made by everyday people everyday
The guy is an actual idiot. Like he doesn't understand basic concepts and just repeats canned phrases in interviews. I would feel bad for him if he wasn't continuing to perpetrate right-wing violence.
@PuzzlingChap it’s still a legitimate business but haven’t you considered that maybe a business started by immigrants (who are almost certainly not fluent in English) with very limited resources couldn’t afford to change it after realizing it?
Elon is absolute proof that having all the money in the world doesn’t make you smart, or funny, or likable, or capable of raising children, or trying to convince us that you are not a nazi.
That kind of power encourages that behavior. My favorite recent analogy is that it’s like they’re playing GTA with all cheat codes on. No consequences and unlimited power cause boredom and thus reckless and destructive behavior. Allow that for 50 years or so and you end up with a class of individuals at the very top that are more depraved than the average person can ever imagine.
If the man weren't an intellectual fraud, he would have been horrified at realizing that he's never thought more than one layer deep about this. It demonstrates that he surrounds himself with sycophants.
I mean, it’s shockingly simple to come up with a boilerplate PR response “to unite humanity, exchange ideas etc etc” I guess his PR team would be concerned that he didn’t head off such an easy question
True, but honestly Murdoch was successful to a much larger degree than Musk. The comment sections on those sites will make you lose all hope for humanity.
At least Fox now honestly designates itself as an entertainment media outlet because of how opinionated they are and doesn't masquerade as a news outlet like CNN does. 👀
and also is a good representation of the black hole people go into when they ask Grok for everything instead of actually trying to think or using it like I do to ask educated and well-thought out questions like if Bojack Horseman was a cynical character instead of using it to ask if a post on X by Lori Loughlin was true or if J.K. Rowling was transphobic instead of Daniel Radcliffe
@seewhativescene My advice is get addicted to other parts of the internet. I chose educational content and entertainment from RUclips relevant to computers and tech and ended up learning programming, made websites and now working on a text based menu controlled RPG in Godot programming basically from scratch with gdscript. You can quit twitter even if you're a failure like me, like most addictions you have to replace it with something but... Its always an option just naturally unappealing compared to addictive behaviours. Source: Ex addict of a bunch of stuff, lost my house, most of my friends and in general didn't have skills to fix it all but trying for about a year now and seeing improvement in self esteem and hobbies at least
I just split the difference and call it ex-Twitter. I've heard people called it "xitter", using I guess the Chinese pronunciation of X (SH)? The thing that floors me about the name change is that companies would KILL to have the brand recognition that Twitter had. You could see it with a tiny, 8x8-pixel pic vaguely resembling a bird. Heck, you could see it by merely a specific shade of blue when in context of other similar icons. Who drops that in favor of the character connected to so many random things that you can't tell *what* it means? Triple-X, X-Men, edgy 90's spelling IIRC, an unknown variable, a previous lover/partner... the only way it could possibly work is if the platform became so ubiquitous that nobody understood the letter by itself to mean anything *but* Twitter, and... ...y'know what, I can see Elon thinking that that would happen. Yeah. Reminds me of the line someone said about store apps: They're pushing these out like teachers who assign homework as if *they're* the only class a student has to deal with. What hubris.
@navnishbhardwaj3436 you can get paid just for posting RUclips comments?!? You should join them then! You seem like the perfect type of person to fall for a grifter offering easy passive income sources
Twitter these days has the most depraved takes you can possibly imagine. Its a horrid mix of all sorts of hate speech, elitism, cynical views on humanity and the world, its all terrible.
@YouCanCallMeReTroDownloaded it for first time in like a year several days ago. First posts I came across were shocking yet not surprising. Racism, Islamaphobia, misinformation, anti-semitism, men saying women are inferior, women saying world would be a better place if all men were gone, some more racism, dehumanization, Islamaphobic posts especially were a trend because of Ramadan, (one of the tweets I came across was a video, the content was a muslim man celebrating his daughter's 5th birthday, they were both happy and joyful and cute together, the caption of that tweet was "a muslim man celebrating the wedding of his new wife, these are the people we import into our countries") and all those posts had thousands of likes lmao. I deleted it today and I dont think i might download it ever again TLDR: I downloaded twitter for first time in long time and regretted it
That’s what all of them on the extreme right have done. My dad was a huge Alex Jones listener, I spent much of my early adult years hearing about how the government was making encampments to lock up dissenting US citizens and how our own military was going to be turned onto the people they’re supposed to protect. And it’s happened! I’ve watched for decades as the far right yelled and screamed only to turn around and do the very thing they warned about because in their opinion “They had to do it before the other side did it.” Uh huh. Sure. I’m more disgusted by the fact that their tactic has worked.
Sometimes not every question demands an immediate answer like what did you have for breakfast today. The question literally is why is trying to achieve a collective consciousness through the internet where each human is like a neuron in the brain important. Maybe you are too dumb to not see the depth there.
@Birbakhele I think (hard to tell through your interesting choice of grammar) your may have entirely missed my point. I literally was saying "good job" about the interviewer. If you were confused about maybe a use of sarcasm, try asking for clarification next time.
Except there was Fraud; Nick Shirley definitely wasn't doing things properly, but he found Fraud & called it out to the Public. Now that the Public have started questioning things, and none of the State or Federal Funds had been properly used; the first thing the Mainstream Media did was attack Nick Shirley & call him racist.
@joseguadalupemartineztorre9702, He accused childcare centers operated by brown people of committing fraud, and he never provided any evidence. That definitely sounds pretty racist.
I was a guest at shareholder meeting in NYC last fall, and the Muskrat was the featured guest speaker. For nearly an hour he spoke in nonsensical gibberish just like this. I don’t think he finished a coherent thought during the entire interview. It wasn’t much of a leap to conclude he was on drugs of some sort or his synapses are now misfiring as a result of that. More astonishing to me is how many believe in this guy.
1:47 My dad, who got me watching Last Week Tonight in the first place, was a huge LOTR fan. He would've felt so called out by this joke lol. May he rest in peace. Edit: Thank you guys for the kind comments ❤️
I read all of the books as a teen but when the movie came out Bakshi's rotoscoping turned me off. I'm still waiting for a better adaptation to revive my interest. (I did like Nimoy's Bilbo song though.)
What kills me is that things like the daycare propaganda get circulated so well that, here in Vancouver, I had left-leaning or non-political coworkers talking to me about it like it was real news. We aren't even in the states and we're getting it. The general public doesn't have any media literacy, and we're incredibly susceptible to propaganda via the internet. Makes me deeply sad.
@gristen he wants to outshine his great idol: Joseph Goebbels spreading lies, misinformation and inciting violence in other nations to then take it over and brainwash the population.
People who call for "civil war" have never seen war. Nobody who has actually seen the violence of war would ever want it around their family, friends, or loved ones.
Musk is from South Africa. He is very, very butthurt about the end of Apartheid. It's personal for him. He's seen civil war, and lost. And everyone in the world will keep paying for his discomfort.
@Vohlfied They have the false notion that they would easily win because liberals are soft and weak. Not considering that it's first of all false, nor any concerns over logistics or organization
Ya, but these are the same people that watch too many Hollywood action movies and see the world through shallow performative fantasy where the hero always wins and themselves as the obvious heroes. Reality would quickly change that notion.
This! Everybody says the same thing about a revolutions too not understanding that they overwhelmingly are bloody conflicts (not saying we don’t need one but if you want to change systems you have to accept the norm has to die, and sometimes sadly too.)
@ChinaMitHaraldand it's really sad to think that even if the dums take back the house AIPAC has their balls in a vice and will just squeeze at any thought of accusing them of just what they are doing...😮
16:30 “I don’t watch tv much because it’s 12-24 hrs behind what’s actually happening. Instead, I watch Nick Shirley, who is 100 years behind what is actually happening.”
Nick has more honesty and integrity in his little finger than John has in his entire body. I can't believe I used to to think this guy did honest journalism but his coverage of Nick trying to paint him as a far/alt right spinster has proven the perspective I had wrong. Now I have to go back and find all the other lies and manipulation I was fed as the truth from all his other videos. I'm incredibly disappointed; in myself and in this program. I knew that things were presented in a left-ish learning way but I thought this was about the closest thing on the internet to good objective journalism and now sadly the veil has been removed. I should be thanking John for finally outing himself and finally getting it over with but I just feel betrayed. 😮💨
@k@keensbeanzcause whether he realizes it or not, he’s doing far right work. How tf is he honest when he didn’t even acknowledge that kids wouldn’t be at a f*cking day care outside of business hours? Or why they wouldn’t just leave the place open for any random dude with a camera to come stare at the kids? Or the difference between 55 specific day cares being investigated for fraud and accusing the entire day care system? Grow up. Save the novel for someone who is also a god forsaken idiot.
@Kro@Krooglesean yes, but this is more of an insult because _even_ the borg would reject him. They only reject individuals who are too unique and threaten their unity or whole species that are so insignificant and worthless to their supremacist vision. Guess where Elon Musk falls.
@glasshammer “We are the Borg… You will be assimilated… Resistance is fu… ooop… NOT you, Elon… Go on, git outta here shoo! We are the Borg… You will be assimilated… GIT! He’s trying to cling to the cube, 11of16… Get the cube scraper… Ugh.”
@thecomfortinthesound Ugh, Lex Luther, Blofeld, et al. Remember when Billionaire sociopath super villians were at least charming and cheeky funny, not funny sad?
Elon MUSK knew the answer, but he dare not say it: that coherent global human consciousness that he aims for would do what he instructs it to do, and we know that none of that would be good.
@gylgameshofuruk I was thinking his answer was: "I just want to find at least one person who likes me" His damaged emotional inner child would never be able to allow that thought out of his subconscious. Those synaptic connections were burned away a long time ago.
@IanCaine4728 You know what, thank you for pointing this out- I hadn't made the link with how reocurring his AI use has to be on a daily basis but this makes a lot of sense, substances aside. The science is still in its infancy, AI is still on the rise and we lack the proper framework that a history of studies would provide, but I'm starting to see articles floating around re: the possible impact of AI on decision-making and skill acquisition; considering neuroplasticity is a thing and seeing how some lost skills or processes can sometimes be re-trained to a degree, I'm inclined to believe there is at least _some_ truth to the fears of cognitive atrophy... Given that Elon Musk is both very high-profile and seems increasingly reliant on AI, he himself would likely make for a pretty telling case study if not for the added substance abuse factor.
@chengkuoklee5734Only way I can get through hearing most of everything going on right now! The late night shows & some news comedy accounts here on YT which I’ve verified as reliable are how I get most info.
I remember when the 2023 Maui wildfires were happening, I went on Twitter hoping to find real-time information. All the top search results were about how the fires were started by space lasers.
I forget which natural disaster it was, but I remember going on Twitter for information to find out if my friends and their families would be safe only to find my feed flooded with right wing accounts saying that it was caused by weather control guns created by the Jews.
Someone old twitter user found the name vulgar [been calling it shitter myself awhile], then i showed them grok. Another xitter (shitter) name adoptor immediately. 😅
I was still up, chronic pain too and a sleep disorder without knowledge of the 24 hour cycle. I feel ya both! Hope you're surviving LWT and all the rest.
"You may think you already know how bad it is or that it doesn’t matter to you, but it’s actually worse than you think for reasons you may not know and in ways that will unfortunately impact all of us” might as well be the tagline for the show at this point 😆
Right? That line could fit seamlessly into literally every episode of this show that has been or will be made. And sadly I don't think they'll ever run out of topics 😭
The problem with Twitter is allowing the criticism of The Sacred Four, (The Sacred Four are 4 protected groups that Western nations agreed to honor and protect: 1-Israel 2-LGBTQ and 3-Feminism 4-Sex Workers). Luckily we are going to pass strong laws to treat any criticism of the Sacred Four as an act of terrorism, especially the criticism of Israel and LGBTQ.
As someone who's autistic that may just be an autism thing. I have to pause like that all the time before talking because it's hard for me to come up with the correct words to say in a timely manner I can think just fine, thinking is easy, but translating those thoughts into something understandable through speech is very difficult. I certainly wouldn't be saying any of this irl as well as I am through text I'm not defending him of course. He sucks. I just feel a lil iffy about people making fun of a trait I and I'm sure other autistic people share with him :/
I'm frustrated that legitimate news organizations and official services insist on posting there. They are validating the same misinformation they claim to fight. Worse are journalists that still use it as a source for scoops.
Because the publication to audience relationship has inverted. It used to be that people came to specific sources (particular channels, papers, etc.). Now the publications come to where the audience already is and fight for attention. It's a cultural problem, because we've grown too comfortable with being passively shown things instead of actively seeking information out. Granted, publications themselves share some of the blame for caring more about platform control than the viewer experience. I'm still amazed at how many news sites and blogs still don't have a simple RSS feed in the year of our lord 2026.
BINGO! 💯🎯 I truly believe every single synapse in that moment was willing Elon to NOT say that exact thing.. which blocked him from thinking up something else (being that there really can't be any other reason).
The fact that whatever platform showed that interview left in AAALLLLL that deadspace, letting us all watch Elon's face as his brain went on that journey, really is incredible
I want to be fair though. I am on Twitter mostly for baseball content - I try SO hard not to comment on political posts - and it's been good so far. Maybe Musk is leaving sports alone...for now.
I made an account long before Elon took the helm of it and it used to be passable but now ? It's basically mainstream 4chan/8kun and the like. It's even worse if you're LGBT or a minority, as you'll get insta-hosed with a crapton of abuse. The only reason I haven't deleted my account there is because there's still a small handful of artists I follow there and because I prefer to lock it down than relinquish the ID and then have someone else spread hateful shit that'd then boomerang in my face because someone doesn't know it's not my account anymore.
Twitter before X was purchased by Elon was very free format to open discussions, now it’s Elon’s “chat nonsense” with Elon at the head of pundit-Splaining! Like his buddy in the WH both issue none functional nonsense ! Elon is rich on others efforts and others ideas!
Saw that interview clip a month or so back. The interviewers name is Nikhil Kamath. He got an instant follow for not helping or interrupting and letting that moment breathe.
Because he can massively profit off of it while simultaneously silencing any dissenting voices and preventing the rest of us from rebelling against him.
Yep all of Epstein’s crew wants to get rid of poor people. And we’re all poor people to them. Epstein didn’t actually like Elon, but Elon was a pick me for that whole klan.
The Wormtongue comparison Musk made aged exactly like we knew it would coming from a guy who looks like if Grimer Wormtounge and Jack Doherty had a child.
@strangebrew109Callaghan has way less of an agenda. He doesn't literally tell you the conclusion he wants you to draw like the Shirley the daycare stalker
I've really been justifying to myself why I still go on Twitter with "the memes are funnier", or "it has all the trendy news", or "eyewitness accounts upload fast there", or "people I follow are still on there" but honestly: 1. I'll see these memes on TikTok or Insta Reels anyway 2. Trendy news will reach me regardless of if I want to see it or not 3. There will be millions of reuploads of eyewitness accounts with contrasting opinions and AI slop has already infested the 'Recent' tab anyway. 4. It's time I stop caring about content creator's personal lives/dramas and it's not like anyone I know isn't on some other platform too. This gave me the push to finally delete my profile on that hellhole. Thanks, John. 🤝
If you've had your twitter username for a long time, you may want to reconsider deleting your account. As soon as you *delete* your account, someone else can take your username. There will be no way to separate whatever this new person posts with your username from what you actually posted before... the Internet never forgets. So it's safer to just delete all your tweets and then lock your account, and throw away the key. ❤
I dont have Twitter but I was hooked on Facebook for many years. I deleted as soon as I saw Zuckerberg at Trump's inauguration. He's a sellout and I wont be part of any company that bends its knee to fascism.
People that are still on twitter no matter what their reason/excuse is are the people who would show up to a protest and buy merch from the company they are protesting.
@andrevalente93 it’s ok when you’re more proactive about blocking and using filters. Bluesky is where all the people who say “doggo” and “heckin’” went if you’re into that lol. You can’t win either way 😂
I was hoping it was exaggerated or faked or anything less awkward & crazy-making. Nope, fully accurate terrible on display in glorious high definition, low intelligence, navel gazing poo-nado. Jibbers, the timeline split and we somehow ended up in something resembling the Biff Tannen future and the Mr. Fusion was bought off Temu. Cheers!

"a lie can get halfway across the world before the truth can put its pants on" As long as intentional misinformation goes unchecked, society will continue to circle the toilet bowl

He has everything and he is continually tortured because he is still bored and feeling insignificant. This is a monster and an addict...who is utterly out of touch with humanity - his own and others'.
Calling Twitter "Twitter" rather than X is the only acceptable form of deadnaming.
its more of a stepfather trying to force his kid to be called something stupid instead of the name they've had for years.
Twitters is for beta now
I'll stop deadnaming Twitter when Musk stops deadnaming his daughter
@Ko_Kabegami That part.
Yeah because Twitter isn’t a person. Idk why we’re applying a term used for people for a social media website/company. Go outside.
The interviewer who asked Elon "Why is that important?" did a MASTERFUL JOB. Just quietly sitting there waiting for Elon. No facial expression, no prompting to help him answer- just silence. Perfect! No notes!
This is kinda crazy cause that dude is a huge startup founder in India, almost like an Indian Elon? 😂
Yup. Let him hang himself! 😆Also important, though-- John mispronounces 'twat' at 21:50 So out of character for him!
well if you have such a high caliber individual, why wouldn't you let him have the floor and set him up for success with a softball question? He's a genius CEO I hear /s
@GirtonOramsayLike Never interrupt your opponent when he is making a fool of himself? 😂
@GirtonOramsay Maye he should succeed at endeavors which are not antisocial and corrosive to civilization. 👍
The reason that the mainstream media is "an hour behind" news stories is probably because of a professional detail known as checking sources. Something bloggers don't care about.
Yup. By the time "twits" are fact checked, people have already moved on to the next false tweet
When I was a reporter years ago, a "new media" consultant was brought in for a daylong workshop and the one thing she said that I'll never forget is: "In this new age, it's more important to be first than to be accurate." The entire staff laughed her out of the room. What's sad is she's still on a university faculty, training future journalists in this kind of nonsense.
@RosedHat34just out of curiosity, what kind of journalism did you do?
I remember during the first flaming dumpster fire of Trumps time in office seeing a comparison of CNN and Fox where they pointed out CNN has dozens of foreign offices while Fox you could count on one hand.
The right wing doesn't report, they make up claims then "retract" in the middle of the night when no one will see it.
Mainstream media isn't checking sources. They are trying to figure a spin that make trump look good.
Twitter isn't a town square, it's public restroom graffiti.
Recent graffiti - “what ever you do, don’t sit on the seat, the crabs in this place can jump 50 feet”. Enough said. 😂
I daresay that's an insult to restroom graffiti. I've seen some incredible artwork and heartfelt comments scrawled on those stalls!
Right. So don't take it so seriously
@sgt_samples Graffiti was there *way* before Twitter (X) and from when I was a teenager I was inspired by the masterpieces of it. Like 'posts' on Social Media, most of it was trash, but some pieces were true works of art. I guess it just boils down to using and cultivating 'common sense' which posts or 'tags' to take serious or not. One thing everyone should do, no matter where you get off on, is to verify the source of what you read or hear. My 2P
@bjf5027 tell that to the fucking government.
28:00 god bless the interviewer for not interrupting or giving another prompt.
I love when reporters choose not to break awkward silences. "Oh, can't answer? Suffer."
Yeah, that's Nikhil Kamanth (Owner of Zerodha (like Robinhood app but for India)
He is a great podcaster or should I say interviewer. He really actively listens and asks great questions
Also impressed Elon really tried to think of an answer, and didn’t attack the interviewer
@ryjo7804 Well of course Elon didn't insult him, he was talking to a man
That interview was so painful but needed to happen. I can only imagine the first-hand cringe he must have felt when getting that sorry excuse for an answer.
I love the idea of Elon continually retooling Twitter because hes mad that he keeps getting ratioed and nobody likes him
Same. I also love the idea of more people finally calling out his 2024 election fraud activities. Georgia just found evidence against Elon this week but not enough people are talking about it on a larger scale. 😩
“You can lead people to Elon, but you can’t make them like him.”
I hate that idea because look at how its destroying us and everything else
yeah, its almost as funny as jon calling elons actions anti semetic. either he clearly has zero idea how x's shadow bans are entirely based around exposing or bad mouthing isreal, or hes distracting yall like joking about how the gold missing from fort nox isnt a big deal and a joke. i used to love jon. but this is horrible, elon is as pro isreal g3nocide as it gets
It's NOT Elon and it's not liberal bias in the media. The bottom line people just prefer trusting in facts and God's Truth over incindiary lies, hate speech, propaganda indoctrination and gas lighting brainwashing. People love God's Truth, peace and prosperity over Republican treasonous, violence inciting, fabricated lies.
People forget...Elon isn't that smart. He hires rocket scientists and engineers, they build a spaceship, then HE takes credit for building it and claims HE is a rocket scientist. Then he claims his spaceship is the "greatest thing ever" and yet, "oddly", won't take a ride in it.
He's actually kind of a moron
Who the hell has forgotten Elon is a total idiot? Every day he displays his ignorance and stupidity for everyone to see.
Thomas Edison 2.0
No need to discredit him being not smart. Just say his values are off. Creating many successful companies is quite the feat
People need to understand something. Elon wasn't "rejected from Epstein island". He was protected from it. By Epstein. Epstein did not want his star player getting tainted with that location on his itinerary.
This IS the Epstein class. We now live in THEIR world. The files made this abundantly clear. We are all basically forced to participate in THEIR Epstein economy.
They thrive in the manufactured chaos they endlessly plan for. Creating massive societal-level problems so they can sell us their "solutions".
The single most prevalent reason that China is continuing to succeed and out-perform every major nation, more and more every day... is because they do everything in their power to prevent the Epstein class from infiltrating any part of China. It's the entire reason their surveillance state is a total necessity.
Because if China let down their guard for 5 minutes... they'd be torn to shreds. Just like we have in America.
Elon is a big big part of the Epstein class. For him, it's the vessel he needs to become a trillionaire. We need to stop him. We need to stop them all.
I never want to play poker against the guy that interviewed Elon. 😂
That's Nikhil Kamath, a fintech entrepreneur from India.
😂 ya that dude was savage-😐
I raise you trillions of synapses @shivanibundela9139
FYI Gerald is on YT. I repeat Gerald is on YT!! You don’t need to subject yourself to Twitter to enjoy this gem of a human.
I'm hoping he's giving gardening tips. I really want to grow one ridiculously large pumpkin in my tiny garden.
I was aiming at a pair of giant eggplants to give to Elon and Donny T to use together on the island
The hero we need!
And his channel is?
@tinhoyhu His @ on YT is _GeraldsVeg_
lol in 100 years when its a historical footnote, itll still be referred to as twitter
I don't think it'll be a footnote. The bourgeoisie weaponizing social media is a very important aspect of the historical moment we're in.
“Footnote: There was a strange man, whose name has been lost to time, that tried to rename Twitter to X for some reason but no one ever called it that.”
When it’s inevitably officially re-renamed back to Twitter, this entire era will just be a collective fever dream
@birbey-TF2
while social media's weaponization will definitely be discussed and deconstructed at length, i dont think the particular brand names that were/are co-opted by fascist oligarchs will be the primary focus. Kind of like how people remember that fascist rich people bought the news in the prelude to WWII but no one alive today really cares about the names of those newspaper and newsreel companies.
but who knows, future history will read back to the as of yet unborn masses based on all decisions and actions made by everyday people everyday
@glass.hammer
i hope more people wake up faster, this collective dream fucking sucks
How the fuck do you get so broken off reality to not expect a daycare to be locked and not allow strangers in....
I agree. But having ‘LEARING’ instead of ‘LEARNING’ on the front sign doesn’t inspire confidence
The guy is an actual idiot. Like he doesn't understand basic concepts and just repeats canned phrases in interviews. I would feel bad for him if he wasn't continuing to perpetrate right-wing violence.
@PuzzlingChap it’s still a legitimate business but haven’t you considered that maybe a business started by immigrants (who are almost certainly not fluent in English) with very limited resources couldn’t afford to change it after realizing it?
@ubermenschen01 he's a rough looking 23, guarantee you he lied about that too
Dunking on a daycare that protects children so parents can work is sociopathic @PuzzlingChap
Elon is absolute proof that having all the money in the world doesn’t make you smart, or funny, or likable, or capable of raising children, or trying to convince us that you are not a nazi.
He is deeply uncool
Or just plain happy. Dude is miserable.
🎉❤🎉
Or having any class. Just look at Trump.
He is a deeply unhappy man with a massive inferiority complex and the social skills of a 5 year old with a temper tantrum.
You know I'm really worried that the richest, most powerful people in the world are so clearly and publicly insane
You misspelled depraved
relationship
It's wild
Only that kind of insanity could feel good about exploiting the entire world-all of the species on it, and the planet itself.
That kind of power encourages that behavior. My favorite recent analogy is that it’s like they’re playing GTA with all cheat codes on. No consequences and unlimited power cause boredom and thus reckless and destructive behavior. Allow that for 50 years or so and you end up with a class of individuals at the very top that are more depraved than the average person can ever imagine.
27:44 "There's trillions of synapses in our mind" and not a single one was firing in that moment.
It was like 1950's movies where you blew up the sentient computer by asking it a question it couldn't answer.
😂😂😂 exactly
OMG he's a complete idiot!
Got dayumn you beat me to it
@ninehundreddollarluxuryyac5958Elon failed the Turing Test 🫤
Lord help me. It played a starlink ad immediately after finishing the video
"Why do you do the things you do?"
"Uhh.... cells... the universe..."
If the man weren't an intellectual fraud, he would have been horrified at realizing that he's never thought more than one layer deep about this. It demonstrates that he surrounds himself with sycophants.
I mean, it’s shockingly simple to come up with a boilerplate PR response “to unite humanity, exchange ideas etc etc”
I guess his PR team would be concerned that he didn’t head off such an easy question
😂
If he hadn't fired them
Sounds a lot better than saying "To try and start civil wars all over the world because I'm an ketamine addict, actual Nazi loved by no one."
Elon Musk is a perfect reason why Billionnaires need to be taxed out of existence
At least out of being billionaires...
In the 1960 in the USA the marginal tax rate above 4 million was 91%. That created a middle class with almost free education.
Taxed, thrown into a mineshaft or volcano, or a woodchpper, i'm not picky. 😂
And then we can go for the next richest, then the next, then the next.
Are you ready for your wood chipping?
@B@Binturong3850ah I want actual radical, consequences too… taxing them at this point is too generous
Musk's poisoning of twitter is a lot like an accelerated version of what rupert murdoch did to conventional media with fox.
True, but honestly Murdoch was successful to a much larger degree than Musk. The comment sections on those sites will make you lose all hope for humanity.
I've been calling Twitter, the new Fox news. And by that I mean you're more informed by not using it at all.
He will be linked with Hearst and Murdoch in classes on journalism and media in the future. If they still have journalism.😢😢😢
At least Fox now honestly designates itself as an entertainment media outlet because of how opinionated they are and doesn't masquerade as a news outlet like CNN does. 👀
True, Fox showed the rest of the networks that you can sell bullshit and lies to elderly racists.
The magnifying glass graphic is amazing
The grok logo being a representation of a black hole makes sense seeing those gobble up information without returning almost anything.
and also is a good representation of the black hole people go into when they ask Grok for everything instead of actually trying to think or using it like I do to ask educated and well-thought out questions like if Bojack Horseman was a cynical character instead of using it to ask if a post on X by Lori Loughlin was true or if J.K. Rowling was transphobic instead of Daniel Radcliffe
Also energy and water
Grok promotes child sexual abuse! Sick, sick and twisted people.
Alternatively, it can be interpreted as a gaping asshole, which is also an accurate depiction of Grok users.
Nah, it's a fractured a**hole. Like Elon's ego.
Let’s not ignore the obvious:
He purchased Twitter so people would stop making jokes about him.
Edit: Make fun of him ON TWITTER
Your comment deserves 10,000 likes
Let's not ignore that he tells something, and you still believe in it. 😂
Whether true or not 😂
@SomeoneElseNow yeah true, misinformation has gotten to be such an issue on twitter since musk likes it that way
And THAT famously backfired.
Musk will eventually say he created twitter. Like he is done with Tesla and PayPal.
It'll be one step more absurd: he'll claim to have invented social media.
Nah man he’ll go the “I invented Breathing Route”
😂 True.
thats probably the reason for the Namechange
Bro didn't even invent stealing credit for other people's work lmao
Uninstalling Twitter was one of the best decisions I made for my mental health.
I don't have much left outside of socialmedia apps to deflect from my failed existence from poor decisions like internet addiction🥴
@seewhativescene
My advice is get addicted to other parts of the internet. I chose educational content and entertainment from RUclips relevant to computers and tech and ended up learning programming, made websites and now working on a text based menu controlled RPG in Godot programming basically from scratch with gdscript.
You can quit twitter even if you're a failure like me, like most addictions you have to replace it with something but... Its always an option just naturally unappealing compared to addictive behaviours.
Source:
Ex addict of a bunch of stuff, lost my house, most of my friends and in general didn't have skills to fix it all but trying for about a year now and seeing improvement in self esteem and hobbies at least
Glad we're still calling it by it's name. If Elon can deadname his daughter, we can deadname his stupid site.
I just split the difference and call it ex-Twitter. I've heard people called it "xitter", using I guess the Chinese pronunciation of X (SH)?
The thing that floors me about the name change is that companies would KILL to have the brand recognition that Twitter had. You could see it with a tiny, 8x8-pixel pic vaguely resembling a bird. Heck, you could see it by merely a specific shade of blue when in context of other similar icons. Who drops that in favor of the character connected to so many random things that you can't tell *what* it means? Triple-X, X-Men, edgy 90's spelling IIRC, an unknown variable, a previous lover/partner... the only way it could possibly work is if the platform became so ubiquitous that nobody understood the letter by itself to mean anything *but* Twitter, and...
...y'know what, I can see Elon thinking that that would happen. Yeah.
Reminds me of the line someone said about store apps: They're pushing these out like teachers who assign homework as if *they're* the only class a student has to deal with. What hubris.
Wow so stunning and brave. “Deadnaming” an app 😹 get a grip
🫵😆@zxqe49283 _seething_
@zxqe49283 Why do you care what someone else does or doesn’t do that doesn’t affect you? Talk about needing to get a grip…..
@brian5oI don’t care, I just think it’s dumb. And if you find it empowering then you are pathetic.
"finish each other's prison sentences" made me cackle
Not a single real comment on this video. All paid left wing crap. Maybe a couple real comments ok but it's still sad. Funny to see this fail lol.
@navnishbhardwaj3436oh geez thanks mate!
@navnishbhardwaj3436 you can get paid just for posting RUclips comments?!? You should join them then! You seem like the perfect type of person to fall for a grifter offering easy passive income sources
@navnishbhardwaj3436 your desperation for relevance is noted.
Not by me, but noted.
@navnishbhardwaj3436 I doubt everyone here is left wing but you are clearly right wing
Ironically, Elon turned Twitter into what he claimed it was.
Twitter these days has the most depraved takes you can possibly imagine. Its a horrid mix of all sorts of hate speech, elitism, cynical views on humanity and the world, its all terrible.
@YouCanCallMeReTroDownloaded it for first time in like a year several days ago.
First posts I came across were shocking yet not surprising.
Racism, Islamaphobia, misinformation, anti-semitism, men saying women are inferior, women saying world would be a better place if all men were gone, some more racism, dehumanization, Islamaphobic posts especially were a trend because of Ramadan, (one of the tweets I came across was a video, the content was a muslim man celebrating his daughter's 5th birthday, they were both happy and joyful and cute together, the caption of that tweet was "a muslim man celebrating the wedding of his new wife, these are the people we import into our countries")
and all those posts had thousands of likes lmao.
I deleted it today and I dont think i might download it ever again
TLDR: I downloaded twitter for first time in long time and regretted it
That’s what all of them on the extreme right have done.
My dad was a huge Alex Jones listener, I spent much of my early adult years hearing about how the government was making encampments to lock up dissenting US citizens and how our own military was going to be turned onto the people they’re supposed to protect. And it’s happened! I’ve watched for decades as the far right yelled and screamed only to turn around and do the very thing they warned about because in their opinion “They had to do it before the other side did it.”
Uh huh. Sure. I’m more disgusted by the fact that their tactic has worked.
@mysticpirate You're delusional. The existence of this show and your entire comment invalidates your "lock up dissenting US citizens" argument.
Every accusation is an admission.
"There is Trillions of Synapses in your mind, and oh boy could I need one firing with any idea right about now, but I got nothing."
Carl Sagan would've left Elon's messages on read
27:57 the interviewer did a great job letting him flounder on such a simple question
Who is that dude
@paulyflynn his name is Nikhil Kamath
@paulyflynnfounder of India's biggest trading Platform
Sometimes not every question demands an immediate answer like what did you have for breakfast today. The question literally is why is trying to achieve a collective consciousness through the internet where each human is like a neuron in the brain important. Maybe you are too dumb to not see the depth there.
@Birbakhele I think (hard to tell through your interesting choice of grammar) your may have entirely missed my point. I literally was saying "good job" about the interviewer.
If you were confused about maybe a use of sarcasm, try asking for clarification next time.
Remember when the CEO got murdered? Elon decided to take his kid around as a human shield.
Which CEO was?
@SomeoneElseNowUnited healthcare
@SomeoneElseNowUnited health
I prefer the word exterminated.
Murder is an unjustified killing. That wasn't murder.
Where is the Epstein episode?
Why did you not talk about his connection to Epstein? The evidence is clear as day and relevant af.
whining like a child so he could go touch one 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
On Christmas day.
Wildest party Elon...
@billysastard8779 jeff was afraid Elon would take any wildness out of them
Yep I did see those e-mails of his begging.
Those childcare centers in Minnesota need to absolutely CRUSH Nick Shirley with defamation suits.
Damage has been done, chaos unrest violence literal murders of citizens by govt agents
Except there was Fraud; Nick Shirley definitely wasn't doing things properly, but he found Fraud & called it out to the Public.
Now that the Public have started questioning things, and none of the State or Federal Funds had been properly used; the first thing the Mainstream Media did was attack Nick Shirley & call him racist.
@joseguadalupemartineztorre9702,
He accused childcare centers operated by brown people of committing fraud, and he never provided any evidence. That definitely sounds pretty racist.
@joseguadalupemartineztorre9702
This just factually isn't true and you should review your sources
I did not expect Elon clumsily stuttering in front of a camera for what seemed like an eternity to give me so much joy today.
just like aoc
same!
@mclovin2123 she's never taken that long to answer anything
It gave me a decade’s worth of secondhand embarrassment due to how long it was 😅
I was a guest at shareholder meeting in NYC last fall, and the Muskrat was the featured guest speaker. For nearly an hour he spoke in nonsensical gibberish just like this. I don’t think he finished a coherent thought during the entire interview.
It wasn’t much of a leap to conclude he was on drugs of some sort or his synapses are now misfiring as a result of that. More astonishing to me is how many believe in this guy.
Gerald with the big cabbage is a legend. I follow his advice on growing carrots too. Champion gardener.
Is Mr Gerald only on Twitter??? I would looove to see his content but i dont have an account there
@hiltonrickson5182RUclips channel. Get you some!!
@hiltonrickson5182 He has a youtube channel named "Gerald Stratford", its pretty cool
Is this the man with the purple cabbage jacket!? 😮
@hiltonrickson5182I've seen his videos on RUclips, he has the biggest cabbages and he's so proud of them. Lovely person
1:47 My dad, who got me watching Last Week Tonight in the first place, was a huge LOTR fan. He would've felt so called out by this joke lol. May he rest in peace.
Edit: Thank you guys for the kind comments ❤️
RIP to your wonderful dad 🤍
Hail the victorious dead!
Rest in piss lmao
I read all of the books as a teen but when the movie came out Bakshi's rotoscoping turned me off.
I'm still waiting for a better adaptation to revive my interest. (I did like Nimoy's Bilbo song though.)
I hope that your father rest well in heavens embrace
What kills me is that things like the daycare propaganda get circulated so well that, here in Vancouver, I had left-leaning or non-political coworkers talking to me about it like it was real news.
We aren't even in the states and we're getting it. The general public doesn't have any media literacy, and we're incredibly susceptible to propaganda via the internet. Makes me deeply sad.
Elon choking on the collective consciousness question like a high schooler who didn't at all study for the final exam.
he didnt want to say the real reason which is he wants to use it as a tool for political power and to make more money
@gristen this is obvious, yes.
@gristen he wants to outshine his great idol:
Joseph Goebbels
spreading lies, misinformation and inciting violence in other nations to then take it over and brainwash the population.
He couldn't say what it's REALLY for so his brain got stuck in a causality loop! He can't let us know how evil and dumb he really is!
He was asked an impossible question. What is your answer to "why should people get a vote?"
People who call for "civil war" have never seen war. Nobody who has actually seen the violence of war would ever want it around their family, friends, or loved ones.
When conservatives say "war" they are merely envisioning themselves murdering unarmed people.
Musk is from South Africa. He is very, very butthurt about the end of Apartheid. It's personal for him. He's seen civil war, and lost. And everyone in the world will keep paying for his discomfort.
@Vohlfied They have the false notion that they would easily win because liberals are soft and weak. Not considering that it's first of all false, nor any concerns over logistics or organization
Ya, but these are the same people that watch too many Hollywood action movies and see the world through shallow performative fantasy where the hero always wins and themselves as the obvious heroes. Reality would quickly change that notion.
This! Everybody says the same thing about a revolutions too not understanding that they overwhelmingly are bloody conflicts (not saying we don’t need one but if you want to change systems you have to accept the norm has to die, and sometimes sadly too.)
Born and raised outside a military base here in the US. Researched Fascism since the 1960s. Didn't take long to get kicked off Twitter.
don't even try to criticize Israel's genocide there
Yeah... sane, educated takes based in reality and a solid understanding of history aren't exactly welcome over there these days.
@ChinaMitHaraldand it's really sad to think that even if the dums take back the house AIPAC has their balls in a vice and will just squeeze at any thought of accusing them of just what they are doing...😮
And that is enough to know we can be friends

16:30 “I don’t watch tv much because it’s 12-24 hrs behind what’s actually happening. Instead, I watch Nick Shirley, who is 100 years behind what is actually happening.”
That part!
or libs of tik tok, which is 4000 years behind
Nick has more honesty and integrity in his little finger than John has in his entire body. I can't believe I used to to think this guy did honest journalism but his coverage of Nick trying to paint him as a far/alt right spinster has proven the perspective I had wrong. Now I have to go back and find all the other lies and manipulation I was fed as the truth from all his other videos. I'm incredibly disappointed; in myself and in this program. I knew that things were presented in a left-ish learning way but I thought this was about the closest thing on the internet to good objective journalism and now sadly the veil has been removed. I should be thanking John for finally outing himself and finally getting it over with but I just feel betrayed. 😮💨
@k@keensbeanzcause whether he realizes it or not, he’s doing far right work. How tf is he honest when he didn’t even acknowledge that kids wouldn’t be at a f*cking day care outside of business hours? Or why they wouldn’t just leave the place open for any random dude with a camera to come stare at the kids? Or the difference between 55 specific day cares being investigated for fraud and accusing the entire day care system?
Grow up. Save the novel for someone who is also a god forsaken idiot.
@keensbeanztldr
The Hames Harden strip club correlation has been around for a while. Lol
I equate "Social Media" to Teflon. It seemed like a really good idea in the beginning, but ended up poisoning the world.
Teflon - TF = ELON
Coincidence 🤔🤣
For some of us, FB is communication w/so many lost friends.
Great correlation
or asbestos
but that’s more AI
I.e. an industry gets created to remove said industry padded in society with touted benefits
Good one
Elon talking about a collective consciousness as if the Borg wouldn’t reject him instantly.
Yeah, I have to imagine a collective consciousness with a survival instinct would make it priority #1 to hunt down every single billionaire bastard.
@Kro@Krooglesean yes, but this is more of an insult because _even_ the borg would reject him. They only reject individuals who are too unique and threaten their unity or whole species that are so insignificant and worthless to their supremacist vision.
Guess where Elon Musk falls.
Musk on christmas day. Begging to be allowed in the Borg maturation chamber
Absolutely SCATHING LMAO
@glasshammer “We are the Borg… You will be assimilated… Resistance is fu… ooop… NOT you, Elon… Go on, git outta here shoo! We are the Borg… You will be assimilated… GIT! He’s trying to cling to the cube, 11of16… Get the cube scraper… Ugh.”
Thank you HBO Max for keeping this show running.
The only bullets Trump has dodged so far is accountability for his crimes.
Touche!
We need people to be able to get to the polls and maybe future elections will have higher participation
TBF his ear dodged that one too.
Well said Blazko!
Where the fuck have you been?
Elon wants Twitter to be humanities "collective consciousness" so he can control it. Simple. It's flat out world domination phantasies.
Uh you misspelled parasites😂.
Elon is a parasite.
That’s exactly why he couldn’t think of any other reason. Like asking Lex Luther how the ultimate death ray is going to fulfill human needs.
@thecomfortinthesound Ugh, Lex Luther, Blofeld, et al. Remember when Billionaire sociopath super villians were at least charming and cheeky funny, not funny sad?
It's worse than that. He thinks himself Bob Page
The Eli Lily Tweet went down as one of the best tweets in history. Bar none.
Specifically because their stocks plummeted as a result, for any readers unaware of that part
AFAIK they have official "affordable" insulin programs for low income people too, in response to that tweet and backlash
@amazingkoolYep. That was glorious to watch lmao.
That was a good one. I think the Tesla tweet was funnier. The poster child for the phrase "Be careful what you wish for"
I LOVE how the interviewer just sits there quietly and lets Elon sink himself. Absolutely beautiful tactic.
I can't believe I used to believe the PR spin that this guy was a genius.
Same...
I second that! 100%
Yep, one of the things I am most embarrassed about.
Well, you realized it is all BS, so that's a good thing
Me too
"The reason for acquiring Twitter was, I made a deal I literally couldn't back out of and was forced to buy it for more than it was worth."
And he only started it because he was trying to bully Twitter into doing what he wanted.
Weren't the numbers something like Twitter was valued at 12 to 14 billion dollars and Musk paid $44 billion?
Unfortunately the superpower of this man is making whatever he sinks his claws on profitable and getting his money's worth of.
hehe , you must be butt hurt its still running and not going anywhere, and a day will come where it is the most used app
@vdjkim < It's Leon's personal fluffer, here to defend his master's honor.
40 trillion cells, 100 trillion synaptic connections and not a one could muster a coherent thought
So well that is or equal to Trump's I.Q.muster of his low class reasoning and follower abilities
Elon MUSK knew the answer, but he dare not say it: that coherent global human consciousness that he aims for would do what he instructs it to do, and we know that none of that would be good.
he answered it
@gylgameshofuruk I was thinking his answer was:
"I just want to find at least one person who likes me"
His damaged emotional inner child would never be able to allow that thought out of his subconscious. Those synaptic connections were burned away a long time ago.
27:10 watching Elons brain buffer like it's 1998 dialup, priceless. 🤣
The drugs he takes combined with a reliance on AI and sycophants saying how cool he is can't be helping his intellect.
Man has invented new ways to say "Uh."
He couldn't give the answer he wanted to, which is having the whole world speaking in unison... his right wing bulshit
Was it buffering or did he have the awareness that his actual answer was unacceptable?
@IanCaine4728 You know what, thank you for pointing this out- I hadn't made the link with how reocurring his AI use has to be on a daily basis but this makes a lot of sense, substances aside. The science is still in its infancy, AI is still on the rise and we lack the proper framework that a history of studies would provide, but I'm starting to see articles floating around re: the possible impact of AI on decision-making and skill acquisition; considering neuroplasticity is a thing and seeing how some lost skills or processes can sometimes be re-trained to a degree, I'm inclined to believe there is at least _some_ truth to the fears of cognitive atrophy...
Given that Elon Musk is both very high-profile and seems increasingly reliant on AI, he himself would likely make for a pretty telling case study if not for the added substance abuse factor.
There is a Grima Wormtongue in this regime named Stephen Miller, and it whispers the plans of Mordor to an addled would-be king.
I’d love to see Trump lead a doomed heroic charge to redeem himself and save the realms of men
Miller is the American Larentiy Beria.
Stephen Miller is Temu Joseph Goebbels.
Yes, I'd argue Wormtongue was less evil than Stephen "Heinrich Himmler is my hero" Miller.
@Ntwolf1220 Can we skip that part and just go to the bit where we throw a dead horse on top of him?😊
Nobody calls it X lol. Twitter forever.
I don’t use it and I still call it twitter
Xitter
I still never called it x
@stinkyman202 Sitter or another pronunciation: Shitter.
@E@EagleVireonever used it as well
Never had twitter, never had TikTok 💪
I like to imagine that "push up glasses" was literally on the teleprompter.
😂
*it was implied 🎉🎉🎉
Time for Uncle Johnny's Half Hour of Sad and Disturbing Facts
LMFAO TRUE 😭😭.
Let us hear some bad news in funny way.
@chengkuoklee5734Only way I can get through hearing most of everything going on right now! The late night shows & some news comedy accounts here on YT which I’ve verified as reliable are how I get most info.
These days, we call those “facts”
It's how i spend every Monday morning. Cause if you have to start off a Monday, why not do it with Uncle Johnny and his sad and disturbing facts?
I deleted Twitter when it started blasting me with his propaganda every day.
Same, i had blocked over 1000 right wing accounts and they just kept coming. I fear thats gonna be tik tok soon.
I didn't even wait... I did as soon as the sale was announced...
it's all propaganda, John is propaganda, that's the internet now and for some time.
@Real_SkyRipperAt least you get it.
@Epags1996just leave the site. My god haha.
feeling very seen with the venn diagram
One circle to rule them all.
Lmao same
Remember, if an airline installs Starlink on their fleet, they have decided this is not a deal breaker.
Peter Thiel and Elon Musk would be funny if they weren't evil super villains who threaten the very survival of humanity.
but thats exactly why they're funny tho
Musk is a Phillip K Dick villain come to life and no one can convince me otherwise.
I remember when the 2023 Maui wildfires were happening, I went on Twitter hoping to find real-time information. All the top search results were about how the fires were started by space lasers.
I forget which natural disaster it was, but I remember going on Twitter for information to find out if my friends and their families would be safe only to find my feed flooded with right wing accounts saying that it was caused by weather control guns created by the Jews.
It would be funny if it wasn’t so obvious. Space lasers started the wildfires? That sounds like some stoner shh.
@Ko_KabegamiWhat damn multiverse did we end up in? The worst comedy skit ever? This administration
*Jewish space lasers to be precise
Jewish space lasers non the less
Why is Elon musk perpetually cosplaying a U.S. born citizen lol
Right? He’s an African immigrant 😂
The irony in all this.
It's Xitter now, pronounced "shitter"
Brilliant lol 😂
Why not sex instead of x?
The corollary being that the verb to "tweet" is now "xit" (pronounced shit).
I still call it Twatter.
Someone old twitter user found the name vulgar [been calling it shitter myself awhile], then i showed them grok. Another xitter (shitter) name adoptor immediately. 😅
Woke up at midnight from chronic pain.
Checked RUclips.
Recieved this dubious gift.
I'm in the same boat, Chronic pain sucks, I hope you get some relief.
I was still up, chronic pain too and a sleep disorder without knowledge of the 24 hour cycle. I feel ya both! Hope you're surviving LWT and all the rest.
Same here
How many times a week do you mention chronic pain ?
@jess_n_atx i'm gonna go with a conservative estimate of about 4% of the times that it's a significant thing to mention in their life. so, very often.
"You may think you already know how bad it is or that it doesn’t matter to you, but it’s actually worse than you think for reasons you may not know and in ways that will unfortunately impact all of us” might as well be the tagline for the show at this point 😆
Right? That line could fit seamlessly into literally every episode of this show that has been or will be made. And sadly I don't think they'll ever run out of topics 😭
The problem with Twitter is allowing the criticism of The Sacred Four, (The Sacred Four are 4 protected groups that Western nations agreed to honor and protect: 1-Israel 2-LGBTQ and 3-Feminism 4-Sex Workers).
Luckily we are going to pass strong laws to treat any criticism of the Sacred Four as an act of terrorism, especially the criticism of Israel and LGBTQ.
@operacarmen What the hell are you talking about? Also, did you like your own comment? Lmao
@semaj_5022You must be anti-semite and homophobic ... I DO NOT SPEAK WITH TERRORISTS .. GOOD-BYE
Basically
11:40 - wait, wait, so Elon... wants to be TOM OF MYSPACE? But for TWITTER??????
...
What a moron.
🤣
26:33 this is what ketamine does to you when mixed with whatever else is in his drug briefcase.
Coming from someone that is a recovering addict, Im guessing a shit ton of coke mixed with an unhealthy dose of narcissism
Drugs and "yes men" make for a powerful mix.
Yes, and just this morning I watched a news story (abc)about ketamine being used for depression in teens. What could go wrong?
Bro don't understand how they abuse this. I was given this for an out patient procedure. I was in a white room in my mind and I hated it.
As someone who's autistic that may just be an autism thing. I have to pause like that all the time before talking because it's hard for me to come up with the correct words to say in a timely manner
I can think just fine, thinking is easy, but translating those thoughts into something understandable through speech is very difficult. I certainly wouldn't be saying any of this irl as well as I am through text
I'm not defending him of course. He sucks. I just feel a lil iffy about people making fun of a trait I and I'm sure other autistic people share with him :/
I'm frustrated that legitimate news organizations and official services insist on posting there. They are validating the same misinformation they claim to fight. Worse are journalists that still use it as a source for scoops.
Like the Hunter Biden laptop story?
Because the publication to audience relationship has inverted. It used to be that people came to specific sources (particular channels, papers, etc.). Now the publications come to where the audience already is and fight for attention. It's a cultural problem, because we've grown too comfortable with being passively shown things instead of actively seeking information out. Granted, publications themselves share some of the blame for caring more about platform control than the viewer experience. I'm still amazed at how many news sites and blogs still don't have a simple RSS feed in the year of our lord 2026.
It's a cash grab.
@jmfern329 our federal government is engaged in a massive CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING RING cover up
@Zymaric agreed?
"The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but twitter."
The word«Billionaire» should be tabu and a curse word at this point😂😭
27:13 "Why is that important?" - "Because I control it."
BINGO! 💯🎯 I truly believe every single synapse in that moment was willing Elon to NOT say that exact thing.. which blocked him from thinking up something else (being that there really can't be any other reason).
That's what he wanted to say.
The fact that whatever platform showed that interview left in AAALLLLL that deadspace, letting us all watch Elon's face as his brain went on that journey, really is incredible
I never got on twitter... realized I dodged a bullet.
I want to be fair though. I am on Twitter mostly for baseball content - I try SO hard not to comment on political posts - and it's been good so far. Maybe Musk is leaving sports alone...for now.
neither have I, also no snapchat, and got onto facebook a month ago to know when my running club has an event
Me too! Matrix-style like ai trump 🤣
I'm proud of myself for having blocked Elon when it was still Twitter
I made an account long before Elon took the helm of it and it used to be passable but now ? It's basically mainstream 4chan/8kun and the like. It's even worse if you're LGBT or a minority, as you'll get insta-hosed with a crapton of abuse.
The only reason I haven't deleted my account there is because there's still a small handful of artists I follow there and because I prefer to lock it down than relinquish the ID and then have someone else spread hateful shit that'd then boomerang in my face because someone doesn't know it's not my account anymore.
14:30 This is giving the same energy as Bella Swan just searching up "Vampires." 😂
We will always keep calling it Twitter. It rolls off the tongue nicely 😊
Friends don't let friends use Twitter.❤
Enjoy your empty safe space Bluesky where no opinions or facts can reach you
Twitter is less than useless. Amen.
Twitter before X was purchased by Elon was very free format to open discussions, now it’s Elon’s “chat nonsense” with Elon at the head of pundit-Splaining!
Like his buddy in the WH both issue none functional nonsense !
Elon is rich on others efforts and others ideas!
Saw that interview clip a month or so back. The interviewers name is Nikhil Kamath. He got an instant follow for not helping or interrupting and letting that moment breathe.
Nobody tell John that photo he showed off Minas Tirith did not show the outermost wall. Peter Jackson didn't include the outermost wall in the movies.
Civilizational collapse: That is what Elon wants.
These ghouls want to instate feudalism 2.0
Because he can massively profit off of it while simultaneously silencing any dissenting voices and preventing the rest of us from rebelling against him.
Yep all of Epstein’s crew wants to get rid of poor people. And we’re all poor people to them. Epstein didn’t actually like Elon, but Elon was a pick me for that whole klan.
The America oligarchs will have so much more buying power if AI displaces humans and leads to a massive recession.
They want the Network state, which is about the same thing. See Dave Troy, America 2.0 or the Nerd Reich, for example.
The Wormtongue comparison Musk made aged exactly like we knew it would coming from a guy who looks like if Grimer Wormtounge and Jack Doherty had a child.
Leon Skum
Elon Dogetongue
Melon Husk.
Don't do Brad Dourif dirty like that. He brings style to every role.
Oh! I love to hate me some Brad Dourif❣️ That actor brings *menace* to every role he performs, it seems.
“Great Journalist” and “Nick Shirley” in the same sentence is having Cronkite rolling over in his grave
The worst part is that he did more than most people with one RUclips video
@LucasMcSomthin exactly..called balls
Right, Andrew Callaghan is better because he speaks in slang?
@strangebrew109Callaghan has way less of an agenda. He doesn't literally tell you the conclusion he wants you to draw like the Shirley the daycare stalker
@BlueSkullFish Yes he does. He’s clearly a leftist and tells the audience what to think
OMG! Elon Musk is even crazier than I thought.
It's even worse. 😂
I've really been justifying to myself why I still go on Twitter with "the memes are funnier", or "it has all the trendy news", or "eyewitness accounts upload fast there", or "people I follow are still on there" but honestly:
1. I'll see these memes on TikTok or Insta Reels anyway
2. Trendy news will reach me regardless of if I want to see it or not
3. There will be millions of reuploads of eyewitness accounts with contrasting opinions and AI slop has already infested the 'Recent' tab anyway.
4. It's time I stop caring about content creator's personal lives/dramas and it's not like anyone I know isn't on some other platform too.
This gave me the push to finally delete my profile on that hellhole. Thanks, John. 🤝
Delete your account and be free. 💜
If you've had your twitter username for a long time, you may want to reconsider deleting your account. As soon as you *delete* your account, someone else can take your username. There will be no way to separate whatever this new person posts with your username from what you actually posted before... the Internet never forgets. So it's safer to just delete all your tweets and then lock your account, and throw away the key. ❤
Never have had never will😂
Welcome to a better life
I dont have Twitter but I was hooked on Facebook for many years. I deleted as soon as I saw Zuckerberg at Trump's inauguration. He's a sellout and I wont be part of any company that bends its knee to fascism.
0:20 ITS GERALD! What a small Internet?!
He’s also on RUclips now, if I remember correctly so I’m glad that even though I deleted my Twitter…he survived.
@TheRunningLeopardthat’s where I watch his vids. I’ve been subscribed for like the last 6 or so months.
Honestly, when someone says that they use Twitter it's a red flag at this point.
The Nazis and bots can take Twitter from my cold dead hands, it was a fun spot before Elon opened the gates for right-wing freaks
It's all Neo-nazi hate speech anyway
Absolutely. Right up there with Facebook. If someone uses either one I just assume any conversation with them will be a massive waste of time.
Hey, I still use it, but I block far-right accounts.
@coryspang7548so, you hear digital crickets,then?
People that are still on twitter no matter what their reason/excuse is are the people who would show up to a protest and buy merch from the company they are protesting.
Left that cesspool last year and haven't missed it for a second.
What site are you in? I want to leave it but I get FOMO and don't know where to go
@andrevalente93 it’s ok when you’re more proactive about blocking and using filters. Bluesky is where all the people who say “doggo” and “heckin’” went if you’re into that lol. You can’t win either way 😂
@bogjuice That sounds heckin great... I don't see the problem there.
@IraFox84 they have their own version of brain worms unfortunately
Underrated post
Twitters purpose is to ferment violence and anger.
Yep, ferment AND foment..
I see what you did there. 👍😝
I love when I wake up to a new Last Week Tonight...
Ah yes;
Last Week Tonight This Morning
Almost makes Mondays tolerable. 🙂
Yesss 🙌
Same 💯
My god, just one of those cabbage leaves could make a whole salad!
reminder that the richest man in the world is in the files
As is the President of the US
trying to invite himself to the parties and getting ignored 😀 If Elon didn't **** girls, it's not because he's a decent person…
Elon was begging Epstein to let him on the Island.
Did you miss the part where Epstein was a Jewish supremacist? But y'all keep saying class consciousness is more valid than antisemitism.
28:08 that was physically painful to endure.
I was hoping it was exaggerated or faked or anything less awkward & crazy-making.
Nope, fully accurate terrible on display in glorious high definition, low intelligence, navel gazing poo-nado.
Jibbers, the timeline split and we somehow ended up in something resembling the Biff Tannen future and the Mr. Fusion was bought off Temu.
Cheers!
> Have you ever had a dream that you, um, you had, your, you- you could, you’ll do, you- you wants, you, you could do so, you- you’ll do, you could- you, you want, you want him to do you so much you could do anything?
He is clearly high on K.
indeed.
My CRINGE-reflex is too high for this SCHITT!!!
"a lie can get halfway across the world before the truth can put its pants on"
As long as intentional misinformation goes unchecked, society will continue to circle the toilet bowl
like cancer, the good cells get overpowered by the malicious growth. If nothing is done, the host gets eaten from within. There are ways to heal, but not by fostering the source of the sickness
Unfortunately most of it is Disinformation... the difference is if the information is wrong on purpose
And AI isn't helping things.
And that quote came CENTURIES before "The Information Age." Updated, "A lie can result in a global riot before truth can put its pants on."
To be fair, it's because a lie never bothers to put on its pants.
18:34 - Yeah, attack a legit journalist who did more work than you but was "flimzy" in a sense that he was blunt and not consulted by lawyers.
27:52 and there is a trillion dollars in my wallet. And there is a trillion stars in the universe. And there is a trillion ketamine in me.
yes there is!
Yeah, he was high as Fu@k!
It's like you can see the thought "Boy, I wish I had some Ketamine to snort" rolling around in his skull.
He has everything and he is continually tortured because he is still bored and feeling insignificant. This is a monster and an addict...who is utterly out of touch with humanity - his own and others'.
Sounds like when my edible is kicking in and im trying to get off the phone with my friend
I love the refusal to call Twitter anything other than Twitter.
Everyone i know calls it X now. Most do. Dumb.
Remember it was always Twitter. X does not exist.
Denial is always the first stage of grief.
@GreysonAuctorThat would be excellent message to tell Erica Kirk
@Feefa99 OH SHOOT! YOU WENT THERE!?!
(I'm not disagreeing but still 😂)
@Feefa99 She went from surprised, immediately to self-marketing and happiness. Everything else in between was moments of weakness.😂
Twitter sucked before Elon bought it
This doesn’t even mention how many bots are likely on twitter that just repost anything popular for more views
Actually, the outermost wall of Minas Tirith is the Rammas Echor which protects the Pelennor Fields, and it is, in fact, not circular but oblong.
Thank you for your service ❤
Talk nerdy to me ❤
be still my heart
Truer words were never spoken
I only wish there was another round object to compare to in Lord of the RINGS...
I love how everyone still calls it Twitter 😁
I call it twatter.
@SpielkindFR Call it by Blood Bowl 2's parody name "Twerper."
Just goes to show how good Twitter's brand was and how stupid it was to (attempt to) throw it away.
If Elon can deadname his daughter, we can and should deadname his website.
The X is silent 😅
