It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

He spends all day on twitter and yet he's 10 years behind the times on memes.

Musk has levels of loser divorced dad energy never before seen

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

He truly is the most divorced dad in the world.

He even has sock puppet alts post pictures of LLM-conjured children hugging him because his own actual kids mostly hate him.

One of my chuddiest relatives, who is also a my-hero stan and devoted Gambohead, only recently started obsessing about steampunk shit.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Damn, Steampunk was old hat when the hipsters got to it

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, same chud started talking about escape rooms at the same time. grillman

Was this fella cryogenically stored at one point?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

He has a self-described "man cave" that hasn't had guests in like a decade because he's that offputting, like telling old men at a dinner party about how extensive his Skyrim naked/sex mod collection is (sort of like a poorer Notch), so in a way, sort of.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago (2 children)

He's been trying to make "X" cool since he was balding in the 90s.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The fucking ZYBERTRUKKK is based off of some really old computer game about designing cars and that blocky-ass design, according to the game's assessment system, was "perfect" and he never let that go.

The doge meme is laughable but what's more ridiculous is he thinks he can make an organization more efficient. No, working your engineers with unpaid overtime so much that it's routinely expected they'll quit in 6 months and land a better job is not efficient. Being forced to buy an overpriced, unprofitable website for $44 billion when your pump and dump scheme failed is not efficient. Losing all your market share on electric vehicles because you farmed out tax credits to your competitors without scaling up production in your 10 year head start is not efficient. I almost hope that he does get his pet Department made so he can fail even more publicly than he already has.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 months ago (1 children)

he thinks he can make an organization more efficient

He turned Twitter from a 44 billion purchase to a 10 billion and dropping liability and his narcissism compels him to go bigger than that.

Most Divorced Man In History

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 months ago

tbh this is exactly what a 53 year old divorced man would post

I almost reported this to the mods for harm. This is weaponised cringe cringe

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

mods! mods!! I don't like this post, we need another new comm, some kind of cringe_tank for posts like this!!

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago

For a second I thought he actually took the time to take that picture. Then you zoom in and see his eye, nope shitty ai image

When he's so insecure that he needs to have the treat printers produce "cooler" versions of himself for selfies, again and again and again kombucha-disgust

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

Yeah for a second I thought he actually posed for this picture. Dreaming it up in Grok is 100 times more pathetic.

I take it Milei in Argentina is the equivalent of Elongated Muskrat here in amerikkka

So to get an idea of what it would look for melon-musk to get any kind of position in US Gov't, we should look at Argentina - with ancaptain being the worst case scenario.

Do I have that correct?

EDIT: Just wanted to add, Milei fucks his sister.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (5 children)

I think the comparison is apt, though I wonder if Milei's stans see him as a humanity saving super genius or not.

I do know he shares the hobby of posting glorified versions of himself made by LLM treat printers... like showing himself as a Terminator punching old people seeking retirement benefits.

The last 3 years have conditioned me to see anyone posting Doge, or who has Doge as avatar as an absolute loser. At best.

Usually though they are the kinds of people that belong in barbara-pit

The NAFO thing reinforced that.

FWIW, the man is laundering mad stacks of cash this way.

So like, yeah it's insanely cringe.

But he's got a point (to be shilling this hard for crypto on a rotational basis lol)

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

Goddamnit Xi, hurry the fuck up already.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fuck Elon for making cyberpunk cringe.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago (5 children)

to be fair... it doesnt help that cyberpunk itself is infested with liberals and dont tread on me morons :/

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Who at this point thinks Musk is an expert on efficiency?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He's very efficient at making the K-hole.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

michael-laugh got me there. I guess he has been efficient at destroying twitter (now x, the everything app)

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

I would certainly trust the divorced guy with a giant fake gold chain with “efficiency.”

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is that an AI-generated image, or a photo? And which would be cringier?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's another LLM-printed treat. He doesn't take selfies much anymore.

When Musk says he works 100 hours per week, this is what he's referring to.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

He will make the Zybertrukkks run on time!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

the Departamentul Securității Statului should do unspeakable horrors to this man
