"Allegedly"

Dude was caught grinding on camera. Nothing alleged about it.

Can you overdose and die from ketamine? Can he...? Please??

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

No, but it lowers the iq ...

When people do stupid things you might ask them "are you on drugs?" Sarcastically. In this case it was a serious question. At the highest level.

Has anyone else noticed that we don't have many dystopian/apocalyptic movies but way more documentaries these days?

[-] [email protected] 13 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, you could tell. This isn't really news, just a confirmation.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

Seems most of the people feel confirmed yet.

[-] [email protected] 33 points 13 hours ago

no waaaaay! really? wow.... positively shocked

[-] [email protected] 27 points 14 hours ago

I just got a three day ban from Reddit for saying he should up his intake by 10x.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 6 hours ago

Why are you still on Reddit?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Because not everyone has an autistic level of dislike for it.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 5 hours ago

Don't kink shame. A humiliation fetish is perfectly respectable.

Nope, only ketamine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms

[-] [email protected] 25 points 16 hours ago

is that news?

he's visibly high in some videos

[-] [email protected] 11 points 14 hours ago

What? Somebody thought he would stop his habit after taking office? Also when in Rome, get high with the Romans... I don't think Trump even switches on without the right substances.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 13 hours ago

Not enough drugs to redeem his incredible amounts of evil and cringe

Fascists love their drugs don’t they?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

To be fair we all love our drugs. Unless you like to be sober, that's cool too.

Edit: Musk is a piece of shit either way, no excuses there.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

Yeah but there's a difference between smoking a bowl in the comfort and safety of your home versus taking mind altering substances while making major economic and policy decisions for a country...

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Well. I would argue that drug use is all about hammering reality into a tolerable/enjoyable shape. Fascists by definition also transform through force. The key distinction seems to be a drug user themselves become transformed through chemical force, where as the fascist forces others to change using violence/threat of violence. In both cases though, there exists a certain egomaniacal reluctance to meet the terms of reality, and instead attempt to change the terms through force. There is a very consistent common bond between the hyper wealthy, the tyrannical, and the drug dependant, to be very stubborn and narcissistic. In all three, the ego is driving the bus, and there is some corruption with self esteem. In all three there is a fundamental inability to accurately assign value. A lot of money/power/release is never enough. The only acceptable amount is "more". And the compulsion to find more: wealth, or power, or opportunity to use substances, becomes the whole point of waking life. Until it's just you and the compulsion in the world alone, and every thing and every one else is just a puzzle you solve to get more like a rat in an experiment. Long story short, people at odds with reality tend to use similar and often overlapping tactics to get by. What do the tyrant, the drug addict, and the billionaire all have in common? A singular focus to fill an unfillable hole.

The Fascism-to-Incontinence pipeline is real.

No.

Fuck this guy. Let him be the most sober person who did what he did, when he did it. No excuses.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours ago

You cannot be the one person who constantly suffers throughout your entire life because you made one poor decision while intoxicated once, while this guy literally has billions, and is the richest person on earth. The news is covering him, and making fucking fake excuses for him.

"Roman salute"

You know, this is the libertarian argument for drugs and hookers for me. This stuff is already legal in the US, but only if you're rich enough. I just want it to be legal for everyone regardless of whether they're billionaires.

I hate Elon as much as any sane person, but who gives a fuck about "allegedly"? Wake me up when there's an actual story.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours ago

Because unless it's proven by a court, they have to write allegedly.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

This changes nothing, and really shouldn't surprise anyone bc most people just assumed he was, based on his constantly bizarre behavior, from doing a fucking Nazi salute on stage to the micro moments like when he looked like he was glitching/buffering during Trump's inauguration.

Given that the administration pretty successfully managed to gaslight the entire nation after two nazi salutes, that we all saw, I doubt we would even be seeing so many negative headlines about Musk right now if the narrative wasn't intentionally being shifted that way by people in the white house. He went from the untouchable dark force who was running the country, to the guy in the cheese hat that annoyed everyone and who gave himself bladder issues by doing too much ketamine.

Thiel got him to serve as the face of dismantling the federal government, and then pushed him aside once Kratsios was confirmed by the senate. Stealing government data to dump into AI was something they have had planned since Trump's first administration. They just needed a public scapegoat, and Musk was more than willing to take the bait.

That said, have people seriously forgotten that in every headline any accusation is always "alleged" even if it's something like rape or murder?

They've been slipping on that with Mangionw trial coverage at a definitely-more-than-coincidental rate. Stop giving massive institutions with crystal-clear motives the benefit of the doubt.

Hopefully he’ll OD in a pool or something!

[-] [email protected] 43 points 1 day ago

Give all of them legal access to any drugs they want in copious quantities. Encourage them to take more. Let problems solve themselves.

Hey, can't a guy dance around the room with a fucking chainsaw without people making allegations anymore?

And the sun rises in the east.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 21 hours ago

The following people would be surprised to hear that.

END OF LIST

[-] [email protected] 18 points 23 hours ago

No surprise there. It's good is being called out.
