What an own goal looks like in 2026:

@andreaslindholm yes, but check out the video, it is very obvious... https://xcancel.com/American_P69/status/2081720479111622827 @randahl

[kleisli@mastodon.social]

@luk_ in most countries there is also about 1/3 that votes for right wing parties... ‍️ @randahl

[fgbjr@indieweb.social]

@randahl
Elon Musk is God's gift to humanity.

[…]

Okay, who's responsible for pissing the old guy off this badly?

[andreaslindholm@mastodonsweden.se]

@kleisli @randahl Oh, I don't doubt that for a moment. The image looks horribly fake.

What I meant was that Musk hadn't been owned by Grok on this particular occasion.

[connynasch@mastodon.social]

@randahl then there is this

[marjolica@social.linux.pizza]

@randahl and where are his other 11 kids (including Vivian)?

[mjc0961@mastodon.social]

@andreaslindholm Yes, community notes are added and voted on by human users, not by AI. That feature existed even before Elon bought the platform.

I'm surprised he hasn't had it removed yet considering how many times it has owned him.

@randahl 2nd pic: what exactly is a patiot? Is that French for moron?

[dgoell31@mastodon.social]

@randahl Thanks for sharing this. It's always refreshing to read ideas that focus on solving real business problems instead of chasing trends.

[cstross@wandering.shop]

@randahl Worth noting that Musk's only female child is Vivian Jenna Wilson, who is trans—he inflicted sex-selective pregnancies on his harem, only boy babies allowed. (Hence Musk's descent into raving transphobia.)

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@kleisli @luk_ @randahl

yup

that's the usa (and as you note many other countries)

1/3 pridefully bigoted, willfully ignorant zombies who are literally programmed by right wing media

1/3 positively engaged and well meaning

1/3 nonvoting, disengaged, and feeling entitled to not care. for many reasons, but the big ones are cynicism, perfectionism, and learned helplessness

the first cohort, the mindless zombie horde, are utterly beyond redemption

the nonvoters: we need to kick them in the ass

[thorium@social.linux.pizza]

@kleisli @andreaslindholm @randahl What a hilarious flub on that "video". He's both an evil and comedic "genius"

[marjolica@social.linux.pizza]

@cstross @randahl interesting then that one of his(?) children shown the video seems to be female (or crossdressing!): the one with the teddy bear.

[cstross@wandering.shop]

@marjolica @randahl That's the obvious at-a-glance tell that the video is an AI fake. (Wilson only transitioned after she cut off all contact with her sperm donor.)

[henryk@chaos.social]

@randahl I'm sure the 100% America First American Patriot is a real patriot and a real human being, what with the "AMERICAN PATIOT"[sic] header image and all.

[drbenway@troet.cafe]

@randahl He looks like Commander Data from "Enterpris"e... only not as human.
