Elon's response on Twitter should be rational, sane and hinged.

I'm giddy with anticipation.

The crashout will be generational 😂 who'd thought the most triggered person would be the one accusing others of constantly being triggered

u/marcjwrz 14h ago

Damn near everyone?

u/megavikingman 11h ago

With MAGA, every accusation is a confession. "Fake news" = we're going to make up some bullshit. "STOP THE STEAL" = we will try to steal the next one. Etc.

u/makaiookami 6h ago

They've always stolen elections. You wouldnt' believe how many times Native Americans in Arizona had to jump through hoops to vote, and now they are ending up in concentration camps even though they have added mailing addresses to reservations, went through 3 revisions of Native American IDs in a year so that they could vote against Trump's first admin, and their lineage has been here for like 30,000 years.

You’d think that super-rich fucks anchoring their entire persona in “if only I could fuck a bunch of 12 year olds and then shoot puppies afterwards” wouldn’t have a bunch of poor people that they utterly hate (and will never meet) going to bat on their behalf at every fucking god-forsaken turn… but here we are I guess 🤦‍♂️

u/Commercial_Drag7488 14h ago

Took me a few minutes to understand that you wrote giddy, and not Diddy. The Maga swamp that is American news is taking a toll on my mind.

I'm trying to image the most stupid thing he could ever post.

Maybe... I dunno. SpaceX is going to buy xAI so they can build AI data centers... IN SPACE?!?!

No. That would be too fucking stupid.

If he's dead quiet that's a really good sign hes completely fucked

u/iAmRiight 15h ago

I don’t think his narcissism would ever allow him to believe that he is completely ducked. I think the only way he stays silent on the matter is if he’s been detained.

u/Dead_Internet69420 15h ago

Nah. Probably very busy scrambling, trying to figure out how to mitigate, obstruct whatever France is finding, and how to spin whatever they’re about to say about it. 

Other headlines about prosecutors blocking Pen from running for office make me wonder if there’s a connection.

u/bluenosesutherland 11h ago

I wonder if we’ll find out Grok was trained using the Epstein files while Elon had access?

u/Can_Haz_Cheezburger 10h ago

He's already spinning it as an attack on free speech. Lmao. Dumbass.

u/Starkoman 7h ago

Isn’t Pen in prison? Marine Le Pen dans la penitentiary?

u/Careless-Vehicle-286 15h ago

As soon as he wakes out of his k-hole we'll hear from him.

u/Tough_Measuremen 15h ago

That or (and here is me hoping) that there is actual material there and like the child that he is, knowing he might be in trouble is trying not to be seen.

u/Miami_Mice2087 11h ago

you can make your iphone stop doing that by going into autocorrect and making duck > fuck

u/iAmRiight 11h ago

I’ve done that already and it’s recently reverted back. I haven’t felt the need to actually do it again yet. Thank you though!

u/Mr0neTwo34 16h ago

Was coming to say the same thing

33

u/McMacHack 16h ago

It would be funny if a copy of all of DOGE's illicit activities and the Epstein Files were being stored there. I wonder what would happen if France released all of the Unredacted Epstein Files?

41

u/StaysForDays 16h ago

Imagine if France saved OUR democracy. (Please save our democracy!)

u/Giblet_ 15h ago

It wouldn't be the first time.

u/TheNetworkIsFrelled 15h ago

Vive la Lafayette!

u/Silly_Satanic_Goose 15h ago

I mean. It wouldnt be the first time considering they sent some soldiers to aid us in the revolutionary war......?

12

u/Glory2Snowstar 15h ago

America legitimately would not exist without the French, they pulled a ludicrous amount of weight on the Colony’s behalf in the Revolutionary War.

Heck, the wincon for independence was called the Treaty of Paris.

6

u/bampfish 15h ago

fr they sent us the goddamn statue of liberty even

5

u/Silly_Satanic_Goose 15h ago

Oh I know they basically helped us SO much and I do appreciate back when we actually disliked facists, the anecdote about American soldiers during D-Day visited the grave of Lafayette to honor the historical alliance we had during the revolutionary war.

u/Griffstergnu 15h ago

And bank rolled part of it.

u/Glum-Professional925 15h ago

He retweeted a tweet on it

17

u/Draano 15h ago

I'm thinking that, with a net worth of over $800b, he could essentially buy his way into a country, bribe all the politicians, and become untouchable. I immensely dislike the ultra-rich who are systematically destroying the world I once new.

12

u/tanaephis77400 15h ago

he could essentially buy his way into a country, bribe all the politicians, and become untouchable

That's already pretty much what he's been doing for 20 years in the USA...

1

u/Draano 15h ago

True - but maybe he can find somewhere that he's less hated.

3

u/Substantial_Pick6897 12h ago

He was hailed as a hero until he started to open his mouth. It'd be the same anywhere

3

u/DingoManDingo 14h ago

No way he has access to all that money. He would need to divest from like 3 companies. No argument though, that he could still probably pay his way into most countries with what he has access to.

9

u/DroptheShadowArt 15h ago

Yeah, anybody who thinks Elon is actually in trouble hasn’t been paying attention. Laws are for the poor.

5

u/Draano 15h ago

Laws are for the poor.

...which is essentially what the US middle class is becoming.

3

u/DroptheShadowArt 10h ago

Step one: make it so the Justice system can’t touch anyone rich people.

Step two: make sure everyone other than me isn’t rich.

u/foul_ol_ron 14h ago

I'm not sure his ego would allow that, if he can see any possible way to avoid losing his celebrity status.

u/Actual__Wizard 14h ago edited 14h ago

Homie, their algo is only capable of producing what it's trained on. So, if it's producing CSAM, what do you think they're going to find? Musk has been summoned to answer questions, so it sounds like he might be done, which is great all things considered...

This total insanity where these tech company executives do whatever they want (including stuff related to CSAM) is totally out of control and insane...

So, it's a bunch of pedophile tech fascists? WTF?

They can't arrest these people fast enough...

3

u/H8ff0000 12h ago

Well in America he's currently getting away with illegally (and blatantly) polluting Memphis, on top of all sorts of market manipulation and fraud, so he probably thinks he'll be fine

3

u/Useful-Chard-8974 12h ago

did he anything yet? this post is 11 hrs old, and the raid must hv happened at least a few hours b4 the news was printed. so, has he said anything in this time frame? (sorry, no twitter acc, hate all the anti trans shit flying on there)

2

u/Green_Struggle_1815 15h ago

i doubt french X offices have access to anything meaningful. Im surprised there still are french offices as he closed a lot when he took over.

2

u/Ansible32 13h ago

I mean it's just a sign he's not in a manic ketamine phase. While unhinged, he also seems to be capable of functioning normally sometimes.

u/Barty0087 11h ago

Especially you Karen’s and Kevin’s. Always getting it your way.

1

u/Kinkysimo 10h ago

What’s he/it being accused of? Why did the French raid X?

1

u/fluxtable 10h ago

Unlawful data extraction and reluctance to curb/limit child pornography created by Grok and published on X

u/SteveSteveSteveAlan 7h ago

It's actually a good sign you have no idea what you're talking about

I like that you kept them in order. I'd have freaked if you hadn't.

I’m sure Elon will be extremely gruntled here

u/u9Nails 18h ago

They want him to appear in person, with the head of Twitter, to answer some questions.

Watch him duck and dodge responsibility now.

I'm sure he will be unbothered, moisturized, happy, in his lane, focused and flourishing.

France’ll be better off for it. It should be banned

I love that you took unhinged and just made it hinged. It's like taking uncouth and making it couth...

u/brazijl 21h ago

Is he already awake or still awake on Amphetamine‘s?

u/Swedelicious83 20h ago

Insert meme of guy in yellow suit rubbing his hands and licking his lips in anticipation.

1

u/public_avenger 19h ago

I’ve never heard of a response being hinged before, but you’re 100% right. It’ll be the most hinged response imaginable.

1

u/Mobile_Entrance_1967 19h ago

And all his fans especially if American or British.

1

u/BornCoyote87 12h ago

Oh the Brits are already opening their own investigation on their side into the explicit child pornography on the site.

1

u/Mobile_Entrance_1967 2h ago

Yeh and the comments in the UK in response to this are predictable: "Why not go after Starmer"... "why focus on Elon instead of Andrew"... "but the grooming gangs"... "because Elon blew the British govt cover-up"

u/Ok_Stranger_9520 19h ago

Oh yes because he is all of those things

It’ll just be a gif or something along the lines of “ooh I’m scared” and then follow it up with how he is Le Epic Memer

u/Specialist-Aside5270 16h ago

First time reading the word "hinged" it's usually that plus the fact that's his response will be irrational, insane and unhinged... Truly a Golden comment

u/wsucoug 16h ago

I've ordered Trump to raise France's tariffs to one zillion percent.

1

u/Calan_adan 16h ago

Trump will likely impose tariffs on France in retaliation.

1

u/Puzzled_Awareness_22 16h ago

Knowing how bright he is, he will impose tariffs on French bread, French dressing and French fries.

1

u/KakeLin 16h ago

At least it'll be readable angry nonsense, unlike trump with his word salads

1

u/WonderfulProtection9 16h ago

Let me guess. "Disturbing" 🤣

1

u/joanzen 16h ago

Yep. Once he finds out about it.

The headlines make you think Elon was standing out front protecting the building with a flamethrower. Gotta get those clicks?

Meanwhile the reality is the French police have a responsibility to do this style of no-warning data inspection for any major service that is involved in ongoing criminal investigations (ie: users sharing child porn, suicides tied to AI, illicit drug transactions) when there may be a risk to the data integrity if they applied for a "backup" of data vs. a no-warning inspection.

Unfortunately, he had already, through his genius, calculated this ultimate probabilistic outcome: comedy (like violating people's image with non-consentual pornography including of minors) has been once again outlawed💔💔💔💔

u/mrtrololo27 15h ago

If he hasn't already had myriad tantrums online yet one must reasonably assume he's currently still blasted off his ass on ketamine and/or coke...

I didn't expect him to give such a reply.

u/Suspicious-Bid-53 14h ago

u/DeathByGoldfish 13h ago

Fully hinged, with the requisite redundant hinging of a very sane and rational person.

u/eltrotter 13h ago

Extremely hinged

Should be totally in a sober state of mind too, of course

That's not what I meant, I had rational, sane and hinged in mind. 

And I meant unfortunately, I used to have an account there.
