“Just joking!” What, do YOU guys all have no sense of Elon Musk’s humor? He’s just asking why the violence isn’t being equally spread around, and Elon thought it was funny! But, all is fine because Elon learned a lesson today about not making jokes about political violence on the massive media platform…that he owns. Dude is 53. Learning important lessons about the nuance of political violence jokes. He’s a deranged fuck, and that’s no joke.
The incessant parade of men saying and/or doing terrible shit, then saying they're "joking" when anyone points out it is indeed terrible shit, indicates many men do not get the concept of humor.
Elno’s lesson was not that even though he THINKS he’s funny others may not appreciate it, but rather that even though he IS funny other people have no sense of humor.
[HuffPo]: Secret Service Is Aware Of Elon Musk’s ‘Jokes’ About More Assassination Attempts
The U.S. Secret Service is aware of Elon Musk’s since-deleted post on social media noting “no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala,” it told Reuters.
"The Secret Service is aware of the social media post made by Elon Musk and as a matter of practice, we do not comment on matters involving protective intelligence," a Secret Service spokesperson told Reuters. "We can say, however, that the Secret Service investigates all threats related to our protectees."
The spokesperson wouldn’t say if the law enforcement agency had reached out to Musk, who bought Twitter in 2022 and renamed it X the following year.
After deleting the post, Musk repeatedly insisted he was joking and meant no harm, saying: “Turns out that jokes are WAY less funny if people don’t know the context and the delivery is plain text” and that “just because I say something to a group and they laugh doesn’t mean it’s going to be all that hilarious as a post on X.”
“Just because I say something to a group of employees whose financial future literally depends on them ensuring I think they think I am god’s gift to comedy and thus they laugh…”
Guess everyone didn't get the joke..That is because jokes are actually funny.
Lemme hep you a bit Leon:
You cannot joke about a bomb on a plane EVER!
You cannot make fun of people and then say, "Just kidding!"
You cannot harass women and then ask why we cannot take a "joke"
You cannot suggest that people commit murder having such a large platform nor scream fire in a crowded theatre and then claim that "it was supposed to be funny".
And finally, IF you have to instruct folks on what makes it a joke, you have failed comedy 101 already.
I once blurted out, “these seats are the bomb!” on an airplane to my wife when we were seated in the row directly behind the bathroom wall, with extra leg room. The flight attendant gave me one of those teacher warning looks, and I corrected myself. “These seats are of the highest quality with ample leg room.” I was forgiven, because I’m clearly an idiot.
I haven't really paid too much attention, but there used to be signs at airport security about how, if you said anything about bombs or weapons, *even as a joke*, you WILL be pulled out of line and detained.
I took my sister’s backpack for a moment and held it for her when we were flying to Corpus Christi in Feb 2002. Just 4 months post 9/11, I was asked by a gentleman in military gear with a large gun to face the wall, hands on the wall, and spread em. It was a memorable moment. I was let go, and reminded to please not do that, because once again I’m an idiot.
No one is trying to assassinate Trump, either, Lonnie. It's a bullshit ploy, because his ratings slipped, and/or he stopped being the center of attention for three seconds.
"But at least Elon learned a valuable lesson that just because he thinks it’s funny, not everyone else can appreciate it. "
He will never learn it.
I would just like the FBI and DOJ to learn it and take the treasonous immigrant who's here illegally since his visa has expired OUT OF THE GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS HE HAS WITH THE PENTAGON SINCE HE IS A CLEAR & PRESENT DANGER TO U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY.
I know people who've gotten visits from the FBI and Secret Service for a hell of a lot less than his lil jokey joke.
Gary has already mocked the concept of an extremely online billionaire who bought a major social media company just so he could have his very own massively public platform only JUST NOW realizing that ironic humor is sometimes taken literally on the internet, so I'll skip that part.
Instead, I'll repost this, from Saturday. The Guardian did a deep dive into Musk's prolific Twitter output over just one 24 hour period. No matter how bad you think he is, guess what? He's worse. Much worse.
Put it together like that and it sure does look a whole lot like straight-up, full time fascist propaganda. Maybe even Nazi. And I say that in the literal, dictionary definition sense.
This motherfucker is not some weird, stupid and insecure Incel. He's an Afrikaaner Joseph Goebbels.
"But at least Elon learned a valuable lesson that just because he thinks it’s funny, not everyone else can appreciate it. "
I would really like it if someone from our federal enforcement decisions reads what you've put here (of course they read Yr Wonkette) and takes it as seriously as it merits.

While I have no problem with slandering Musk’s national background for rhetorical purposes, he is factually a naturalized U.S. citizen. And rhetoric aside, he is no more treasonous than so many other native-born Americans, including especially orange ones. Although, since his agenda seems to be to turn Earth into a social and physical shithole in order to create a personal Xanadu on Mars, it's arguable that Musk’s treason is to the entire human race. So there's that.
Unfortunately, the geniuses running NASA pretty much sole-sourced America’s access to space to that motherfucker. So unless we just nationalize SpaceX, cancelling contracts is impossible.
FELON MuskRAT is worse by the day. This sick fuck needs to be disenfranchised.

Ta, Gary. Joke? From someone who has no sense of humor?

Beat him about the head and ears with votes, then kick him in the balls with votes, and finish by hitting him with a chair with votes.
Cheers, thanks,
called it - the toddler defence 'i was joking'
I do not understand why Republicans continue to tell jokes when it's obvious Democrats have absolutely no sense of humor.
Every time they tell a joke, they have to tell us it's a joke, because we're incapable of recognizing that on our own.
After they tell us it's a joke, we still can't see the humor because we have absolutely no sense of humor ourselves.
You'd think by now they would have just figured out they shouldn't try telling jokes to us.
They're just too used to having a laugh track to alert the audience "joke is coming".

That's not even freshman-level. That's remedial level, so comedy 091. Passing doesn't even get you credit, it just means you're ready to earn credit.
Why is this so hard for some people?
their sense of self outweighs reality

They were still there the last time I flew a couple years ago. “No weapons, no jokes.” Flying is serious business.
they have them down undah, and the sign ends with 'no, we do NOT have a sense of humour'
Musk: "No one is trying to assassinate Biden."
No one is trying to assassinate Trump, either, Lonnie. It's a bullshit ploy, because his ratings slipped, and/or he stopped being the center of attention for three seconds.
So, I guess now they'll arrest Lonnie.
Or deport him.
Or stop shoveling huge government subsidies to his companies.
Or tax him at the same rate at the rest of us.
`
Ha ha, I'm such a kidder.
Just joking, right!
Predicate? Did Stephen Miller just learn a new, big word and try to show it off?
Nazi fail.
"Precedent, Stephen, not predicate, you Baby Goebbels vampire looking mfer."
"But at least Elon learned a valuable lesson that just because he thinks it’s funny, not everyone else can appreciate it. "
He will never learn it.

Hey, nationalizing a company due to the "defense of the national interest" has happened before and it can happen again.
I for one support Comrade Kamala in her defense of the nation!
My only problem is what do we nationalize first?
He's a naturalized citizen (and yearning to install the apartheid he watched collapse in S Africa here in the States, and he has help).
But perhaps ask around and see how many times he's overstayed his visa(s) …
