We're letting an idiot manchild run multiple major corporations. It's astounding.
- Welp, we let an idiot manchild run a whole country with the strongest military on earth under his command, and a nuclear arsenal button under his fucking finger. 😂
  
  The two people who downvoted have dementia (their butts have also been wiped)
  
  Not to take away from this, but it's a myth that the US president can start a nuclear war by pressing a button, it's a lot more complicated than this.
- It seems that idiot manchildren run basically every company
- What’s wrong with him liking that tweet? Age is just how long we’ve been alive for, we’re all mentally still in our 20’s
  
  Nothing's wrong with him liking it. Hiding the fact that he liked it after he got discovered is what makes him a child.
  
  we’re all mentally still in our 20’s
  No we're not? There is a word we use for people like that, a man child who refuses to grow as a person.
  
  I don't think anyone is objecting the like, people are objecting the fact that he made a new feature to hide likes on Twitter after this was found out. Looks like HE has an issue with him liking that stuff, not us.

It's not like we didn't already know...

Every day a new thing about elon musk happens and I am even more surprised by his stupidity
- I reworked an old phrase because of him.
  "You either die a hero or live long enough for everyone to work out you're a fucking idiot."
- Just waiting for him to run for president, honestly.
  
  Not born in the US, so he's ineligible. Of course he's also super rich so...
  
  honestly, I bet he'd do really well in the running. I'm sure he'd be worse than trump if such a thing were possible

Funny how fast this man has become a parody of himself. I still remember the video of him and jack ma

Do you remember when Elon first blew up, he was hailed almost as the second coming of Christ... the fall from grace is staggering
- I don't, he was called an idiot from the start with the same message you just put up.
  
  Nah maybe a small minority but everyone was fucking talking him up and how he was going to change the car and space industries

"This man is 51 years old" absolutely slays an insecure man-child like Musk.

Anime is mainstream now, so zoomers think it's "new". Thing is, the otaku culture predates the internet. I watched anime since the early 1980s. "Old people" can and do watch anime and read manga. It's not your zoomer sekrit club.
- It's not so much that it's anime as it is Elon liking a comment about someone wanting to fuck heavily sexualized teens that look a very specific way...that happens to be in an anime.

I'm all fairness, Lemmy and Reddit both hide upvotes.
- Yeah but only one of these services directs their engineering team to make such changes because the boss is getting dragged for liking weird shit.
- Lemmy doesn't really hide it as they're visible to instance owners and shared through federation. Kbin also shows them so I can see the username/instance of the 7 people who upvoted your comment.
  
  It's kinda lame that kbin users get to see Lemmy upvotes too. Most Lemmings don't even know you guys are spying on us like that 🫣
  I think I'd rather have Lemmy make voter identity visible as well, but at least if we can't see it then neither should you. That's just rude.
- There is a way to see up votes on Lemmy if you're an instance admin, which isn't a super high hurdle. But point taken. Still a bit funny to see how directly his usage informs the mechanics of Twitter.

only when it affects him
sounds similar

I don't know how to read these fucking threads and retweets etc. Makes my eyes go separate, and makes me feel retarded.

Imagine having all the money you could want and still being so self conscious of what other people think of you. Just sleep on your pillow of money man lol

Why can't 51 years old like anime
- Begins with a P and ends with the time period of 1603–1867 in Japan.
  
  Peudal?
  
  Are we still doing this in 2023? With anime movies selling 41 million tickets?
- It's not that he can't like anime, it's that this tweets sexualises a girl who looks like a teenager.
  
  The worst part is that he crosses the line between fantasy and reality by urging contact IRL.
  
  If I post some images of Gollum and say "if you look like this DM me ASAP", am I sexualising Gollum?
  
  Oh noooo. You cannot like the style or looks of a 19 year old anime character if you're old. That's illegal.
  Look. I've hated musk before it was cool but that's a stupid take.

I wish I had that much money
- I wish no one had that much money.
  
  Nobody does. It's assets - not cash

I have an unpopular opinion, which is... men who's into animé girls are closeted pedophiles
- Fuck I'm busted. You're never gonna catch me alive!
