Yesterday evening, Taylor Swift shared her endorsement for Kamala Harris in the US presidential campaign.

Phony Stark needs to be called out on this. It’s creepy as hell.

😳 🤮

      One of the richest men in the world publicly threatening to rape one of the biggest music stars in the world sounds kind of like news to me.

          Yup. Public threat of rape. You see, sex is how babies are made. Elon said he will give Taylor Swift a baby, which means have sex with her. It’s pretty obvious that swift would not like to be impregnated by elon musk. When an adult doesn’t consent to a sexual act, it’s called rape. To tell someone who does not want to fuck you that you “will” give them a baby is a threat of rape. Do you have anymore questions marks?

          He’s doing so without doing so.

          He knows what he’s saying, and most people know what he’s saying, but he’s not “legally” saying it.

          It’s the equivalent of adding “…in Minecraft” to his threat, except it’s legally stronger given the context.

      Reasons people may give a shit:

      • The US government is shoveling huge amounts of money towards an individual that dismisses and devalues half of the world’s population with an active sexual harassment suit against him.

      • Consumers might want to know if they are supporting if they are supporting a mysogynist by using his privately owned social media service or buying energy products / vehicles from a company he heads up as CEO.

      • Trump has announced an intention to have this man lead a new “Government Efficiency Commission” and this behavior reflects both on Trump for the sort of people he elevates into positions of power and reflects on Musk as a potential public servant.

        He’s also the owner of the company which builds and operates the only current domestic launch vehicle certified to carry humans to the space station.

        The only other certified launch vehicle in the world is built and operated by Roscosmos - owned and operated by a dictator who’s currently trying to annex another nation in the first war in Europe in decades

      It’s good to document weird and creepy behaviour.
      If things like this don’t make the news cycle, they essentially go un-called-out. Which might make it seem like normal or acceptable behaviour.

      Weird behaviour doesn’t live up to scrutiny

        Let the other losers on Twitter call it out if they want their cringy drama-fest.

        This is not news. Making a random weird comment that is obviously in jest (and is very, VERY obviously not a REAL threat to do anything, as anyone with two brain cells to rub together can figure out) is absolutely NOT worthy of “the news cycle”.

        Only people who truly have no life have the desire to spend any time giving a shit about this. This is barely worthy of an eye roll.

        Yes. He’s abusing his position to harass women. It has to be called out, documented and shown to be problematic behaviour.

      I feel like a lot of areas of public discussion were more-dignified before the social media era.

      Every major event just winds up with noise from Twitter drama getting attached to it.

    How is this okay with anyone? Why aren’t people around him (employees, etc) not swarming him and basically hanging him out to dry?

    I have practically zero useful social media influence, nobody would ever see it, but somehow if I posted something like this somehow I feel like I’d get a ton of attention AND be cancelled and or arrested.

    He probably meant he was going to give her one of the many children he already has and doesn’t care about.
