      He honestly thinks women want his sperm and not just his money. What a narcissist he is.

        He’s got some weird things about fathering children. That story about him wanting to donate his sperm to Mars settlers was just too bizarre.

          Elon Musk is very likely a supporter of eugenics and since he’s also a narcissist who thinks he’s better than everyone else, it makes sense that he’s obsessed with spreading his genes.

          Just remember to conveniently ignore actually raising those kids, and those who happen to not fit his mold of what a person should be like (e.g. if they happen to be trans or see through a modicum of his bullshit)

      She definitely isn’t going to consent to being impregnated by Elon so the only conclusion is that he will rape her to get her pregnant. Whether he intended to threaten her with rape or not, he is threatening her with rape.

      Maybe he’s misunderstood. Maybe another one of his children doesn’t agree with him and he wants to get rid of it. He’ll take the cat in exchange. A somewhat understandable offer.

    It did finally click why Taylor used a pic of her and her cat tho…

    Like I knew the “childless cat lady” shit blew up in their face, but it never landed that Taylor is a childless cat lady, and for better or worse she’s someone a shit ton of women love.

      She also said the only reason she isn’t being politically neutral like she typically does is because Trump posted AI pictures of her claiming she supports right-wing policies. She’s now encouraging her massive fan base of young women to vote, a group that probably would have been apathetic beforehand. That’s another massive unforced error for the Trump campaign.

        Huh?

        She said she’s supporting Kamala and encouraged her fans to do their own research and decide who to vote for.

        It’s the same she said in 2020, and I believe 2016 too.

        She’s being just as politically active as she has been for like a decade, probably going back even further.

          Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter.

      You have to keep posting to Twitter because that’s where the people are.

      However, if you post to BOTH Twitter and Mastodon, you allow people to move. It wouldn’t take many people doing this to start the wave.

          I will lose some respect for her if she does continue to use it. She really does not need it and people will indeed follow her elsewhere en masse. I think she’s been sitting on her star power a bit too much and could really do some good with it.

        Taylor could make her own site and it’d rival twitter in short order. Society isn’t beholden to musk and the sooner people realize that, the sooner we can leave him in the dust.

          There’s no one-in-a-million magical future timeline where Elmo stops enshitifying Xitter and it rallies to remain relevant.

          It’s just a matter of how long inertia carries folks before Xitter joins the Sears catalog.

    I’m confused. Is he self aware?

    Does he know that this is cringe, and yet posts it deliberately to increase engagement? Like a Facebook algorithm that has escaped and gained sentience, is he a demon driven to maximize user’s time on app at all costs?

    Or is he the proverbial egotistical billionaire, surrounded by yes-men who have helped to lodge his head so far up his own ass that he actually believes tweets like this are cool and witty?

          Do you think she wants to be impregnated by him? Did she ask him? She has a boyfriend. She is clearly happy being childless.

          It’s a rape threat.

            Again, you’re making a huge logical leap that I can’t follow. The fact she’s probably not interested means it’s a rape threat?

              Yes. Telling someone you will impregnate them against their will is a rape threat, and I’m disturbed that you don’t understand why.

                He didn’t say he was going to impregnate her against her will, did he? I’m disturbed that you think this has anything to do with a rape threat. It suggests a severe lack of judgement.

                  Again- do you think she wants to be impregnated by him? What do you call it when you impregnate someone and they don’t want you to? I’m pretty sure there’s a four-letter word with that that starts with R and ends with APE.

    Looking at this for a while a few things come to mind:

    1. There’s a likely chance theyve met in person before (as billionaires)
    2. If he wanted to get any direct message to her it’d be a snap
    3. His ego is so big he can’t imagine that any woman wouldn’t be enthralled by him, surely any who act repulsed are simply acting.
    4. This post is not for her reaction at all, but for his fans to hype him up with reassuring tweets(?) of “he got her!”

    All I can imagine now is that in some past meeting he being as cringey as possible brought up them having a child would have had brains and her looks. She laughs awkwardly and leaves as quickly as possible.

      If such an offspring were possible, (rape? Egg theft?)

      I would hope it got HER brains as well as looks. And her work ethic. Rerecording her entire oeuvre to wrench her copyrights back, for instance.

      Even the fact she says she’s made her decision, given her reasons, and left her fans’ choice up to them shows more intelligence, and respect for their intelligence, than E-boy or T-toddler has ever displayed.
