“Twitter owner calls Facebook founder a ‘cuck’ as rancour grows over launch of Threads, a competitor to Musk’s network”
Man I thought this was The Onion at first
It takes true talent to make Zuckerberg look like a saint.
Calling the cave diver a pedo wasn’t cringe enough, he seems to be trying hard to legit impress his high school mates.
Even as a bloke, this is embarrassing, and I hope woman don’t use Musk as an example which represents the rest of us. We want him to shut up too
If I wasn’t so busy laughing at him, I’d be embarrassed on his behalf.
Is Musk acting more and more juvenile because he can’t deal with the fact that he’s in his early fifties now?
I’m not saying that he has late stage syphilitic dementia. But if he doesn’t then I’m somehow even more confused about his recent actions.
He called Zuck a cuck?
Funny thing is that Threads is the new player who is currently dominating the microblogging market while Twitter is just watching. Technically speaking, Twitter is the one being “cucked” here.
At least he didn’t call him something truly reprehensible like cis-gendered. 🙄
Zucc gives an impression of an android-reptilian hybrid, but he handles PR a lot better. And this is because he doesn’t spout every thought that runs in his head on social media without filter.
Every time the “reptile” line gets trotted out, I can’t help but feel it’s insulting neurodivergent people that don’t exactly share neurotypical body language or traits or mannerisms, but it gets a pass because it’s Zuckerberg, a person people really don’t like.
I also really don’t like ad hominem stuff. By all means, hate Zuckerberg for the actual stuff he’s done wrong. But his looks and mannerisms aren’t why he’s a bad person and I feel bad for innocent people who share a physical resemblance or some mannerisms and constantly see his get dunked on. “Am I also unacceptable? Are they just bringing up anything they can to be hurtful, or does this have an actual basis in reality and they legit have a problem with his looks and mannerisms? What does that say about how people think about me, about how I’ll be treated? Am I commonly perceived as a robot who’s faking their way through humanity too?”
The reptilian conspiracy theory can be considered at least antisemitism-adjacent, which makes its popularity with respect to Zuckerberg… interesting.
As someone of Jewish heritage, I agree there was anti-Semitism attached to the idea in the past, it’s passed into public discourse as a joke without that malice attached, especially as people were laughing at nutters like David Ike, that I don’t see the harm in it at this point.
As a fellow Jew, I agree, but it’s worth noting. I wouldn’t ever call someone an antisemite for referring to someone as a lizard-person, because at this point no one intends it that way. I have a friend who’s pretty receptive to social justice issues and mentioned it to her recently just as an interesting point of conversation.
I don’t like a billionaire like the rest of us poor people. But I’ve met quite a few working in a tech and being in leadership. I’m ADHD/spectrum, Zuck reminds me of me. I feel like a reptile when I’m forced to talk about shot I don’t want to, but talk about what I want like “smoking meats” I’ll talk your fucking ear off.
Trump isn’t a reptile nor is Clinton just rich assholes. I’ve also met non assholes that are rich. Zuck and Bezos were the non assholes.
Same bro, same.
Jokes aside, Zucc’s non-verbal side reminds me of people on the autistic spectrum. This also gives people the creepy vibe, even though it isn’t intentional. My favorite YouTube channel Charisma on Command made a good video about the subject.
Lol techies were never met to be in the spotlight… here I am doing talking engagements and being awkward as fuck. Thanks for the share!
I am autistic. I want to make friends with other people and not alienate them. So I watched that video and there’s a part I’m having trouble with.
The part about his smile going away pretty fast, which causes people to subconsciously assume it’s faked, has a comparison video to someone else. That person doesn’t stop smiling at all! So how am I supposed to figure out how long I need to drag out the transition between going from happy to neutral in order to not seem like I’m faking stuff?
Elon is just doing whatever possible to get attention and keep publicity circling him and his shitpile website. He has no dignity left to sell, and is now hyping his genitals in the public square to try to help his business. I have serious doubts that Zuckerberg’s wife has cuckolded him given what I know about them, but the behavior described above is objective proof that Elon is a whore.
Yet both are mega rich, can we assume theres no correlation between the decorum of their posts and their success?
it’s not an assumption at this point. They are just a pair of losers who got lucky. They are the best argument imaginable for restoration of a 90% tax rate and inheritance taxes.
Do you want a stagnant society?
Right, because the US immediately post-WW2 was an incredibly stagnant society with no visible benefits to the middle class.
What the fuck are you on about
Not American but the US had an extremely high tax rate on the rich for most of its prosperous years. It was only recent removed and you now have massive wealth inequality
Not to mention fantastic spending on college/university (GI Bill) to both slow the impact of returning military on the job market and to create a highly educated work force. Also, incredible help for people to become homeowners, creating generational wealth (GI Bill again), unless you were black.
People act like high taxes on the wealthy would be a problem, when in reality what happened is the wealthy poured more of the excess wealth into their businesses, which benefitted everyone. It’s so annoying that we freaking know what works and what doesn’t (trickle-down), yet still argue about their efficacy.
We also had a far less globalised market at the time where it wasn’t as easy to move your money or citizenship to a country with friendler taxes.
Maybe do some reading on the history of taxation in the US. I’m surprised you’re unfamiliar with what they’re referring to when you hold such strong opinions on the matter.
Reading that article was a highlight of my day. I dislike FB/Meta but at least Zuckerberg can string a sentence together than doesn’t make him sound 13 and going thru a phase.
Thats the crazy thing. I don’t think the way facebook operates is great. But, I can’t recall Zuckerberg doing anything weird/bad in public (a lot of crap he gets, seems unwarranted, and you could easily go out and get a beer with him).
Whereas with Musk. He actually seems like the kind of guy whose friends have to make excuses for him, and are likely sick of him acting like a right-wing-extremist boomer
Right, most of the complaints people have about Zuckerberg is that he’s a stereotypical tech bro ceo lacking a moral compass.
People calling Zuckerberg a lizard person or robot mostly come from how he talked and acted when under intense public questioning by legislators regarding user privacy and their business model. That’s a high pressure situation where he was coached on what he could and could not say by legal to minimize the fallout, so his awkward expressions and stilted speech are understandable.
People don’t like him because he’s a ruthless ceo, and that requires some level of sociopathy pull off. Musk, on the other hand, actively antagonizes people and seems to thrive on controversy. His primary goal seems to be ego-driven, unlike Zuckerberg who’s solely in it for the money.
The only sort-of controversy I can think of is when he called his users idiots for giving him their data, what, 15-20 years ago when he was in college? That wasn’t even a public statement. Musk is loudly calling anybody who opposes him on anything a cuck, pedo, asshole…
Musk is actually kind of impressive at this point. It takes some real talent and determination to make Zuckerberg look like the good guy in comparison. There are not many people in the world who can even manage to pull that off once or twice, and Musk is doing it over and over again.
Yo, Elon. Firstly, don’t kink shame. Cuckoldry has become much more accepted as both a practice of sexuality and genre of adult entertainment over the last few years.
Secondly, this isn’t 2015. The only people who use that word unironically are terminally online trolls. Oh, wait…
I hope both of these shitstains perish😇🙏🏻
A succinct lesson proving that having a lot of money doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re smart.
Or happy. The guy could be travelling the world, spending every waking moment doing something fun and interesting and here he is ranting like a basement-dwelling loser.
Let’s not forget that this is what Elon looked like in 2000. As a billionaire I’m sure he can afford the best hair plugs money can buy, but underneath it all he is a basement-dwelling loser. I used to think he was at least intelligent, now I’m not so sure.
Honestly, he looks a lot happier in that old picture than he does in anything I’ve seen lately.
I really don’t expect any better behaviour from this person.
So when’s the cage match?
It will never happen, for so many reasons.
Reason 1: Elon’s mom said no …
You should probably add a link. I already know this happend but it still reads like a joke.
Truly the weirdest timeline.
