I’ve heard that Musk lives in his own bizarre little bubble. And that has been pretty clear. But I didn’t realize how weird it was, or that it included an objectively lame ‘sense of humor’. These jokes just aren’t funny. Not because they are offensive (because they aren’t that offensive), but just because they are painfully lame. If it was most other people I world feel genuinely embarrassed on his behalf.
In places they don’t already own the news, their whole playbook has been to embrace, exaggerate, and extinguish. Making a mockery of it is the exaggerate part, and then a couple news cycles say more dumb shit to steal the limelight for the next news cycle.
By keeping the news flowing from one outrage to the next, communities can’t develop sufficient steam to hold them accountable, and each new outrage is only a little worse than the last.
They are more offensive, if one of the richest men in the world, being part of the government controlling the strongest army in the world does them, while openly supporting other fascists outside their country.
If it comes from power these “jokes” are meant to test the water for what to employ in real policies soon.
