I’ve got to get Elon Musk out of my head. I’m giving him way too much airtime, which would give the billionaire a kick if he were even aware of a small little blogger like me.
But just one more time.
Remember when Pierre Poilievre asked to Musk to label the CBC as “government-funded media” on Twitter? And do you also remember how Musk willingly did that very thing? The result was CBC suspending its official Twitter account and a number of satellite accounts while they assess the situation.
Then Musk comes back with something different. Instead of “government-funded media,” the new advisory is “69% government-funded media.”
I wonder how Elon arrived at the number 69? Just some random number that he snatched out of the sky? I have some strong doubts about that, given that Musk is an adolescent who responds to media requests with a poop emoji.
The poor number 69, forever associated with a sex position, and this is what he trots out as a response. Like, what is he, twelve?
A funny, funny man, that Elon.
And his massive SpaceX rocket that blew up this past week after launch? That was pretty funny too. The way he’s running Twitter into the ground after massively over-paying for it in the first place? What a gas. Those names he gave his kids? Hilarious.
A funny little man with a huge ego who, like other little men who get a measure of power, use it to bully people or groups of people.
I’ll bet Elon was a target in school, the kind of kid that other kids would stuff in a locker, knock books out of his hands, or jam his face in a toilet bowl. If that’s true, I have one question for the people who made Elon’s life hell at school:
Why in the hell did you ever stop?
