    Hey hey hey. Elon. 1-2-3-eyes on me. Ok? Listen little man. You have to put away all the toys you already got out before you start getting any more toys out. You made a big mess out there in low Earth orbit already, you need to help clean it up before you start any more games. Got-it got-it?

    Yes, I know you don’t want to, but sometimes we have to do things we don’t want to. Yes, even if you took all of the play money for yourself.

    Yes, I know your daddy owned an emerald mine. That doesn’t mean you don’t have a responsibility to help keep this whole place usable.

    Also, while you’re doing your cleanup, there’s still a hole you dug in Las Vegas that you forgot about, and you also need to apologize to the rest of the class for breaking the government services they all enjoyed, and help everyone put them back together.

    I know it’s not going to be easy to fix them. That’s why we don’t break things, right? That’s right. Especially when…? When we don’t know what they’re for, right. But you can do hard things, especially if you have help.

    I know you fed it into a wood chipper, Elon. We all watched you do it. No, I don’t think it’s funny or epic.

    Ok. Well if you aren’t going to help clean up, I think we might need to have a consequence, ok? …no, the consequence can not be going to Mars.

      I appreciate the sentiment, and that was very eloquent, but this fucking criminal shouldn’t be treated like an errant child. He’s an adult and should face the full force of justice as a cognisant adult that has repeatedly and unrepentantly committed heinous crimes. Fuck him.

        Yes. Joking aside, he absolutely should be punished. But fascism wilts in the face of ridicule; the one thing they cannot abide is people not taking them seriously. The only time the Harris campaign ever made any headway was when Walz was calling the GOP “weird,” and the repeated attacks & threats against late night show hosts prove that they just can’t handle it.

        In this case, I got the idea (and even some of the language) from a video content creator who goes by “mrs.frazzled.” Her stuff points out how profoundly unserious these people are, even though their actions have serious consequences and they desperately need to feel important.

        I know I’m not exactly writing Uncle Tom’s Cabin here, and I wouldn’t claim that this is some meaningful resistance. Just wanted to explain.

          Fair point, and I said something similar about using mockery against them not all that long ago, but that’s only useful when they actually see or hear it, and that’s unlikely for a random post on lemmy. I recommend joining Truth Social and posting it there. (I don’t actually recommend joining Truth Social - I’m not a monster)

          Anyway, carry on.

            Heh, yeah, I’m fresh out of hazmat suits, so I’m going to stay away from that particular site.

            Yeah, I know it’s never going to be something that Musk sees (even though he’s weirdly, like, the most chronically-online billionaire ever). But maybe normalizing it here means that more people will do it in places where he can see it? I dunno.
