I wish I could be on a unenjoyment vacation
Stress can negatively affect one’s lifespan.
Let’s double our efforts.
Fuck Elon Musk.
There are much more effective methods of negatively effecting his lifespan.
Yeah, but some of them are legal and can be performed from the safety of your couch...
-
Safe and legal
-
Effective
Unfortunately we've reached the point where we do actually need to pick just one.
Well go ahead, I wish you luck.
Me? I'm sticking with safe and legal. I lack the skills and resources to have a sliver of a chance at carrying out the other path successfully, let alone walking away from it with my freedom or life intact.
It's weird how often people try to pin it on me personally when I point out that we're relying on a vigilante... it's like calling 911 to report that a building is on fire, and the operator asks why I'm not running into it with a bucket.
Don't get me wrong - I'd love to be the hero of the day here, but I'm under no delusion that that fantasy will amount to anything tangible. Apologies if my previous post gave you any false hope.
It’s weird how often people try to pin it on me personally
it is weird how often there are consequences to my own actions... 😆

so what exactly was your point? did you want to encourage others to do what you won't do yourself? or were you under the impression that people actually don't jave this very generic piece of knowledge and wanted it to share? guess what, most people lack the skill or resources to do that and get away free, or a will to martyr themselves for it, same as you.
and the people who do have the skills and resources and would be willing to think about it don't need your advice to do it.

no, it is like a voyeur watching a house on fire shouting "why isn't someone running in with a bucket?" and when someone asks "well, why aren't you?" they start producing some word salad hoping to drown their own words in it...

...what actions? And what consequences? Are you confusing this with some other comment chain or something?
so what exactly was your point? did you want to encourage others to do what you won’t do yourself?
Yes. I'd draw special attention to military personnel and federal workers who all swore an oath to defend the constitution from all threats foreign and domestic; and folks in the military in particular having the training and resources to carry out a mission like that.
I ask others to do things I can't do myself all the time - that's how specializations work. If I could save the US by setting up for a surgery, then fuck yeah, I'm on it! ...but somehow I don't think my skillset is going to be of much use here, so I'm relying someone else with the means to get the job done. Same as if I need my tooth drilled or car fixed or something - I can't do those either, but that's not going to stop me from asking someone who can when my tooth hurts or car stops working.
guess what, most people lack the skill or resources to do that and get away free, or a will to martyr themselves for it, same as you.
Then most people should stick with safe and legal, same as me.

Feel free to elaborate on whatever was going through your head when you typed that, cuz what the fuck?
The man has billions, he could retire and live a life of hedonistic bliss unavailable to any human in history.
Instead he chooses to meddle in politics and signal boost the worst portions of humanity.
I can't find any fucks to give.
As if he doesn’t also have millions of hollow-brained adoring money-worshipping fans who think he’s the best thing since the third reich. That should balance out the hate.
I used to get death threats online pretty regularly. It definitely doesn't balance out. That said, Musk has earned this. I'm not going to feel sad about a guy doing a fascist coup having his feelings hurt when people don't like it
I work in gender affirming care that includes pediatric populations and have my services listed online for referrals. It’s not super common to be fair but every once in a while I get an email or voicemail that’s like “you’re a child abuser and you should die” or some shit. It’s why I specifically say voicemail; I don’t answer calls to my business phone bc of this. Everything gets screened and I call back. Thankfully it’s infrequent and this has been enough to ensure I never have to engage with these people.
You’re absolutely right though. I’ve posted about my work before and people will sometimes be like “thank you for doing what you do”. I appreciate that, and those comments outnumber these threats, which again are not very common, but they stick out. Even the ones that don’t wish me dead. Once I got an email that just said “f*g enabler”. I don’t know why I remember that. It was years ago.
It’s the knowledge that someone out there absolutely hates you and wants you to die without knowing anything (really) about who you are, I think.
The really sad part of this is that this is a core part of the minority stress model; that feeling constant oppression from the world around you is noxious and has measurable consequences on physical and mental health. If he and his dumb racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic, etc cronies reflected on their experience and practiced empathy for even a moment they would realize that this stress is something experienced almost constantly by someone on their hit list, because of them.
Edit: while I appreciate the positivity I genuinely didn’t mean for this to be a “please give me positive support” thing. I dunno I always feel awkward posting about this because it’s like I’m fishing for compliments at the expense of one of the most marginalized communities out there. You don’t need to thank me, though I do appreciate it quite a bit
You've made the world a far better place than any of those shitstains could ever hope to. However little it may mean, you're improving and saving lives, and we're all thankful for it.

Thank you immensely for doing what you do, and for persevering through the difficult parts while doing it. You're exactly the kind of hero we need more of. I'm sorry there are still so many terrible people.

Thank you. I can't find the words to express how much I admire you for doing the work you do despite the hate. I'm sorry we live in a world where the work you do inspires such vile sentiment, but I'm grateful for people like you making the world less horrible.

It should, if it’s organic. It probably ruins the magic when you know a large portion (who knows, maybe even a majority) of them are either literal bots or paid participants in disinformation campaigns.

I love this acronym
Elon if you're reading this I'm really sorry. In fact I believe we should make you feel even more pain, garbage.
Better if he didn't feel anything at all.
Ever again.
Normalize Elon hate
I never understood liking Elon.
Back in the day, all I knew about him were these "facts": He invented PayPal, Tesla, and started SpaceX ... Didn't learn the truth until later.
He started beleiving his own PR.
The cave rescue “pedo” comment was my turning point, like a lot of people.
He’s fucking repulsive. And an example of the worst humanity has to offer.
Trump is older, and has had much more time to establish his credentials as a crumb.
Like any young gun, Elon has to double down to surpass the master.
I hate him offline too!
Don't feel too special Elon. You are just the biggest cancerous tissue but nevertheless you are in the same category
Sounds like he isn't getting nearly enough in person.
Fuck you Elon!
If I had his wealth, the world would be a different place and no one would know my name because I'm laying drunk on a beach somewhere. Then again, I'm not pathologically greedy (apathy), so I wouldn't be able to accumulate that all in the first place.
Keep it up everyone! Maybe we can get him to overdose or have a heart attack or something.
if he only reads X.com comments, i am afraid you're going down a path I can't follow
The Neo-Nazi nepo baby of an emerald mine owner can't get enough hate
Well that's what happens when you groom your stepdaughter
I feel bad for the world's richest attention seeker.
"Wah! This hate isn't supposed to be at meeEEE!"
Fucker has been getting cyberbullied practically non-stop since he bought Twitter. If anything, it's not stressful enough.
He can stress on these balls
He'd best be happy its just online so far. IRL reckoning isn't so easy to ignore
He can still ignore it. Ignorance is an active thing and if a .308 tears through his head guided by the wroth of Simo Hayha I doubt there'd be enough time for to realize he was shot before he dies.
Nice thought
He should walk about a bit in public, get a sense of the offline hate.
