Billionaire compares Minnesota governor to clown emoji: ‘Saving the American people from the torture of hearing you speak for four years was worth it’
Elon Musk went on a late-night attack against Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz after he called the billionaire a “dips***” during a rally in Madison, Wisconsin.
“Elon’s on that stage, jumping around, skipping like a dips***,” Walz said on Tuesday, referring to Musk as former President Donald Trump’s “running mate.”
Musk initially appeared alongside Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the site of the first assassination attempt against the ex-commander-in-chief less than two months previously. The videos of the billionaire jumping on stage when Trump called him up quickly went viral.

If he was trying to prove he isn't a dipshit, I think he failed.

Also:
I'm guessing most people, even a lot of people here, did not get that reference.
That's because it's a reference from a vice presidential debate in 1992.

I don't even know why I remember that.
What a dipshit.

Not gonna lie, that humility/candor would've made me more likely to vote for Perot/Stockdale.

The problem with Perot/Stockdale wasn't Stockdale, it was Perot. He was nuts. He would have been almost as bad as Trump. His understanding of the economy wasn't much better either.

Perot did have a stronger charts and graphs game than mister Sharpie, though.
Also, as bad as a Perot presidency might have been, he wasn't openly hateful like Trump, nor as obsessed with breaking the system if the results didn't go his way. It was kind of a Diet Populism.

It just shows you how far we've fallen.

Trump manages to be worse than Goldwater in a variety of areas. Goldwater was supposed to be our low point (post Lindbergh)

He proved he was a dipshit when he accused a cave diver risking his life saving children of being a pedophile.

Every time Walz opens his mouth I like him more. Every time musk brainfarts I like him less.

What kind of sheltered people get offended by "dipshit" to the level they have to censor it?
GetOffMyLan@programming.dev · 23 pts · 1y
Some people just don't like swearing. Nothing wrong with that. The publisher's goal is to get readers so it's an easy way to not reduce numbers.

Nothing wrong, just puritanical and immature.

What kind of person is offended by masking swears in an article?
Steve@communick.news · 7 pts · 1y
The kind who's disappointed in people for believing in magic words.

Sorry, thin-skinned dipshit.

Sounds like a typical dipshit move from Musk.

Hey, it might also be because Walz can keep a wife

It makes me said that muskshit doesn't want to fly to Mars himself. We should have gotten rid of that cunt once and for all.
ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one · 10 pts · 1y
I say send all the billionaires on a one way trip to Mars. All these billionaires think that civilization needs them, well go build a new civilization. We'll all sit back and watch them fuck up.

Can you imagine if one of them had to screw in a light bulb.
ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one · 5 pts · 1y
They would give some sort of motivational speech about how back in the day; they pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and screwed the lightbulb in themself.
Meanwhile completely omitting the fact that they were born into generational wealth.
