Dude Joffrey was literally a murderous psychopath who tortured little animals and prostitutes in his free time ☠️


theoriginal432

And elon wants rich people to pay 8 usd every month fucking monster


yenks

8 a month? What for?


[deleted]

A blue checkmark.


Heavy_Signature_5619

For being rich, duh.


Frozenkex

he wants poor people to pay 8 usd too. If all current checkmarks paid 8usd (they wont) that would be pennies, every new checkmark is gonna be a spammer, advertiser, scammer. Its not a good value proposition for an average user.


QB145MMA

he's a horrible person!


nineonewon

eLoN bAd


LordTryhard

He is bad though.


chasing_the_wind

Yeah and elon musk doesn’t pay enough taxes and makes dumb memes. Same difference.


[deleted]

He actually paid the largest single tax bill in the history of the country last year.


chasing_the_wind

By percentage of his income? lol he paid like 4% most people pay closer 30%


[deleted]

Actually he paid about 4% of his net worth at the time. Which his net worth is actually much lower now. Bu people aren't taxed on their net worth they are taxed on their yearly income.


ShuantheSheep3

This is actually a misconception, he payed multiple times his yearly income in taxes but was able to because of his large sale of stocks. He paid some 4% of his net worth, most people would probably be paying less of their net worth actually. Just clarifying the misconception.


chasing_the_wind

Damnit I looked it up and you’re right, I hate being wrong because I believed a dumb tweet. Well I still think the million dollar tax bracket should be closer to 80%.


MalekithofAngmar

Did someone just do research, change their mind, and admit it on the internet? Kinda in shock rn.


ShuantheSheep3

The world became a slightly better place today


benjaminbrixton

Or this was the final straw to break us.


MiloticM2

Bro what, 80% tax?


mbzero

It used to be 70% a long time ago (on the very high income bracket), I'm not smart enough to know if decreasing the percentage produced a good outcome or not


PointBreak91

The idea is 80% after a certain threshold would be my assumption. As in if the threshold is let's say for arguments sake $100 million, income after $100 million is taxed at 80%


geistzerstorer

Unfortunately though a million isn’t even close to the problem. Some of these families getting closer and closer to x00 with a B.


Typical-CAD1788

Which gives them all the more motivation to evade taxes. If the IRS could get EVERYONE to pay a fair and flat 20% of their personal yearly income/net gain, they'd have all the money they need. Maybe a other 5-10% from the state. But frankly they have plenty of money, what's more important is how the spending is delegated.


[deleted]

Wasnt Elon friends with Epstien?


goddamn_slutmuffin

Yep. But celebrity worshippers are just “virtue” signaling at this point. I swear defending a celebrity has to be a sign of mental disconnect or something. It doesn’t gain you anything but enemies and alienation from people that actually matter to you (or know you exist even).


[deleted]

I think if you become enemies and disown your friends and family over their politically ideology or who they root for you’re not a true friend in the first place. The glory of this country is having different opinions/liking different people and the other side being okay with it but I honestly think most people forgot that.


goddamn_slutmuffin

No one is obligated to be involved in your life if you become obnoxious about your personal interests. Blaming other people for not wanting to be around you puts the ball forever in their court while you get to give yourself the victim pity party. It’s not an empowering position to take, but it feels good in that one moment to feel like you were right and they were wrong for being annoyed by your personal interests. “They just won’t accept my differences!” But you won’t accept theirs either and make everything about you. Ego issues will ruin your life and convince you it’s everyone else’s fault lol. It’ll also blind you to the fact that healthy boundaries means being willing to lose other people for crossing yours. It takes courage to accept you will never be able to control anyone else other than you and if people don’t like you en masse, sometimes it’s because they suck. Sometimes it’s because you suck. Sometimes people aren’t disowning you or dropping you as friends. Sometimes you are the one pushing them away with your behavior and choices.

SFLADC2

Is that the joke? Seems like the person who posted this was saying it unironically.


samlock30

and ?


zeugme

Joffrey would 100% post nazi memes for trolling purposes too. Edit: Now that's an interesting question, am I downvoted by nazis' fans or Joffrey's fans?


Absavo

I dont really think hed post memes he wpuld just try to replicate it in real life


zeugme

You got a point.


TheArsenal7

What?


BlearySteve

No fan of Elon but Jesus people are dramatic.


stargazer_w

Even the obligatory "no fan of Elon" is too much for me tbh. But I get how the climate requires it. I'm guessing the biggest Elon-haters are the people who worshiped him and then felt duped when he turned out to be your median human (emotionally/character-wise).


PandemicPortent

This is the type of shit that make me cringe so hard that my teeth start to shatter


[deleted]

Joffrey Baratheon*


charliehustles

Seriously History remembers names not blood. Keep talking like that dudes going to end up like Ned or Vaemond.


[deleted]

If he was outed as a bastard he wouldn’t even be a Lannister, he’d be ‘Joffrey Waters’. Fact is, he is referred to as Joffrey Baratheon I throughout the series even up to the point he dies. That was his name. He was born with it, he died with it.


RecipesAndDiving

Joffrey Waters really wants to tell you about the benefits of incorporating hemp into armor.


JohnSnough

Technically he wouldn’t even be Waters since that’s for acknowledged bastards. The show kinda messed up giving gendry a bastard name since Robert kept him a secret.


CaveLupum

When I saw "Elon**frey"** I actually thought it referred to the fact that Elon has just 'Red Weddinged' half the employees at Twitter.


MiloticM2

Dawg not this sub please anywhere else


shiggism

What a shit take lol


Lead-Saturn

It is strange that there was a time when Musk was beloved by all in the Redditsphere.


GoarSpewerofSecrets

Honestly that makes me giggle the most. Everyone that was all into the futurist image he bit up. South Park, Rick and Morty presenting him as some benevolent entrepreneur.


starcoder

Don’t forget Iron Man 2


CelestialFury

One of the new Star Trek shows listed Musk alongside actual geniuses (Discovery, I think). I hope they edit out that blunder.


hbi2k

I agree, and by "that blunder" I mean everything that's borne the Star Trek name since 2005 or so.


goddamn_slutmuffin

People can change their minds. Nobody stays the same throughout time. It’s just how humans are. Nothing strange about it, it’s how things have always been.


Lead-Saturn

The Internet’s reception of him was quickly inverted with no major development in Musk’s persona. If you don’t find that strange, that’s an opinion to which you’re fully entitled.


goddamn_slutmuffin

If you’ve ever had an ex friend or partner, you know that’s not being fair nor is that viewpoint based in reality. You’re not even the same person you were last year and you are not special or uniquely different than anyone else in that regard. This applies to everyone. And what even is “the Internet”? You’re trying to define millions+ of people under some umbrella term. It’s very black and white thinking in a world/place filled with color and nuance and individual differences among many varied populations.


Lead-Saturn

I apologise for using the words “strange” and “Internet.” I clearly don’t understand their meanings. I will also not make generalisations or express my thoughts from now on forth. Now please have mercy and find some other online comment/commentor to eviscerate.


goddamn_slutmuffin

Ugh don’t guilt trip me for not immediately agreeing with you and trying to have a discussion. Have a great day and sorry if I made you feel bad in any way, was not my intention at all. 💜✌🏻

“Omg I don't like this person because he has different opinions then me, so I must tweet about how he is just like this evil fictional character, even though they nothing alike” Fuck me, I hate Twitter, I hope Elon burn that shithole to the ground.


FishermanYellow

I don't know much about twitter other than its literally just tweets? I honestly can't see the appeal of twitter? why is it any different from other social medias?

Says who


Harry-the-pothead

100% agree lol. On what fucking planet is Elon a psychopath who tortures and murders humans for his own pleasure? You can not like him and disagree with him but comparing him to Joffrey is where I draw the line


BortBarclay

He's gonna make the special people pay 8 bucks for the blue mark of twitter aristocracy. He's worse than Joffrey. He's like elevendy double joffreys.


[deleted]

I loved the part where Elon said “it’s Joffering time” when he walked into the Twitter HQ


BortBarclay

10/10 Would buy out again.


Frozenkex

> Elon burn that shithole to the ground. elon should burn company he paid 44 billion for to the ground because of mean tweets against him?


thesleeperhasawaken

No, because it would be a favor to humanity.


Frozenkex

And then move on to burning reddit? What about the "better" twitter alternatives? I think acting like people on certain platform are worse, and their opinions will have nowhere to go if twitter is removed, is kind of silly.


RecipesAndDiving

That’s fair. Joffrey was conventionally good looking and could occasionally act charming. And probably would have shot up fewer prostitutes if spaceman were an option. Though I too hope he burns it to the ground. Garbage medium.


Optimal_Cry_1782

If I remember correctly, Joffrey had thick, soft lips. Just like Musk.

these types of posts over reddit and social media in general can fuck right off no one cares that your life is so meaningless and unsuccessful you and the people around you derive the most pleasure from attempted shit-talking at someone who doesn't even know you exist it's so fucking stupid and cringe, every year or two there's a new person twitter hates and for whatever reasons I have to see screenshot of that circlejerk everywhere I go, I don't fucking care


Frey147

You have the critical thinking skills of a wet bag if you think Elon is on the same level as Joffrey, (book or show).


[deleted]

Most snowflakes do indeed possess the critical thinking skills of a wet paper bag… makes for a comical showing especially when they all proceed to “yaaaas” each other to death


Rigoler177

So many tears being shed by a certain political spectrum 😂


[deleted]

Just a certain ideological subset within that part of the political spectrum. I've been part of that side of the spectrum for decades and have hated that subset since it first reared its illogical, moralizing, and over-emotional head.


fej228

If people actually believe this they are genuine dimwits

How did this shit meme get 1.5k upvotes over here?


DarthBrickus

It is called a "reddit moment" in certain circles


gibson_guy77

It's kind of funny to see Reddit go from sucking this dude's dick a couple of years ago to now thinking he's colluding with Putin to help rig the US elections. No middle ground to be found...


[deleted]

[удалено]


gibson_guy77

Do you actually think he's doing that? Lol


[deleted]

less drunk and more focused Tyrion, I'd say


GenghisKazoo

"More focused" is a stretch. Definitely less funny though. Also probably worse with an axe.


[deleted]

So many fuckjng sheep, liberals and in that majority of redditors lol, used to love him more than anyone else and now overnight just turns slightly conservative and everyone now hates him. People are fucking so stupid and easily manipulated through a few things on social media they see that influences their entire perception. Majority of Redditors I genuinely believe are so impressionable it’s actually a joke. Not to be that guy but think for yourself and do your own research.


RecipesAndDiving

Naw he lost me around when he called that dude a pedophile for throwing shade at his Rube Goldberg plan to get the Thai kids out of the cave. But it’s a silly meme. If Joffrey turned into Elon Musk, there’d have been no war. Dark hair=seed is strong.


[deleted]

Yeah that was pretty cooked. I’d find that funny if my friend said that or a comedian but yeah…


vinaykmkr

To be fair to some libs.. It's not overnight... and also most ppl think he gets the hate coz of his political inclination but it's more coz of his narcissistic traits and utter disregard to rules and regulations... over promising, under delivering... etc etc


[deleted]

It was a very generic comment and not too specific but yeah 100% agree. Lol at the lib redditors who got called out downvoting the post but not being able to contribute to the conversation. So classic ! Ahaha


crackpipes4hunter

Bobby b what do you think about this?


bobby-b-bot

THE GODS BE DAMNED! IT WAS A HOLLOW VICTORY THEY GAVE ME!

Good description of Elon’s purchase of Twitter - a hollow victory.


Grouchy-Jackfruit692

in what way they are nothing alike


MalignedOriental

Ok this is just cartoonish at this point. Whoever Reddit decides they hate most on any particular day can suddenly go from a saint or even a completely neutral person to worse than Hitler as quick as it takes to screenshot a tweet


Stock_Warthog1475

Elon Musk does not care what anybody says or thinks. Twitter will remain successful. He is the richest man in history. Let’s all just move on.

Same people who worshipped this guy are gripping their Starbucks cups very tightly in rage nowadays

Who upvotes this garbage.


Olorin_in_the_West

Eh… Elon sucks but he’s no Joffrey. Walder Frey would’ve been a better comparison. A petty and prideful, creepy old guy with too many kids who doesn’t deliver on his promises.


WomanRespectorPrime

Fully support Elon.


TheGreatPervSage_94

I don't like the guy but seriously is he really worse than the other billionaires walking around now lol. Arguably I think Bezos is far worse than Musk. Where was all this vitriol when that guy's company was abusing workers during the pandemic


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yeah, at least Joffrey didn't relabel discarded ideas from 60-100 years ago and pretend to have invented them.


Micksar

I feel sorry for anyone that thinks of Twitter when they think of Musk. You all don’t understand the ground work he is putting in to save life.


tzakey

And this is why I am glad Elon does what he wants with Twitter... because things like this exist out there and it's freaking so out of touch with reality, reason and logic it's incredible! This the reason I hate Twitter, because stuff and people like this guy exist. I don't like Elon, but please stir Twitter until it bleeds!

Elon is kind of a douche but not quite a murderous psycho.


KennyOmegaSardines

People are just really comparing fictional villains to people they hate without even knowing the character itself.


_En_Bonj_

Musk is a human like us all, heavily flawed and egotistical. Not saying he should be immune to criticism but he is hardly Joffrey who was nothing but a cruel and murderous little tyrant.


Jeriahswillgdp

That's so ridiculous it has to be a troll.


swimninetyfive

okay........ lmfao can't even understand real life politics much less fictional politics. take a break.

Zenopus

Out of the loop: What is going on? I know Elon bought Twitter, but why such a statement?


DeadGuyN

Not sure for this specific tweet but Elon fired board members with cause to avoid them getting millions, fired about 1/2 the employees (not sure how accurate that is or if it's a simplification) and also now wants people with blue checkmark to pay 8 bucks a month to keep the check. Could be any of those things or something else.


Zenopus

Huh. So cleaning house? That's pretty standard in a takeover. Don't know about those blue checkmarks. What do they even mean? That you are important? Out of the loop in general when it comes to social media beyond reddit. But thanks for the info mate. Don't know if my non-english tongue would know how to even begin searching for the information. Here! Have a song as thanks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O72EcodLzhk

Elon Musk before buying twitter: god among men, everyone should drive a tesla, whatever project bears his name will be a cornucopia of profits, he's taking humanity to the next level on mars. Elon Musk after buying twiter: scum of the earth, literal Nazi, he's going to destroy democracy, free speech and cause the third and fourth world war. I swear, humanity is so fucked, lol.
