I guess Elon Musk’s brainrot has now gone too far, beyond any hope of recovery.
Is defamation part of free speech, now?
We can start from something breezy, as he says:
Who could disagree with “what is FAIR and RIGHT”?
I guess it is fair and right to despise diversity you don’t like. And note that “blasphemous” is there for a reason. There’s a religious undercurrent to all of this. Isn’t it wonderful?
While feverishly shitposting, Elon Musk got to this. The Olympics are now a target of right-wing zealots, this is in the news. What I don’t expect to be in the news is the actual defamation:
Continuing right below:
Note again the undercurrent: “occult opening ceremony” in the first post, and “demonic” in the second. Why? Because of the rabbit hole of conspiracies that Elon Musk intends to groom.
If you check the timestamps of these posts you’ll see that they weren’t written during the ceremony, they only started to appear afterwards, after the machine of propaganda was set in motion. Elon Musk got the cues and jumped on board for the ride.
At this point one usually gives the benefit of the doubt. Some people might have seen those images and thought it was actually a dude with his balls out in front of kids, right? RIGHT?
Yet the video, if you go look it up, is so blurry that it’s hard to believe it wasn’t purposefully done so to create the illusion for something that could be otherwise debunked in two seconds. The other static images that are used as “proof” are even harder to take seriously, because you really do need to have a deranged mind to think the dude has “his junk out”, rather than a tear in his stockings.
But my point here is different. I jumped to conclusions without even opening the video, and without even looking the other images. For me, Occam’s Razor here was simply enough to reach a reasonable conclusion WITHOUT any other evidence, until proven otherwise. Just think about it. Do you think it PLAUSIBLE that an official performer at the Olympics took his dick out in front of some kids, and to be broadcasted across the whole world during the opening ceremony? Just like that?
And do you think any of these idiots retweeting this shit in outrage, a day after it happened, cared to verify? Verify for what? It was already evident, no need to spend 5 minutes to actually find a different angle that would easily debunk the whole thing. Do we REALLY need further proof to realize that this dude INDEED did not take out his dick in front of everyone?
But isn’t it funny? Aren’t you LAUGHING? Isn’t it all a meme, defamation and everything included?
Do we hand wave it away like another funny meme?
Of course this is actually illegal as it is serious defamation. But do you think anything will come out of this?
Obviously not. If you scroll back up, you’ll notice that Elon Musk wrote his message ending with a question mark. He often uses this strategy of leading questions so that the public he grooms will complete it, while leaving the door open to claim innocence for himself.
He just asked a question. It’s just the internet. It’s all a funny meme. Haha, have you no sense of humor?
Do you think anyone rectified the misinformation that was broadcasted all over the place? Do you think anyone apologized? Do you think it would even matter?
Mission accomplished. Reinforcing biases is always the goal of propaganda.
Have you seen season 4 of The Boys? Well, if you haven’t then you aren’t missing anything worthwhile. If you did, then you probably remember that little bit in episode 2 about “Truthcon.” What’s incredible for me isn’t that what we see in fiction is now an accurate description rather than an exaggeration. But that we have embraced it all. This is our world and we simply embraced it all without any reaction. We’ve all been brainwashed to accept the worst, and just answer with a fatalistic shrug.
It’s alright. There’s nothing to worry about.

Predictably, they are still grooming on one side, and turning it into an HILARIOUS meme on the other: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1817299858962698379
Meanwhile, the grooming and mocking continues.
Meanwhile (2), he’s reposting this.
Quite the headline to make the intended impression, right? Maybe that timestamp in the article should give an hint, but of course most people see that and think it’s something new.
If you look up the actual article (at least it’s true), you realize it’s about the case of Helmut Kentler, who died 16 years ago, and referring to a fact “in the late 1960s.”
But let’s have some convenient outrage now.
Meanwhile (3), Elon Musk posted a deepfake “ad” of Kamala Harris. Without specifying it was indeed deepfake and parody. A look at the comments indicates lots of idiots fell for it, and obviously Elon Musk uses this conscientiously… Meaning that he knows and exploits these effects, like the opportunist he is.
https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1816974609637417112
Notice that “parody” isn’t shown anywhere. If you retweet this, the part at the bottom where it says “from Mr Reagan” also disappears.
When defending from this, Elon Musk didn’t link his own original message, but the original that was clearly marked as PARODY:
https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1817775398047937009
That Elon Musk is an hypocrite and an opportunist shouldn’t shock anyone:
https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1589390597798125568
When he was the target, he quickly reacted, of course. Do you think he’ll now permanently suspend himself?
It’s obvious here that it’s not the nature of that original post, the problem. Absolutely not. The problem is solely the absence of the flag as parody. As he himself said. Note that in his original post he didn’t simply retweet the post, otherwise he would have preserved the message stating it was parody. What he did, instead, was to EMBED the video, so that the original message would be completely hidden. The intent is obvious. The first message with “parody” hidden away, has 129 million views, the one correctly flagged as parody instead only 12.3 million views.
Has he apologized for removing the flag? Of course not.
On the other hand, lets be clear. Gavin Newsom post is also all wrong. “Manipulating a voice in an “ad” like this one should be illegal.” No, you idiot. It only needs to be clearly marked as parody. Deliberate propaganda that is EASILY proven false should be illegal. Like the stuff I described here above. Stop wasting time on the useless while what matters is given a free pass.
The image itself is completely idiotic either:
“The origin of the video isn’t known yet.”
What?! It’s a repost from a different message. There’s a link right below. The origin doesn’t fucking matter, these things are everywhere. It’s the DELIBERATE USE of disinformation the problem. And here it’s all about Elon Musk HIDING the message indicating it was parody, not the existence of the video. That’s all.
Meanwhile (4), and I’m going to stop here because it gets boring, more actual defamation:
https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1817946408126665049
But what gets my attention here is how Elon would expect to solve this. The latest outrage is all about California and schools hiding stuff about kids from their parents. As if this is a government taking kids away from the rightful authority of their families.
So lets assume here what Elon says, and that Megan Fox is abusing her children. So who’s going to prevent this crime? If the state can’t do anything because parents of these kids have the utmost priority, and Megan Fox is the legitimate parent of these kids, what is this “child abuse” based on? Who decides?
That’s the funny thing about Elon. He’s such an opportunist that you can just wait long enough (usually days, if not hours), that he ends up contradicting himself:
https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1813786437172748575
I guess Elon Musk has more authority over someone else’s kids, enough to defame Megan Fox calling her child abuser?
https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1813941222463217866
…So who’s in charge in the case of child abuse, if not the state? What happens when parents abuse their kids but the state can’t intervene to break the parent-child relationship?
https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1814049253502632185
So who are you to have a say on Megan Fox kids, huh?
