I think that's pretty hilarious. It has caught the ire of a lot of furious unhinged puritans too, which has actually been the funniest thing about it for me.

It doesn’t bother me because it’s lascivious, it bothers me because it’s the comedy equivalent of fart noises. It was one thing when he was just a user of Twitter, but now he’s in charge, and it seems like a tone is being set that’s not really the vibe I’m into. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

  I would say fart noises are the comedy equivalent of fart noises, but in any case, I sure do love people getting upset by the comedy equivalent of fart noises. Speaking of which, I would actually pay Musk $8 if it meant he would post a video of himself doing the old underarm fart noise thing and I could see all the fantastic "well I never" reactions from everybody who got upset by it.

  >It was one thing when he was just a user of Twitter, but now he’s in charge, and it seems like a tone is being set that’s not really the vibe I’m into. What's wrong with the new owner of Twitter using Twitter in exactly the same way that a lot of other Twitter users use it for, memes and jokes? I find that rather refreshing, actually. It's a variant of eating one's own dogfood.

It would be funny for Musk to share privately with friends. It is a deeply strange and inappropriate thing for the CEO of a billion dollar company to post publicly. Something is deeply wrong with Musk's decision making process.

  He can get away with posting just about any silly thought because he has no board of directors to answer to and no one can fire him. Big difference when you are thinking of him as a CEO.

    I understand how he can get a way with it, just not his thought process.

      What would stop you from posting that? Are they internal or external barriers?

        A sense of decorum. It is fundamentally a drawing of a woman showing her vag.

        But I like drawings of women showing their vag.

        Would you post one on a company message board?

That post really did bring the church ladies out. Puritanism runs deep.

  Lots of people are puritans, I was talking about the puritans making themselves terribly offended by that meme. If Musk is one too it doesn't mean they aren't, it's not based on some relative scale here. But I am using the lowercase puritan which probably doesn't fit him. I didn't know that he lead an extremist cult though, not that I have ever cared to find out much about his life or beliefs. It wouldn't surprise me, I think a lot of the ruling class and ultra rich are terrible people who we should not be living under. That said I have noticed the claims of Musk's terribleness and extremism may have a tiny correlation with his unwillingness to toe the Democrat party line. Now quite possibly that's just a coincidence and there's absolutely no causation there, nevertheless if I were ever in a situation where that information would be important to a decision, it would behoove me to take it on its merits rather than on faith.
