    It’s honestly really gross that he immediately jumps to thinking she’s hitting on him. Like, him freaking out and going into a fit of rage might have been a less terrible response.

      I assume he doesn’t really think that, but thinks he’s being a cute troll. Like picking 420.69 for everything.

      Trying to deflect assumed criticism about him by being “funny”.

        Musk sent the funniest response he could possibly think of.

        Remember middle school?

        NO I WON’T MAKE OUT WITH YOU!

        Or was that elementary?

    Is there a place to verify these posts are real without actually touching Twitter (currently known as Elon Musk’s X)? I see there’s blue checkmarks on them but I have a feeling a really cleaver hacker could fake those in an image.

      Here’s my Nitter search with some filters:

      The iPhone let me copy that text out of the image (fastest way was to screenshot and then hold my finger on the text in the screenshot preview). I then tapped “look up” and DuckDuckGo found articles about the exchange. But for less popular Tweets, Nitter should work.

    I don’t know why people love her so much, all she does is perpetuate this shitty style of politics. Why can’t they talk like grown-ups?

      I wouldn’t consider myself a progressive but AOC is the best among her peers when it comes to messaging with younger Americans. Perhaps this is the future of politics. Maybe it’s just a phase. Regardless, she’s good at it

        AOC voted to force an end to the rail union strike. She’s just another neoliberal saying how do you do fellow kids.

      In fairness the setup was absolutely beautiful. She’s some woman for the zingers.

        Well, the setup worked for whichever side chimed in. Elon never stood a chance. The fact that she was describing multiple people is truely terrifying. But I guess that’s her point.

      Elon is not a narcissist, he’s an asshole. Narcissists are innocent victims of abuse. You’re a bigot who hates disabled people.

        Victims of abuse? Possibly. Innocent? No.

        Just because you’re the victim of abuse, that doesn’t give you the right to abuse others, and you aren’t “innocent” if you do so.

          I never abused anyone and neither did most people with NPD, because there is no link between having NPD and abusing others. You just invented an imaginary association between pwNPD and abusers because you hate disabled people.
