Do you think Trump will actually give Elon a role in his admin? : chapotraphouse

I don't think there's anyway that Trump and Elon don't fall out in a hilarious way

[–] HoiPolloi@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

It's going to be great. The picture of Trump look at Elon with contempt when King Bazinga was jumping up and down for X was the funniest thing from the whole election.

I see he did not survive the purge. sans-shrug

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, he deleted his own account for opsec reasons or maybe he just wanted to spend less time online.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Ah, seems like alot of that going around.

I don't think that's correct. I heard Ulysses logged off again but more permanently to help build communism. He did it himself.

[–] MohammedTheCommunistPalestinian@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Why ?

They were cool 😢

[–] CantaloupeAss@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some people were banned for shitty behavior, but UlyssesT left at least a day before all that happened, simply because he wanted to spend his time doing other things

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, his reversion back to extremely-online made me scratch my head.

[–] CantaloupeAss@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Eh, I'm impartial. He pissed off a few people I know though. I won't say more.

did something happen when I was studying for my finals ?

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Struggle session got a lil crazy, bunch of people got banned/deleted accounts/decided to take a break because it was a shitshow.

Edit: shitty wifi causing message duplications because I think it doesn't process but it does

[–] MohammedTheCommunistPalestinian@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

bunch of people got banned

why though ? did they break the rules ? ,what caused this ? was it the US Elections ? ,were they being libs about the results ?

sorry if I am asking too many questions but I am pretty confused ,I hope I am not breaking the rules

Also I have been here for 6 months or more and I still don't understand what does Struggle session mean ,English is not my first language and this particular phrase I have only ever seen it used by HexeBear (love you all)

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Most of the answers can be found on main, but the main catalyst was the dredge/dunk tank being pulled without any input from the community beforehand.

[–] MohammedTheCommunistPalestinian@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

thanks for answering ma'am , I was kinda sad they were removed but it's not worth getting banned over especially if it's true that the name for one of them has a racist origin ,have a good day comrade ,I am off to study for my finals (hope the mossad doesn't get me)

[–] bunnygirl@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

I've only been partially paying attention, but I don't think anybody was really mad about the name changes themselves, mostly the implied rule changes and the way it was handled without community input.

From what I've seen, most of the bans were pretty dumb and shallow, and those have basically all been reversed

Also struggle session is a term that comes from the Chinese revolution, but it really just means 'an argument' (as in, people are arguing) here

Good luck with your exams comrade o7

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Good luck in your studies, also it seems Ulysses decided to purge himself. Idk what his reasoning was though.

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's used slightly differently from the origin of the term, for the past decade it's been used especially by the online left (semi-ironically?) to refer to a very drawn-out and public fight within a party, especially over doctrine.

[–] MohammedTheCommunistPalestinian@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

thanks comrade

Elon cant take the hit to his ego, and becomes a democrat

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Democrats move to the right next election to try to court Elon and also as a result of his meddling. Democrats lose all but three seats to the next Republican nominee, a man who claims to literally be the reincarnation of Hitler. Liberals blame leftists.

Elon (and his family) used to be a Obama/Biden libs, then in 2022 he decided to go full redditor chud pretending to be nostalgic for the 1990's (Elon is 50 years old btw). I think Trump 100% fucking hates Elon and will call him a slur and kick him out for Republican Ghoul #69 (le epic funni number elon likes)

Trump will make him literally get on his knees and beg, then 2 years in they'll have a rift and he'll be out. SpaceX and Tesla will still have abominable levels of government funding though.
