"Post it. People will just assume our account got hacked. What are they going to do, defund us?"

Turns out...yes.

For all we know it could have been fucking Elon behind the hack. I seriously would not put anything past him anymore.

No way Elon could do something like that and not loudly take credit for it, there's no way.

Are you telling me the people accusing others of antisemitism are spreading antisemitic conspiracies?

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

More or less, yeah. You can see it right in that thread.

I think that was a sarcastic "Projection?! Who could have predicted this?!!!!1!" type comment

I was quite confused until I realized that Elon wouldn't have his own handle be "elmo" and the remembered the event with ACTUAL Elmo.

I hate this goddamned country so fucking much
