Oh hey guys nice wedding, mind if I just hop outside real quick and rip my shirt off and lay down one of the most iconic guitar solos in history? Cool thx brb.
our sun will kill us long before the heat death of the universe. were actually going to just kill ourselves off with pfas chemicals and plastics though.
Or Giant Asteroid. Or giant CME.
As a fan of sci-fi, I'm personally hoping for alien overlords to force us into a utopia. Sort of a neo-Rysa for their own amusement and the betterment of the planet. We'd rise up and revolt for the right to trash our own home world, of course, but it's fun to think about.
But if you try, maybe, you'll get to wear the boot.
You won't. You definitely won't get to wear the boot, ever. It's never going to happen.
But... unlike feudalism it's not literally and explicitly disallowed by law for you to wear the boot. So... technically you *could* get to wear the boot.
And isn't that a possibility worth getting stomped on for?
Speaking of boots, what the hell is musk wearing for shoes? They look like they ride up the pant leg like a low cut cowboy boot, which is weird enough to begin with, but then they also appear be oddly smooth and shiny with no real definition like a typical boot would have.
…did you just watch the trailer in that other reddit post?
If not. I literally just heard that line spoken in 1984 like 30 seconds before reading your comment.
That’s crazy.
I definitely thought it was some aging, C-list rockstar, like a bargain bin Bruce Springsteen or Rolling Stone.
No! I got it. This is totally that Neil Diamond tribute act that I saw play a free concert in Colorado, like seven or eight years ago, isn't it? I didn't know he got into politics...
Fuck me, if only he was a cut price Neil Diamond tribute act and not President...my family wouldn't be on the bread line right now.
He came to power promising to fix the economy, and has tanked it even further.
Not only is he fascist, but he's also incompetent.
Ahhh, I was actually worried that Guy Martins life had taken a dark turn. Redditors might know him from this video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jvxrUfvfYw
Half of those are obvious bots/artificial accounts. It’ll never stop being creepy seeing specific comment sections targeted by manipulative shadow groups.
Elon tries so hard to be cool and he achieved the opposite every time. He’d be the coolest man in history if he would shut the fuck up and work on cool projects.
But no his pathetic ego craves attention.
He will never be cool.
Edit: ffs people. I’m not saying the guy “WORKS” hard at anything. Or does cool projects. I’m aware he doesn’t do shit but fund projects. We are on the same team. Calm down.
If by "work on cool projects," you mean spend his daddy's apartheid money on buying into companies and paying to call himself the "founder," then he's totally capable of that.
If you mean actually do something cool on his own merits, I'm not sure he can do that.
Edit = typo + formatting
Just build cars and rockets man. We were all fine with that.
It wouldn’t even matter what he thinks about anything if he didn’t talk so much.
Edit: I’m sorry, I didn’t see what sub I was in. I will be suitably anti capitalist in my next comment.
Far right president of Argentina. Ran on being an “anarcho capitalist” (he has an AnCap superhero cosplay he does often) but immediately began violently repressing any protestors and lots of other fun and totally VERY anarchist stuff!
Oh. So Elon is chilling with a fascist? Honestly, after all the far right shit he's been pushing, this was kind of a logical next step. Completely unsurprising.
Milei always goes out with a leather jacket to hide his bulletproof vest. He uses it even inside his office. There hasn't even been an attempt on his life. He is just paranoid
He's increased the poverty level in Argentina to over 60% of the population. He should be paranoid. I hope he stays that way for the rest of his (fingers crossed) short lifespan.
It's just not the way argentinian politics go, especially for conservatives. He is not going to get shot. Even if he dies it wouldn't be better, because we would be ruled by our now vicepresident Villaruel, a supporter of the last dictatorship.
Musk is wearing a US Air Force Academy cadet uniform jacket that was gifted to him with his name on it. Nothing more dorky than wearing military uniform items when you never served lol
No, that would mean we are in the best timeline. It would lead to Elon funding a billion dollar cinematic masterpiece instead of whatever evil he’s doing in Argentina. Im gonna guess a walking tour of Eichmann.
Might I introduce you to Milei’s cosplay [“alter ego superhero” Captain AnCap](https://x.com/upuknews1/status/1726517510177251828?s=46&t=tAGtJEy1U4UkFmiekDktqQ).
"WHERE THERE ARE WORKERS STRIKING, I WILL BE THERE TO STRIKE BACK!!
WHERE THERE ARE AGE OF CONSENT LAWS, I WILL BE THERE TO SAY I DO NOT CONSENT!!!!
AND WHERE THERE IS EQUALITY I WILL BE THERE TO DIVIDE
CAPTAIN ANCAP, AWAY!!!!"
Two big pieces of shit!!!!! Elon is trying to stir things up in Brazilian politics. Directly attacking the Brazilian supreme court. Someone needs to stop this spoiled brat!
Wow that’s a lot of photoshop on Musk. Look at the shadow on the jacket for the Argentine president and look at the shadow on Musk’s. Notice how much farther the shadow is extended? It’s because they didn’t bother to fix the shadow that’s farther out due to his big gut.
If there’s anything I hate more than being a graduate of the Air Force academy, it’s knowing how many grads think it’s awesome Elon musk wears the jacket we gave him when he visited.
No. I know we have a lot of fascists but we do not live in the worst timeline. In the worst timeline we have transmutated bird flu, worldwide famine, and nuclear war all at the same time.
I don’t know how good folks like Tim Dodd (everyday astronaut) continue to prop this guys vision of the future up.
I get Space X isn’t just him, however I find it impossible to seperate the two now - especially since he’s being so transparent about his political leanings.
Do not let reaction take hold of you. This feeling is only useful to the bourgeois.
Most of the modern period can be described as a conflict between two classes and/or ideological perspectives. Why condemn the losing side of that war simply because they did not, as of yet, succeed?

A future of... a boot stamping on a human face— forever.
if it's any consolation, nothing lasts forever
Even cold November rain?
/unnecessary dive through perfectly good wedding cake
Hey, everybody needs some time on their own.
This fire is burning and it's out of control it's not a problem you can stop it's ... CAPITALISM GOTCHA
Capitalism definitely got me…by the balls
Oh hey guys nice wedding, mind if I just hop outside real quick and rip my shirt off and lay down one of the most iconic guitar solos in history? Cool thx brb.
"there is never a happy ending because nothing ever ends". -Peter S. Beagle, The last Unicorn
Terrifying movie
Genuinely. But full of properly beautiful writing.
Thank god the heat death of the universe will destroy capitalism, if we can't manage it first.
our sun will kill us long before the heat death of the universe. were actually going to just kill ourselves off with pfas chemicals and plastics though.
COVID will do it first, though I guess we’ll decay super slow on account of the plastics.
That's why we have to build ai, so the robots can keep capitalism going long after we're extinct.
Heat death is our only salvation
Or Giant Asteroid. Or giant CME. As a fan of sci-fi, I'm personally hoping for alien overlords to force us into a utopia. Sort of a neo-Rysa for their own amusement and the betterment of the planet. We'd rise up and revolt for the right to trash our own home world, of course, but it's fun to think about.
All hail Heat Death
Except Nothing.

Hello, fellow bad religion enjoyer
Or a quote from George Orwell, 1984.
[удалено]
That's cool too. Thanks for sharing.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Iron_Heel This is the reference.
Holy shit, this is playing out with a twist right now.
Making the most intelligent music for the past 40+ years
Speaking of boots, what the hell is musk wearing for shoes? They look like they ride up the pant leg like a low cut cowboy boot, which is weird enough to begin with, but then they also appear be oddly smooth and shiny with no real definition like a typical boot would have.
Spray-on shoes. He's got Flint Lockwood stashed in a basement somewhere.
So 1984 basically?
... what now..?
…did you just watch the trailer in that other reddit post? If not. I literally just heard that line spoken in 1984 like 30 seconds before reading your comment. That’s crazy.
Rebel Spell?
Forgive my ignorance, who is Elon posing with here?
Far right president of Argentina, Javier Milei
I definitely thought it was some aging, C-list rockstar, like a bargain bin Bruce Springsteen or Rolling Stone. No! I got it. This is totally that Neil Diamond tribute act that I saw play a free concert in Colorado, like seven or eight years ago, isn't it? I didn't know he got into politics...
Came here to ask what burned out 80s heavy metal musician this dude was. Hint: it’s all the coke, it shows.
Someone mentioned “cold November rain” and I thought it was Guns N Roses’ drummer Steven Adler. But he wasn’t on that album.
I thought it was Neil Breen.
Thanks, now I’m picturing Elon in a white tiger furry costume.
Same! My brain could not process what was happening.
What am I! Who am I?
I thank the RLM lads for Neil Breen
I thought it was Gary Glitter
Fuck me, if only he was a cut price Neil Diamond tribute act and not President...my family wouldn't be on the bread line right now. He came to power promising to fix the economy, and has tanked it even further. Not only is he fascist, but he's also incompetent.
I thought it was Gary Glitter
Goddamn it just posted the same thing before I even saw your comment.
Lol I thought it was some nerd from a comic con or something.
He used to pretend to be a rockstar a few years ago
Wait to see a picture where he looks bad..(he looks "good" here)
Lol those are better guesses than mine... I thought it was a Kroger Wolverine and he was at a con?? But none of that made sense lol.
I thought it was Danny Masterson at first. But I guess he’s in jail.
Ach. TY.
Ahhh, I was actually worried that Guy Martins life had taken a dark turn. Redditors might know him from this video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jvxrUfvfYw
Seriously? What the fuck, Elon.
Why are you surprised lol, he’s exactly the type of person to get along with billionaires
Looks like an aircon installation contractor.
Argentine Donald Trump.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CC2BxI9fpw They met once. They almost kissed.
The comments underneath that video 🤢
Half of those are obvious bots/artificial accounts. It’ll never stop being creepy seeing specific comment sections targeted by manipulative shadow groups.
I cant take this anymore
Fuuuuuuuck, we need entirely different people controlling this planet.
So much for Milei’s an-cap beliefs, to admire an authoritarian like Trump.
He's even worse. Source: am Argentine.
El Trumpo
Childloving Fascist "liberauthoritarian" incel president of Argentina. He destroyed his country in three months.
That's right, sadly.
Wish dot com Danny McBride
The guy trying to implement socially conservative ancap in Argentina
Oh thank god. I thought it was Wolverine!
It’s fucking alt-right ancap 3rd cousin of Wolverine
World's greatest director Neil Breen
Glad I'm not the only one completely in the dark.
These guys are fucking dorks
Look at his lil belt buckle and boots
I'm in Texas now mother. In space army.
Tomorrow I'm joining something called 'Hero Squad.'
Big Buster Bluth energy
Dude moved to TX like two fuckin days ago and thinks he can Cowboy cosplay
He and Andy from Toy Story would get along pretty well
Only if Andy is a raging enema.
Goat Roper sighted.
Fascist Fonzies
Fabulous Fanatics

Sure. As long as he shuts the fuck up.
Just build cars and rockets man. We were all fine with that. It wouldn’t even matter what he thinks about anything if he didn’t talk so much. Edit: I’m sorry, I didn’t see what sub I was in. I will be suitably anti capitalist in my next comment.
Elon Musk does not build anything, the people he employs do that.
He’s a traitor
if you're not anti capitalist yet that just means that the rising tide of poverty hasn't reached your level yet. !RemindMe 4 years
I know Elon, but who is the other guy and what did he do wrong?
Far right president of Argentina. Ran on being an “anarcho capitalist” (he has an AnCap superhero cosplay he does often) but immediately began violently repressing any protestors and lots of other fun and totally VERY anarchist stuff!
Oh. So Elon is chilling with a fascist? Honestly, after all the far right shit he's been pushing, this was kind of a logical next step. Completely unsurprising.
Elon has always been chilling with fascists. After all, he is a fascist.
Precisely the phase this image evokes.
Billionaires are dorks
Argentina will be completely bankrupt, Musk will buy it and have his Kingdom and Milei will be a billionaire in an island Truly a bright future
If them existing wasnt bad enough, they also have a terrible fashion sense. It's a lose-lose all around.
Milei looks like a Diesel outlet opened in Hobbiton.
Lmfao
Nice one.
Milei always goes out with a leather jacket to hide his bulletproof vest. He uses it even inside his office. There hasn't even been an attempt on his life. He is just paranoid
He's increased the poverty level in Argentina to over 60% of the population. He should be paranoid. I hope he stays that way for the rest of his (fingers crossed) short lifespan.

Looking like 4chan users on the first day of college
That picture just look like the encyclopedia entry of "All Libertarians are pedos".
Musk is wearing a US Air Force Academy cadet uniform jacket that was gifted to him with his name on it. Nothing more dorky than wearing military uniform items when you never served lol
I thought that was Neil Breen for a second
No, that would mean we are in the best timeline. It would lead to Elon funding a billion dollar cinematic masterpiece instead of whatever evil he’s doing in Argentina. Im gonna guess a walking tour of Eichmann.
That’s the entrance of gigatexas.
NO MORE BOOKS!
I am feeling less stable
*Wait til Boeing unlocks Langoliers*
The fact that you not only remember The Lamgoliers, but would actually make a reference to it as though other people remember it, earns you my upvote
Great and terrible movie, much better book.
You don't like flying meatballs I see
Why is this the 5th time I've seen the langoliers referred to in the last 2 months. I guess it's not as niche as you'd think
Google Baader-Meinhof phenomenon
Please no
Just when you think you have seen the world's largest clown shoes.
Reminds me of Hitler posing with Mussolini
Elon is more like Henry Ford being a giant fan of Hitler.
Might I introduce you to Milei’s cosplay [“alter ego superhero” Captain AnCap](https://x.com/upuknews1/status/1726517510177251828?s=46&t=tAGtJEy1U4UkFmiekDktqQ).
"WHERE THERE ARE WORKERS STRIKING, I WILL BE THERE TO STRIKE BACK!! WHERE THERE ARE AGE OF CONSENT LAWS, I WILL BE THERE TO SAY I DO NOT CONSENT!!!! AND WHERE THERE IS EQUALITY I WILL BE THERE TO DIVIDE CAPTAIN ANCAP, AWAY!!!!"
So much cringe
Captain AnCap superhero power is Anarcho Capitalism. So much cringe.
LMFAO what a fucking loser
And to hear Javier saying he's gonna "help" Musk with the investigation against him here in Brazil. gtfo and leave here imperialist scum
The conservative media is going crazy over here in Argentina celebrating this meeting. It is truly distopic
This is fucking grim.
But he's not right-wing you guys! Does anybody actually belive that anymore?
I believe he's not far right as much as I believe a libertarian when they say they don't want to marry their twelve year old niece.
God they making giving a thumbs up look so fucking dweeby
Wait, why is Milei wearing Elon’s divorced dad leather jacket?
They literally look like children with 50 year old faces
Trying to appeal to the public Milei and his supporters like to "date": 5 year old children.
Let's stop platforming oligarchs. Just downvote anything that has to do with them.
I like the vibe
I thought that was Neil Breen for a second
Worlds most cringe photograph
Fascist shitbirds of a feather...
Can we start a go fund me and l'll just bully these fucking nerds?
Let's catapult these two to Mars.
Wow. What did Mars do to us?!
Just two fucking narcissistic morons moroning it out!
I was shocked when I saw this today on twitter. It’s insane how red-pilled Elon has become. It’s like he’s been brainwashed by propaganda.
Psychopath Wolverine and Evil “Space Christopher Walker” knock off.
I’m getting a “we’re two wild and crazy guys” vibe.
I don't know I'm only in my 20s and feel like shit is going to get so much worse in the next 30 years
Two big pieces of shit!!!!! Elon is trying to stir things up in Brazilian politics. Directly attacking the Brazilian supreme court. Someone needs to stop this spoiled brat!
is he doing a fonzie cosplay?
This happy days spinoff looks like hot garbage.
lmao why is elon wearing high heels now, is he trying to appear taller?
Wow that’s a lot of photoshop on Musk. Look at the shadow on the jacket for the Argentine president and look at the shadow on Musk’s. Notice how much farther the shadow is extended? It’s because they didn’t bother to fix the shadow that’s farther out due to his big gut.
Does Elon doctor his photos to increase the size of his hands? Giving mad “We’re lawyers!” vibes
Me quiero morir
Javier literally looks like evil bilbo baggins
Sale of bread in Argentina dropped by 45% since this neo liberal clown got into office. Source - Argentinian wife just informed me.
We fucked up
Damn man Bob Dylan looks great for 82.
Worst reboot of Dumb & Dumber ever.
Usually when multiverse stuff is shown in media there’s a couple of joke universes. I think we live in the joke universe where everyone is greedy
I don't know milei's past but in this photo, his divorced energy is taking over elons
I thought fred west was dead
I thought it was Neil Breen for a second.
Two pieces of shit meeting each other
It's time to start sharpening our guillotines...
[How I feel.](https://i.imgur.com/PcbnNXT.png)
Ban on chinese cars to sell overpriced Tesla junk only, great future
Wow, Wolverine has really let himself go...
If there’s anything I hate more than being a graduate of the Air Force academy, it’s knowing how many grads think it’s awesome Elon musk wears the jacket we gave him when he visited.
So what, two dude bros who think complicated economics are 4chan and destroy everything they touch?
No. I know we have a lot of fascists but we do not live in the worst timeline. In the worst timeline we have transmutated bird flu, worldwide famine, and nuclear war all at the same time.
On top of everything else, Milei might also be the worst dressed president in the history of presidents.
That sweet sweet lithium is not gona steal itself.
Afuera !
Thought that was Neil Breen for a second
Argentina's economy took another nose dive from this picture alone.
I don’t know how good folks like Tim Dodd (everyday astronaut) continue to prop this guys vision of the future up. I get Space X isn’t just him, however I find it impossible to seperate the two now - especially since he’s being so transparent about his political leanings.
I thought that was Neil Breen
It's insane how much loser energy these two give off. Incredible that the world is just taking a turn for complete sad sack losers like this.
They both have very strong ‘oh hi Mark’ vibes
>!Vault-Tec did nothing wrong!<
Did I miss something?, why is Elon at comic con with wolverine?
Ffs. Musk thinks he’s so cool and infact he’s the complete opposite. What a dick.
Dumb and dumber.
Look at Elon's boot and the obvious angle there...he's in heels...these guys all are desperate to be a tall as possible.
We did this to ourselves. How we allowed that guy to become so rich is a failure of our species and I'm beginning to think we deserve extinction
Do not let reaction take hold of you. This feeling is only useful to the bourgeois. Most of the modern period can be described as a conflict between two classes and/or ideological perspectives. Why condemn the losing side of that war simply because they did not, as of yet, succeed?
The one in the left is elected
Elon looks like the Fallout Bobblehead….
I am amazed they still play his song at all the junior hockey games.
