It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

King Bazinga wants this shit bad, too.

From the comments where I found the above picture:

https://old.reddit.com/r/EnoughMuskSpam/comments/1frcy0c/this_guy_is_addicted_to_ai_images_of_himself/

During Elon's conversation with Trump on twitter, the one that came after he endorsed him and started sucking his dick and felt like he actually forced him into a live conversation on twitter spaces.

He was leading the conversation quite effectively, and he led Trump into this corner where he was asking REPEATEDLY if Trump would make a new area of the government.

"So really we need to reduce our government spending, and I think we need a government spending commission"

From the twitter spaces, Elon floats the idea of the government spending efficiency department and how much we need it. Then Trump starts rambling about gasoline. Again a few minutes later Elon comes back AGAIN to this government efficiency department thing.

"So would you agree we need to take a look at government spending and have perhaps a government efficiency commission that makes the spending more efficient"

Trump goes off on a tangent on to talk about jets and air force one and its paintjob etc etc etc.

But then ELON AGAIN comes back to this efficiency department, literally DRAGGING Trump back again to the subject.

"So again I just think it would be great to have a government efficiency commission that takes a look at these things and just shows that the tax payer money is spent in a good way. I'd be happy to help out with such a commission"

Trump says "I'd love it, you well you're the greatest cutter. People go on strike and they are gone, theyre all gone".

So Elon basically cornered Trump into this interview and then repeatedly brought up this new government department that he wants to run, managing to get Trump to agree to it.

Then low and behold, september 5th

"Trump pledges to tap Elon Musk to head government efficiency commission"

https://aljazeera.com/news/2024/9/5/trump-pledges-to-tap-elon-musk-to-head-government-efficiency-commission

The Republican presidential candidate says the commission would audit the entire federal government and suggest ‘drastic reforms’.

Yeah yeah be funny if the imperial core collapsed because of this expanded circus fire and all that and lol accelerationism, but I also don't want me or my family to get poisoned from toxic waste from upstream so it's hard for me to cheer for that.

Watching him throw himself at Trump and beg for his approval is so fucking pathetic.

"I made a meme of us, do you like it? 🥺"

Narcissists tend to have selective memory, so the teenager-tier edgy baiting attempts to get trump-anguish back on Twitter some time ago are apparently forgotten by both of them.

If you look for it, CW for sex pest and borderline libertarian-alert shit.
