He can be your angle or yuor devil

[–] LemmyLaLibre@feddit.ch 59 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I just like how they try so hard to purge a bad photo and that just makes it immortal.

Streisand effect

The Streisand effect in full swing

[–] Followupquestion@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

[–] toxicbubble@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Deleted by Elon Musk

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 54 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Getting strong Grandma's Boy vibes here.

[–] espais@programming.dev 14 points 1 year ago

How did you see him?

[–] MorrisonMotel6@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's because you don't have robot ears

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I'm thinking of getting metal legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it.

[–] kool_newt@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Bvzzzt.... pew pew pew ...Bvzzt

[–] simple@lemm.ee 50 points 1 year ago

He looks like he's about to do a stand-in for episode of chris angel mindfreak

[–] PenguinJuice@kbin.social 46 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is the third Elon Musk related post in a row. Can we agree to simmer down?

[–] WhatASave@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

How will people know I hate him if I don't post about him constantly?

[–] VanillaGorilla@kbin.social 38 points 1 year ago (2 children)

On a scale from 1 to 10, how effective was this removal?

Well we can see the photo for a start

What happens if I make this my profile picture on ~~Twitter~~ X?

[–] wabafee@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

His hairline sure got liberated after.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Or he just bought more hair

[–] CoolBeance@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

I remember my first social studies class

[–] FierroGamer@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

What's the context on this photo? Why did he try to remove it from the internet?

Edit: thanks 👍

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

According to his tweet he wore it to a party in 2012. And the tweet is still there, so the part about removing it from the internet is just a meme.

He worried it might one day show up on Lemmy and that he would feel judged by the community.

[–] LemmyLaLibre@feddit.ch 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was cringe and people kept bringing it up.

[–] ShustOne@lemmy.one 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No it was for a costume party. He tweeted it and his tweet is still up. The part of him wanting it removed is made up. I don't like the guy but this gets posted constantly online and is easily shown to be false.

[–] Afrazzle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

"___ wanted this picture deleted" is just the latest version of clickbait

[–] 2ez@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Liberty. Liberty. Lib-er-ty.

[–] DrinkMonkey@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He looks like he’s contemplating getting robot legs

[–] SpezCanLigmaBalls@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It’s a risky operation

[–] Rayspekt@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Did you say "download it, just in case"? Gotcha, fam.

Has he tried Pledge?

[–] StankFlipper@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

JP will never get robot legs. What a douche.

[–] DaveNa@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Genius ... Genius I tell you. /s
