That shiner looks more like someone was sending him a strong message. To be a fly on the wall…
Oh don’t worry, he just tripped and fell into a doorknob from a door that someone was swinging into his stupid face.
Edit: fixed typo
Should have been a sack of doorknobs.
he took a cheeto to the face
Is that roughly the size of one of Brigitte’s bony fingers?
what do you call a Nazi with a black eye?
a good start
He hasn’t fought with anyone you guys, he’s been high as fuck and hit his face on a table or something.
Got slapped in a throuples spat.
Doubt it. Pussies like him avoid physical conflict at all costs, even though they would never admit it.
I’m like 99% sure he’s just taken a line too strong of ketamine and literally zoned out and hit his face on the table. He’s right handed right? So he’d take his right hand to his nose and snort with his left nostril, then have that hit a bit too hard and fall on the right side of his face.
Musk was also asked about his bruised eye, which he attributed to rough-housing with his five-year-old son.
Not news
The journalist should have seen if he could name the child.
Musk: punch me
X: OKAY
Musk: guess that wasn’t a great idea…
“If you think this is bad, you should see the other guy!” - Drugged up Elon Musk
The kid did what many of us want to do! Good for him!
Probably revenge for calling him X Æ A-Xii.
That kid is going to spend his whole life crashing into poorly-coded Web validation software.
EDIT: Also, as usual, there’s an xkcd for that:
Little Bobby Tables
Classic
The ketamine side effects probably had him fall and/or bump into something.
Yeah, honestly, as much as I want there to be some drama here, he probably did this to himself by accident. The kid punching him story is stupid, fake, gay, dumb, etc. Nobody really believes that shit.
If someone did actually punch him, he would have lost his shit, there would be a much larger fallout.
He’s just a drug addict (not a bad thing, lots of beautiful people are, let’s not shame), who is abusing others around him as a result of his drug abuse. He probably just hit his head on something while fucked on Special K/E/Adderall/etc.
Not trying to give credit to Elonazi. I just remembered that my kid (~19 months) smashed the babyphone onto my head. I would have gotten a black eye for sure if he would have hit it. Still love him. My son, not Elonazi, of course.
I think most addicts would disagree with you that being an addict isn’t a bad thing.
Most people are drug addicts. Almost everyone I know is addicted to caffeine. Addiction sucks, but being an addict isn’t necessarily bad. It’s when it starts causing issues in your life or you can’t handle yourself properly that it’s a problem.
Also sugar
Yeah, I think I’ve read that sugar is more addictive than cocaine. Put simply, we’re all addicted to things. I don’t know if anyone in this world can truly say they aren’t an addict. Some addiction are just more socially acceptable, but that just brings to light that addiction isn’t the issue, it’s the behavior. You should be allowed to be addicted to what you want as long as it doesn’t harm others.
Carbohydrates are needed for our bodies to function, so sugar is a bit different.
Virtually everyone is addicted to sugar, to the point that most people can’t imagine that it’s an addiction… until they try to stop.
Hating addicts for being addicts, is a bad thing. They’re still people, with full lives, and can be wonderful humans. They may also need help, or they may choose not to get help. The point being, we shouldn’t judge people based on whether or not they’re an addict.
Where did you get the idea I hate/judge addicts? You made it up. You’re willing to wash away the ugliness that the disease of addiction is, and that’s a pretty bad thing to do.
I don’t believe they were projecting, so much as clarifying their original position.
Correct
I think they were ignoring the nuance which is that a good person could be a victim of a bad thing without it being their fault. Otherwise why say “it’s not a bad thing”?
victim of a bad thing
I think you hit the nail on the head here. Addiction is the bad thing. Being an addict (victim) is not.
Noone said they were hating him for his drug use. Being a drug addict is a bad thing by definition. If it wasnt a negative for the person we wouldnt call it addiction.
Unfortunately drug addicts are “judged” because they are simply riskier to associate with than a sober person. I’m not sure how many sober people are actually left though, and most people won’t disclose their drug addictions.
In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts by Gabor Mate was pivotal in reframing my perspective on addiction and addicts.
Sorry, could you summarize how?
It expanded my understanding of their socioeconomic plight, psychological suffering, and physiological vicious cycle, exacerbated by ineffective draconian punitive measures implemented by government. It’s a truly excellent and compassionate book, I found the discussion on brain chemistry fascinating as well, and should be easy enough to find with Libby or at a local library.
This ideology started in the 60s and 70s with moral panics against minorities. Drug Addicts are inhumane in our society and well were pathetic.
…stupid, fake, gay, dumb… --> 75 upvotes on lemmy
It’s a greentext meme. Everything on 4chan is “fake/gay”.
It’s not being used in a serious context here.
“That’s how they do it on 4chan” is probably one of the worst possible justifications for one’s behaviour.
I mean, even the various LGBT sub reddits commonly use that Chang in community saying “HA, GAAAY!” gif to various number of up votes.
Edit: good job hive mind. Very proud of you! 🖖
I think context matters. My queer friends and I will call each other the f-slur, but I wouldn’t use it at a family supper, for example. Likewise, I think the tone is different using “gay” in a queer meme community versus in a serious discussion on a news community.
I’m not defending the flippant use of it in day to day conversation. But considering this community (Lemmy) I think it’s fairly safe to say they were not being homophobic.
I shut that shit down quick with some Gen z roommates I had when they said it everyone they died in a video game. For context, I am two standard deviations to the right of the bell curve when it comes to largeness, and I don’t mean I was fat. My mom considered herself bi, but is married to a woman. After relaying that info to said roommate, I didn’t hear it again.
That being said, I don’t think that type is prone to the jumping through technological hoops required to create an account here.
Literally triggered a vomit response for me. I hate every bit of that video. How is this actually happening?
“can you imagine, calling him an employee?”
Hey get this, if you’re a worker in any industry Trump doesn’t respect you.
Which was literally the premise of The Apprentice
His mind is on the verge of becoming complete mush due to drug abuse isn’t it?
He looks and sounds like a druggie that will soon become homeless due to complete disassociation with reality, how can this even happen with personal doctors and clinics, and diets, and cosmetologists and whatever else?
Verge? I think he’s been well past that point for a while now.
“verge of”
Bro he went off that ledge like 10 years ago
Micheal Jackson had all those things and still OD’d on tranquilizers.
Drugs can be a helluva drug. Also billionaires don’t think that anyone else has the right to tell them “no”.
And, billions of dollars to have lackeys find you drugs. And private fucking jets to fly to countries with drugs, and bring you back drugs. And a bestie you bought a Presidency for, to keep the DEA from seeing your plane.
Motive, means, and opportunity.
And most of all, a gargantuan ego that refuses to believe anything bad can happen to them.
He probably has his own lab. At least that what I would do if I had all that money.
Not a bad idea. It could be distributed, with innocent components assembled in any of his many factories, and then final mix in the nursery.

Also, billionaires have enough money to find a doctor who will tell them, “yes.”
Hi everybody!
A wild Dr. Nick appeared. And got down voted.
Also, Musk is notoriously overconfident that he can learn anything better than experts. No doubt in my mind he’s decided how much ketamine and other drugs he “needs,” and has pliant doctors to agree.
He’s the wealthiest man in the world, what do you mean “how does this happen?”?
Just when you thought he couldn’t look any worse…
Worse? I think he looks great with a black eye. He’d look even better with another black eye.
He’d look absolutely gorgeous with a bullet hole in between them.
I’d encourage him to explore this new fashion.
Big daddy T showed him…
“In other news, Trump was seen sporting a cast on his left hand”
In a world where billionaires exist, by rules of ethics, as long as they exist, we are all defending ourselves from them.
Give him more
