All this hand wringing over a few people making some glib exclamation of 'weird' or 'ew' at the thought of two awkward over-celebrated hacks having a kid together lol.
Pop Icon Grimes announces pregnancy

I didn't call everyone or anyone for that matter evil. I'm calling out people who think it's suddenly proper to dunk on an unborn child because it was recently conceived under wealthy and privileged circumstances. There's ways for fighting for or highlighting socialism without those sort of disgusting takes.
If the kid turns out to be a classist, MAGA, race baiting POS out of the womb, sure, "baby eating" as you somehow brilliantly extrapolated can be back on the menu. But people acting like the kid itself is Elon need to get some damn perspective.
"Fuck that baby" ammirite? Totally the same as not liking the couple.
Why do people feel the need to be so obtuse?
Holy shit, can we ask Jessica Simpson to get to work on a Homer
Unless it's extremely new it looks like that's photoshopped (or added via makeup) too for some reason. I haven't seen any other pictures of her with such a prominent scar.
That statement is far too absurd to be taken seriously so I don't see how I'm being obtuse. Even if it were somehow totally sincere why would you even care if random poster actually really hates a hypothetical baby begat by people they will never meet.
What do exclamations mean? Are they just a vehicle for expressing affect and tastes? Can someone have that affect to this news? And is something as trivial as the glib expression of personal tastes suited to an inane topic like a celebrity press release? (Yes).
What makes them a hack? What’s the working formula..
Your question is ridiculous. Neither have impressed me and I'm the arbiter of good taste because I'm the one speaking at this precise moment. All of that is implied lmao.
Not at all.
You call two people who are successful within their separate industries “Hacks” You’re lack of qualifications of calling anyone that word isn’t a interest of mine. I’m simply asking you what about them makes them hacks, Because clearly it’s something that’s working very well for them.
That is a TESLQ twitter account. 100% a anti-Tesla. A small percentage might be real but it is a short seller looking to make money on the companies downfall.
There is literally only motivation to identify hacks when they're successful, no one cares if an amateur no one has heard of is a hack, so what you're describing is like literally always the case.
But alright, I don't know or care about business or running a corporation but Musk seemingly gets a lot of credit for being ahead of the tech curve when the stuff he pioneers is often either obvious to any tech dilettante with an ounce of imagination or just plain bad.
With Grimes it's maybe a little more nuanced. Her work tends to fall into this median no mans land for me where it's neither experimental enough, nor catchy or well structured enough, nor emotionally articulate enough, to ever leave me with much of an impression after it's gone. It can sound nice but I've never really found the sum of its parts to be very substantial.
Were you expecting my articulation of taste (which is ultimately all these discussions can ever be) to be satisfying? Or did you really expect me to be the first person in the world to produce an objective formula for hackdom in this thread about some celebrity dorks having a kid?
how is Elon a stain to humanity? Wanting to rebuild our space program and make electric cars. How dare he?
“He is a billionaire.” All that money is in Tesla and SpaceX. If they go under so does he.
The Reset evil “got it all from his family”
Sure he definitely had privilege but he hated his dad and supposedly wasn’t supported.
Which fucking source do you want then, because this was the first one I found with a link to the actual police report. I can get you Bloomberg, ArsTechnica, maybe Financial Times?
More of the point is if people dunked on say, Greta Thornburg, there would be bans caught left and right on the grounds she's a kid (well, teenager) that didn't do anything wrong. No one would be giving those same sort of excuses or still be about. That doesn't mean kids are immune. That POS suing everyone for showing how he's a POS deserves everything and more being said about him. But, you know, he actually did things to deserve it. This is a fetus ffs, and part of why I considered putting it in a different light was obtuse.
The discussing the probable looks or not liking the coupling is harmless and pretty expected, given Elon is involved and has at least the past couple of years setting himself up to be detested with various comments and lawsuits.
I guess my attitude is that in the same way that you identify this as being about a fetus, for me it just seems like such a hypothetical since in this case we're talking about an initial reaction to something that hasn't even been actualized yet. I honestly just have kind of a hard time taking it seriously and am consequently just inclined to interpret it as someone essentially misspeaking.

This good post is The perfect Example of how you know someone doesn’t listen to grimes. blessed be thy ears
Is there a competition on Era to see who can make the edgiest anti-Musk comment or something, what did I miss? Bonuspoints if you talk shit about an innocent baby?
Yeah it’s fucked up. I get not liking the parents but that baby isn’t even born yet.
Nice to see everyone talking about her dating decisions and critiquing them but Elon Musk doesn't get the same treatment.
I think its because POP-Era like Grimes but loath Elon Musk.
Billionaires are unethical in their very existence as a bourgeois class and acting like they're going to save us is Great Man bullshit.
User Banned (1 week): Trolling, vitriolic commentary over multiple posts
boy ur on here caping for a pulsating sac of viscera in grimes' belly
Where am I caping for the baby? I asked you "Why?". And then I concluded that being full of hate for an unborn child for no reason does not support mental stability.

Electrics aren't going to save the planet. This doesn't even factor in the exploration of poor countries for lithium.
Dudes trying to make high speed death tunnels under cities insteed of realising the subway solves that problem already but ew poor people ride it. Space is awesome but all the awe of exploration is sucked out of it if its just the same billionaires going up there to extract wealth - or worse, escape climate change.
Not to mention the pure narcisim of his pedo-guy comments.
He's as ruthless and uncaring as all people who have fought their way to the top. Difference is his posturing and constant PR makes him more annoying in my eyes. Dude would let the world burn before giving up his wealth.
You know what happens when people buy electric vehicles? They stop buying gas

You know what happens when people stop buying gas? ExxonMobil BP Shell etc go bankrupt
You know what happens when the oil companies go bankrupt? Every war started the last 40 years loses all meaning. They stop paying for conservative propoganda and the election of Republicans to carry out their bidding
You know what happens when the Republicans are no longer elected? Serious climate change policy can be enacted and the planet can be saved
People spreading around bullshit like your chart ensures big oil wins as always. Good job. Never in a million years did I think we would get to a point where people would try to demonize electric vehicles but here we are. All that Koch brothers anti EV conservative think tank propoganda worked like a fucking charm especially amongsts liberal places like this forum. We've seen this playbook before people...
Also to say a man that put his entire net worth into an electric vehicle company and a rocket company and has never ever once to this very day sold 1 single share of either company, only cares about money is the most asinine thing I have ever read online. It takes 10 seconds of common sense thinking to realize he could have took his 200 million from PayPal and lived on fuck off island the rest of his life if money was what motivated him.
