    Netflix should sue him and force him to subscribe, just like he was going to sue advertisers for not advertising on X.

    That opening paragraph is a thing of savage beauty

    X boss and free speech stalwart Elon Musk has cancelled his Netflix account amid a right-wing backlash to a trans-inclusive show that was cancelled more than two years ago

    Canceling Disney subscriptions: because fascists tried to silence criticism against the idiocy that is the trump regime.

    Canceling Netflix subscriptions: because conservatives hate trans people…. who could have seen this coming

        It’s weird that people keep propagating their posts. Just block it and let it disappear into obscurity… Nobody shotgive a fuck about what they post, it’s all negative IQ garbage.

          This is one of the things I don’t get. One of the big reasons Trump got such a huge boost in polls was because every time he did anything ridiculous and godawful, every news outlet reported on it. Putting his name on everyone’s tongue. And every single one of these fuckers does the same thing. They do ridiculous outrageous awful things, everyone reports on it, and so they get more of the news cycle than anything else.

        Whenever he’s transphobic I always think of his daughter Vivian and feel like it must hurt her a lot. It’s sad

          My pet theory is that he’s transphobic because Vivian destroyed his dream of having only sons. He (in)famously uses IVF so he can selectively only have male embryos implanted. And Vivian flies in the face of that plan. Vivian is living proof that even with all of the modern scientific marvels of IVF and all the money in the world, he still can’t accomplish his goal of only having boys.

            I don’t know about those specifics, but I too think that Elmu’s reaction to Vivian’s transition is a large part of his transphobia. I’m pretty sure he’d be a POS anyway, but society not letting him control his progeny really gets him worked up.

      They genuinely think they’re boycotting for the same reason other people boycott Nazi run business. The difference is that they’re dumb as rocks and will believe whatever the angry men on TV tell them.

      He paid for boys so does he care that his daughter disowned him? He didn’t use his ill-gotten gains to buy a female meat shield! Besides, he’s already got his “You’re not the real president” kid for that.

    You may be the richest man on earth, but your Netflix subscription is still the same price as everyone elses. So I’m sure Netflix doesn’t really give a shit.

      Perhaps he thinks that people give a shit about his opinions. He burned his bridges with conservatives by accepting huge government contracts and shitting on trump. He burned his bridges with liberals with is DOGE fiasco and by allying himself with trump.

      The few disaffected people that hung on after those can’t be happy with Elon throwing himself in Ketamine trance on a regular basis. Musks has zero credibility with anyone now except his hand picked board members of Tesla Inc.

        Perhaps he thinks that people give a shit about his opinions.

        Quite famously one of his biggest beefs when he took over Twitter was that the President of the United States of America was getting more hits on his Twitter account than Musk was. So he set out to fix that and has altered the algorithm that runs Twitter so that his tweets literally are the highest priority on the entire site. In other words, he really does believe his opinion matters that much.

        Edit: P.S. and even though I haven’t had a Twitter account literally ever. I keep seeing his tweets because people keep fucking copy/pasting them all over the goddamn place. Something I wish would really fucking stop.

          It indicates he wants it to, but its cognitive dissonance at best. If people did care about his opinion, he wouldn’t have had to put his thumb on the scale tilting the traffic to artificially point to his posts. People are leaving Twitter anyway, which has to prove it even further people don’t want to hear from him.

        He still has a sizeable tech bro/temporarily embarrassed millionaire following filled with politically-apathetic/“right leaning for the tax breaks” people. But I can’t imagine they’re opinionated enough to take his opinion as a call to cancel their own convenient Netflix subscription so your point still stands

      He cancelled netflix because he is scared of trans people. I cancelled netflix because it’s the financially responsible thing to do. We are not the same 😎

    Take your pick:

    Note: These are directed at PinkNews, rather than OP. The point I’m trying to make is that, at least in my opinion, it’s ridiculous to report on everything this vaguely humanoid turd says and does when it’s as inconsequential as this. “Elon Does Nazi Salute” is newsworthy; “Elon Cancels Netflix Subscription” is not.

    And now, on with the memes…
