Elon Musk Jared Kushner Social Media WTF?!

Jared And Elon Set Off A Wave Of Online Chatter By Attending The World Cup Final Together

In what many are calling the greatest World Cup Final in history, Argentina defeated France today on penalty kicks.

The Athletic reports:

Lionel Messi has led Argentina to World Cup glory after the most thrilling final in the 92-year history of the tournament.

Argentina took the lead through Messi and Angel Di Maria, only for Kylian Mbappe to score a late brace. Messi restored Argentina’s lead in extra time, but Mbappe again hit back for France, completing his hat-trick and taking the game to a penalty shootout.

Argentina won the shootout 4-2, to claim the World Cup and victory in one of the sport’s all-time great games.

Shortly after the game was over, a photo began circulating online showing Twitter CEO Elon Musk and former Trump administration senior adviser Jared Kushner standing together in a private box at the stadium in Qatar, which led this posting:

What in the hell is going on there? Is Jared trying to line up another couple of billion bucks from Qatar, much the same as he did with the Saudis right after the Trump administration ended?

And why is Musk at the World Cup? Granted, he’s a billionaire and can attend any sporting event on the planet, but is he really there to try and shore up his Twitter investment? After all, a report from the Wall Street Journal suggests that Musk is desperate to sell more shares in the social media platform because he no longer has the cash on hand he needs to pay the bills for rent on office space and vendors who supply the company.

Since neither Kushner or Musk was kind enough to explain the reason for the simultaneous appearance at the World Cup, it seems only fair to let social media figure it out.

Jared and Elon make a nice couple, especially when they’re on the hunt for blood money.

Lauren Boebert’s Attempt To Rally Conservatives Comes Back To Bite Her Right On The A*s

Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert desperately wants to be thought of as an important member of the Republican Party, but she repeatedly proves to be nothing more than a laughingstock.

Such is the case with Boebert’s call for conservatives to be more aggressive

On Monday, Boebert tweeted out, “Conservatives, we need to be on OFFENSE not DEFENSE.”

But that tweet left Boebert wide open to an obvious counterattack which she really should have seen coming, providing she actually knows more about the English language and sentence structure than a 5-year-old, which has been the subject of great debate since she first appeared on the political scene. After all, this is the same woman who has also said the following:

“When 9/11 happened, we didn’t ban planes, we secured the cockpits.”

Being on “offense” is something Bobo excels at, as she’s among the most offensive people on the planet, which Twitter users were only too happy to remind her.

Fauci Claps Back At Musk And Provides A Withering Description Of Twitter Since Elon Took Over

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the outgoing director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is not impressed with Twitter CEO Elon Musk, and he’s making it clear that the social media platform under Musk’s so-called leadership leaves a lot to be desired.

Fauci was responding to a tweet sent out by Musk on Sunday in which he suggested that the doctor needs to be put on trial, posting, “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci.”

Fauci was asked about Musk’s tweet by former Obama administration official David Axelrod on his podcast. The doctor remarked:

“I don’t respond to him. I don’t pay any attention to him because that’s merely a distraction.”

Fauci also took a swipe at Twitter under Musk’s ownership:

“And if you get drawn into that and, I have to be honest, that cesspool of interaction, it’s … there’s no value added to that, David, it doesn’t help anything.”

Axelrod was asked about his interview with Fauci by CNN host Erin Burnett Monday evening on her show.

“Pretty remarkable comment referring to Twitter, what else did Fauci tell you in response to Musk?”

Axelrod:

“Well, he clearly was eager, as he said, not to engage with Musk directly. But he did say, Erin, and it was really interesting, reflecting on his over half century of work that this has been a half century of extraordinary progress in science, in public health. But when it came to the political discourse, he said there’s been an erosion. And he lays a lot of it on social media.”

He added:

“And, of course, he’s been in the middle of this. He’s been — he was targeted all throughout the pandemic for the decisions that he advised and the advice he was giving to policymakers about how he should proceed to deal with that pandemic, and to the point where he had significant security threats that required round-the-clock security, which he says in his podcast that is going to have to continue after he leaves his post at the end of this month.

“So, you know, he has pretty strong feelings about the erosion of our public discourse and the role social media has played in it.”

WATCH Elon Musk Get Booed When Invited Onstage By Dave Chappelle

As he continues to turn Twitter into a massive social media shitshow, Elon Musk took time out to attend a comedy show by Dave Chappelle in San Francisco.

But as NBC News notes, the reception Musk received certainly suggests that while Musk may be a billionaire who owns a social media platform, the audience at Chappelle’s show were not impressed and they let him know it.

“Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for the richest man in the world,” Chappelle said, according to one video shared online by an account that no longer exists as of Monday morning.

The crowd erupted in cheers, which was quickly overwhelmed with audible cries of “boo!” as Musk, sporting an “I love Twitter” shirt, waved to the arena.

“Cheers and boos, I see,” Chappelle said as Musk shrugged to the audience.

“Controversy, buddy. It sounds like some of the people you fired are in the audience,” the comedian said to the laughter of the crowd and Musk.

When he finally spoke, Musk meekly asked Chappelle, “Dave, what should I say?”

One of the people in the audience, James Wu, noted that it seemed like the reception from the crowd deflated Musk and left him speechless.

“Dave gave him so many chances to speak but he just put his hands in his pockets. I actually felt bad for him. I’m by no means an Elon fanboy, more a centrist. I wanted to shake him: for the love of god man, say something and pretend it’s a tweet!!”

As you might expect, Musk had a much different recollection of what took place when he walked onstage, and he tried to put a happy face on the whole embarrassing appearance.

“Technically, it was 90% cheers & 10% boos (except during quiet periods), but, still, that’s a lot of boos, which is a first for me in real life (frequent on Twitter). It’s almost as if I’ve offended SF’s unhinged leftists … but nahhh.”

Sure thing, Elon. You may be the richest man in the world, but you’re also one of the most hated. And you damn well deserve to be.

WATCH Jim Jordan Have An Angry Meltdown When Asked About His Pro-Kanye West Tweet

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) got very upset when Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) questioned him about a tweet sent out on October 7 from the account of Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee and proceeded to have a meltdown that was captured by C-SPAN.

Swalwell asked Jordan if he would repudiate failed former president Donald Trump for saying that parts of the U.S. Constitution should be “terminated” and him returned to the presidency.

Jordan replied that Trump had “clarified” those demands, even though the ex-president has yet to stop saying that he won the 2020 election.

But when Swalwell brought up the October tweet, Jordan lost it.

Here’s the tweet, which was later deleted:

Confronted with the tweet, Jordan exclaimed, “That tweet was not on our account. That tweet was removed.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmgU25xo3jY&feature=emb_logo

Actually, the tweet was on the House Judiciary GOP’s Twitter account for weeks and only vanished after West made blatantly anti-Semitic comments and praised Adolf Hitler.

The tweet was on the account of Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee. Jordan, as the ranking Republican on the committee, controls that account and what gets posted on it.

Sorry, Jim, but you’re busted, and your denials confirm what we’ve long suspected about the disgusting bigotry, racism, and hatred that runs rampant in the GOP.
