This will actually work. Theyre both megalomaniacs with fragile egos, putting him in Trumps shadow making it look like he's being used by Trump will drive him crazy
it's the other way around. mangolini cannot share the spotlight and is already annoyed that elon is always up his ass trying to be co-president. elon however is a massive cuck bitch so he'll probably be regularly humiliated by him and not do anything about it.
I remembered this and googled it. In my mind there was a video, but man. It’s been a crazy 8 years.
"When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it's electric cars that don't drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocket ships to nowhere, without which subsidies he'd be worthless," the ever-gracious Trump wrote in 2022, "and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, 'drop to your knees and beg,' and he would have done it…"
This is just fucking misogyny. If the best insult you can think of against Elon Musk is to call him a woman, then you just hate women. Anyone who thinks this is actually good, you are part of the problem, just go vote for fucking Trump
I'm gonna force myself to watch a crappy Stephen King movie because of this. I'll raise a glass to anyone that can get under the skin of this dumb chump.
I'd like to add Dreamcatcher. Nothing spectacular, but what a great cast! I'd say it's like an airport novel; quick and easy to consume, and rather entertaining.
Dr. Sleep, the sequel to "The Shining" was a very apt adaption, too.
And don't trust Kings own approval of the Dark Tower movie although Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey were actually good casts. It's was bad nonetheless. We could have had an 10 seasons series on par with Game of Thrones if it wasn't for that movie.
The Langoliers is one option, a low budget TV-movie adaptation, and it has a few allegorical parallels to today’s events.
Example 1: danger as a function of regression.
For starters, the movie captures the surreal feeling many have re: our corrupted timeline.
The characters’ original timeline continues on without them and they fall further behind the present until the langoliers find them.
With increasing alarm, we’ve watched our timeline fall further and further from the expected path of slow but steady progress, to the point that the darkest chapter of modern history has caught up to us.
Example 2: status quo as a form of paralysis.
The restrained physics of temporal-decay around the airport gives much of the movie its aesthetic of liminal stasis.
Arguably this is not unlike the husk of our former democratic government in slowing the march of progress to a crawl, focusing on conservation of status quo politics. Even now, the government timidly awaits its assimilation by the fascist demagogues, who promise to carve it up and feed it to an endless, insatiable hunger that is eating the planet. (Yeah global elites are the langoliers in this comparison.)
But the allegory fails, because our monsters are weak.
Fascists and their supporters are cowards by definition. Fear and division made them, it is what drives them, and it’s how they drive others. Spreading it is required to maintain their power. So it should come as no surprise that they are most vulnerable to courage and unity. Indeed, wherever these remain, they can only cede ground and lose power.
Steven King doesn't make movies...!? I guess reading one of his dreadful books that never saw a professional editor is too much for a performative gag.
Context matters here. I think the joke is that this gender-swapped picture would really piss off Elon Musk in particular because he's so openly and proudly transphobic.
Maybe, although I personally don't get that at all. Then again I'm not exactly a misogynist and do enjoy drag... Maybe I do want to see Elon in legit* drag after all. And I do mean something legit--not the diarrhea of frat bro tropes he'd inevitably lean into.
Can we get a fanfic going about Elon's secret drag performance addiction instead of ketamine? I'd probably read it, but I'd also be glad it exists.
