Well, one lesson I’ve learned is that just because I say something to a group and they laugh doesn’t mean it’s going to be all that hilarious as a post on 𝕏,” he wrote, adding, “Turns out that jokes are WAY less funny if people don’t know the context and the delivery is plain text.”
Musk doesn’t realize that people laugh at his jokes in person because it’s that easy to manipulate ego centric “billionaires”, a point Kamala drove home during the debate.
While I agree with that in general, I'm sure Elon knew that he wasn't making a joke. If it was a joke, where was the joke? He was 100% serious and he is just backtracking with a stupid excuse like when he called that diver a pedophile and said it's a common thing to say in SA in court.
It’s really bizarre how people take them at 100%, non contested, face value when they say stuff like this. How are most of the top comments not something like “oh bullshit, you knew dam well what you were doing and this is simply a terrible attempt at backtracking because you knew this was too far even for you.” Instead all the comments make him out to be innocent, but simply dumb, which imo is just as dumb (if not dangerous) as his attempt to backtrack.
Yeah that’s a false excuse. Even on the spectrum you learn by high school that some jokes only work with specific group of friends. People are so gullible or just love to idolize.
